I don't disagree, but in 2004, Cael beat everyone and got the gold. Sazjid lost to the Korean who lost to Cael. So that says something. I am not saying Cael should be in the conversation, just saying he beat everyone that stepped on the mat with him at that Olympics. No one can take that away from him. mspart

After getting over a thousand prisoners back, the least Hamas could do is give back the few hostages they still have, both dead and alive. That's not enough for RV. Reminder to RV. Gaza was in Israel's possession until they gave it to the Palestinians during Bush's term. I expect that you complained about that situation too. They got land and almost immediately used it to stage rocket attacks and incursions. No wonder no other middle eastern country will take them in. They are crazy and ghoulish. Who wants that in their country? RV, rather than move to Canada, you should move to Gaza City and help those poor people out. mspart

The issue is that Brennan got 5 years of post seasons including this one so he should be out, right? What about Starocci? mspart

Who was the most technical FS wrestler we have had. I would say Dave Schultz. He did not have all the medals but was active for a very long time and was the 1996 olympic favorite at his weight. His technique was second to none. mspart

They were hoping to hitch a ride. mspart

They are back and that is what is important. I was concerned they would be stuck up there for a long time. I'm glad they are home safe. mspart

This is true. But the Starliner got back to earth safely, the astronauts would have been fine. That is something I never hear in the media. Starliner make it back to earth safely. Butch and Suni could have been home 9 months ago. There were some issues with a helium leak and some thrusters but it was determinedd that this should not affect safe return to earth. But NASA chose not to return the astronauts out of "an abundance of caution". That was probably the right move. But Starliner was deemed safe and ultimately was safe. We never hear that. mspart

My vote is Mark Schultz. mspart

Trip, you should let your congress person and senator know about this. I don't know anyone that would be agreeable to this when brought to their attention. mspart

1 year in there must feel a good deal longer than 1 year in a US jail. Yikes. I'm glad I'm not a criminal alien. I'd be self deporting. Which is on the rise as coincidence would have it. mspart

No way!! mspart

It seems that you should be addressing this question to NYT. They misinformed you on this stuff and now admit they were misled. You should be asking them why and who. They were the first on the band wagon to destroy anyone that disagreed with their now "wrong" news. A mea culpa like this is not sufficient to right their wrongs perpetrated on any dissenters who are now proven correct. mspart

Agreed. mspart

Wherever will she get that money? mspart

They'll be home tomorrow hopefully!! mspart

OK, it sounded like you were disputing which is why I wrote what I did. Looking up the expenditures is not easy so I just looked up what I thought you were getting on about. I disagree that it seems improbable that the money didn't go to students but to organanziations that say they are for students. USAID expenditures shows us that. Spending on green stuff that goes to Stacey Abrams shows us that. So I don't have any problem with that, I just can't say it is true or not because the data is not readily available to me. It is apparent that whatever is spend is not effective at having students be more prepared for life. Test scores are near their lowest and it has been dropping for years. If the expenditures are supposed make for better student scores, it is failing miserably. mspart

Howard Harris of Oregon St. He had the GOAT NCAA tourney pinning his way in all matches, including pinning Big Bruce. He won the Gorarrian award for that tourney. Monster. mspart

I would say they also should not get a 5th season. Might as well open up all college sports to 5, 6 , 7 or 8 seasons to participate in. mspart

She said the budget was about 280 billion. The google says: How much does the US Department of Education spend? The Department of Education spent $268 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024. This was 4.0% of the $6.8 trillion in overall federal spending. So it looks like she was very close on with the ED budget and you are not Fishy. That makes her number way more less made up than yours. Where you might have an issue is that she says less than 25% of that goes to educating students. That leaves around 200 Billion for something else. She said that leaves 220 billion, but a quick calculation of 75% of 280 billion is 210 billion. The real number at 75% is 201 billion. Again not far off like you are. Regardless, how does only 25% get to students? I think that is the better question to ask and really the most important reason the Dept exists, is to get money to help students. So if you could figure that out it would be helpful. Money to NGOs etc does not count. That is what she is complaining about. If you disagree with her, please show how she is wrong. mspart

Starocci - nobody should get 5 changes to win the national championship when there are only 4 years of actual eligibility for most everyone else. it is happening but I don't have to like it. mspart

And there you go. Truth to power. or something. mspart

That pic looks like he bit into a warhead and is shuddering. Funny pic. mspart

That is good news. mspart

He never does. He just says stuff and call anyone a stupid head for not believing him. mspart
