I don't care much for small screens or small buttons, so I vastly prefer to review Substack material on my desktop. But I had to go get my phone, which unlike my desktop, still has a "Like" button that works in the comment stream. That's a good one!
In a way he already has. World leaders are recognizing him, Companies are pulling back from China either to the USA or to other countries with more friendly relations re tariffs. Putin and Zelenski also seem to be more amenable to peace talks. Germany want's to buy LNP from the US. DOJ and FBI are shredding documents and wanting to retire.
I’ve been thinking about this awhile myself: whatcha think about Mahthah’s Vinyard. There are already too many entitled wealthy (anti American type) POSs living there already. Take away their helos, mine the waters between them and USofA and let them fend for themselves. Additionally, I’m thinking any of the illegals (invaders all) that can’t be repatriated to their homelands can be deposited on Mahthah’s Vineyard where I’m sure they’ll be welcomed as readily as they were welcomed to the mainland. Perhaps have a few blimps overhead recording all the interactions - the ultimate reality show, ala "The Truman Show."
I do believe the current “resident’s” on/in “Mahthah’s Vineyard” need a cozy, tiny house nation settlement of new “illegals”, & of course, all those rich, fancy-dancy settler’s already there would welcome the illegals with open arms, right? Rename the new settlement “ill-forgotten Wanna-be’s”!
Sounds good- there are so many people that work for the “current regime”, MSM stations’, Hollywood actors; high profile, bad demon-O-crats, that would love to retire all-together-now, on Jeffo’s island!
My great concern is they will side track RFK Jr. again. They can destroy a lot of evidence in two months of how they harmed American citizens at NIH, FDA, CDC and NAIAD. https://thomasabraunrph.substack.com/p/nailed-ad5
It’s something how a critical thinking person, someone with a real open mind, can make connections with physical things that have been done to them over the past 5 years, but some can’t see past what they are fed by MSM.
I know I’ve mentioned several times that at the beginning of Fauci’s vast expanding covid scheme I felt very isolated and alone. I was on my own, wondering how could I possibly get through this? Evil knows how to create and attack weakness. When we feel alone there’s a vulnerability inside of us. Divide and conquer I know was (is) a big part of their plan. Isolation, solitary, makes people weak and vulnerable. It’s much easier to manipulate someone to take a questionable injection if they are isolated and have no means of information. If the whole company is taking it, what’s wrong with you. If you’re not vaccinated you could kill your grandmother. Think of the isolation, dying alone with no family to console you on a hospital bed, is that how you want to end up. Put your mask on.
What they did to people, as we here know, was pure evil!
Now I begin to see the power of assembly, the freedom to gain information through open discussion. It is many times today gained through social media but not long ago and still, it’s shared at a conference or a hall, it could be a pub or a meeting place, it could be at your church. Look at how they went after all those forms of learning critical information and how things now have turned against them, they scurry from the light. Truth has prevailed and we still have our first amendment, with the freedom of speech and the freedom to assemble, and it will become stronger as more truths are exposed. Just watching cnn, msnbc, abc, etc. you can see and feel their fear. Even after their failed schemes to divide us, to isolate us, and their devastating smashing lose in this election these progressive communists still speak of their want to censor, divide, and how democracy is going to die, as though their evil assault on our constitution was democracy. These communists have absolute zero self reflection and we must never never lose sight of that!
Looking back now I realize I was never alone. We all had each other. If I’ve learned anything from Fauci’s scheme it’s the vital importance of community, our 1st amendment, with its freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition our government for the redress of grievances, and of coarse the freedom of religion. Yes the beautiful freedom of religion. Isn’t it something that as a small child I was taught that God sees all, he is always with us, he is always beside us. Sometimes I need to be reminded, we are never alone. Happy Sunday to everyone!! J.Goodrich
Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, he will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.”
There are sub rosa associations that need closer attention. Two examples. A Texas Family court allowed a step-mom to take a kid away from dad to Calif. for gender reassignment. Family courts are to my mind one of the worst inventions of the depraved mind judging by some recently reported decisions.
Then in Maine a whistleblower bill by the Leg. is being opposed by the Principals Assoc. because of the grief it may bring to school boards. If both of these groups were doing what they are paid to do that whistle blower bill would be unheeded. Obviously two failing entities buttressing one another on taxpayers dimes. Too few of these shady alliances are getting the attention they should.
I'm glad that you are no longer feeling alone and isolated. The pandemic was designed to separate us from each other so that we could be easily manipulated. You are so correct. I had a great repulsion of Dr. Fauci in the beginning and it only increased the more I read about him and observed his manipulations. He was an evil little man.
Your scripture verse at the end is so powerful. The verse that I have clung to throughout this election season is 2 Chronicles 7:14.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Thank you, James. Yes, we all had each other. Perhaps we didn't realize it at the time, but we knew God was with us, so we persevered. And here we are, able to speak freely with one another, led by Drs. Malone. What a relief! I just watched the Epoch Times interview, where Dr. Malone spoke with Jan Jekielek. I will forward that to our 32-year-old grandson. Before the election, he expressed some questions to us, regarding who to vote for. He is in an electrician apprenticeship program, and is halfway to his Journeyman status. He was adopted by our daughter and son-in-law about twenty years ago, when his grandmother could no longer care for him. Both his parents were incarcerated in different places. He is half black. Kinda like Obama. Only our grandson, Rodney, is a rational thinker, and doesn't want to be grouped into who the government thinks he should be. Apparently, the electrician's union flat out told its members to vote for Harris. Period. Rodney didn't feel right about it, so he asked us. We explained things to him, (I needn't go into everything, as we all know basically what we told him), and he was very receptive to our advice. I told him about "PsyWar", and he said he would like to read it! I will put a copy in the mail tomorrow, along with a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. (He lives in the same state, but he's a 2-hour drive away.). I will read my copy of the book, along with him, so we can discuss it as we go along.
I am thankfully amazed at finding Dr. Malone, and ultimately this group. I did not take the jab, even though I was 72 during the pandemic. I have a number of drug allergies, so was reluctant to try something that might cause extreme side effects. At least I used that for my "excuse", because I always said I would never take anything the government decided I needed to ingest or be injected with. Most of my family respected my decision, except for our adult son, who called me an anti-vaxxer. He took the jabs and the boosters, and caught Covid more than once. I had a mild case, about two years ago. I've had worse colds!
