Trump is on one tonight in his town hall interview
jross replied to VakAttack's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
This 'second time' isn't the win you may think it is. And neither was the first time. "I want to close the border and drill, drill, drill." That says executive orders to me. Here are some of Trump's executive orders with border or energy in the title. Biden revoked them all. You can expect Trump to put back something similar. Border https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/30/2017-02095/border-security-and-immigration-enforcement-improvements (Biden revoked) Energy https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/03/31/2017-06576/promoting-energy-independence-and-economic-growth (Biden revoked) https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/03/2017-09087/implementing-an-america-first-offshore-energy-strategy https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/04/15/2019-07656/promoting-energy-infrastructure-and-economic-growth -
Turley was my practice partner in the third grade! /kidding; don't know/follow him You are likely following the document stories and law closer than I am. For the classified documents that Biden held and were found in *multiple locations, how is it determined if he 'mishandled' them and whether he should be prosecuted? *There are several sources claiming this.

@ThreePointTakedown ...didn't stop them the first time they voted for him. I could not get over his character and did not vote for him in 2016. After witnessing everything since 2016 and given Biden/Trump choice for 2024, Trump is the only choice for me. @ThreePointTakedown ...not really Yes, really. @ThreePointTakedown ...categorically wrong Statistic probability with a margin of error speaks to me. @ThreePointTakedown ...for some reason this is true. why do you think that is? Outside of the Covid 9 response, my well-being was the best I can recall and I was proud of my country. @ThreePointTakedown ...what point are you trying to make? How does the three branches of the US government allow for a dictator? What do you think about how Trump was called a dictator for his executive orders in 2016 in comparison to those made by Biden in 2020? Are they both dictators? @ThreePointTakedown ...what, in your opinion, needs to be drained, as of now? The swamp is the people with entrenched interests, bureaucracy, and corruption. The swamp smells like folks... serving three or more terms that take money from lobbyists and perform insider trades while voting to increase spending without having first approved a budget that bailout companies as if they are too big to fail and insert pork into bills while voting directly down party lines rather than what they believe that do not support election holidays and secure elections who refuse to perform audits and refuse to hold government organizations accountable and don't act in ways that improve the well-being of its citizens

The public believes there is insider trading. The article says there is smoke. Insider and several other news organizations have identified 78 members of Congress who've recently failed to properly report their financial trades as mandated by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, also known as the STOCK Act. Is anyone aware of tens of investigations into insider trading... starting with the lady of whom the PELOSI Act is named?

Clinton, Pence, Biden, and others had document issues and no action occurred. I understand that classified information is a serious matter, but I trust Clinton, Pence, Biden, and Trump with it. Going after Trump is just as large a waste of time as going after Biden. https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/4254963-new-evidence-may-destroy-bidens-defense-in-his-classified-documents-case/ Insider Trading, yet nobody is seriously investigated and held accountable. https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-senate-house-trading-2021-9#sen-dianne-feinstein-a-democrat-from-california-1 | Great Name. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-announces-pelosi-act-reintroduction-bill-ban-lawmakers-trading-stocks

Why are illegal aliens allowed to flood into the United States? --- I've thought about the open borders as a long-term Democratic power play. In 20 years, immigrant children with birthright citizenship will vote Democrat... and the illegal elders will gain citizenship over time. The recent immigration flood is not primarily about asylum. What other reasons might there be a flood of immigrants to the USA and elsewhere? --- I couldn't fathom it might be destabilizing the country to reduce republicanism, support for the US Constitution concerning liberty and justice, etc... Consider my mind blown by coincidences! There is a 'fictional' blueprint for one world government that imposes strict control over all aspects of society. This control includes limitations on population size, restrictions on individual freedoms, the abolition of family life, control of information, and the concentration of wealth and power. Digital currency, engineered wars, state-raised children, US, flooded with illegal aliens for destabilization purposes, guns taken away, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases, etc. How many actions in the extract have or are occurring in the USA or elsewhere? See pages 103 through 107 of this book on CIA gov for the extract.

I could not believe this document on Population Control measures was real but it is. How many proposed measures have been enacted since 1969? See more at https://twitter.com/DiedSuddenly_/status/1731425646184738924

It isn't that people think Trump is high character and innocent of all charges. There is inconsistency in who is charged and for what. Most US citizens disbelieve that Biden received 81M legit votes. Of course the political hunt for Trump has only increased the people's support for him. Remember they said Trump would be a dictator in 2016? Drain the swamp 2024.

Getting Gable's last name correct matters, but there is a reason for this common oversight. According to namecensus.com, 'Stevenson' is the 432nd most popular surname, 'Steveson' is the 19,416th, 'Crookham' is the 66,371st, and 'Crooham' doesn't appear to be a listed surname. I angered an old boss so many times for spelling his name Jared rather than Jarad. That doggone spell checker and crazy parents trying to be unique.

