Thank God for free speech, at least for now, and thank God for the Malones and the Friday Funnies!!! A smile is much needed today, thank you!

Just some satirical thoughts; I’d love to see Mark Cuban step in the boxing ring and go one round with the strong brilliant Lieutenant Colonel, Tulsi Gabbard!!! I’m sure Mark is a big supporter of men in women’s sports so this would be a great opportunity for “him” to show the world what kind of big strong man (or bro) he really is.

Question; Who are the real misogynist a man that wants to protect women, women sports and their privacy in a bathroom and shower, or people that can’t define what a woman is, lets men into the little girls room, puts tampons in the men’s room and calls women birthing people?, but let that go.

Maybe Trump and Tulsi should set up a challenge for Mark. Geez I hope “him” is the correct pronoun for Mark, if not my sincere apologies, I meant no offense. I know how touchy these progressives can be about “their” pronouns, oops “their”???

My how things have gotten so confusing today in this new world of progressivism. Hmmm, I wonder 🤔 if Marks partner really knows who he’s voting for? TRUMP?

Take a guess; How many women do you think play for the Dallas Mavericks??

On a serious note: Lets sum things up, the Harris campaign’s final pitch to get your vote, it’s not lowering inflation, it’s not getting energy costs down, it’s not saving businesses and getting the economy going, its not about closing the border, it’s not about ending the killings and the wars in Gaza and the Ukraine, no, it’s all about Trump is Hitler, his supporters, black, white yellow, red, brown are all racist, fascists and Garbage, and Trumps women supporters are stupid and weak. I can only imagine when the new poles come out what we’re all going to be then, child molesters and people sleeping with goats?

If Kamala and the democrats are able to steal this election like they did in 2020, what are they going to rule over. I’ve never in my life seen a campaign, in America, run on the complete hatred of over half the population. After viscerally insulting all of us in an effort to make us sub human how could she possibly be president? Is she going to claim to be a uniter? What are their real intentions? What are their real plans for us? Again I’m dangerously confused. J.Goodrich

Nearly a year since Elon zinged (zang?) Cuban on his commitment to DEI.

"Cool, so when should we expect to see a short white/Asian women on the Mavs?"

Ouch! Classic.

James I hear that Elon made a deal with Trump that the Epstein list will be released. They shook on it. I have heard they have the list. Elon has made insinuations that Cuban is on that list along with B Gates and many others. He is said to be disgusted with the people that have messed with underage girls and boys. For Cuban and many other billionaires that all run in close circles, this list going out to the public is devastating of coarse because they are on it. They are getting desperate!!!

Let us hope that gives their victims a reason to come forward and have these rabid vermin arrested, tried and given the justice they have earned.

Trump and the repubs can make it safe for these victims to come forward.

James, I know that you know, we're living in a historic moment right now. We've always heard about the importance of the election cycle of whatever past moment. But as I see it, none of those were like this one. We're about to see where this ride takes us.

That's alarming because desperate people will resort to DESPERATE MEANS!!!

Ana, you want a great story that blows Mark Cuban right out of the water!!! Mariam Adelson bought out Mark Cuban from the Dallas Mavericks. She is said to be the 5th richest women in America!!! She is Jewish, Mazeltov to you Marian (Mary), she is a doctor, a huge Trump supporter, and has donated up to 100 million dollars to the Trump campaign. She is seen hanging out with Donald J Trump at many of his rallies. She could buy Mark Cuban a hundred times over, how do you like that for a strong, powerful, brilliant woman Mark!!!!! I love smart powerful women!!!

I've been a fan and admirer of the female species all my life and believe they are God's art. I even love the things about them that annoy me as they are all part of the Gestalt (come with the territory). Rock on, ladies, and keep this cosmic dung ball spinning on its axis as the Great Scarab pushes it around the sun.

Very alarming. I think, in a way, Trump has acted as a kind of accelerant (of his opposition) for a process that has been under way for a long time. It was just slow enough and gradual enough that I wouldn't have recognized it, at least not as a younger man. It is jarring to see ostensibly senior and professional people, in such powerful positions, the kind on whom we've always relied for prudence and principle, so readily resort to self-serving and brazen deceit and criminality.

"It is jarring to see ostensibly senior and professional people, in such powerful positions, the kind on whom we've always relied for prudence and principle, so readily resort to self-serving and brazen deceit and criminality."

