I wanted to share an analogy between pick up trucks and guns.

Does a bullet or a rifle care who or what it shoots? Does the shape of a gun, which has a trigger, firing pin, chamber and barrel care who or what it shoots?Does it make a difference what color or what style a gun is if a bullet shot from it blows a hole in you?

I saw some pictures of the pick up truck used to mow down countless people, killing 14 and injuring dozens in New Orleans. I noticed that it was a “white Ford pick up truck” that killed the people. By gun banners logic, you know, our braindead liberal politicians, shouldn’t we conclude that all white Ford pick up trucks be outlawed, (??) because it was a white Ford pick up truck that killed the 14 and injured dozens. If white Ford pickup trucks had been outlawed no one in that crowd in New Orleans would ever have been killed on New Years morning; Right? We all would be much safer. How many more Mr. Speaker, have to be killed by white Ford pick up trucks before this legislature takes action?

You see it’s not the person behind the steering wheel, or how the fbi time after time miss the obvious posts put on social media, it’s how restricting the vehicle that killed by its make, model or color that makes us so much safer. Is this not the brilliance of the left’s policy placing restrictions on our 2nd amendment based on the color and the style of a gun, Brilliant?

A few years back I heard a female Democrat House of Representative member stand on the house floor to introduce her bill that would stop allowing the manufacturing of the AR-15 magazines. She said with this bill once the magazines are emptied the gun will become unusable. Do you see the absolute ignorance of the people that lord over us! These morons that make laws restricting our God given rights have no idea what they speak of, but yet we allow them to create laws when they have no f’n clue what they are restricting. AR-15 magazines, as I’m sure most of you know, can be refilled with bullets, over and over again. In principle this is like giving a community organizer the power to rewrite and take control of our entire healthcare system and expect success, (how’s that been working for us).

When will we learn that “Those that are willing to give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety (by idiots) deserve neither liberty nor safety”. (Ben Franklin 1755).

I seem to remember G.W. Bush signing into law the Patriot Act giving the FBI unconstitutional powers to spy on citizens without warrants. This they promised would be the magic “bullet” that would stop terrorism and keep us safe here at home. Time after time none of these attacks are stopped, but nearly 1500 citizens faced charges and almost 500 still rot in jail for legally protesting in DC. J.Goodrich

You are 100% correct and your statement should be posted every time an ignorant politician opens their mouth about "gun control", instead of addressing the problem of criminals who see no penalties for their actions.

Same argument Bernie Sanders made against suing gun companies years ago. His point was if a person can sue a gun company because guns kill then wouldn't thar open up the arena to sue thr mfg. Company of anything used to kill. He was right.

I do agree with Bernie, which maybe the only issue I agree with him. But I guess my point is banning a gun for the reason of its looks. Why does it matter what the weapon looks like? They all fire bullets that can kill so this is what I’m trying to point out. I realize it a slow roll to ban one at a time, like this movement towards communism, slow and steady.

I think it was Charlottesville where someone used a rental vehicle to kill a woman. The car rental company I was using was advocating against guns because they can be misused. I wrote to the rental company about the terrible danger of rental vehicles and suggested that to be consistent they should advocate for making them illegal. Never heard back.

Also note - it was an ELECTRIC F-150. Because it is silent. So the crowd cannot hear the murderer gun the engine to drive at them. Outlaw electric white Ford trucks!

Some heard the isis flag flying on the truckbed, and the screams of innocent people being mashed.

Others heard "Allah Akbar" as he crushed skulls and bodies below. This was an obvious white supremacist attack, cause Joe Biden said 50 year old white guys are the only real threat to 'merica

It always seems the people who are afraid of guns (liberals) are the ones who don't want anyone to own one.

The white Ford pick up was an EV; I'm not opposed to banning all EVs :)

Expand full comment

I’m not opposed either. It’s the fact they pick on AR-15’s because of its look. If you get shot with an AR-15, a 30/30, hell a 22 in the right spot your dead. He could have drove a Prius through that crowd at 40 miles an hour and killed 14. My point was AR-15, 30/30, 22, shot gun, all can kill you they go after the AR because of what it looks like, like a white ford pickup is different than a suburban or a Volkswagen Atlas, they all can kill people, and that was my point. I’m sure that electric truck weighed 10000 pounds. They are beasts!!! Raw power.

Agree James. I am an avid gun owner, and any of them are deadly. Heck, I also own antique swords, a few WWII rifles and a crossbow; any of them will kill too.

