    Republicans are exploring a shift away from pro-life strategy after election losses

    It's been obvious for a long time that they can't win while taking a hard line on this issue. I ignore hardliners. I'm prolife and prochoice and always want to see reasonable limits on everything, but right now abortion regulation is not at the top of the list when everything else is falling...

    Joe Biden allegedly paid $5M by Burisma executive as part of a bribery scheme

    I wish there were some hungry investigative reporters out there who care more about truth than brand loyalty. I'm sure there would be much more interesting news stories than "trump has some documents that aren't really important but let's charge him with treason"

    North Carolina Legislature Approves Bill Banning Transgender Athletes From Women’s, Girls’ Sports

    When it comes to transgenders in sports, and other areas of life, I say we adopt the idea that "punching up" is ok but "punching down" isn't. It's a progressive idea so they should be on board. Since everyone agrees biology is real I say anyone can compete with men, anyone can use a mens room or...

    Australians could require four or five jabs to be considered ‘up to date’

    I've been wondering something, since my brother is unvaccinated let's fast forward to 2023 and maybe a new strain or 6 has bounced around the globe and a NEW version of the vaccine is made that was created especially to protect against the latest one. Would he have to take the original 2, the...

    Next Putin targets: Finland and Sweden?

    Putin wants something from Ukraine, that's why this is happening. He's not on a bender to attack countries willy nilly.

    Equity or Equality?

    "equity" is a word that should never be used since it can't be achieved. The dictionary definitions aren't representative of how the terms "equality" and "equity" are being used in a "social justice" sense. If it was there would be no need for all the diversity and inclusion, quotas, and CRT...

    Does white privilege exist in the US?

    The current focus on race everywhere you go is causing people to speak out against it and that get's spun into people being accused of racism. On top of that I've seen perfectly fine people get so frustrated with conversations about race that they go out of their way to say things that are MEANT...

    Huge study shows hydroxychloroquine associated with increased risk of death and heart arrhythmia

    All drugs have risks, don't you guys read the inserts or listen to the fast talkers on the commercials? You weigh the risk/reward and go for it depending on your situation.

    Would you be willing to risk the lives of any of your loved ones to save the economy?

    If you mean would I be willing to risk us catching a virus? Yeah. We "risk our lives" in many ways every day as it is. There are steps that can be taken to keep health risks to a minimum but clearly we can't kill the economy by trying to hide from a virus. Do you know how stupid "hide from a...

    What evidence is there that Democrats would've handled anything differently with Covid?

    I doubt anything would have been different. If Trump acted sooner it would have led to a major "resist" moment and everyone knows it. He got dragged for stopping planes from China for heavens sake. Listen to the W.H.O. and CDC is all anyone could have done, and because of that nobody else would...

    News, At 52, I was accepted to Yale as a freshman. The students I met there surprised me.

    This is nice to read. As with many things it's the drama queens who get their voices magnified because it's more interesting than normal people being nice and doing normal things. It's good to pull ourselves away from media (mainstream and social) and interact with people because the majority of...

    Trump Challenge: What has Trump done right?

    I like his attitude. I like that he's a cheerleader for American and Americans. He's got good instincts about things like bringing certain industries back to the country and getting us OUT of bad deals (Paris Accord, NAFTA, possibly more in the future). I like conservative judges at all levels...