I've been around for over 3/4 of a century and have been a student of human nature for most of that time.

Ergo, it's no surprise to me and I opined several years ago:

"Every time someone (God, Moses, Jesus, our Founders) creates something wonderful, somebody is there to try to FUBAR it up and frequently it's many somebodies elbowing each other out of the way to be the first and leading millions of mindless followers."

"There is nothing so heinous, you can't find someone or several someones to do it, usually for much less than you'd imagine and frequently for free."

TRUMP/VANCE 2024!

I find it hard to believe Elon has the list that is sealed by the courts. But I bet he has the list of friends from a couple Twitter accounts...

Expand full comment

When Maxwell was sentenced they released a bunch of documents and a list of 180 names that I think were changed. But Trump has openly spoke about releasing the list and from what I understand Elon said if he gets involved with the campaign he insisted on the list being released maybe if and when Trump is elected. I heard they shook hands on it. I think they have the list Sheila as others do as well.

Expand full comment

Wow. I knew over 100 names were released, I read the article listing them, but none that were really anyone anyone knew (witnesses, security people, etc). I hope someone knows and is willing to release it publicly.

Hard to believe, though, that they wouldn't have been leaked already. Especially since X wouldn't ban it.

Maybe "zung..."

But since white men can't jump, and I'm not only white, but also old, another disadvantaged group, what about me on the Mavs? Bet I could out-rebound the short white/Asian chick. And as an extra bonus, I would also shut up and dribble...

Spot on as usual James! Of course we know that you are not confused, we know that Cuban is an idiot.

Trump, to my dismay, allowed Caitlin Jenner, to use the women’s restroom in Trump’s hotel. I hope Trump will be consistent with this policy in his own businesses.

Men in women’s clothing are still men (they used to be called transvestites), so keep them out of women’s restrooms. Men are the protectors of the home, our sons and daughters, , and nation—it’s what God designed us to be.

A female abortion survivor spoke before Congress and other legislatures and said men are called to be great, so fulfill that call by protecting unborn children.

I see one of the cartoons above is sort of a follow-up to yesterday's article, showing a Harris-Walz campaign ad narrated by Julia Roberts.

She (Roberts) and I are about the same age, and I must admit that I, along with much of the rest of the population, fell a little bit in love with her with her breakthrough role in 1990's "Pretty XX Humanoid." But alas, my affection faded to cringe a few years ago after she fawned over Fauci. Ugh.

The new ad just finishes things off for me. If she ever comes to her senses, she'll just have to reach me through my agent.

A betrayal of a different kind, but a betrayal nonetheless.

Until recently, I had gone for years with a mostly conked out DVD player that, weirdly, played only about 10% of my modest movie catalog. I just expected that a new one would cost a few hundred bucks, and I had other priorities. But several weeks ago, I found a plain-jane player for.....$35 at Best Buy. No-brainer. This past week I just tossed a few DVDs in the trash bin, and have my eye on a few more. In egregious cases (most notably George Clooney advocating publicly for forced COVID vaccination), I can no longer separate art from agenda.

Have never understood the devotion to the babbling of clowns many of which have never had an original thought in their lives. What make many good actors is that there is nothing in their heads to compete with what the director wants to put there

Amazing your diet changes over the last few years, doc. Though for slightly different reasons I have similarly slimmed down, along with one of our cats.

When we got our two kittens in 2017 we had just moved out of the city to this hobby farm, trees and fields; end of the road property on a river. No other animals but wild ones-- turkey and deer to bow hunt. The Tom cat stayed slim but girlie fattened up on continuous kibble in the bowls. So, restricted both to 2x a day, then started substituting real meat for most of the kibble. Like the girl cat I slimmed down too. Intestinal issues forced my diet change-- lost 15#. Back to my weight 40 years ago. ALso, we usually only eat twice/day. Unlike years ago when I had 3x meals and by 10:30 am had hunger pangs waiting for lunch, it is not unusual now to see 1 or 2 pm rolling by before it appears it's "time to eat!"

Loved the Friday Funnies! Thank you for taking time to post these gems to make us start the day with a smile. Also great advice about diet. As retired seniors, we seem to eat as a means of entertainment and by the clock rather than our body signaling hunger.

