  1. Varner?
  2. He just destroyed the field at Senior Nationals. The kid is a bulldog and real slick. He reminds me of Matt Brown.
  3. The fact that 87 percent of Americans support term limits should be enough. The reasons are obvious, Cronyism, special interests, insider and trading to name a few.
  4. You're analogy sucks. It was who's land?
  5. Already did...
  6. There is certainly wide support for reform of term limits on Congress.. In a 2023 Pew research poll, 87 percent of Americans expressed support for congressional term limits. Constitution center.org : "The argument againstfor term limits supporters argue, term limits could reduce corruption and increase independence from special interests and partisanship. By rotating leadership, lobbyists and advocacy groups would not be able to “invest” in campaigns and curry favor over time. Plus, “power tends to corrupt,” so if power is limited, the thinking goes, so is corruption. On the other hand, defenders of unlimited terms point to the experience and independence gained from long service. With such a large and complicated federal bureaucracy, members are most effective—and most resistant to special interests—when they are most knowledgeable. Defenders also claim the idea is undemocratic—why shouldn't a constituency be able to reward and punish its representatives as it sees fit? (An incumbency rate well over 90 percent and the increasing levels of money in politics suggest elections may not be as effective a check on congressional failure as this argument contends.)" 90 Percent rivals the lifetime position of the supreme court. There have also been calls for the Court to go from a lifetime term to 18 years with a one term President able to Nominate 2 justices and a two term president can nominate 4 justices. Which sounds reasonable. The argument Recently, Rep. Ralph Norman and Sen. Ted Cruz proposed a congressional term limits amendment in Congress. The proposal limited the terms to six years served in the House and 12 years in the Senate. In September 2023, the House Judiciary committee voted down the resolution in a 19-17 vote. Will term limits ever be passed when congress themselves have a say in it? Power corrupts. When we continually elect the same representatives we are giving them the green light to steal and enrich themselves. The last report I saw Pelosi is worth nearly 250 Million, McConnell 180 Million, Gold Bar Melendez and countless others are getting loaded off the backs of Americans. When we elect a person for the first time we are essentially give them a golden ticket. See AOC and the squad of morons that are enriching themselves and we get nothing in return but to pick up the tab.
  7. Who are the guys that are expected to make an imact out of the gate. This year there were several impact true freshmen ie Stanich, Davis, Welch, Kasak, Shapiro, Bailey, Tj Stewart, Ragotzky, Fishback, Arnold, Barr, Keuter etc. 6 of those mentionded were AA's Davis was the B10 champ. The others were R12 or spot started and showed out. There are some absolute hammers coming in the next couple years that will be in the conversation from the start. The kids I have been hearing about the most in 2024 are: 1. Luke Lilledahl Wyoming Seminary PA Penn State 2 Angelo Ferrari Melissa TX Iowa 3 Benjamin Davino St. Charles IL Ohio State 4 Koy Hopke Amery WI Minnesota 5 Zack Ryder Minisink Valley NY Penn State 182 6 Joseph Sealey Wyoming Seminary PA Penn State 160 7 Aeoden Sinclair Milton WI Missouri 195 8 Cody Merrill Gilroy CA Oklahoma State 220 9 Brock Mantanona Palm Desert CA Michigan 152 10 Pierson Manville State College PA Arizona State 145 I'm not as familier with the 2025 class but PJ Duke sticks out, the kid is a bull and super slick. A PSU recruit right in their 157 to 174 range where PSU is loaded. Who are the guys that are going to make an immediate impact.
  8. That was an amazing interview. Bo is just a great kid.
  9. read my other comment
  10. Exactly, Hence the post title.
  11. Not yet. He has a way to go to match Buvaisar Saitiev.
  12. There have been threads made and discussions about tiers. Flo dedicated a show to "Tiers" for every weight class. Why? I guess its wrestling talk, but aren't rankings and seeds sufficient?
  13. I have an idea. Lets have guys qualify for a tournament then get seeded then we will rank them but I don't think that's enough. Let's further break it down into tiers which will make it that much clearer. Then we can rank the guys in the individual tiers. What do you think? It feels like I'm missing something.
  14. Considering the kid wasn't expected to start at the beginning of the year, he had a pretty nice run.Lost to Figs and Volk in super tight decisions.
  15. Isn't David Taylor #1 pound-for-pound in the world right now?
  16. Great wrestler but probably wouldn't see the starting lineup at PSU.
  17. Yeah. I'm sure he's going for the retirement communities. His wife is 55.
  18. Alot of the big money folks have already left. Stallone just moved his family to Florida after 51 years in Ca. Peeps are leaving blue states to go to red states.
  19. Do you think regulations might be the problem? And yes they are able to move out of the state which they are doing. BTW, who do you think adds all the regulations?
  20. Government overreach I'm the free market is the problem
  21. Mom and pops was an overreach, but the effects are being felt like Mods Pizza with 560 locations which couldn't handle the 15.50 minimum wage. There are stories of hundreds of Employees that have shown up to work and either have a termination notice or the business is shuttered ie: the lemoore Foster freeze. Foster freeze has 607 locations
