  1. If you want to use ChatGTP, lets use it for political violence; Prompt; "How much of the Political Violence has been Left Wing vs Right Wing the past 30 years." Short answer: Most evidence shows the bulk of ideologically-motivated lethal political violence in the U.S. over the past ~30 years has come from far-right actors, not the left. The exact share depends on the dataset and definitions, but several high-quality analyses put the right-wing share well above 80% of lethal incidents and deaths in the period 1990–2024. Office of Justice Programs+1 Details and key sources A 2024 National Institute of Justice (NIJ) synthesis (drawn from three decades of NIJ-funded research) found far-right actors were responsible for far more lethal events and deaths than far-left actors: roughly 227 lethal far-right events (≈520 deaths) vs 42 far-left events (≈78 deaths) since 1990 — meaning the far right accounted for roughly 84–87% of those ideologically-motivated homicides in that period (depending whether you count incidents or deaths). (NIJ summary). Office of Justice Programs Independent academic work reaches similar conclusions: University of Maryland / START research and peer-reviewed comparisons show right-wing extremist violence has been substantially higher than left-wing violence in the U.S. in recent decades (especially after the 2010s). Start UMD+1 Other expert assessments (CSIS, ACLED US Crisis Monitor) document that white-supremacist / antigovernment / militia-style violence and threats rose sharply in the 2010s and especially around the 2020 election and January 6, 2021; ACLED’s U.S. monitoring also shows concentrated spikes in right-wing militia activity and violence. CSIS+1 Caveats & why precise percentages vary Definitions differ. Some datasets count only lethal “ideologically-motivated homicides,” others include plots, arrests, property attacks, threats, or non-lethal assaults. Which events are labelled “left” vs “right” can also vary. National Institute of Justice Time period matters. Including 9/11 and international Islamist terrorism changes totals dramatically for some time windows; excluding those makes the domestic far-right share even larger in recent decades. PMC Under-reporting & classification. Some incidents are ambiguous or never prosecuted as “ideologically motivated,” and researchers must make judgment calls. That causes small differences between datasets. National Institute of Justice If you want this broken down numerically for a specific dataset/timeframe, I can pull the counts and compute percentages (for example: NIJ/TEVUS, START/GTD, ACLED US Crisis Monitor, or FBI summaries) and show a short table comparing incidents, deaths, and arrests by ideology. Which dataset or exact years do you want me to use? Go ahead, ask XAI or Grok... you're not going to find this idea that supports that the left is the "more violent" of the two sides. And while people clutch their pearls about comments made about Kirk, those were Ugly. But you had Kirk himself mocking Paul Pelosi, calling for Biden's Execution, you have Republican Senators mocking the Minnesota Senators who were shot, namely Mike Lee, "Nightmare on Waltz Street," which... wasn't even clever, there was much lower hanging fruit that he didn't go for, but nobody has accused him of being particularly bright.
  2. Mike Poeta is a guy who was one of my favorites. He had Burroughs and another brutal matchup, but he was such an explosive Wrestler, I was a fan. Started out up at 165 because of the Tirapelle's at Illinios, then goes 3, 2, 2 with losses to Leen, Burroughs in the finals and I think one of the Paulson's in the Semi's. I didn't read all 6 pages, but he doesn't seem like he's remembered like he should be.
  3. Yup. That's... a very accurate quote. I definitely said, "narcotics are cool."
  4. Yeah... I didn't "compare" them, but I DID take a guy who was a 4X NCAA Champ and who is actually coaching and suggest him rather than a guy people speculate MIGHT choose to coach in the future.
  5. Yeah, it's just so insane that they have just 6 weights. Nolf... I feel like 154 would a great weight for him. There are so many guys who are stuck between weights, it's just ridiculous. I don't have all the good examples, others would have more, but... going back to 10 would be great. Dake, Taylor...even Howe was a monster behind JB at 74 and would have(or did) all thrive at 79 or in DT case, 86. But not after burning several years. As for Brooks-Hidlay, I'd love to see them Wrestle again... but you just stain your own legacy so badly, it's sad Brooks felt the need to cheat. I didn't really get why he was going 97KG to begin with, but... this is about Hidlay and it's cool to see him break through(now...can we get Fix to do so!)
