Who said I have an anti-Israel agenda? Also- since you agree with everything this administration says you must agree the Epstein thing is a hoax too? Rubio is probably the most competent one in this whole administration (which is actually a pretty low bar when half the people are podcasters) so when he speaks you can usually tell if they have control of a situation or not...

Ill have to tell my catholic neighbor that he could be good friends with the pope since they're both catholic... bet he didn't know that's how it works.

Rubio literally said in a press conference yesterday that they knew Isreal was going to attack and we had to attack because of the potential to be counter attacked as a byproduct of being an ally of Isreal so we were forced into joining... Trump clearly is not in the drivers seat with this. Not sure why you guys don't just think critically and take what the administration is literally telling you at face value vs twisting yourself into a pretzel trying to defend something that's not based on reality.

Deflect all you want- doesn't change the facts. Not sure why you are so hell bent on dying on the hill of Epstein being an Israeli asset... very strange...

There's direct evidence of him communicating with Israeli prime minister and intelligence... Great way to show you have little to no ability to comprehend what you're reading.

Ive shifted how I look at this whole epstein thing… It used to be about getting pedo’s and it certainly still is….but it really is so much more than that. In a nutshell, it is very likely that given Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence as well as the elite class of politicians and business people around the world- he was apart of an almost global world order of people that pull the strings of geopolitics. I’m sure gaining kompromat on many individuals was certainly a plan, I just think he went rogue when trafficking younger and younger women to the point it got to children. Once being found out, everyone behind the scenes did the best they could to keep it hush hush and put him out alone on an island (no pun intended) but it essentially went viral. Once in custody and the ability to blow the lid off things, Epstein was put down like a dog to prevent further damage. Similar to victims that “committed suicide” because they likely also had comprising information. It’s not a surprise things weren’t released under Biden when it’s obvious people are implicated in both political parties. It’s just got to the point of a fever pitch and Trump, wanting to be reflected, used it to gain support. Problem is, no one forgot about it. I mean there are still literally millions of documents not being released and the ones that are are still heavily redacted. There is a deep and far reaching web of people across the world and political spectrum that control and distract the populations to mold society how they see fit. Are we in a simulation? No. But we might as well be since we only have the allusion of free will when so much is shaped behind the scenes. The battle is not left vs right, its the very many at the bottom vs the very very few at the top. How does Trump tie into this? My belief is he started out just partying with Epstein and maybe the genuinely got on well together and Epstein viewed trump as someone that could be manipulated easily due to his vanity. Trump potentially is read into this world order of the wealthiest and most powerful people but isn’t part of the club and is potentially looked down on by this ultra elite ruling class. (I mean is this really far fetched when he was cozying up to the Clinton’s all those years ago?) Trump feels snubbed by this and knows the one way he can gain the power and influence he wants is to become president. He certainly has always been adept at marketing himself and that’s essentially what a presidential election is. Marketing yourself to those in the middle that will sway the vote one way or the other. Now trump is finally in this position of power and all of the sudden Epstein is a hoax? That is completely nonsensical… He just wants it to go away, he doesn’t want more questions asked and he certainly could have plenty of compromising information on himself out there and would you be surprised if Israel has a hold of it given his actions against Iran? The administration can’t adequately articulate what all this is about in Iran and contradict themselves at every turn… What if its just about taking action in Iran while he still can before midterms- Isreal knows this, and perhaps they leveraged him.

There are actually many former intelligence officials that hold the opinion that Epstein was an Israeli asset. This shouldn’t be a partisan topic by the way. This article mentions why there are strong links between himself and Israeli intelligence aside from the fact that he often communicated with them. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/9/what-were-jeffrey-epsteins-links-to-israel The actions of the US in regards to its policies and positions in the Middle East, especially with Trump at the helm, seem to alig and aren’t surprising given the close ties trump had to Epstein. One can hold the thought in their mind that there are probably good and bad Jews like every other religious and ethnic group in the world. The Israeli government has more than likely drastically overreached into intelligence gathering to the point of coercion but I can understand why with the events of WWII. It’s just- that history doesn’t justify their actions to extort the world to do what they deem is in their best interest.

Pretty crazy the disparity between Marcus blaze with the guys above him. I’d definitely lower Jax and Seidel a few points and slide them over to blaze. Would be a good bet at the current probability.

First and foremost- I hope you, your family and all those you know stay safe. Has to be very surreal and frightening when bombs are dropping near your home. If you get a chance, can you share what the generals thoughts of this are from the Iranian point of view? Do they welcome this intervention? Did they want to take care of it themselves? Are they pissed as all hell? Any information would be welcomed.

Everything seems depressing to me in this video... While at first I thought the wrestling room was cool, now it just seems like an austere lifeless dungeon. Maybe even torture chamber vibes... Iowa needs to bring some youth and joy back to the sport.

I think he could flip the recruiting edge further by being the new "young and energetic" coach to wrestle for. There's always a draw for those to what's new and fresh and right now that's Oklahoma St. Slaying the dragon of Penn St won't be easy and will take some time but I could potentially see Penn State start to lose ground in the next few years to OKST. No dynasty lasts forever.

Agreed... He reminds me a bit of Austin Desanto in that way. If it's someone that can't handle the pressure/heavy hands they fold. Someone that doesn't give a crap about that and is technical and equally tough at hand fighting gives him fits. You can almost see him shut down in those matches when he knows he's not able to overwhelm someone in the handfight. I don't think Bo is a bad kid but his whole style is just a couple decades past. Melvin on the other hand is going to be an absolute handful.

No way

Does anyone know of any special gatherings or parties being hosted in Cleveland during NCAAs? I'm not on Facebook so I typically don't come by this stuff. I grew up in northeast Ohio and didn't know if they had a gathering or if there were other such events. I remember in Pittsburgh the WPIAL had a thing we went to since I had family that wrestled there growing up. Are they having a fan experience set up anywhere like in years past? Can't find anything on that... Wrestlers in Business Networks is another one but all I saw was one such gathering for the Ohio chapter. If anyone knows of any things going on please post! Would love networking with others.

Damn can you imagine if crookham was healthy in that bracket too?

Cornell VTech Nebraska Oklahoma Iowa St Ohio St Princeton Missouri (although crowded) All better options off the top of my head than his current situation. Iowa just isn't it for a guy like him for his wrestling or his mental game.

I think Arnold needs to transfer,obviously this is entirely my opinion and all based on feels but I sense the coaching staff doesn't really respect him other than the points he gets for the team.

Don't agree with the no takedown or the last stall call. Ryder was out of bounds when he shot...

And Arnold is better at wrestling essentially a similar style that Ryder does so I'm not feeling good about that one for OKST

Facundo just always seems scared to mix it up when he wrestles. He just seems to wrestle with a lot of doubt about himself or something, I can't put a finger on it.

I'd be surprised if he makes the finals

Lockett really didn't look good and can't stand dropping to the knees like that. I do think his gas tank could be an issue going through NCAAs

I think we see locket, Facundo and Ryder all go down in this dual. Final score 23-14

It's a god damn bee hive out there! We're getting stung all over! Somebody get an EPI Pen

Scramble situations are a huge weakness in Iowas wrestling style
