    when teaching high school at age 23, Ron DeSantis drank alcohol with students and was presumably looking to score some sex

    AGreed. It is a risky position to put yourself in given all of the incidents of improper relationships (esp. sexual) between students and teachers. I mean even if he didn't plan on doing anything, just putting himself in that position, isn't good.. leaves the door open for even a false...

    Another School shooting at a Texas elementary school

    Another school shooting today in Nashville, Tennessee. What I'm even more frustrated with is the typical all or nothing responses that we get from politicians. President Biden again calling for a ban on assault weapons (which includes handguns) and Republicans usually call for more guns (good...

    World Athletics will ban some Trans Women from competing in Women's Sports

    I believe that transgender women should be banned from competing in women's sports if or when they have an advantage. The ones that would call this discrimination usually speak in terms of social equality. Sure, in the spirit of being non-discriminatory/inclusive, we should want for trans...

    Recently, Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics (WA), stated that transgender women that have gone through male puberty would be prohibited from competing in women's sports. For those of you who don't know, the WA is an international governing body for athletic sports, covering track and...

    when teaching high school at age 23, Ron DeSantis drank alcohol with students and was presumably looking to score some sex

    I laughed reading this part. I can imagine that kid's face with his parents out of town, he throws this big party, and in comes his teacher getting wasted. I don't have the evidence to go that far. I would want to hear reports of DeSantis being creepy around girls or even engaging in sexual...

    Featured Former president Trump to be arrested on Tuesday?

    Tuesday has passed, and there's been no arrest. Not ruling out that there still could be an indictment later on. For now, it seems Trump was trying to get ahead of the story.

    Coming out as a conservative Republican

    Out of all of them, I liked this one. I didn't watch the full video but I like the way it was set up. A discussion on hot button issues being had between people with differing political points. No yelling, civil, open. It would be nice if our politicians in Washington conducted business in...

    I'm a Ben Shapiro fan, as well. You might also like Dr. Jordan Peterson. I'll skim through some of your video playlist tomorrow.

    Coming out as a conservative Republican

    Welcome to the forum, Anthony. Thanks for telling us about your journey. It was a good read! I dealt with some my own political conversion twice, and it led me away from political parties. Now I'm an independent! I look forward to reading your perspective! That would be a good idea. That...

    Does free-will exist?

    The strongest doubt I have towards determinism is active or intentional behavior. Here's how the APA defines those terms: "goal-oriented behavior in which an individual uses strategies to achieve various ends or effects." I think this is unlike anything else in the Universe, in that everything...

    Featured Former president Trump to be arrested on Tuesday?

    That's an important point to raise. I think most are expecting the FBI to raid Trump's house and drag him out in cuffs. The indictment process will just involve getting Trump before a court. Chuck Rosenberg, an attorney that has worked with FBI and DEA, gives an good explanation of this on MSNBC:

    Featured Former president Trump to be arrested on Tuesday?

    Here is the strongest Republican response that I've seen or read so far to this topic: If anyone has any good viewpoint from the Democrat side then feel free to post it as I would love to hear from both sides!

    Featured Former president Trump to be arrested on Tuesday?

    My reaction is this could turn bad if the perception is that this is a selective form of justice - a sort of weaponizing of the federal government. If Trump did wrong, did by all means, investigate and prosecute. But the standard has to be that anyone who commits a crime is investigated and...

    That's better than most. I only have one from high school. I'm also a self-taught investor if that counts for anything.
