Bill Clinton says this is true. mspart

You were emphatic that it was not true. How do you know? Or are you just suspicious it is not true? If you know, please share your info. mspart

Should we forget Lee Kemp, Mark Schultz, Kevin Jackson, and Big Bruce? They did it when there was no financial advantage to do so. They did it definitely for the love. That has to count for something I would think. Win ranks them thusly for world championships: https://www.win-magazine.com/2023/09/11/26123/ 6 – Jordan Burroughs (74 kg 2011, 74 kg 2013, 74 kg 2015, 74 kg 2017, 79 kg 2021, 79 kg 2022), plus one Olympic Gold (74 kg 2012) 4 – John Smith (62 kg 1987, 62 kg 1989, 62 kg 1989, 62 kg 1990), plus two Olympic Golds (62 kg 1988 62 kg 1992) 4 – Kyle Dake (79 kg 2018, 79 kg 2019, 74 kg 2021, 74 kg 2022) 3 – Lee Kemp (74 kg 1978, 74 kg 1979, 74 kg 1982) 3 – Bruce Baumgartner (130 kg 1986, 130 kg 1993, 130 kg 1995), plus two Olympic Golds (+100 kg, 1984, 130 kg) 3 – Kyle Snyder (97 kg, 2015, 97 kg 2017, 97 kg 2022), plus one Olympic Gold (97 kg 2016) 2 – David Taylor (86 kg 2018, 86 kg 2022), plus one Olympic Gold (86 kg 2020) 2 – Kevin Jackson (82 kg 1991, 82 kg 1995), plus one Olympic Gold (82 kg 1992) 2 – Mark Schultz (82 kg 1985, 82 kg 1987), plus one Olympic Gold (82 kg 1984) 2 – Terry Brands (57 kg 1993, 57 kg 1995) 2 – J’den Cox (92 kg 2018, 92 kg 2019) 1 – Dan Gable (68 kg 1971), plus one Olympic Gold (68k 1972) 1 – Wayne Wells (74 kg 1970), plus one Olympic Gold (74 kg 1972) 1 – Dave Schultz (74 kg 1983), plus one Olympic Gold (74 kg 1984) 1 – Kenny Monday (74 kg 1989), plus one Olympic Gold (74 kg 1988) 1 – Tom Brands (62 kg 1993), plus one Olympic Gold (62 kg 1996) 1 – Kurt Angle (100 kg 1995), plus one Olympic Gold (100 kg 1996) 1 – Rick Sanders (52 kg 1969) 1 – Fred Fozzard (82 kg 1969) 1 – Lloyd Keaser (68 kg 1973) 1 – Stan Dziedzic (74 kg 1977) 1 – Chris Campbell (82 kg 1981) 1 – Bill Scherr (90 kg 1985) 1 – Zeke Jones (52 kg 1991) 1 – Melvin Douglas (90 kg 1993) 1 – Les Gutches (85 kg 1997) 1 – Sammie Henson (54 kg 1998) 1 – Stephen Neal (130 kg 1999) 1 – Bill Zadick (66 kg 2006) 1 – Logan Stieber (61 kg 2016) 1 – Thomas Gilman, 57 kg 2021 I bolded my top 5. I did not put Dake there because he won 2 golds at non Olympic weights. That experience helped him get to the Olympic weight for sure. His goal was to be the champ at an olympic weight obviously. Incredible wrestler but not top 5. mspart

I believe you are conflating issues. Those that actually stormed the Capitol and did damage to people or property were rightly prosecuted. I do not agree they should be pardoned. I believe most on here have said that very thing when it happened. The majority of those that were there were pretty innocent, did not damage people or property and when asked to leave they did so. Your 1st Amendment hero, refused to leave, when asked, when asked again, when warned, when cajoled, during negotiations, etc. He was defying the law and the university, a place where he had agreed to live by their standards of conduct and certainly was not. Adding more ammo at his deportation. Something that has been lost here is that permits to hold demonstrations was a prerequisite to having those demonstrations. Since 2020, only the left is able to demonstrate without a permit and get no scrutiny. We had folks partying on I-5 here in Seattle and one got killed. State Patrol did nothing but try to keep them safe, which they failed at apparently. Did Mahmoud get a permit to demonstrate at Columbia? If so, he obviously broke the agreement and INA law. If not, which is likely, he broke the law in various ways as noted above including INA law. Mahmoud had a choice. He thought he was safe from repercussions so he made a choice to demonstrate. Bad choice for him as it turns out. But you can't really blame him. Everyone else since 2020 got away with mostly peaceful protests no problem. He didn't figure in his calculations that Trump would be President and the country would no longer side with this kind of rude and destructive behavior. mspart

