My wife brined the turkey this year and it got smoked and it tasted kind of ham like. But the smoking process was great. The turkey is excellent. We all had a great time. Where? PNW. mspart

I would be guessing that J'Den Cox will be at the US Nationals as he is not on the above list. mspart

That's great, I'm happy for him and his family. Sounds like things are good family wise. Which really is most important. mspart

Maybe that is true, but the topic is being kept alive by the court cases filed against Trump. So yes, it keeps it alive and pointing out that PA did not do signature verification, in fact were told not to, only heightens concerns of malfeasance. mspart

Cunningham is a good choice, but I think for now it has to be Tom and Terry. If they were to bring in some of these guys as assistants, and there was a change, then it might be worth looking into. mspart

Welcome to the board braves. Yes, like cancer, ballot fraud is no respecter of persons. mspart

That would mean computers and semiconductors for those computers. In other words, no more digital world. If we are to really do something, it would be to go back 200 years and live as they did when population was much less. Without the industrial revolution: 1. No world wide communication 2. No world wide ease of travel. Both jet and car. 3. No world wide use of computers and internet. 4. No life saving drugs and procedures and machines. Have to get rid of all those plastic O2 machines grandma uses to breathe with. 5. No huge crop yields. 6. No clean water out of a tap. Chemicals used by municipalities to clean the water are provided by petrol use. 7. No plastic or rubber anything - boats, kayaks, backpacks, tents, boots, running shoes, no tires, no innertubes (so bikes are out), and no riding lawnmowers, chainsaws, mills, breakfast cereals etc. 8. No EVs, because of the enormous amount of energy provided by petroleum to make said EVs and their batteries. 9. No metal or composite roofing. Back to thatch and cedar (maybe not cedar as it takes machines to make those shakes). 10. No modern music or movies or TVs that takes electricity to play, to record, to distribute. Granted we don't need rock and roll, movies, or TV but it is fun and entertaining. 11. No air conditioners, those are the first to go. 12. No heaters, they run on gas, oil, and electricity. All of these sources are bad. 13. No electrical generation except by sun or wind. Oh wait, those items are essentially composites and are made by the use of petrol so they go away too. Just a few of the things everyone will have to sacrifice to get to net zero. Essentially the push for the end of fossil fuel use will herald in a catastrophe of human death and misery on a scale that we as a world have never known. All of the above things have made a difference in the lives of billions and allow billions to live. Get rid of them and we are back over 200 years ago doing majority subsistence living. The climate alarmists really don't know what the logical end to their wishes go. Above is a short list. mspart

Be doing Turkey tomorrow. I hope it is as good as it was last year. mspart

Happy Thanksgiving to all y'all. mspart

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy In September 2023, Hunter Biden filed a civil lawsuit against Giuliani, his companies and attorney Robert Costello, alleging that they had spent years "hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from" his personal devices and caused "total annihilation" of his digital privacy. So Hunter admits the laptop was his. Conspiracy theory #1 confirmed. A nothing burger that contains emails that confirm Joe Biden KNEW about his son's business dealings and met with his son's domestic and foreign business partners either in person or on phone. This contradicts Joe's campaign and later while President assertion that he knew nothing about Hunter's business. But he did. Conspiracy theory #2 confirmed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-verified-authenticity-of-hunter-biden-s-abandoned-laptop-in-november-2019-irs-whistleblower/ar-AA1cU3Iu Most news outlets ignored the laptop’s contents until well after Biden won the 2020 election, with the Washington Post and New York Times saying only in March 2022 that they had confirmed the authenticity of files. Again we have confirmation that the laptop and files belonged to Hunter Biden. Further confirmation that conspiracy theory #1 was true. So your assertion that NYP "dutifully produced what Trump said they would", is an absolute misrepresentation of the truth. Hunter is suing because the laptop contained info he didn't want out there and the WAPO and NYT have confirmed the authenticity of the files. NYP did nothing wrong here, they published the information which has later been confirmed. Sorry Plasi but your revision of history doesn't stand up. Twitter deleted information that was true. You like that? That is a good thing? And the effect that had on the election is incalculable. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2020/nov/26/cooper-biden-voters/ One in six Biden voters would have changed their minds if they had known the full story Might that have moved the election? Possibly. So burying this was good in your opinion? That's crazy. It goes to show you are more political than moral. You would rather have Biden win under suspicious circumstances than Trump win out in the open. That mindset is how democracy is lost. It isn't Trump that is a danger to democracy, it is that mindset that the ends justify the means that is a danger to democracy. People come and go, but closely held beliefs are tough to change, especially when one is not open to the truth. mspart

