Every single person alive that said Musk did a Nazi salute is the reason we have warning labels on everything.

Or the US government wants to slow/stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Join me in my engineering love for this autistic analysis.

Yes BS detector on that headline. I couldn't vet it when the story broke. I assume condoms are part of and not the entire package of the funding. However it is documented that the USAID spent $60M in contraceptives and condoms globally, with 89% of funds directed to Africa, 9% Asia and 2% to Latin America. As a U.S. Government agency, USAID receives its funding from Congress. https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/2024-09/C-and-C-FY2023.pdf And the ridiculous government spending is reality... its sad we have to consider this might be true. This is the government that spent $28 million on licensing fees for a lush green camouflage pattern for the Afghan National Army uniforms. (a desert place!) $2M to create holograms of dead comedians... $3M for shrimp to run on a treadmill... $5M on how to ride a bike...

She was already agitated before her questioning began. Is it too much to ask that the Senators, the most august quorum of legislators in the world, act like it? Probing questions are fine. Screeching is very unprofessional. Same with gotcha questions. Just asking for them to be serious. mspart

What you’re missing here is a little known fact. She reads this board and is afraid, as an Indian, she will be deported by the crazy crazy ice peoples or dr phill.

They are absolutely despicable. Expect the same for Tulsi and Kash.

I'm responding to this. I'm not attempting to shift anyone's conversation or narrative with my last comment. I don't want to hear people deflect from the context of criminal illegal entry with callouts to the difference between a visa overstay and illegal entry. I'm satisfied with the transparency on deporting illegal aliens. I like how the government is communicating their priority and progress. First: Violent Criminals and Threats to National Security Second: Recently Arrived Illegal Crossers Third: Visa Overstays and Other Immigration Violators With collateral enforcement across for violators encountered. ---- I 100% support legal immigration and streamlining it. If I'm king and you are already in the country illegally, your current immigration request is auto declined. Go to the backend of the legal request line, and remain outside of the USA while you do. I know there are exceptions to this... grey areas... but its largely black and white and is effectively being addressed in broad strokes.

Mikey Caliendo has entered the building

In a shocking turn of events, this appears to be entirely untrue and was offered without any evidence.

The guy who beat Dave in the NCAA finals, Greg Wojchiechowski, is being induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame this year.

Stole this reference from FRL.

wrestles with hating millionaires and being one every day

Penn State is not a state school and I might not be religious myself but I don't see any harm in what Cael is doing in terms of connecting with his wrestlers through "faith" even if it seems foreign to me

It's a hard read, man. McCarthy thought punctuation was optional, plus he uses words that were pretty obscure even a hundred years ago sometimes! Great book, but honestly I can't recommend it unless you have a serious commitment to it. It's literally hard to read. But Judge Holden's monologues were all legendary.

I've noticed nearly everybody is picking Ayala, including myself. I wouldn't actually be surprised if Davis won. Have to figure Cael has been working on that one. Brands are good with little guys though.

Undefeated. Carl's BDE is off the charts.

I agree...those with TDS are going to be miserable!

I miss @BerniePragle. He was my original ride or die.

Athletes competing in both football and wrestling used to be common. I think it fell by the wayside in the mid-1970s; Iowa (I think just before Gable took over as HC) allowed Greg Stevens (NCAA 2nd) and John Bowlsby (3rd) to play football in 1975 and both were injured and missed the 1975-76 season. Wrestling coaches took notice.

Common sense management. Halt the spending and what's truly critical rapidly comes to the top. So much waste is stopped. Mistakes will be made from delays but its a super effective strategy in business and personal life.

you guys must be bored. why are we even talking about psu. they're not even that good.

If D'Emilio wrestled 45 fewer matches he coulda been the next undefeated 4 timer. Let that be a lesson to the kids out there.

But they have always said they base it on “total resume,” and that the resume is constantly changing as the season goes on. That’s exactly what happened last year with Jack Maida when he dropped like 10 spots or something without wrestling, because guys he had beaten took a bunch of losses (which I agreed with). So pretty much same situation here. I think this was an oversight and they will correct it (as long as Block doesn’t beat Beau Bartlett).

I don't see a valid defense of Block being ranked, either.

