I did Veterans FS from 2000-2002. It was fun. They look a lot slower, but I found out I was a lot slower as well. It all evens out. They used to have guys in the F division that did not look good at all. Kudos for getting out there but scary due to injury possibilities. Fortunately, they were not that quick or strong so danger was not high. But falling down could be a problem. I am now in the E category. I hurt my shoulder wrestling and my neck in a car accident. I don't do the competition anymore. They all outclass me anyway. But I did continue asst coaching HS until a few years ago. mspart

I don't know what the eligibility requirements are for WTT. He went to the WCs last year and did not place, got beat and then the guy that beat him got beat so Jordan was out. mspart

Just about everyone that said Dake will lose was wrong. Only exception is Burroughs. And then he beat Burroughs finally. I would not count Dake out, not even close. But if they are on opposite sides of the bracket, I think they will be the finalists. Zahid can do it, but Dake doesn't lose. So there is that. mspart

It's a lot of fun to do if you are thinking about it Rodent. I can't say I did good, but it was fun. I was bound and determined I would not lose due to passivity, so I initiated action and my inexperience and lack of ability got me in trouble from there. But I had a blast doing it. mspart

Factual statement hunt Many wingers have these beliefs, and the percentages skyrocket when you just look at the core MAGA wingers themselves. Opinion only. The term "many wingers" makes this clear. Some of these are in the <50% category (e.g. flat earth theory, didn't land on the moon) but several are in the > or close to 50% category (e.g. election conspiracy, which I forgot to mention, denial of man-made climate change, young earth theory, etc). Opinion. The term "Some of these" makes this clear. mspart

I agree, I think we see him in WTT if he is eligible. He did not have a great showing last year and I would think he would want another shot to make it right. mspart

Men have proven they are better women than women are. They get all the awards, they are better athletes. Yes, men are better at being weomen than women are. mspart

It doesn't happen all that often. According to RV, we shouldn't worry about this. mspart

Just because it is rare is not a reason to dismiss it. It is patently unfair in competition and gross and uncomfortable to have a man in a woman's bathroom or locker room. The polling on this bears this out. There are cases where "transgender women" rape and otherwise molest women. And we allow the conditions that make that a possibility. Louden County is a prime example. Any sexual assault by anyone should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. There is so much you get wrong here it is really quite amazing. mspart

Yep, that is what the data says!! mspart

He's trying to win at different weights like he did in college. Gold at 74 and 79, now on to 86! Dake is an incredible wrestler and I wish him all the luck in the world as he keeps on pursuing his wrestling passion. mspart

Thank you Jon! mspart

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

https://jonathanturley.org/2025/04/10/coercive-control-parents-could-lose-custody-under-proposed-colorado-law-for-misgendering/#comments This is pretty interesting and pretty shocking. 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