The Lee Megaludis match was pretty good. Both were after it. It just appeared to me that Lee was in control almost the entire match. That said, Megaludis is really good and I expect if he makes it to OTTs he will be a force. I'm sure he learned from this match as well as Lee. Lee allowed his back to be exposed more than I would have expected. There is a question whether he initiated some of this but I think he needs to work on that. The leg lace defense of Megaludis was great. I haven't seen anyone get torqued on like that since Joe Williams defended a leg lace and must have broken some of his bones. I can't remember who had it on him but he would not go over. I saw it in person so it must have been at US Nationals in Vegas one of those long years ago. I only have seen one WTT and Zero OTTs in person. So it wasn't one of those. mspart

I'm confused at what you are saying Plasi. Here is what we know: 1. Hunter's laptop is Hunter's? 2. There are many records that implicate him doing illegal things on it and this does make it relevant. What we know about what was said about it and chain of custody: 1. FBI was provided the laptop in 2019. They did not say anything about it. 2. Oct 2020, NYP published a detailed article about the laptop with information of the contents. 3. 50 intelligence folks said that the NYP and talk of the laptop was most likely Russian Disinformation. 4. NYP placed the article on Twitter, which deleted it and the NYP account so no one could access it via their social media website. It is now known this was coordinated with the Feds via the Twitter Files. 5. How would this information have affected the election. No one knows for sure. But Items 1, 3-4 above made sure as few people knew about it as possible. Why would they do that? Obviously they felt like this would have an election impact. This is just one situation and resulting many ways the 2020 election was tampered with. mspart

No that never happens. mspart

Very interesting jross. Thank you for posting. mspart

Is Mark Schultz just cleaning out the closets or is he in need of cash for some reason? Sad if the latter. mspart

Spencer Lee has now set the precedent of not getting the 4th national title. Will Stalrocci or Brooks follow in his footsteps? mspart

Top Ten 1. John Smith 2. Big Bruce 3. JB 4. KS 5. Dave Schultz 6. Kenny Monday 7. Mark Schultz 8. Dake 9. Taylor 10 Cox I could be persuaded to change my mind, but just sitting here thinking about it, these are the top 10, maybe not in the order given but I think these are the top 10. mspart

Jden looks like he is back to 100% physically. That's good. I don't think he goes down to Taylor, he couldn't make 97 two years ago. He goes 97 and hits a roadblock named Snyder. Unless he has improved greatly, I don't see him getting over or around the roadblock. But I am very happy that Jden has recovered and seems to be back in shape. mspart

Isn't that an even 7' tall? Seems like the wrong sport for this guy. mspart

It is still twitter.com. Put in x.com and it converts to twitter.com. So it is not X, formerly known as twitter. It is still twitter even after all these months. I would think it would be the other way around. Put in twitter.com and it transfers you to x.com. I find this interesting. mspart

I guess that answers the question for 57kg. mspart

OK, I get that. How did he convince so many of the righteousness of his cause when any outsider could look inside and know immediately something was seriously wrong? How did he find equally evil men like Himmler and Goebbels etc to do this evil work? My wife read a book on this and many of the German people were like he's a kook but he can't get his kooky ideas done because we are a good society and we have means to thwart him. But he changed the calculus and the courts etc and then there was nowhere to turn to. The courts ruled in favor of the Nazis consistently, which many Germans didn't think could happen. They became a full on dictatorship seemingly overnight. It wasn't but it was sneaky so it felt like it. mspart

You don't think China will act in the US best interests? mspart

Whatever happens, it will most likely be exciting. I would think that everyone, but Zain, will want to try to qualify the weights. This could be very intriguing. mspart