I just want to thank Dr. Malone for his courage and dedication to Truth. I feel we have a leader in this PsyWar, and the comments from all of you out there fuel my resolve to continue this fight, because we have, indeed, been fighting these forces for many decades. We just didn't have the means to find one another and communicate. For now... They have attacked Drs. Malone, and we are all in their crosshairs, because we speak Truth. But we're here, and we will not be silenced. The last four words of "1984" will not be us!!! Wherever this takes us, I just want to say God bless you all!
I think you would really enjoy the essay that was recommended by Dr. Malone ‘How Trump crushed Obama’s legacy’, there is a link to it in this piece. Really good 👍
Felt the same way, shed many tears. I’m now saddened by the injuries, and the fallout of these shots. My brother included. My grandsons coach’s wife (42) passed a few weeks ago “unexpectedly” of a blood clot. Add this to the Fraudci horrors! Time will continue to show the truth. Praying for all that fell victim to their lies.
Indeed we do! I hope Obama stays out of our lives, but, I believe he & Hillary are going to try & voice their “concerns” somehow, some way, shape or form! NOOOOO WAY!
When Obama was President, he was in America’s face on a daily basis. It was despicable, to say the least. He will be working behind the scenes, but it’s possible that the black voters who were incensed at him implying how they should vote as black men, will haunt him for a long time.
I believe these evil demoncrats are planning something- just listening to Harris speak the day after Trump was declared the winner, she had to add negative verbiage & right away, I thought “their planning something because these evil people” can’t seem to understand the “PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP”- for all that he stands for, & most of us realize what he can, & will do, for America & all those folks that made a decision to Vote for Trump!
Love Joel Salatin!! The Highwire did a great piece on him a while back. His amazing farm and educational opportunities to train more farmers in a very healthy system are an eye opener. So excited to hear his skills will be tapped into with MAHA!!!!! Massie another huge asset and both are folks who know how to get er done!! Great collection again-i am sure you had quite a choice this week LOL!!!!
All these memes about Partners not having sex with you because of Kamala Harris's loss seems somewhat ironic, considering that we would not have ever heard of Kamala Harris if not for her having sex with a certain Willie Brown.
Love the Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny “That’s All Folks”. I’m old enough to remember it at the end of the cartoons! So fitting for Kamala and Tim! Thanks as always for these Sunday Funnies, Drs Malone!
I’m also glad to see I wasn’t the only one who watched the Tim Tampon Waltz hunting video with the words “Kill da wabbit…kill da wabbit” on repeat in my head…
Are we going to have Bon Voyage party for all the Anti-Trumpers that said they would leave the USA if Trump won? They should all leave on a slow boat to China! Meathead should be in charge!
That possum reminded me of the time our two labs found a "dead" possum in the yard. Gave him a sniff, said to each other...he's a goner...and came back in. Then it quit playing possum, scooted on thru the fence and skedattled.
"My favorite congressman, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, has agreed to go in as Secretary of Agriculture."
This seems like a lousy strategy to me. Get (maybe) a narrow House majority and then strip it of the few solid conservatives in the House to briefly populate the administration.
I am trying to determine if he can serve as head of an agency and remain in Congress. Also, whether the governor chooses his replacement or there would be a special election in KY. He ran unopposed in 2024 - so this is a very red district. I think due to his just being re-elected, there would have to be a special election.
I assume that a Cabinet position would be considered a full-time job. It has been treated that way in every case that I can recall (at the moment). I don't know about Kentucky (which has a Democrat as Governor) but many states allow a Governor to replace a Congressional member on a temporary basis while mandating a special election at the next available general election opportunity.
There was a special session/legislative action not too long ago in KY dealing with this issue should either McConnell or Paul need a replacement. As a result the Democrat Gov was cut out of the ability to appoint a (dem) replacement - that ability is nor reserved to the (very "red") legislature. Ergo, the house majority should be safe.
Personally, much as I detest the lack of term limits I also think most, if not all, these positions could be filled from the "private" sector
It is a different House majority without Massie than with him, depending, of course, on his replacement. I consider Massie to be the best, most thoughtful, conservative member of Congress, House or Senate.
The most went with thoughtful. I also admire Chip Roy. There are others who are conservative (probably equally), but don't seem to be capable of thoughtful.
Hopefully the Democratic Governor will not be able to appoint his successor.
BTW: Speaking about Kentucky. Can’t wait till Mitch McConnell goes to the back of the room, and stripped of any authority as a Senator. I am appalled that the other GOP Senators allowed him to remain in power this long. He was a full throttle RINO. If the GOP in the Senate continues this type of shenanigans, then they are not serious about getting us back on course.
I don’t think it should be done, even if it were allowed (which I doubt). If it were allowed then a member of Congress who was an agency head (or any involvement) would be dealing with divided loyalties; is s/he a member of the Legislature or a part of the Executive? While I wouldn’t describe the relationship between the two as combative (usually?) they also should not be sleeping together (or inhabiting the same meat sack).
This goes to the core of my argument for repealing the 17th amendment - two approaches to the legislature holding separate but complementary powers beholden to the same body politic: The People. As designed, the Senate was beholden to the States while the House pimped itself out to popular sentiment. Now both houses are filled with whores that do what they can to curry favor from The People. The only thing worse than what we currently have would be elimination of The Electoral College. {this escaped my notice but I’m now looking into the electoral vote mechanism in ME & NE - interesting}
Typically, if a Senator leaves office before his or her term is up, the Governor of the state appoints the replacement to serve the remainder of the term. If the Governor is a Republican, you can be sure the replacement Senator will be a Republican too.
I'm not sure what the procedure is for Congressmen.
I was at Barnes and Nobles yesterday and asked the clerk if they had Donald Trumps new book on how to deport illegal aliens.
She immediately looked up at me and said “Get the f- -k out of here and never comeback”.
I said “Yes that’s the one, do you have it in paperback?”
😬😬😬
Too funny 😁 😂 😀 🤣 😆
James, I’m sending you my ER bill - I think I busted a gut.
Sorry about that SR Miller it’s good to have a nice laugh again!!
I don't care much for small screens or small buttons, so I vastly prefer to review Substack material on my desktop. But I had to go get my phone, which unlike my desktop, still has a "Like" button that works in the comment stream. That's a good one!
Thanks James!!!
Loves me my Qwerty Board with fat finger wide space.
Along with 27 wide rectangle monitor.
And just had my vision total Optom-check up.
Doctor says "really no change" from 2017.
That year being my previous check up.
Bingo....Now I have a nice new bench mark @ 72.
Happy Boi!!!

