It’s been a long hot dry summer and fall season here in the northeast. For months we have been in a drought. It’s very hard not to notice how brown my lawn has become. Just by looking, you would think the grass is dead. As hard as the drought has been on my lawn, and things look dry and dead, I know at this point of the season, green grass has come to its end, winter is setting in. We may think the grass is dead but we have to have faith, there will be new seasons of growth coming. When the springtime and the spring rains come, I know my lawn will come back and be lush and as green as it ever was.

Isn’t that how these past 4 plus years have been. Our enemies did their best to discourage us, kill our optimism. They created droughts for us that love our freedom. By us having faith and not giving up, knowing the season of growing will come, it has flustered them. We see they are having difficult times dealing with our faith knowing our freedoms are coming back and we will once again thrive. If our enemies can’t keep us discouraged, keep us down, we have succeeded in taking away one of their greatest weapons. The more we stay in faith, stay positive, look beyond our discouragement, we see our enemy doesn’t know how to handle it.

This year in particular we have so much to be thankful for. Our season of discouragement is coming to an end. If we keep looking forward and continue these changes back towards freedom we are sure to regain our happiness. One of the biggest brightest issues I am thankful for is that people are becoming aware of the lies of the left. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, keep the faith!

I too, James, am in the northeast so am well acquainted with the drought & lack of rain. Typically, when it rains on a holiday, I am somewhat disappointed. However, yesterday when it rained all day long on Thanksgiving, I could not have been more thankful. It really is all about shifting our perspectives on a great many things. Thank-you for sharing yours.

Here in central Texas we are also having a drought that is being made worse by the water companies selling the available water out from under their customers. We have 2 sources, a lake and aquifers and the lake is half full and one aquifer losing 5 ft/yr. Meanwhile the companies collude with developers throwing up new construction everywhere you look

That for sure is one of the detriments or being a red state in a sea of leftys. Some how you have to make space and infrastructure to accommodate the (conservative) refugees.

Problem is a lot of these refugees are not so conservative. Abbott has been offering incentives to silicon valley comps. to come here and locate in and around austin. Resulted in moving the I35 corridor from solid red in '16 to purple in '20. Was really worried it might have gone blue

When the dark forces in the US government decide to compete with Mother Natures ability to control the weather, what would you expect to happen? They are polluting the air with reflective materiel to compete. Poisoning the ground when it falls to earth.

Just another honey pot called global warming.

Thomas I’ve read about this, I believe they spray aluminum oxide among other things. They say all of the natural way leaves compost and are eaten by bugs have been killed off. I have huge oak trees around my property. This year I noticed all of the leaves were full, nothing is eating them. I’ve never in my life have seen this. Also I read the leaves do not compost because of what they spray into the atmosphere. They are destroying the entire ecosystem including making animals and people sick. The scary thing is 99.9% of people have no idea what’s going on. And the people spraying it will just keep cashing the checks. It’s frightening what the government is doing.

We need transparency!! If it is happening!! And who is doing it! The nice thing is that once you know that, the change can come quick. Just ONE season of no chem trails, ONE season of no pesticides, ONE season of no glyphosate, ONE season of raw milk and grass fed meat, and everyone’s health will bounce up like a bright red India rubber ball!!

A little more CO2 wouldn't hurt either.

More CO2 = bumper crops and a green planet.

Less CO2 = a recipe for global starvation.

As I have stated many times and, I will continue to say so, the RED thread extends from the crucifixion of JESUS to today's chaotic and utterly destructive/murderous situation. Nothing will ever change until WE smash, crash, crush, destroy and eliminate this evil specie.

Absolutely keeping the Faith, & I know in my heart we will be stronger than ever & continue to move forward on a positive path for our future! My small family of 4, my Daughter, Son-in-Law & my two amazing grand daughters work together & help one another. I do worry about my grand daughter’s future, but our Faith in God has kept us on a better road to travel- & we know “we’re going to be good”. We have been tested time & again with health issues, especially my grand daughter’s. Last October (’23), covid hit all 4 of my family. This nasty virus has put them through the mill- they got through it eventually, but this past entire year(’24), a horrible cold, & coughing kept hanging on. They get sick, then recover, & then yesterday my oldest grand daughter mentioned her throat was “stinging & hurt). At 1:30 AM, my Son-in-Law had to rush his daughter to the ER because she couldn’t breathe. Turns out she has the croup- evidently whooping cough. She is better this morning & was given one Steroid pill, crushed into applesauce; so, the next step is getting a humidifier in her room & hoping adding humidity in her room helps her sleep. These girls have been up & down with this cough, & some type of virus that just won’t leave! So, we keep praying for their health to improve, & for them to get better!

Thank you so much. My grand daughter has been on the mend the past two days, & is feeling better, but now has a hoarse voice this morning. She didn’t want to go to school & has been very tired! Not back to her normal self- which is extremely active all the time!

So glad to hear it. As long as she's getting better, I'm sure it won't be long now. I remember when I was a kid, sometimes I just really didn't want to go to school, but hang out in bed and read something interesting instead of skool work, but as a hyperactive child (way before they even had a name for it), I got antsy and wanted to get out.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I remember when I was in school, & the times I hated going, was in high school. I wasn’t sick, I didn’t like attending a new high school- I wanted to go to the high school where my Jr. High classmates went! So, I am also happy my grand daughter is getting back to her normal activities, & especially healthier!

Doctors don't study nutrition, so they may not have asked you about the foods your granddaughters are eating, which contribute to health problems. Food allergies can stress the Immune System and cause sore throats and coughs. My son and I were sick all the time, until I stopped using any dairy. foods.

I live in Seattle where it rains all the time, but what people don't know is our summers can be very dry for about 3-4 months of no rain at all and my grass always turns brown, and everyone says, hey no need to water it, it will bounce back, and it usually does. One year though I could tell it was too dry because the stalks were breaking into pieces and blowing away and all I could see was bare dirt. So, I said the grass is dead. Everyone else said, not it's fine it'll bounce back, but it didn't. It did die that year, and I had to reseed and start over. So, grass can die in a drought, but it probably depends on what kind of grass you have. Some grass varieties are much more drought tolerant than others, and I planted a new more drought tolerant variety and haven't had that problem since then. Is there a moral in this story somewhere? Perhaps, we are also the drought-tolerant variety. No amount of leftist lunacy and evil can separate us from the love of God. Hopefully, during this new spring, we can also plant seeds of hope in the hearts of those deceived by the left.

Well said James! Much to be grateful for! And I pray the RADICAL LEFT will have to pay for what they have done to this country! MAGA/MAHA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

James Goodrich's avatar

Thank you Jennifer, we all must never forget that our response to the radical left has been many years of reacting to what they did to us. We certainly didn’t ask to be put through this. They were the aggressor and it took us a long time to start winning some of these battles including the battle of the election. But we should never make the mistake of thinking it’s over, they will never stop, they will never just let us be. They want a total communist/ socialist take over and anything short of that will never be ok with them. We must always be prepared.

Happy Thanksgiving to You, Family and ALL of Dr Malones many "enthusiastic followers" James. I (again) loved your Substack today and it is particularly of interest to me because I am engrossed in revealing the lies that we have ALL been fed, and I expect to make some amazing revelations in the not too distant future.

this is inspiring James, thanks for sharing, and yes we had a great "thanks day" as my grand-niece says. My Texas grass has had the same summer and autumn experience this year as yours. We had a little rain one day a week or so ago and now there are patches of green amongst the brown. Life perseveres undaunted.
