Not debating this part again. oldie but a goodie

Can someone explain what was said in Iran's media regarding Amouzad's dad/family that was taken as if they were making fun of them?

Friendly reminder to invest in the S&P500 for a 10% gain over the long term. And to trust yourself to make investment decisions if you are decent with analyzing data and futures. 2025 401K - Up 57% Current Up 200% in SOFI even with averaging up to $9.84. Adjusted price target to $45 for 2026. High growth, good execution, risk vs reward. Up 184% in ATT thanks to dividends. Sold off 60%. Currently at price target and holding as a cash equivalent for the dividend. Will sell off to buy something else eventually. Up 25% in United Health Flat in UPS Bag holder in COTY, down 50% of investment and down 67% from peak paper profit. Other Wins - ASML, BABA, LUV, AAP. No losses yet. Other flat - PYPL Sold too soon - ASML, BABA 2025 Personal - Up 75% SOFI Calls - Up 429% COTY Calls - Down 74% Other Shares - Up 69% Looking forward Will hold SOFI minimally through Summer 2026. It is a growth stock that will continue killing it through minimally 2028. Will continue bag holding COTY rather than selling out. I keep learning the lesson that the price can continue going down... while believe it will minimally return to $6 at this point (potential buyout) in 2026 and higher a few years out. I like PYPL if they monetize venmo. I'm taking a flyer on UPS because it is a good company with a beaten down price. I don't like them in 10 years but do for the next 18 monhts for a temporary price recovery. I am bullish on United Health returning to $400 in the next six months and much more over the next four years (return to $600+) I like Tesla over five years but think they are currently priced too high. I like the long term future of quantum computing. Bearish on western union based on their current revenue stream future. 2024 401K - Up 37% Wins in DIS, PRDO, SOFI, ATT (T), WU SOFI and ATT (T) made up for the losses Losses in AMST, COTY, CLOV, GLBS, HPP, MSOS, RGS, SATS Most were losses from previous years that I finally sold out of. Sold too soon - SATS (Sold at $13, went to $70+) Since switching 401K from indexes to self-controlled brokerage 2020: 53.5% vs SPY 16.3% 2021: 56.2% vs SPY 26.9% 2022: -20.4% vs SPY -19.4% 2023: 22.0% vs SPY 24.2% 2024: 37.8% vs SPY 26.6% 2025: 56.8% as of Sept 19, 2025 vs SPY 13.3% Moved balance from peanuts to almonds.

Anyone wanna chime in on Danial Sohrabi's match against Ebrahim Ganeh of France? Was the ending justified... also the other wrestler, Vafa, lost to Japanese wrestler 5-5... I did not watch it... any comments on that one please

So what did Kimmel lie about?

Folks can't STFU...

Cable networks do not use the public spectrum in the same way; distribution is over private cable/satellite infrastructure. So they don’t have the same kind of spectrum license obligations.

Per Trump. He should arrest the head of Antifa and its top officers. Storm their headquarters and seize their assets. Agreed?

why does almost every topic on here turn into a

What was the kimmel lie btw?

I'm against double standards and frivolous lawsuits, particularly for federal govt and president. It's egregious and obvious what's happening right now. Blatant attack on free speech.

I agree the best women in the country right now are really good. I agree the training at the top is as elite as it gets and that they function inside of the same elite system as the men. But I think you are massively underestimating the impact of numbers in a sport. The idea that if Helen Maroulis didn't wrestle we would have just created a different Helen Maroulis from the same opportunities is a strange take. Participation massively matters. The best wrestlers are outliers far more than they are products of the system. Far fewer competitors means far fewer outliers. And outside the USA the numbers are far smaller. If we insist on having GOAT conversations, the fact that JB was best of a far larger field matters. The fact that there are 10 men's weight classes across 150 lbs and 10 women's weight classes across 60 lbs matters. JB has to be the best from 65 KG to 86 KG. Helen has to be the best from 53 KG to 62 KG. If the women spread the weights out to 100 KG and kept 10 weight classes then her job would get much harder. instead of being best from 53-62 she'd have to be best across a far bigger weight range. More of the best women would be funneled into the same weight class. I coached a 190 lb state champion HS girl this year and the UWW says she doesn't exist. Instead they make 10 tiny weight classes for smaller women. Smaller weight ranges and far fewer participants make a big difference. Fewer countries committing resources to the sport make a big difference. If we are going to insist on a GOAT discussion across genders for some reason, these things matter. Just like nobody is bringing up Rex Peery in the NCAA GOAT debate for winning 3 titles in 3 tries for Oklahoma A&M in the 1930s when there were far fewer schools and competitors. Helen Maroulis is incredible but I don't put her accomplishments near the 10 most accomplished US wrestlers. I wouldn't put a men's gymnast with a big medal total near the top of US Gymnasts for the same reason. They get trained in the same infrastructure as the women, but there are far fewer participants.

I thought you were all for accountability.

There is a standard to the lies that violate the policy.

They do. Cable operators need FCC licenses too.

No, but trumptard can go after newe networks in other ways. Just one example : He's simply sued several entities. Frivolous, but still costs them a lot of money. He's also weaponized the fbi so will use them if anyway possible. Definitely "investigating" any potential way to go after any liberal entities he can.

Does the fcc have jurisdiction over cable news or not?

ALL media is digital or cable now. Its not the 1980s anymore.

I look forward to the government threatening Fox News considering they've admitted in a court of law that they knowingly lied to viewers and have explicitly argued that they aren't a strictly a "news" organization - which would exclude them from the protections the FCC chair is specifically citing to go after The View.

Off the “air.” I suspect 90% of wingers don’t understand the difference.

The fox you don’t like is cable boss …. Does cable live by the same rules ?

Fox would have been off the air a couple decades ago if it went both ways.

The agreement with using public air waves states truth is mandatory. Straight up lies are a violation. There is no criminal penalties so this is not an attack on free speech, it is a violation of the broadcasting agreement.

@JimmySpeaks is this what the "free market" looks like?

I wonder if he wishes that now, too. I think with his longevity and dynamism, he could have been a rare Greco star--but the results have always been just outside his grasp.