Choice 😊
🤣
I'm crying . . . need that.
Good one, James! Lol!
🤣🤣🤩🤩
HA-HA-HA!!!! Love it!
😂
11/10/24: I told this one to my bookie today. He didn't get it.
Doh!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is hilarious! I had to pass it on!
She should be fired!
My favorite is the last one. "Can Trump start tomorrow? The position has been empty for awhile! " So perfect. So disturbing.
There is a lot of time for the administrative state to do great damage.
In a way he already has. World leaders are recognizing him, Companies are pulling back from China either to the USA or to other countries with more friendly relations re tariffs. Putin and Zelenski also seem to be more amenable to peace talks. Germany want's to buy LNP from the US. DOJ and FBI are shredding documents and wanting to retire.
Yes. He started Wednesday!
Absolutely! After shredding documents, those criminals need an island to retire on; hmmmm, where could they go to hide?

Oh yes, even better! Lock ‘em all up on Alcatraz!
On the CA coast. Newsom would just let the out.
Epstein Island, perhaps?

True!
Too many bad actors and I don't just mean in "Hollyweird!"
Oh, we know the “playlist of bad actors”!!! You are right!
Hmmm, I guess Ukraine is out. Antarctica?
Send them to Gaza

Obama's 4th term has been cancelled. We now return to your regularly scheduled sanity.
Indeed we do! I hope Obama stays out of our lives, but, I believe he & Hillary are going to try & voice their “concerns” somehow, some way, shape or form! NOOOOO WAY!

