I looked at themat.com and that probably was not the latest. Good to hear Kyle will participate. I would not bet against him winning this thing. mspart

I don't see Kyle on any list. Will he be at the US open, or will he do the WTT? mspart

Care to give examples? mspart

IOC has said that there will not be more medals given for wrestling. Getting rid of GR would give 3 each more for FS and WFS. But I agree they would include some other form of wrestling and negate the benefits. It was a big deal for UWW to go against the IOC and offer 10 weights during off Olympic years and to off er the non olympic weights a WC of their own during an olympic year. IOC wanted to get rid of wrestling and it was saved near the last minute. So I'm not for rocking the boat at this point. I personally have nothing against GR, but it is not very unwatchable anymore. mspart

Even a day late, Happy Easter to all ya'll out there. He is risen. It is your choice to believe that or not. I, for one, choose to believe it. But I do not think less of my friends that choose not to believe this. There is only good in the gospel of Jesus Christ. It uplifts the soul of man and has the capacity to enlarge the soul. Many dark things have been done in the name of Christ that are not sustained by his teachings. His teachings are all about the ennobling of men and women. I choose to believe in Christ. I hope my actions are congruent with that. Often times they are not which offers me a chance to repent and change my ways for the better. I am a better man for it. mspart

Is this true? If so, why would this be? mspart

Laws were broken. That's why people were tried and convicted. But treason was not one of them. Maybe the whole of Bidens government messed up but I don't think so. There was no basis for prosecution treason. That is the most logical answer. If they had committed treason, they would have been charged for it. mspart

He had a successful 1 st term economically and with other aspects of being President. He's not just some guy. He's a former president of the United States. mspart

Just following your lead there. mspart

So of all the prosecutions, none were based on insurrection because of Biden? Are you kidding me? msaprt

This is not an answer. The Attorney General could have done so if he wanted. It was not up to Biden. There were insurrection charges because there was no crime of insurrection. It's too bad people wish to ignore that fact. mspart

WA is in the same place in reality. This is wrong on so many levels. We were always concerned about the nanny state, but it is here. The downstream ramifications of this are really scary, brave new world and 1984 scary. mspart

Irrational exuberance yesterday gives way to sober reflection today. mspart

https://www.reuters.com/markets/investor-bill-ackman-says-china-is-isolated-after-trump-tariff-reversal-move-2025-04-10/ Investor Bill Ackman says China is isolated after Trump tariff reversal move "Time is not China's friend as every U.S. corporation with a supply chain based in China is seeking to move it to countries that are likely to make favorable tariff deals with the United States," Ackman said in a post on X. mspart

Which one? mspart

Well at least you two did not give the interest free money. Good on you. mspart

Mam looks happy, Val does not. mspart

Oh yeah, sure thing! I'll be thinking of everyone!! mspart

Great day, this was done some days ago. I just need to look it over and send it in. Also got my 3 youngest kids' taxes in. They really should do it themselves but maybe next year. I miscalculated and am getting money back! mspart

When Ronnie Van Zant introduced their new guitar player Steve Gaines, he said "Watch out I'm gonna sick an Okie on you". Steve was from the great state of Okie!! mspart

If China keeps tariffs where they are across the board and if these countries can get a better tariff situation with the US, that will effectively isolate China. Who would want to trade with them? Seems fairly apparent. mspart

Nice avator PJ! Perhaps the spectacle was to send a message to China that they are being isolated. I don't know. But this was a yuge and bigly spectacle, that's for sure. mspart

Yeah, that's why 75 countries are begging to negotiate, because Trump has zero credibility. Do you realize what you are saying? I don't think so. He is getting what he stated he wanted on the campaign trail. It will be good news for the US. Sorry you are not thinking of that. But that's ok. Most middle of the road guys like you hate America. No wait! You are 100% a leftist whackadoo winger. That is the scientific term by the way. mspart

Master stroke or buffoonery? 75 countries have asked for negotiations. So tariffs come off. 75 countries coming to the table is really good news. Isn't that what Trump said in the first place was what he wanted? Will the cut in tariffs happen for 90 days? I don't know. But the signal is that Trump will negotiate to drive tariffs down on all sides. mspart
