  2. i don't think SSN would be horrible (provided the poll workers actually verified them in person at the polling station). i just want...idk...any measure to prevent fraud. frankly what we have now is amateur hour and primed for fraud. i have absolutely zero confidence in it. it's truly amazing we can send a man to the moon but the supposed nation that's most advanced and democratic can't figure out a safe frickin election system.

  3. list of guys I can see doing it from most to least confident Marcus Blaze (watching Lilledahl torch the field this week but not being able to really touch blazes legs kinda speaks volumes on just how good this kid is) Bo Bassett: my only real concern with Bo is burnout or injury I love his work ethic but waking up before 5 am during your developmental years constantly to train and it seems hes been doing it for years feels like it could come back to bite you but I may be reading too much into that I just think in a 7 minute match its gonna be hard for guys to stop him + he has 2 years of high school left) Ben Davino: I think hes lost once in 2-3 years in high school has not wrestled senior level like some of his peers but he has the last wins over blaze,forrest,knox I also think hes a career 133 which bodes well for him imo and I expect him to red shirt. Jax Forrest: This weekend was a bump in the road for Jax but im wondering if making 125.4 two weekends in a row and going through tough competition Is too much for him. Hes wrestled between 121 and 126 for like 2 years now and he has a huge frame would like to see him take time to grow like Bo did. The talent is not a question and his feel I think is just something you're born with the two more years of high school is also in his favor here. PJ duke: I wanted to see him against higher level comp and he blew me away.Probably not a real concern its just one match but he did seem tired against Webster in the second, Webster was just trying to make something happen and walked into an inside trip so I guess I have a small concern about his tank for 7 minutes but he has another year of high school so im not all too concerned Luke Lilledahl: Only thing that hurts my confidence in Luke is I think hes going right away and I believe hes a bit better at free than folk. That being said I absolutely think he could win it next year PSU if they have anything going against them is their 125 track record. Aedon Sinclair: If he goes right away for Missouri I don't think he gets it done, hes incredible but he did struggle with the physicality of the more mature guys at the LCQ so I think he needs some time to mature. Connor Mirasola: For a heavier guy this kids ability to score in different ways on his feet are absolutely unreal. Ladarion Lockett: Would like to see his handfight evolve a bit he may have issues with guys that are super positionally sound if he can't open them up. Melvin Miller: He's only a freshman in high school but this kids ability to find angles on his feet are beautiful to watch if you have not watched him wrestled Id watch his run through cadets its unreal. Hes also probably going to end up somewhere between 174-197 which given his skillset I think is a huge plus. I just think one of the other guys will do it first. Dreshaun ross: just a specimen of a human being kids like 7 feet tall and moves like a lighter guy, Unfortunately I think we may lose him to football.

  4. 16 States don't require an ID to vote. 212 electoral votes. 11 states require a non photo ID. 69 electoral votes. These states are prime for voter fraud. These states have a combined 281 electoral votes (270 required for election). The remaining 23 require a photo ID. 83% of blacks have access to smartphones. 85% of whites and Hispanics have access to smartphones. There's literally no difference for access to phones. Anybody that has access to a smartphone has the ability to get a photo ID. It would appear to be racist to say that blacks and Hispanics don't have the capacity to get an ID. Which has been the lefts argument. The left fights tooth and nail to not allow voter ID nationally, I wonder why that is.

  9. I completed my 2020 US census on my IPhone. That’s the census that’s used to distribute federal funding along with deciding how many representatives each state gets. If technology is safe enough to use for the census it seems it would be the same for voting. Not to mention how easy it was. We would also have real time data instead of waiting like we have to now.

  10. In North Carolina we voted for voter ID's and we got it. Then one activist judge somehow got it overturned. Unbelievable. I'm just not buying the integrity of our election process.

  11. why haven't we eradicated this terrorist group? they have existed for decades. if this group was launching missiles into the US(or any other country) we would have done away with them years ago. however, if isreal does the same... they are castigated for it.

  22. There are 23 states that require a photo ID according to ballotpedia: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia , Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Of those states, 10 (Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) offer a free photo voter ID. Six states (Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Texas) allow a voter without photo ID to sign an affidavit or declaration and cast a regular ballot. Ohio also allows this but the voter can only a provisional ballot. It appears that Oklahoma will accept a county elections board ID card which doesn't have a photo on it. So whilst these 23 states have voter laws that to some degree require a photo ID 8 will allow a voter to cast some kind of ballot without one and 10 will give anyone a free photo ID. I think at most six states, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, and Nebraska require a photo ID and don't have a free option.

  23. Voting is a privilege of citizenship, not to be endowed upon interlopers and stowaways, and deserves more consideration than a trip to the 7-11. Making it easier is unlikely to improve the quality. If you can’t get an id, and can’t put a little effort on one day every couple of years, voting is not important to you.

  30. People pay taxes no matter what, whether it be sales tax or other taxes, literally every single person pays some sort of tax. Paying these taxes entitles you to representation in your government and the right to vote for that representation. Remember, no taxation without representation

  31. So everyone should get reimbursed for gas (or should it be Fed auto mileage rate ~$0.60/mi, what if have subway access or Uber) and time off to drive to the polls to vote? Should execs get reimbursed at their $1,000/hr rate & McD workers at minimum wage or should we all get the same? Why shouldn't everyone have a little skin in the game? Then let's just have a national holiday to vote. Why do we need so many days for Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's, MLK, Presidents Day etc? Let just take one of those back and give all a full day to vote, isn't it more important?

  32. Those are the key words. (if it's Important to you). To some of us voting is a privilege and a duty. We take it seriously. If necessary, we will stand for hours but thank goodness we have early voting.

  34. Most all states offer at least one week of early voting. IMO If you can’t find a way to vote in a week it’s probably not that important to you. https://www.lgbtmap.org/democracy-maps/early_voting_period

  37. I believe it was because it would adversely affect the black vote. That is what they said. They keep saying that blacks cannot figure out how to get a voter ID. Isn't that racist itself. I just don't agree with their findings.

  38. I think generational talent is different than generational results. I don't remember anybody thinking Brooks was clearly a #1 guys coming into Penn State. He has obviously exceeded those expectation. In my mind, the last generational talent we had was Gable Steveson. He very early on dominated Heavies like no one I have ever seen before. His results lagged a bit until he improved his tactics and mental game.

  40. The obvious solution would be to take another page from the Olympic playbook and cut the number of weights. Currently there are 10 mens weights just make it 5 men and 5 women and kept the same format. That solves 1 and 3. If 2 is that big of an issue we could just switch the men to freestyle and solve everything.