Patricia, I am not going to be too confident until we successfully get to inauguration day!!!
These satanical demons 😈 are already planning to NOT seat him!!!
I believe these evil demoncrats are planning something- just listening to Harris speak the day after Trump was declared the winner, she had to add negative verbiage & right away, I thought “their planning something because these evil people” can’t seem to understand the “PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP”- for all that he stands for, & most of us realize what he can, & will do, for America & all those folks that made a decision to Vote for Trump!
You can take it to the bank for sure!
We need to fight this evil 😈 with prayer, the only effective way
Trump is birth control for the liberal women‼️
Yay‼️‼️
No more liberals ‼️‼️
and they have, unwittingly, taken the issue of abortion out of the equation.
Zinger Heaven Docs!
Hey Dems - time to get to root causes:
What came first: the weak man or the angry woman?
Don't tell them that! I hope that they don't realize that!!!

Although the Joel Salatin blog writes about Massie accepting, there isn't confirmation on that.
Are we going to have Bon Voyage party for all the Anti-Trumpers that said they would leave the USA if Trump won? They should all leave on a slow boat to China! Meathead should be in charge!

My kind of woman. Give her a cabinet position.

"My favorite congressman, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, has agreed to go in as Secretary of Agriculture."
This seems like a lousy strategy to me. Get (maybe) a narrow House majority and then strip it of the few solid conservatives in the House to briefly populate the administration.
I am trying to determine if he can serve as head of an agency and remain in Congress. Also, whether the governor chooses his replacement or there would be a special election in KY. He ran unopposed in 2024 - so this is a very red district. I think due to his just being re-elected, there would have to be a special election.
I assume that a Cabinet position would be considered a full-time job. It has been treated that way in every case that I can recall (at the moment). I don't know about Kentucky (which has a Democrat as Governor) but many states allow a Governor to replace a Congressional member on a temporary basis while mandating a special election at the next available general election opportunity.
Here's a Ballotpedia article about how legislators are replaced throughout the US: https://ballotpedia.org/How_vacancies_are_filled_in_state_legislatures
Kentucky uses special election: https://ballotpedia.org/How_vacancies_are_filled_in_state_legislatures#Kentucky
There was a special session/legislative action not too long ago in KY dealing with this issue should either McConnell or Paul need a replacement. As a result the Democrat Gov was cut out of the ability to appoint a (dem) replacement - that ability is nor reserved to the (very "red") legislature. Ergo, the house majority should be safe.
Personally, much as I detest the lack of term limits I also think most, if not all, these positions could be filled from the "private" sector
It is a different House majority without Massie than with him, depending, of course, on his replacement. I consider Massie to be the best, most thoughtful, conservative member of Congress, House or Senate.
MIGHT concede more thoughtful but MORE conservative than Chip Roy?
The most went with thoughtful. I also admire Chip Roy. There are others who are conservative (probably equally), but don't seem to be capable of thoughtful.
Look at the leadership vacuum they have labored under.
Hopefully the Democratic Governor will not be able to appoint his successor.
BTW: Speaking about Kentucky. Can’t wait till Mitch McConnell goes to the back of the room, and stripped of any authority as a Senator. I am appalled that the other GOP Senators allowed him to remain in power this long. He was a full throttle RINO. If the GOP in the Senate continues this type of shenanigans, then they are not serious about getting us back on course.
I don’t think it should be done, even if it were allowed (which I doubt). If it were allowed then a member of Congress who was an agency head (or any involvement) would be dealing with divided loyalties; is s/he a member of the Legislature or a part of the Executive? While I wouldn’t describe the relationship between the two as combative (usually?) they also should not be sleeping together (or inhabiting the same meat sack).
This goes to the core of my argument for repealing the 17th amendment - two approaches to the legislature holding separate but complementary powers beholden to the same body politic: The People. As designed, the Senate was beholden to the States while the House pimped itself out to popular sentiment. Now both houses are filled with whores that do what they can to curry favor from The People. The only thing worse than what we currently have would be elimination of The Electoral College. {this escaped my notice but I’m now looking into the electoral vote mechanism in ME & NE - interesting}
I had a comment on Twitter writing that Massie hasn't confirmed this.
The linked article about Obama in UnHerd is very good. Thank you!
If Trump puts congressmen and senators on his cabinet, doesn't that take away his thin margins in congress?
Been worrying about the same thing.
Senators is not as pressing. House is a bit more concerning.
Typically, if a Senator leaves office before his or her term is up, the Governor of the state appoints the replacement to serve the remainder of the term. If the Governor is a Republican, you can be sure the replacement Senator will be a Republican too.
I'm not sure what the procedure is for Congressmen.
Outstanding Sunday Strip!