I was gonna try to give them some benefit of the doubt and say “maybe the guys below him have no resume either.” But it didn’t take long to prove that theory wrong. The guy one spot below him - Dylan Cedeno of UVA - is 7-0 with wins over #20 (Scott), #28 (Hanna), and #30 (Miranda). Zero reason for Block to be above him. They have to be giving him credit for Rhodes’ win over Tagg, but even that when combined with the losses shouldn’t put him above Cedeno. The next guy, Jayden Scott of UNC, has wins over #13 (Schwartz) and #26 (Treanor), and has only lost to guys in the top 20. You got something against the ACC, @Jon_Kozak ?

I don't know how many wrestlers in general will have 100 wins moving forward. We have guys with 5 years of eligibility that are missing or barely hitting 100 wins.

Yes. Trump should not be on Mount Rushmore. I can agree with that.

Dave Joyner. 1971 NCAA Hwt runner-up and consensus football AA. Was also PSU Athletic Director as well as orthopedic surgeon.

Didn’t one of the Nevills play football while wrestling at PSU?

You sure we want @BIGTENFANBOY back?

You're being delusional. Let me repeat. Cartels are business enterprises. They have one goal, "make money." Wars are expensive. They do not have the funds or the backing to run a military campaign. Within in hours the US would strike their production sites leading to pure chaos within their structure. They would be financially bled out.

From what I can tell, the 300K number comes from an Inspector General Report in 2024. It appears, to me, that what happened was a lot of unaccompanied minors were released to sponsors in the US without a scheduled court date. So they are living in the US but are not working their way through any kind of process to either become a permanent resident or be deported. YMMV on how much difference you see between "missing" and "unmonitored" in this context. "Located" also seems pretty ambiguous. I can't find much on this beyond the TV hit that Faulkner did stating Tom Homan told her as much. How are they defining it? Based on how I interpret the IG report, "located" could mean we sent a notice to appear to the address given when they were released. It could be something more than that. It is good these kids are being located and make their way through the system. Hopefully there are other reforms to improve communication between DHS and HHS to prevent the ball dropping like this in the future. Here is the PDF IG report: https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2024-08/OIG-24-46-Aug24.pdf

I kept waiting for some sort of "happy ending" and that surely did not come

Good post. For whatever reason, posters here enjoy pretending they can foresee the future - which they obviously can't. Give it a few weeks, and it'll all shake out. We'll all get there at exactly the same time.

It was the year of our lord 2021 and no 197 had separated from the pack to lead the tribe to the promised land. The false prophet known as Buchanan was the favorite going into the season against the babe swaddled in orange and black freshman cloth. But lo he was defeated many times for the babe fired on all pistols and brought forth a six hunnid sixty five pound deadlift baby. And now the prophecy is doomed to repeat itself for 197 is the forbidden wasteland of unrecognized heavyweight talent.

$400B Slash to Defense budget, with $250B granted with detailed expense report, leaving $150B cut objective $200B: Reduce Fraud $150B: MAHA to increase health through diet and exercise, thus cutting medicare and medicaid expense $10B++: flipping social security to S&P500 and using access funds to pay down debt, reducing interest payments $20B: Fossil Fuel Subsidies $100B: Corporate Subsidies $80B: Cut department of education ~$120B+ potentially through cuts to Energy, Housing, Commerce, Interior ( I voted for Ron Paul before! ) Review additional subsidies... over a $1 trillion to review bringing back to the state level Some sort of hair cut across the board (with exception). Like 20% hair cut to achieve objectives. Something based on results to increase or decrease the allocations for the current and future years. Show me where the money went, show me what it accomplished, fully auditable... There is a reason this will take manpower to go through the risks and mitigations...

Okay, I submit to you... Olympic 57Kg FS Gold medalist Rei Higuchi: ... and actor Linda Hunt(aka Hattie in NCIS Los Angeles) Scary good likeness, no? D3

you're allowed to talk about Jesus just like you're allowed to talk about the weather...or anything, for that matter. here' my two cents... a lot of wrestlers - particularly good ones, particularly on good teams that have a proven track record - subscribe to religion or a 'religious way' not because of the allegories or stories, but because wrestling is tough both mentally and physically and in pursuit of being the best you can be, making the right decisions is crucial. i.e. - you want to be good, do the right things. and it works. or at least doesn't hurt. just a theory.

Ruth quietly and routinely prayed to the Porcelain God on weekend evenings until he met his maker. It was a revival convention held in the parking lot of a local fine dining restaurant and when they found him in a glassy eyed trance repeating himself in ancient tongues "Yo quiero Taco Bell. Live Más Nittany Lions"