  6. Or... bring Logan Stieber to Iowa. Everyone's throwing out Dake, Burroughs. Why not a guy like Stieber? I get he's probably in line at OSU, but you can coach at a rival. Metcalf did it, Ryan, Gable, naming more would be pointless as it's not a point of contention. I don't see Iowa moving away from the Brands though... which would be pretty bold.
  7. Well... I hadn't heard that, but... doing something harmful to yourself still isn't the same as hurting others or running your mouth. Plus, it seems pretty speculative. You get the idea though.
  8. Scroll up bud... And YOU... I literally already answered your question. If at this point, it's STILL going over your head that I was being facetious while TELLING you, I don't know what to say other than... consider the possibility you're not that "smart."
  9. Who wants to tell him? Small Towns have plenty of guys who run their mouths also. I don't see how that would factor into you liking or not liking online trash talking.
  10. Means nothing. Trust me... I'm getting Hims ED ads and other such nonsense. I mean, ok, the Tractor ads, yeah, I HAVE been looking at Tractors... that I won't buy and the and I DID just buy a Truck(A year ago) and have thought about a new ATV so... those made sense. But that rest... pft...
  11. Oooh... you're marked. Sky Net is coming to get you. You must turn into Kyle Resse's top Lieutenant in the War to come.
  12. Yeah, but he said his son Greg WrestleS for Cornell now. Vito have a younger Brother?
  13. Not Rogan, still funny.
  14. Nope. I thought we could make it like 5 words and just see how long it could go on for. But I only wanted each person to bring up ONE thing.
  15. Name ONE time Penn State has ever swept ANYTHING under the rug?
  16. It sounds to me, the SA allegation was via Bartlett and his GF(the girl went to Bartlett's GF and told her and he said something). The stealing... Cael basically just said, "You handle it" to the Police. I don't know that's worthy of much investigation. I don't use snapchat either... I don't know that specific allegation was levied to any authority there. I'm a big fan of Starocci's Wrestling... mostly, but he does not seem like a David Carr or...Jason Nolf, Ed Ruth type person. More loud, boisterous and obnoxious. He DAMN sure better not Wrestle anywhere else. Anyone else who has moved to another RTC, College for their family, career(because you want to be a HC and 1 of the 3 jobs at the true-true blue blood programs offers you the brinks truck and the resources to win).
  17. First fight, fine. I'd say in the next fights try and spar before you do. I remember Wrestling and my coach would tell me to not pin someone right away... Of course there was risk of getting punched in the face and Johnny from Who Gives a @#$ East isn't... quite the same level of competition, but still for him to get better, it'd probably help.
  18. Yeah, it'd just be their lines to make it to the CFP Championship. Probably not as good of odds as you'd think.
  19. ETH is is going to 20K in the next 12 months...or at least I've been counting on that for a while. Now just need China and Nvidia to work something out. B30 approval would be... nice.
  20. Arch Manning... Though, I don't have any idea who is even starting for Ohio State in most places. I know they have that freak at WR who'll be a top 3 pick(probably with Arch) in 2 years, but... no idea this year.
  21. Pretty sure that was "with the program." Wasn't the "OR ANYTHING ELSE," the question you wanted clarification on? Trump talking about screwing a 10 year old in the future would fit under that umbrella of ANYTHING ELSE.
  22. Powell was pretty Dovish at his Jackson Hole speech and gave the impression a cut was coming. Not the 50 basis points and ALMOST definitely not a 2nd one this year(6 cuts were originally predicted before the tariffs and the Big Beautiful Bill) but... finally some cut.
  23. Is that the standard now? As long as you can LEGALLY say something, it's cool for the President to say it? Or me? If I walk past your 10-year-old daughter and say I'll be dating her in 10 years, I mean, that's protected speech, right? That'd be part of the "anything else." Talking about your daughters tits. That may be part of the problem. No problems.
  24. My bad. Heroes and I was mixing up the "rolled up sleeves" controversy with the "tan suit" controversy. Both were VERY serious at the time!
  25. I mean, I think he has a realistic shot of beating those guy. I don't think his chances of beating TWO when you add...Taylor who's bigger, Feldman, Kueter with his length, that's more my issue. But maybe I'm wrong. I'd just have him more in the Rd12-AA range than a guy who loses in the Semi's or Wrestle's back to the Consolation Semis.
