I think he has that backwards. She said he was kinfolk, but it was confusing. Here is the quote from the NY Post. “‘I will say, though, you know, as they say in my community, all kinfolk ain’t skinfolk,’ Sanders Townsend said, although she appeared to mean it the other way around.” Anyway, whether kinfolk or not mainstream outlets like MS now clearly have reported on Donalds. Why did you fail to mention the other two people poised to become the first black governors in their respective states? There are four such people; three men and a woman.

Wasn't he also the National Archivist and the Administrator of USAID? Maybe he held 4 positions.

Does he still hold 3 positions in the administration? If so would he be resigning all of them?

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/tuesdays-elections-bring-historic-first-black-governors-rcna607008 Aren’t there’re three Byron Donalds, Aaron Ford, and David Crowley? But why leave out Keisha Lance Bottoms? Just because she is a woman? Still the first black governor in that state.

The public wants investigations, hearings and subpoenas. Corruption was the top election issue either just ahead of or just behind cost of living depending on the poll. If you want to talk about not keeping promises look at the guy that said he would "drain the swamp" and is now at the epicenter of the corruption having enriched himself billions of dollars since taking office. "Voters are more concerned about government corruption than any other issue, including high grocery and gas prices, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey."

Corruption was a top issue for voters in the recent election. I imagine the results reflect who they think is to blame. “Harris poll for Guardian finds 76% believe officials care more about self-enrichment than helping everyday Americans.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/30/government-corruption-us-midterm-poll ”Voters are more concerned about government corruption than any other issue, including high grocery and gas prices, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey.” https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/23/corruption-midterm-election-cnbc-poll-trump.html

How do you figure? This would usually require 67 votes, no? Below is the relevant section of the constitution. “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.” I believe Republicans will hold more than 33 seats in the Senate. CNN currently predicts that Republicans will hold 44 seats with two senate races undecided. Even if the Democrats win those seats and all of them are present and vote to convict in an impeachment proceeding along with the two independents and four Republicans that is only 60 votes. (54 D + 2 I + 4 R = 60). That would only represent the required 2/3 if 11 other Republicans senators didn’t show up for the vote which is implausible. 60 is greater than 2/3 of 89. It would be more realistic to simply get 11 republican senators to vote for removal than to get 4 to vote for removal and 11 others to not show up. Neither scenario is likely to happen.

Glad to see all the mid-decade gerrymandering didn’t pay off.

Teams pay entry fees for invitationals instead of the individual. There are still entry fees. Invite more teams collect more fees.

You can put your deposit down today. $50k for the performance version with the fans or $250k for the thrust version with the fans and thrusters in the rear. The rocket version with the 6 thrusters that did the kick flip and curved wall jump is invite only. They haven’t announced the final price of any version yet. https://www.tesla.com/roadster/reserve#payment Nine years ago the former second gen roadster was announced with a price of $200k and could be reserved with a $50k deposit. One thousand founders series were also offered for $250k, but those had to paid in full to reserve. That is $250M in interest free money for 9 years if no one has asked for a refund. Being Musk doesn’t expect the new version to go into production until 2028 that will be ~11 years from the announcement at the Tesla semi event in Nov 2017 until the first car is delivered.

Actual cars can be impractical and inaccessible to everyday consumers - most super cars are and many manufacturers make concept cars to show what’s possible or gain publicity that never go into production. If the roadster was just an impractical inaccessible super car or a demo concept car I wouldn’t call it a scam. But I don’t think it exists as it’s been described and I doubt it ever will yet the Tesla website is taking deposits for models with both the fan system and thrusters. How many of them do you get delivered in the next 5 years? What’s crazy is that 1000 people paid the full purchase price of $250,000 back in 2017 to reserve founders series roadsters. Nine years later it would appear Tesla isn’t ever going to make that car. Do they get one of the redesigned roadsters? Which version? Is Tesla going to ask for more money? If I had to guess the models with the fan system snd thrusters never get sold to the public. No earlier than three years from now Tesla delivers a car that has slightly better acceleration and top speed than what was quoted in 2017 but with half the range. The original range was supposed to be 620mi. Tesla had also promised ~80-100 second gen founders series roadsters to the top referrers in their old referral program. If someone referred 55 customers that bought a model S or X they would receive a free roadster. Referring 105 customers would get you two roadsters. Will they actually make good on that promise?

I think this demonstration, though cool, is likely a scam. I doubt Tesla delivers a single car with the cold gas thrusters in the next 9 years. I doubt that either the version with thrusters or the fan system is ever allowed on public road. The fan system would suck up rocks and debris from the road and expel it out the back. There are additional questions about whether the cars used in the demo were fully functional versions of the car. It wouldn't be too surprising if they made a lightweight one off concept car that could flip with thrusters as in the demo. Where it starts to get unbelievable is if a these were actual EVs with 300 miles of range each capable of doing all three stunts with an onboard compressor capable of refilling the thrusters. They may have used strip down versions of the car in the demo. They definitely used 3 different cars -one for each feat (0-60mi/hr, kickflip, and curved ramp). That may have been because of refilling time for the thrusters and each needing a refill after doing the demo. There were photos of external high pressure gas tanks at the demo there were presumably used to fill the thrusters on the car, but it probably takes some time even with those. It's like none of the demo cars have an onboard compressor capable of refilling the thursters.

You can find historical freestyle results here https://uww.org/athletes-results?tab=historical-results. It only has international events. This website has profiles with freestyle wrestling results for some American wrestlers. It isn't comprehensive, but includes domestic results you can't find at the other one. https://wrestlingrecords.com/

The original Intermat was run by the NWCA and it was great. That was the go to place for wrestling box scores as I think all the weight management was run through them and schools had to report the results there along with weights form weigh-ins. At some point Rev Wrestling bought Intermat. Results reporting persisted here and on the regular NWCA website too for a time. It must have stopped whenever weight management and results reporting switched to trackwrestling from the NWCA tracker. It's surprising the wrestler profiles on Flo are so bad in comparison to wrestlestat when Flo owns Track which is where all the results are aggregated. From watching FRL it seems like the hosts used wrestlestat to look up wrestlers results more than either of their own websites (Flo and Track). You would think that would create some motivation to improve it.

This is a nonsense strawman. No one has said that nor do they think it. Not everything gets to be a standalone subscription or an additional line item on a bill. Providing historical results and player profiles with that info is part of the cost of doing business for a top sports league in 2026 and it's been that way for a while. Regardless of what Wrestlestat does the NCAA should be providing this for free. It shouldn't be a viable business strategy to charge a subscription to access it because it should be available on the league site (NCAA) and for that reason almost any site that covers the sport will also have it. The NCAA already makes these kind of historical stats available on stats.ncaa.org for baseball, basketball, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball, for all divisions. I am sure time and effort is required to keep wrestlestat running, but it might not be a viable stand alone business. Such player profiles should be readily available on any site that covers the sport. When you go to Intermat rankings the wrestlers names should be links that go to a profile for the player with results. Same thing on Flo and other wrestling sites. If the stats become available then they all must provide it because they want to keep users on the site. How many sites covering MLB lack player profiles with stats? Imagine if you went to ESPN and after reading a preview article an upcoming NFL game you wonder how many rushing yards the running back had when these two teams played last year? Then to answer that question your had to leave ESPN's site and pay a $40 subscription. It's absurd. This is the way. Any professionally run sports organization will provide historical results, stats, and player profiles on its website. Over ten years ago I played in an adult wiffleball league that had maybe 20 teams with under ~6 players team. The league had a website with player profiles, box scores, and stats for the entire history of the league. I don't understand the reference. Wrestlestat predates this board.