https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/banking/article/6-eggs-and-other-inflation-pain-points-heres-where-prices-are-rising-181129344.html The Consumer Price Index surged 2.8% over the prior year in February, and the month-over-month increase was 0.2% — both measures cooling from January. You were saying? mspart

Mahmoud was passing out Hamas literature during the illegal activity at Columbia. He was clearly advocating to other students to join him in this protest. He was clearly advocating for Hamas. These activities are such to get him expelled from the US per the INA extract that jross provided. mspart

So if any of you think the INA is unconstitutional, take it to court. It seems pretty clear that the courts have backed both Congress and the Presidency on this. So good luck arguing this on constitutional grounds. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-1/ALDE_00001255/ Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. Long-standing Supreme Court precedent recognizes Congress as having plenary power over immigration, giving it almost complete authority to decide whether foreign nationals (aliens, under governing statutes and case law) may enter or remain in the United States.1 But while Congress’s power over immigration is well established, defining its constitutional underpinnings is more difficult. The Constitution does not mention immigration, but parts of the Constitution address related subjects. The Supreme Court has sometimes relied upon Congress’s powers over naturalization (the term and conditions in which an alien becomes a U.S. citizen),2 foreign commerce,3 and, to a lesser extent, upon the Executive Branch’s implied Article II foreign affairs power,4 as sources of federal immigration power.5 While these powers continue to be cited as supporting the immigration power, since the late nineteenth century, the Supreme Court has described the power as flowing from the Constitution’s establishment of a federal government.6 The United States government possesses all the powers incident to a sovereign, including unqualified authority over the Nation’s borders and the ability to determine whether foreign nationals may come within its territory.7 The Supreme Court has generally assigned the constitutional power to regulate immigration to Congress, with executive authority mainly derived from congressional delegations of authority.8 In exercising its power over immigration, Congress can make laws concerning aliens that would be unconstitutional if applied to citizens.9 The Supreme Court has interpreted that power to apply with most force to the admission and exclusion of nonresident aliens abroad seeking to enter the United States.10 The Court has further upheld laws excluding aliens from entry on the basis of ethnicity,11 gender and legitimacy,12 and political belief.13 It has also upheld an Executive Branch exclusion policy, premised on a broad statutory delegation of authority, that some evidence suggested was motivated by religious animus.14 But the immigration power has proven less than absolute when directed at aliens already physically present within the United States.15 Even so, the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence reflects that Congress retains broad power to regulate immigration and that the Court will accord substantial deference to the government’s immigration policies, particularly those that implicate matters of national security. mspart

The guitar was made in China. My Origin 20 head was made in Vietnam. My Epiphone LP was made in Korea I think. All are very good quality as far as I can tell. The cab appears to be locally made. I have been very happy with the Origin 20 head. Those tubes sound so nice!! mspart

You just have to love the babylon bee. mspart

Imagine if someone did this to MSNBC headquarters, or CNN headquarters or Ben and Jerry's headquarters or torching cars at an abortion clinic. I'm sure the conversation would not be so superfluous regarding property damage. There would be outrage as there should be. Another example of the left choosing how they will react day to day to very similar things. Example: the mostly peaceful riots of looting, graffiti, arson, and assault costing American cities billions of dollars. That rightly should have gotten everyone up in arms, but it was described as mostly peaceful, therefore it wasn't a big deal that people were run out of business, literally liquidated due to looters. Just the cost of social anger. But it was mostly peaceful. mspart