Yes, the battery packs weigh thousands of pounds. That’s a lot of momentum for energy transfer to unfortunate bodies in the way.

These attacks on citizens are allowed, or promoted intentionally, whether with a vehicle, or a firearm.

Trumps attempted attacker, and these two most recent events (Tesla dumpster and new orleans Ford) all have military connections, and possible MKultra backgrounds.

They all are intended to sway public opinion, create discord, and ultimately widen the ever increasing parameters intp, and towards overall control of the populace, plebes, citizens of each country. This propagandist effort is through deceptive "Hegelian Dialec" type of problem, reaction, solution scenarios.

The 2nd ammendment was initiated to thwart efforts to enslave the people in which their Constitutional rights, being whittled down, could defend.

Keep whittling away, and maybe one day, long after I'm dead, you can have your Tyrranical attempts succeed.

👍. Good luck, till then

Don’t worry, give them time - they want to ban trucks too. Has anyone noticed that Costco no longer sells Solo plastic knives? They dropped those when the knife attack happened in the UK.

Boycott Costco. Costco supports DEI policies.

Presidential pardons, roughly 12,000 vs 2,000 implies outrageous corruption embedded in the Democratic Party, the bulk of which lies with Obama/Biden admins. DJT has a mandate to drain the swamp. The Kenyan should be first on the list.

Eggs. Love'em.

Wife's on her annual international (long) trip, so I've been baching it. Been on a boiled egg binge. Have relearned that boiling eggs as a ready-to-eat meal is really NOT a timesaver over scrambling. Oh, and with really fresh eggs, the shells cling to their contents like decrepit politicians hanging onto office.

We read something recently, only use one week old eggs to boil. The shells fall off, when they are not fresh.

I couldn’t comment on the Mid-western Doctor posts due to not being a member of his or his substack, however… I wanted to say the following:

"I thank Dr. Malone for sharing this. One of the things I have come to understand is that we are at a nexus of faith and politics. Coming from one half of the family being secular Jewish and the other culturally Christian, and myself now being Christian, I can see where all of these things collide. Most of the people heavily involved in this movement are either religiously or culturally Torah Jewish or Christian, both of these faiths have traditionally had a strong understanding ‘doing what is right, in God’s eyes’, a strong sense of justice and helping their fellow man. So, 'whistle blowers' are going to be those who have a strong sense of what is right and wrong. Other nations decided to use traditional vaccines (not mRNA) for their populations, because their leaders actually care about their citizens… and do not want to take unnecessary risks with their populations. Eugencists, however, are evil and see themselves as gods.

Our current situation, geo-political situation, is that the people living in the region known as Israel are in a difficult situation… they both fear for their continued existence and have sought to eliminate their perceived enemies. The people around them, who are not political or religiously motivated, would just like to continue on living in peace. The UN sees the US and *Israel* as obstacles to world peace (and not altogether wrong), but is now run by those who do not have either Christianity or Torah Judaism as it’s driving ideology. Globalism without biblical truths will end up in not respecting the individual or God.

If MAHA is moral, it seeks the greatest good for all peoples… if it is a ruse for something else, we all eventually will loose. Peace be with you.”

This is a simplistic deduction, but I think (probably) a good miles' high understanding.

All this being said, I have also run up against many Jewish people (some in my family included), sadly, who believe themselves either socially or religiously superior to ‘gentiles’… and that is also scary. I do not want a 'Jewish state' to become that which it criticized after WW2. We must see humanity through God’s eyes… as valuable…having intrinsic worth.

Here is further proof about private planes and Climate fraud.

Herr Al Gore, a well known Comedian......is the father of the carbon credit.

Al Gore's family made most of their money with Occidental Oil Company.

The present is rooted in the past. The Democrats love the coal industry, take the well known comedian Al Gore for example.

Occidental's coal interests were represented for many years by attorney and former U.S. Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., among others. Gore, who had a longtime close friendship with Hammer, became the head of the subsidiary Island Creek Coal Company, upon his election loss in the Senate. Much of Occidental's coal and phosphate production was in Tennessee, the state Gore represented in the Senate, and Gore owned shares in the company. So much for the fake concern about Global warming?