I really like what you said about nutrition and you're spot on about it becoming second nature once the habit is established. My routine is similar, but geared more toward the middle hours of the day and a "window" that often lasts about eight hours. It's one main meal, plus shakes comprising whole food, featuring primarily meat, fruit, and vegetables (it's easy to make them taste good) as well.

Giving up more of the ultra-processed stuff may be tougher in the early going, but once one's body feels like it's on high octane all day, one won't even want to go back to those toxins they were eating before. At least that's the case with me.

I went Keto in 2017 after triple by pass. Fell off during Covid fiasco. Caught latest Covid 2/24 and again 3/24 and ended up with long Covid symptoms. Doctors were less than helpful. Saw woo-woo chiropractor who does muscle testing and gives out tons of herbal and vitamin remedies. She said something I knew but wasn’t doing, “take these, eat low carb, and try intermittent fasting”. Has helped a lot. One other thing, I get fresh vegetables from my Amish neighbors but when I go to the market for anything they don’t have I cringe. The meat is raised in horrible conditions and pumped full of gmo/glyphosate grains and vaccines. I can’t force myself to swallow that stuff anymore. Signed up for one of the small farmer grass fed grass finished organic meat by mail. Worked great. Good food. Never hungry. No shopping!

A chiropractor who does muscle testing can be very accurate and helpful. They need to be clear, but to be able to read what the body is indicating is a key insight.

Good call. Yeah, finding a local farmer or farmer's market is definitely the way to go. We got one not far from where I'm at - lower-priced, higher-quality meat. Definitely can't beat it.

Thank you for today's contribution to our good day!

Your experience with healthy eating rings so true. Remembering your painful gout hobble and a rather frightening picture of discomfort just before you started your new regime. Who needs better proof than your recent marathon addressing farm issues after the horse fight and trailing trip to and from Florida!

i like the Don't step on me (garbage) the best.

The Brownstone weekend sounds delightful. Many great friends and rewarding thoughts.

OFF TOPIC:

Was surprised last night ET, TL, JJ when I learned the Public Heath (WHO, HHS?) have concluded the Covid response was a success! So successful, they have developed a 100-day plan. Lockdown 100 days to vaccination documented with digital verification. Is that what all the new data centers aiming for? I commented to JJ this needs to be exposed to bright sunlight. Hopefully, after the election, that can happen! I couldn't be more concerned or opposed!

Have a great meet and a very positive weekend!

Interesting article this morning relating to banks shutting brick and mortar availability. Only the old want physical access. Then J Tucker has an article on debanking. Maybe only the old are noticing the China social credit system and as it relates to debanking. Just maybe it's an act of intentional resistance. Snarling globalist initiatives as best we can.

Carnivore with small amounts of fruit and vegetables here; yes, feeling more energized while sleeping better also. You have a fantastic day ahead - there is optimism and hope that discipline, knowledge, and increased activity will create healthier lives for many.

I have a inside story, about eating/drinking too much past 9pm.

The stomach and the brain share a red phone hot line link when troubles arise inside the body.

One late night eve around midnight, The stomach has had quite enough of it's owner over stuffing pizza and beer before bedtime then falling poorly asleep. And is very upset and calls the brain.

Upon answering the call the stomach angrily says to the brain...."What the hell do you want me to do with all this junky high carb crap calorie load you just ingested then laid down....We aren't doing anything but laying here?" Where do you want me to put all this food?

To which the Brain says Hmmm....i don't know....you've been doing a "swell job" of it so far!

Ok....got it, said the stomach.....Swell it is!

We, too have been practicing mindful eating. I won't say it's easy and we do enjoy a decadent meal out that includes adult beverages and/or a nice bottle of wine, but they are fewer than years past. Now if I can just start to include mindful movements!

Gizmo is definitely not sedentary! 🤣

“Domesticated animals that aren’t moving around all day searching for food tend to be sedentary, and gain weight just like people.”

My wife of 34 years told me that food was not an emphasis in her family’s life, because of its scarcity, yet they ate nutritious foods without sodas and sugars. When I joined the Army in 1976, I had zero complaints about the food—there were five of us kids, so things could be a little scarce. I thought it was novel to be able to have seconds especially milk in the Army, but we worked it off.

My mom fed us southern style food and we grew up with sodas and chips, but my wife changed a lot of things for me and my children. What a blessed woman!

Thank you Dr. Malone for telegraphing a healthy lifestyle for everyone. It’s never too late to eat properly.