Did anyone besides Nic Bouzakis wrestle eight matches? What is the highest number of college matches wrestled by a single athlete in 24 hours? I am aware of ten matches in 24 hours for a high schooler this weekend.
-
No dog in the fight. It seems weird, but Carr arguably wrestled the better match and lost. I don't have an opinion on whether a TD should be increased to 3 points to match the TD. This has me wondering... If freestyle largely awards points based on scoring difficulty, what is the reasoning for considering a TD as more difficult than a reversal? Is this reasoning why the TD is now worth more than the reversal in Folkstyle?

Does the parent angle nix that OP is also a coach that coaches against the opposing coaches?

X promotes information through recommendations, popular content, and people I follow. Some of the discussions about current events captures my attention. I research the underlying sources to generate my understanding when anything more than 'just the facts' is shared. Tucker is an example of someone who brings issues to light that should be validated... Robert Reich is another... Sometimes this involves reviewing MSM. Red flags go up anytime words of tyranny are used. 1440 type news is https://twitter.com/Join1440.

People don't understand sarcasm. A long-form podcast between your second cousin Theo and Roseanne Barr is available on X. I listened for an hour, and Roseanne says that the holocaust is fake and that it needs to be true today for 6M Jews. I recognized it as sarcasm based on the discussion's larger context and from awareness with Roseanne. One signal immediately before is that the 'Always a Socialist' is talking about people preferring the real bullshit and 'the truth' and the real truth is that Biden got 81M votes by winning 36 counties. It isn't rigged... its a fact that 36 counties can give you 81M votes. Don't you dare speak differently, or you will be deplatformed... And nobody died in the Holocaust either... that's the truth. It should happen, 6M Jews should die now because they cause all the problems in the world... This podcast was removed from YouTube for hate speech but is available on X. Guess what was all over the media? Articles like this call Roseanne out for antisemitism. My takeaways Mainstream News is propaganda. I missed the smear since I stopped following the mainstream news. Understanding context is hard Theo is interesting X support of free speech is good Best quote from the podcast Comics are the last free speech art form. As long as we are performing, things aint as bad as they could be. A smaller blurb of context for the clip is here. It's scary that I listened to the long podcast by chance, recognized the smear opportunity while listening, and confirmed it was a smear job in the news.

Will X go bankrupt over Musk's careless wording that sabotages advertising revenue? Do you respect Musk for expressing his own opinions in tweets that you don't agree with talking about free speech being more important than profit actually losing money from advertisers rather than moderating content in ways that activists demand suing Media Matters for their underhanded activist behavior
-
Thanks for the direct responses. See mine inline.

Excellent point. I agree. Disney(s) can reframe "This isn't blackmail, it is conditional advertising." X can reframe it as "Okay... this isn't blackmail; it is coercive negotiation and pressure tactics to direct our policies on free speech. Go ***duck** yourself!"

I'm sorry Rasta. There are many different ways to handle this, and I'm scratching the surface with commentary below. Actions of cancel culture Spread the word about the coaches on wrestling forums, school groups, and more. Get people to complain, write letters, and call the school. Threaten a lawsuit if the school doesn't do something, and involve the media if needed. Important!-> Do anything to ensure consequences without first talking to your son, his coach, and the opposing coach. Actions of Freedom of Choice Think about your role as a parent (protect but don't baby) and a coach (see something, say something). Talk to your son and then decide if further action is needed. "How was the match? How did it feel? What do you think about how your teammates, coaches, competitors, and fans communicate during matches?" If he doesn't call it out on his own, maybe he isn't aware... perhaps you can prevent creating an issue that he wasn't aware of. If your son is upset, discuss this as a growth opportunity. He can't control others from choosing to be a jerk, but he has control over his attitude and response. Frame it as an opportunity to toughen up. Ask him how he will respond: Will he let it slide, quit, or use it as motivation? Talk to him about his responsibility to stick up for himself. Suggest he inform and request his coach to share feedback with the opposing coach. If you decide to step in, then consider Leverage your relationship with the opposing head coach, talk privately to gather intent, and provide feedback sooner than later. "In that situation where you felt the 150lb match was a waste of time, you said something demeaning out loud, and it had <this> impact. What was your intention?" Communicate concerns with your son's coach to collaborate on actions or inform him about your previous actions. Some people will try to address concerns broadly at a coaches meeting or in an email, keeping it anonymous, and nothing could be a bigger waste of time! Crucial conversations are necessary to provide direct feedback and maintain the relationships. If the opposing behavior repeats after being directly addressed, consider additional rational action... without being a jerk.

That Carr v. Ramirez match is the showcase example for the 3pt reversal to match the 3pt takedown.
