    The Constitution is the briefest and most enduring framework of ordered liberty in human history. Its durability lies not merely in the parchment but in the will of a people to respect the boundaries it draws. The Framers understood that no words, however brilliant, could restrain the restless appetite for power unless sustained by a culture of self-government and law. As Roger Kimball observes in this essay, that culture is now breaking down. The Constitution itself is being weaponized, its provisions twisted into instruments of partisan revenge. Such selective enforcement is not a neutral lapse but a central feature of our cold civil war — a struggle between those who seek to preserve the constitutional order and those who would replace it with raw power. Whether the Constitution remains a marvel of liberty or dissolves into mere parchment depends on which side prevails. https://tomklingenstein.com/does-the-constitution-still-matter/

    What does that have to do with the clip? Nice try though...

    I think that if he wants that continued success, he needs to go up in weight. 65 KG is not an old man's weight, nor will it ever be. Also, add in that there have been persistent rumors that he is not long for 65 KG for years, and that also adds in that he will be outpaced by father time sooner rather than later. Yazdani has 10 medals, w/ four being Golds. He is one person away from having eight Golds. Amouzad would have to medal the next seven years to catch up on the medal count at the same age - no down years, and that is if Yazdani doesn't wrestle/medal ever again.

    Another hypothetical: If we had to trade a bronze medal hosing, but it brings us an unexpected gold would you make that trade? Because I'm that's how I have relegated myself to feeling about Jax's stolen bronze in return for for a Taz upset + No Sadulaev = Snyder gold

    Is this claim specific to political violence or violence in general?
  7. Bigbrog
    YES!
  8. Bigbrog
    What's not a good look is someone getting assassinated for expressing free speech!

    War sucks.

    It's quite sickening to read some of you arguing nuance and minutia as some sort of attempt to downplay that a person was assassinated for having an opinion. And even worse, assassinated for inviting people with different opinions as himself to express those opinions and engage in civil debate. Do people on here not agree that civil debate is good? Do you not agree that if people stop talking that is when the violence starts?? Add on top of that the media is playing this narrative game of downplaying who the shooter is and try and soften what actually happened. One example is the ABC report claiming that the text messages back and forth were "very touching"...like seriously WTF!?!?! The guy is texting about killing someone and you got from that that the exchange was "very touching"??? Anyway, this is the same crap some of you are trying to pull and it is and continues to demonstrate what despicable and horrible people you really are.

    To respond, I will ask you a question as well as provide some context for that question. Question: Is it possible the recruits are coming because of the program built? Context: prior to the current coach, Penn State had 1 team title (1953), 23 National Champions, and through all of history four olympians with one medal (1924 bronze) Since 2011 those numbers are 11 team titles, 36 individual champions and four olympians with a gold and a bronze, even though there are only six weights. To answer your question, he would do better than clarion is doing right now, and with a little bit of time be doing much much better than they are now.

    Why are there typos ? Do you agree that may happen to him?

    There’s that deterrence thing.

    Guys, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Rahman’s overall chances of becoming the greatest Iranian wrestler of all time. Of course, winning Olympic gold is a must, but considering he’s only 23, he could realistically compete into his early 30s. If he manages to rack up more World Championship golds and secure that Olympic gold, where would you rank him among Iran’s all-time greats?
  16. Shahin
    Other than the USA, Iran, Japan, and Russia—nations that continue to develop and showcase their own top wrestlers—many other so-called “powerhouse” countries lean heavily on imported talent. A big share of these recruits come from Russia itself, with places like Bahrain fielding Russian wrestlers under their flag. This trend not only props up the results of those countries but also dilutes Russia’s own strength on the international stage. On top of that, the absence of Abdulrashid Sadulaev, one of Russia’s biggest stars, further hurt their chances of placing higher in the overall team rankings. Taken together, Russia’s performance looked subpar compared to its potential, largely because so many of its athletes were wearing different colors. Do you agree?

    It's easy to have fun when you have the #1 recruit at every weight. How would he do at Clarion roster with the fun?

    Nwach lost 5-2.

    To be clear, I’m not a Penn State fan. I believe Cael is a win at all costs guy just as much as Brands, Taylor, and just about every D1 coach. I don’t think Cael is on some moral high ground that he won’t do what it takes to win. But I think you have to respect that he’s not promoting that with his athletes. They are already ultra competitive. He’s getting them to buy into down playing the importance of winning to help them relax, perform better, and in turn, the winning comes.

    Hoagie!