Gore was already being hailed as a candidate to become the world's first carbon billionaire. Question will the real Al Gore stand up

Gore himself is an oligarch. His father, Al Gore, Sr., was a close friend of Armand Hammer, the oil tycoon behind Occidental Petroleum. After losing a Senate race in 1970, Gore's father went to work for Hammer at Occidental for $500,000 a year. Over the course of his career, Gore, Sr. accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Occidental Petroleum stock, which fell into the hands of the executor of his estate at the time of his death: none other than his son, Al Gore. The Occidental connection does not end there. Discovering zinc ore on their Tennessee estate, Hammer bought the Gores' land and sold it back to them with a claim on the mining rights, complete with a $20,000 annual payment, which also went to Gore after his father's death.

In 2013, Gore earned $100 million from the Qatari government on the sale of his "Current TV" venture, and then was surprised when reporters were more interested in discussing his oil money than his new book on the global warming cause.

Al Gore's man made global warming/Climate change theory is best described as " a beggar, wrapped in purple, whom ignorant people mistook for a king." Their theory is a mass of errors and deceptive ideas and opposed to common sense.

People knock drawstring string trash bags as apparel for formal dinners out, but I'm one for pragmatism. With cutout holes for head and arms, I can enjoy my meal with the peace of knowing that my tie and lapels are protected from splattering food stains. Some are lemon-scented. And cinching around the waist, I even look svelte. Sure, dinner companions are exasperated and apparently embarrassed to be seen with me. But I think they're being just a little too fragile, don't you?

Well as usual that which starts with one good idea always disentegrates into misuse. Feminism was supposed to be a champion for women being paid equally for the same jobs. Then, once that was achieved, it couldn't stop until it determined that women are actually, not just as good, but better. So, now we have rabid feminism which is a snake eating its own tail - and dead silent on the abuses of women in their own sports. Predictable!

That wholesale pardon of Carter's was for more than draft evaders. It also pardoned many military including some real nasties, we (wife and I) assumed he did so as to clean the record of his kid who had a less than honorable for weed possession. We mailed our honorary discharge certs to the DOD in protest of this outrage and denigration of those certificates.

Presidential cognition is a big subject now...and the media hid the truth for years The cartoon with Biden sitting on the examining table with the doctor sitting there... hit the nail on the head...When Biden asked what he could do to protect himself?.. The doctor replied,"Duct tape." There has never been a president who has made so many gaffes, as Biden, each time he opened his mouth

Biden's lack of cognition makes one question all those pardons. . Biden obviously was unable to even remember people's names. Jill was the one who pushed for Hunter's pardon according to what I read. The pawn in the White House was controlled by Obama who was controlled by Soros. Many would like to know who else made decisions for this senile faux president?

Carbon Cycle: Humans are carbon based life forms.

Carbon is the most important element of life and is the backbone of every known biological molecule. About 18% mass composition of the human body is composed of carbon, Oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body with about 65% mass.

Carbon is a primary component of all known life on Earth, and represents approximately 45–50% of all dry biomass. Carbon compounds occur naturally in great abundance on Earth. Complex biological molecules consist of carbon atoms bonded with other elements, especially oxygen and hydrogen and frequently also nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur (collectively known as CHNOPS).

Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass, after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon's widespread abundance, its ability to form stable bonds with numerous other elements, and its unusual ability to form polymers at the temperatures commonly encountered on Earth enables it to serve as a common element of all known living organisms.

*****************************************************

It is called the "carbon cycle" and "water cycle" of nature: Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called "carbon cycle" and photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water.

Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules. In return plants exhale oxygen which allows you to breathe. We and the ecosystems need more C02, not less.

The reason why the CO2 atmosphere theory can never work is that the Ocean-atmosphere interface controls the amount of CO2 in air – a warmer ocean (which holds 50x more CO2 than the atmosphere) emits CO2 and vice versa. This is very basic physics*.

Taking a cold can of soda and watch it warm up and it will give off CO2.

CO2 is actually a planet-saving nutrient that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more nutritious, healthy plants and ecosystems. Prove it to yourself at home - soda, place it on the table, if you let it warm up it will give off CO2.

The sea is a 'buffer' solution of many salts so anything added has even less effect.

There are other reasons why CO2 warmest theory must fail: a) the surface cooling effect of plants b) Non equilibrium thermodynamics in the atmosphere - i.e. the assumptions of the ‘theory’ are nonsense. *Henry's Law.

Lordy, it’s been nearly 4 hrs — has everyone else been out ineffectively removing warm snow?

I cannot wait until we get this weather control thing under control. It’s not that I dislike winter (yeah, I know, I live in Montana) I just dislike 6 months of winter. Further, warm snow is suppose to fall in October, not January
