I do not pretend to have all of the right answers to that question, my expertise is athletics. Fact is, no one on this board has all the right answers to that question, because no one on this board has all of the necessary, and accurate information. But that's why we have a system of federal government with elected officials, officials who are responsible for holding up the letter, and the spirit, of our United States Constitution. The responsibility of us is to elect them and then hold them accountable to that document. All of that document, not just the parts we find ourselves in particular favor of. A big reason we find ourselves in the current political climate, where politicians give a higher priority to defaming and defeating the other side than they do upholding the letter and the spirit of that document, is that we the people, or at least a large enough number of, are not following through on our responsibility to hold them accountable. But instead follow along with the 'us vs them' priority of politics.

"hypocritical oath" Freudian slip?

Why are you polluting the wrestling forum with this?

Was this at an international tournament or something? Does this guy compete in masters?

I was excited for the next Tom Hanks and remember hearing the comparisons but agreed, that one didn't pan out... I love the Rock but he just isn't a great actor in my opinion but we'll see how his next couple of movies are as they look a bit more serious. Mark Wahlberg is another one that comes to mind.

What did he mean to say then? In that context it's hard to extrapolate because I don't think he was saying we should be going after pedophiles in the context of his message.

For those with access to YouTube Ben is currently on Flowrestling Radio Live. He looks and sounds GREAT.

I'm going with Shia LaBoeuf. It was kind of understood early on that he was gonna be the next Tom Hanks, which is telling cause Hanks doesn't have that much range and is generally playing an everyman type so he's pretty generic to have a crowned successor, and has a reputation as a method actor....but he's just never commanded the screen. His career survived, in terms of being a known name that has been around for decades, but i don't know why.

This seems like a very slippery slope... If people can be taken into custody without cause and rounded up in the manner, couldn't it happen with those that are not politically aligned with the administration? https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/10/01/massive-immigration-raid-on-chicago-apartment-building-leaves-residents-reeling-i-feel-defeated

Well said. I'm interested to see where he lands.

she so fancy

I see rock solid stairs being cut into the slope.

His camp said it was a word slip

The state taxpayer is directly funding state funded non-emergency care for illegal aliens. For example, California was providing coverage for 1.6 million illegal aliens per Newsome (source). ALSO the federal taxpayer is indirectly funding non-emergency care for illegal aliens in several ways. Method 1: Shell games California uses a shell game to collect federal subsidies and fund non-emergency care for illegal aliens. How? The state heavily taxes health insurance companies for each member plan The state uses the tax money to pay back the insurance company higher rates for Medicaid services. The Federal government matches a high percentage of the state funding for Medicaid services. The state uses the increased Federal funding to help pay for its state plan that covers non-emergency care for illegal aliens. John borrows $100 from Jack, and pays back $105 to Jack. Uncle Sam pays John $300 for "spending" $105. John actually spent $5... not $105... It meets the rules but is subjectively a scam... Method 2: Cost shifting The existence of an illegal alien getting health care that is not paid by that alien increase insurance premiums to citizens nationally. Method 3: Incentive Multiplier Free care incentivizes more illegal aliens to come the USA, which compounds the impact of shell games and cost shifting. ...I'm sure there is more. Administrative costs, logistic costs, care provider stress... --------- SO WHAT --------- The big beautiful bill eliminates the California shell game by restricting the provider tax strategy. It also reduces Fed Medicaid funding to states that offer state funded health coverage for illegal aliens. I had no idea California was scamming the Fed like this...

i think we should never stop attacking pedophiles

lol

What is your suggestion to fix the issue where millions of illegals walked over the boarder in that 4 year span?

Not to be argumentative, but for the sake of accurate information….Im sorry but this is just simply not accurate. As I’ve said on here many times I am 100% in favor of immigration control, while also keeping the doors open to those looking to ‘live the dream” in the greatest country in the world. That’s how the greatest country in the world was built. I am in favor of immigration the right way, but that also involves our government doing things the right way, and staying true to who we are and what we were built on. Awhile back I talked on here about being in favor of these crackdowns but have concerns about a slippery slope. It wasn’t received well by some. Since that time our military has went into more cities, and a couple days ago our president and sec of defense talked to the top leaders of the military, and spoke to them about preparing for our city streets becoming proving grounds for war. It’s seems we have been experiencing that very slippery slope I spoke to, and that’s not who we are. I would like to see immigration be held under control in a much less extreme fashion.

Couldn’t see this coming from a million miles away

Utah Valley & Cal Baptist do make more sense but Wyoming makes no sense as Wyoming was NOT one of the five Mountain West Conference teams that were invited to be a part of the new PAC (insert # here). Having their wrestling program compete in the PAC while all of their other sports continue to compete in the MWC makes ZERO sense.

Elijah Brown decommitted from Pitt. #32 on Willie's last board, #1 215 in the Country. Big loss

That's on me - I always get those two leagues mixed up; the point stays the same about the reflection on MAC wrestling. It's football decision to get football in the MW and finding a home for the rest of their sports

Baseball and most of the other sports besides football are joining the Horizon league. I'm not aware of any sports that are joining the Summit.

At the end of the season the national ranking was 1. Faith Christian 2. Bishop McCort ... 4) Wyoming Seminary. So 1st in their state was first in the country. Those three had split duals with Wyoming Seminary beating Faith Christian early in the season and losing to McCort later. Faith Christian then beat Bishop McCort to win the state dual title at the end of the season. So the picture might be a little unclear looking at duals, but there were also tournaments. McCort, Faith Christian, and Wyoming Seminary entered the same tournaments thought the year and Faith Christian won every tournament they entered. Bishop McCort outplaced Wyoming Seminary at every tournament the two of them entered. Wyoming Seminary is not in the PIAA so their end of season tournament was National Preps where they finished 3rd as a team. By the end of the season the pecking order was pretty clear with Bishop McCort #2 ahead of Wyoming Seminary and behind Faith Christian. I get the argument that McCort can't be number 1 all time because they were behind Faith Christian, but they were very close with Faith Christian who set a number of records - Most points ever at PIAAs (232.5), most PIAA champions in a season (4, tied with 8 teams), most PIAA place winners in a season (10 tied with 2004 Northampton). McCort was close with the 2nd most team points ever at PIAAs (218.5), the most PIAA champions in a season (4, tied with 8 teams), and 3rd most PIAA place winners in a season (9). 2025 Faith Christian had a big three that stacks up pretty well with all these historic teams we have been analyzing in terms of recruiting rankings. Joe Bachmann (#3 2027), Adam Waters (#7 2026), Nicholas Singer (#18 2027), Cael Weidemoyer (#57 2026), Mark Effendian (#58 2026), Gauge Botero (#68 2025), Jason Singer(#72 2026), Max Stein (#96 2025) Those rankings are from Flo who doesn't have a 2028 big board yet, but as someone else pointed out other services have Freddy Bachman #1 in the class of 2028. So last years Faith Christian could have 3 top 10s and 4 top 20s. Looking ahead to next season 3 of Faith Christian's PIAA place winners graduate whereas only 1 of Bishop McCort's is not returning, so it is possible the 2026 team wins PIAAs and the state dual title. It will be close again. The past historic teams discussed here did not always wrestle the top opponents and were not perfect. That 2005 Davison team finished 2nd at the Medina tournament where Metcalf famously beat Schlatter. The 2004 Davison team that also featured Paul Donahoe won Medina but only by ~4 team points and Medina wasn't the toughest tournament in the country that year.
