President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other senior Democrats refuse to say America is at war with “radical Islamic terrorism” for fear of insulting all Muslims, but voters beg to disagree.

Three days after the Islamic State terrorist attacks in Paris, Americans were primed to hear their president express heartfelt anger, which he did in his press conference in Antalya, Turkey, at the end of the G-20 summit. And they did hear him describe ISIS as "this barbaric terrorist organization" and acknowledge that the "terrible events in Paris were a terrible and sickening setback."
Deray McKesson, the professional agitator whose racial rabble-rousing began at tax-subsidized Teach for America, proudly unveiled his new enterprise on the Internet Thursday: A website chronicling "THE DEMANDS" of his radical brothers and sisters on college campuses across Northern America.
"We recently launched http://thedemands.org which compiles the college demands from across the country," he tweeted. "Check it out."
Has Donald Trump's tough response to the massacres in Paris helped him regain some lost ground?
More than three-quarters of Americans who are now in the military or have previously served have little doubt that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a major problem for veterans.
President Obama says the Syrian refugees he hopes to move here are no more dangerous than tourists. The governors of more than two dozen states, citing the links between those refugees and the weekend massacres in Paris, aren’t convinced and have asked the president not to settle them in their states.
The atrocities in Paris over the weekend show that events can and will inject new issues into the presidential contest or intensify ones that already exist. But it’s important to remember that what dominates news today might not be what dominates it a month from now, and we still have two and a half months until the primary season begins and nearly a year before the general election.
Black Lives Matter or all lives matter is an ongoing political debate, but most voters aren't convinced that the Black Lives Matter movement is interested in justice for all.
Americans agree on the importance of sleep, but a sizable number say they don't get enough of it.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development has proposed banning smoking in all of the nation’s 1.2 million public housing units. Voters like the idea but seriously doubt that it will work.
Back in May, with ISIS ascendant, the Obama Pentagon ordered U.S. military bases here at home to raise their force protection condition status (FPCON) to "Bravo" amid a "general increase in the threat environment."
If you are still confused about how Donald Trump is walking away with the Republican nomination for president, look no further than his swift, reflexive, fearless and unvarnished response to the terrorist attack in Paris.
After a terrorist attack, it's natural to ask: What can politicians do to keep us safe?
Democratic voters are more convinced than they have been in months that Hillary Clinton will represent their party in next year’s presidential election.
In a heated exchange during last week's Republican presidential primary debate, Senator Rand Paul criticized fellow Senator Marco Rubio for his calls to substantially increase defense spending when the United States already spends more on its military than the next 10 countries combined. Turns out just half of U.S. voters are aware of how much this country spends compared to the rest of the world, and a plurality wants the figure to increase.
Riots in black neighborhoods. Rebellions on campus. The news these past few months and particularly in the past week has been full of stories that remind us, as William Faulkner wrote a little more than half a century after the Civil War, "the past is never dead. It's not even past." We're seeing something that looks eerily like the recurrence of events that led, half a century ago, to the destruction of much of our cities and much of our campuses.
Front-runner Hillary Clinton didn’t move an inch among Democratic voters following Saturday night’s debate even though there were two fewer candidates on stage. She also clearly has a problem with younger voters.
There was a painful irony when France's immediate response to the terrorist attacks in Paris was to close the borders. If they had closed the borders decades ago, they might have avoided this attack.
Someone once said that the First World War was the most stupid thing that European nations ever did. Countries on both sides of that war ended up worse off than before, whether they were on the winning side or the losing side.
Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey for the week ending November 12.
Voters remain less confident in their safety here at home than they have ever been, and that’s before the horrific weekend massacres by radical Islamic terrorists in Paris.
