All Activity

To be fair, the answer to your questions above is....no, of course not. However, there are many additional things as it relates to our President that do not relate to 'everyone'. In fact, relate to our President and our President only. Additional things like...quote in reference to his good friend who is a proven pedophile: "He's a really good guy, and I hear he likes women, particularly on the younger side"; things like, quote in reference to his other good friend who is a proven pedophile regarding her being in prison: "I wish her well, I really wish her well, I wish everyone well" (when the fact he does not come even close to wishing everyone well cannot be debated); there are things like his interview "Will you release UFO files?" = (immediate) "yes"...."will you release JFK files" = (immediate) "yes"....."Will you release Epstein files" = (pause) 'Uh, yes, well, maybe not so much"; additional things like "sitting on my desk waiting to be reviewed", then later acknowledging to our President his name is in the files several times, then having a large number of officials ear mark any time his name is in the files; additional things like..the #2 in the DOJ going to interview the convicted pedophile, a very rare move on its own accord, then immediately after said interview (that no one was allowed to be privy to) moving the convicted pedophile to a level of security prison that no convicted pedophiles get sent to....with the added fact that said DOJ#2 was the President's personal criminal defense attorney before receiving that post; there's also the additional switch in tone from 'we are going to get to the bottom of this and get it all out', to it's 'all a hoax brought on by the other party', and 'I don't see why people are even interested in it', and so on... Now, does any of this prove beyond a reasonable doubt our President is or has been in fact engaged in these activities..no it does not. And even if there was only one of the above present, there may be a case of people reaching too much. But when there is that much specific smoke (and there is more smoke, that's just a short off the top of my head list) around one particular person, it is very justified to be suspicious and raise questions. And even more so, if you keep all of the above smoke but instead the name Biden or Obama were attached to them, the same people who are constantly trying to deflect, defend, and ignore that suspicion and questions would be jumping up and down all day every day. Hardly debatable. It's very easy to say release the files no matter who is in them, which admittingly everyone in here is saying, but while also many doing all they can to deflect and defend all of the smoke around this one particular person.

Unconscionable. mspart

That is an amazing stat. Wow! mspart

Fair. I just want the annual freestyle style rule changes being pushed on folkstyle to stop. That Along with the narrative that the world stage is more important to justify said stylistic changes. some even go so far as say just dump folkstyle altogether. the narrative that we’re not competitive enough on the world stage is also nonsense imo. Somehow our u20 team just dominated to world first place …. All while pesky folkstyle didn’t somehow ruin them! Folkstyle is a far more entertaining product. Let’s keep it that way.

“To date, more than 20 Nobel Prize winners have had papers retracted” The politicization of the university. Agenda and narrative driven "education". Add in the natural tendency of left-leaning people to the academic life vs. doing and accomplishing real things. Mix in government grants that often have a specific goal/outcome in mind when the studies are funded. Is anyone surprised that "science" and "scientists" are losing their credibility? 20+ Nobel Laureates' papers retracted?!? Amazing. And, sadly, not so amazing. It is a bit of a long read. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/08/13/fraud_hunters_sniffing_out_bogus_science_1128482.html?mc_cid=3f20ec5f19&mc_eid=ac81c0c239

Fantastic job! 8 medals and 5 Champs. Amazing. Hopefully the other squads have great performances as well

Well if you are right we may be in for a treat

For real. Seems like an intentionally low number to try to eliminate pay-to-play arrangements.

TOP 10 FS team scores from the UWW site: #1 USA 185 #2 Kazakhstan 112 #3 Iran 111 #4 Azerbaijan 71 #5 Georgia 66 #6 India 60 #7 Japan 57 #8 Turkiye (I always spell that wrong now!) 46 #9 Moldova 44 #10 Armenia 35 D3

Because that doesn't get Mr. Pastry the clicks.

I cry tears of laughter over you and your threads that’s for sure. I’ll keep helping you out even though you don’t appreciate it.

And again, could have easily been SIX if Lilledahl opted to try U20.

You want the attention and cry when you don't get it like Kid Rock and Trump.

For real? I haven't quite caught up with what the new rules actually do.

International freestyle is a mess. I've seen junior high sports that are better organized and better attended. It's embarrassing anytime I try to share it with a non-fan and annoying when I try to watch anything. This is where Flo has actually been helpful with being able to find replays. Though that takes someone to go through all the footage and upload/code each match separately which they don't always do but I'm grateful when they do!

Quite a few schools* were represented at this championship by kids representing other countries. It's really great to see "US" kids get a shot. Ayoub probably isn't in the top 5 of the US age group ladder but got his chance and took advantage with a medal. *not Iowa though.

I missed that result... he beat Saitiev 8-6 Impressive. D3
