You still didn’t answer the question as to why.

I'll tell you what. Let's go back to the Reagan era tax rates. She'd be good with that too.

Is it true AOC is actually a Reagan republican?

I've seen some great, "golf shots" today. Which is strange cause I was watching soccer... Not sure what the schedule is for the rest of the evening.

Both parties have actually shifted to the right.

See what happens in '26 and '28.

I don’t think you answered the question. Please do so. I also think more Ds become Rs. Do you recall the popular vote a few months ago ?

Let me think ... a voice of objectivity ... Musk or rv.

People switch parties. Its not complicated. You think nobody ever switches from conservative to liberal? Are you on drugs tonight?

Help me understand. In your opinion. Why Elon was liberal back in the day and a repub now?

Lmao. Elon Musk. Now, that's an objective source.

Garvin wins 10-0 in repechage.

Rutgers is loading up

Nope ... that's not what happened.

Stoddard wins 13-4.

This makes me think it is unfortunate that the term, "weight cutting" encompasses such a wide array of techniques that can be used to reduce weight. I don't have an issue with a long term weight management program where one leans out a bit and goes down a few pounds, after one is finished growing. That sounds eminently sensible for a combat sport where strength:weight is a critical aspect of success. I don't think the "black eye" is any worse for wrestling than for other sports with weight classes. I think wrestling has it less bad than MMA and boxing. Other types of cutting not so much - Semi-starvation - one guy on the team this year wrestled 116 when he could make it. A few days after the season ended he was 134. That is big % of body weight to be attempting to shed in order to compete. Dehydration - risky for a host of reasons. Beyond a pound or two I am surprised this is as common as it is. The loss of performance when trying to exert oneself at a high level while dehydrated is significant. Full hydration recovery can take 24 hours.

I would have been considered an extreme right winger back in the 80s. Not anymore, since we've gone off the deep end to the right in this once great nation.

Huh, interesting. I would have thought the detrimental performance effects of dehydrated competing would be a deterrent to cutting those last few pounds. You're absolutely right that the risk of injury (concussion particularly) is a lot higher when one is dehydrated.

Smith loses. Was up 2-1 in the last seconds. Gives up a step out and fleeing +1 caution. Then loses the challenge... Endene gets a Fall. That cat is thicc...

milley called china

Figured it out just a bit too late...

Team USA looks pretty good - not sure Garvin took the best strategy into his match.

Garvin's loss earlier is the only USA loss I've seen.

RND 3 Haines with a Fall. Lilledahl wins SEMI 10-0. Composto wins SEMI 10-0. Seems to be a sprint through the tourney...

That's what they did, why they were up to 4.5. I was just wondering what you thought about that in particular. I wasn't going to, but...when NVDA hit 153 and we'd hit more ATHs, I liquidated quite a bit. It's the first time I've ever done something like that, but I was able to get in...lower. Not the bottom, but I'm never aiming t sell at the ATH or buy the bottom, but...if I can reset my DCA...I'm...pretty happy. But I'm a pretty narrow investor. BRK.B is my energy/insurance basically ETF and then it's...all tech and has been since ~2020. NVDA mainly but just heavy in the semi space. TSM and AVGO, then META, AMZN...some that got beat to hell so I choose to not list them like Advanced Money Destroyer(but I did add a LOT to that in the 70s). But mostly, I just saw my portfolio go down, down, down...as the flames got higher...and in burned burned burned...a lot...or 'Here we go down now, here we go down There's nothing but the powers that be!' But now I'm a little more diversified and ready to liquidate again in 60 days and hopefully have nice big tax bill next year or hear about the trade deals rolling in and leave everything while we go parabolic...back to where we were on Jan 21st!
