Can We Handle Iran?

Throughout the years, the US have successfully been able to prevent various negative things from happening. But now with Iran trying to make their nuclear bomb, it has put the US and has made other countries involved and in danger. Stated in a video by Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, "President Obama has made it very clear that we are going to prevent Iran from having that type of nuclear weapon that they may have been going on track to obtain. So if they decide to go down that route they know that they will do so at their own peril." Countries are working together to try and stop this and compromise with Iran. They are certain that Iran will soon come to find that this bomb planning will be more expensive than they had hoped and will consist of many consequences if they follow through with these nuclear actions.

Six of 10 Young Republicans Support the Legalization of Marijuana

Marijuana is legal in only a few states in the US such as Colorado and Washington. Medical Marijuana is legal in California and Minnesota. Almost two-thirds of this generation republican young adults are for legalizing. Between Republicans and Democrats under the age of 34, there is a 14% gap saying that they are in favor of legalizing it. In the older age group which is 35-50, 47% of republicans were for legalizing, compared to the Democrats who had 61% for. "The survey on attitudes on marijuana legalization by political affiliation largely mirrors a survey Pew conducted a year ago concerning same-sex marriage." More than 50% of Republicans under 30 were for gays and lesbians where as 77% of Democrats were for. This issue came up before the 2016 presidential election. Two parties were in a controversy over the number of millennial who can vote.