I got it yesterday. It was packed like crazy. It plays very nice. Sounds great. My wife likes it quite a bit actually. It has a much mellower sound than my electrics. I played it unplugged for a few minutes and she was impressed. I like it too. I plugged it in and put some reverb, chorus and delay on it and played around with that. Sounds pretty good with the reverb and chorus. The delay adds to the sound but it wasn't much really. I did set it so I could play Run like Heck (sp) by Pink Floyd with that delay effect that it has. That didn't sound bad. It would sound a lot better if I was a better player. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Hagstrom Viking. Still on sale on reverb.com at https://reverb.com/item/86682438-hagstrom-viking-tobacco-sunbrst-rp if anyone is interested. I told y'all about my rig, I have another amp, a Marshall Code 50. It is a programmable where I can get different sounds out of it, it has all of the effects. I didn't like the speaker, very cheap, and doesn't sound great. I rewired that to have a 1/4 jack out the back so i can plug it into the 2x12 cab and it sounds a lot better that way. The jack has the property of allowing the Code 50 speaker to play, but when the cord is plugged in, it takes power away from that speaker and routes it to the other end of the cord. Pretty cool jack really. Interestingly, my 20watt head (with vacuum tubes) is way louder than the 50watt Code, which is solid state. In addition it has bluetooth so I can play along with it with the backing tracks. That is a lot of fun to do alone without other players, because I don't have other players to play with. They make me feel inadequate because I am really not that good. I play decent rhythm, but leads, nope. It plays nice, I will have to do some work on intonation, but overall, plays good, feels good, sounds good plugged and unplugged. So overall I am impressed with how good it sounds and plays. mspart

Since I don't expect much, I won't be disappointed. You can only exceed expectations. mspart

You are most welcome. Now do better!! mspart

Nothing new to say, stuck to repeating yourself? mspart

First I will play it acoustically a little. Just to see how it sounds that way. Then I will plug it into my Marshall Origin 20 head and attach my effects pedals to it and put on some chorus and reverb and see how that sounds. I'll probably keep th sound pretty clean for awhile. On th videos I saw, it really sounded sweet on a clean amplification. I might add some fuzz or turn it up to get natural fuzz to to see how that sounds. I have a 2x12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers that does pretty good. I'm expecting some good sounds coming. The Origin 20 is a cheaper tube amp that goes back to the old days of the Marshall amp. It sounds pretty good. My cab is one I bought for $80 off Offerup. I changed the speakers from Celestion 12GM-70 which I did not like. I bought some Vintage 30's (again, not the most expensive) and have a really nice cab now. I don't have expensive gear. But I don't play well enough to demand better. It suits my purposes pretty nicely. Interestingly, Ted Nugent played a similar instrument back in his heyday in the 70s. mspart

Oh. I see. Of course that was what he was saying. Sorry to have gotten confused. mspart

It came!!! My wife says the box does not look all beat up so hopefully it is good. I am excited to try it out. mspart

Trying to be Gable is the issue. Zalesky was not the man. He was a good asst coach, but he totally failed at OSU and left there and is at Uni of Jamestown, a real wrestling power. At OSU, he just stopped caring about the program. Period. Tom Brands is a good coach. He has kept Iowa at the top levels, just not at the top. But he continues to want to be Gable and he is not. There are very few that are Gable, and Cael is a good argument. Gable was able to take good wrestlers and make them great, he was able to take great wrestlers and make them incredible. He had the tough guy image but part of its effectiveness was he seemed to have an innate ability to get in his wrestler's heads and know what they needed to get the absolute best out of them. Cael either does that or recruits people that don't need that. I think it is the former. That Gable ability to get in heads is something that cannot be taught in my opinion. That's what makes him great. mspart

There is a huge warehouse in Maple Valley WA and 20 Amazon trucks in a row can be seen driving down the Maple Valley Highway in the morning. Huge effort. I'd say 1/3 are electric. mspart

Hey fishy, this is a good post. Well reasoned. USPS is a government service that is subsidized so that it can reach essentially everyone that wants to be reached. That is certainly a consideration. In the past, they had a monopoly on postal services. That is no longer the case. It is a service that benefits everyone for sure. mspart

Ok, you show me what you have. You want something that you know I cannot provide. He was a ring leader to the protests, the protests were illegal, erego, he was part of an illegal activity. I don't have specifics for you because I am not privy to them. When that info comes out, I'm sure it will be shared with you to sate your thirst for info. Mr. Homan himself will provide the info and say that was for RV of Intermat forums. mspart
