Back when you had to use a travel agent to make airline reservations, I had to keep telling the gal that it was DULLES International airport and not DALLAS that I wanted to go to. She kept getting it wrong.
What a mostly delightful mix of funnies, once again I see Jill's hand in the mix. And thanks for the inspiration to do indoor gardening, I'm definitely going to check this out, I'm excited because I have so many squirrels and rabbits that have kept me from growing much, and I love plants. I grow orchids that are a delight when they bloom and some with fragrance too! ( the video was great fun) maybe it wasn't Jill's hand?
Fauci is being honored for his humanitarian aid to the people of the world. The stick is that millions and millions of lives were saved by the actions he took! Ventilators! Remdesivir.! No HCQ No Ivermectin! Hoetz confirms this! The nastiest trick of Halloween!
The basic nut that can't be cracked is that the revenue from medical treatment drives the bloated Healthcare system. There are many special interests whose very existence depends on growing the medical system. It has gone from 10% of GDP in 1960 at 54 Billion to 20% of GDP in 2022 and is at 5 TRILLION! Big Pharma is at 500 BILLION. Big Pharma Revenue has grown 100X! The Foxes in the White House/Congress and NIH/CDC/NAIAD etc. are guaranteeing that this will continue to grow a healthcare system that is not working for the benefit of the American citizens. At the same time, the quality of healthcare delivered is on par with Bangladesh, which ranks about 50th on a global scale. Over 50% of the US population has inflammatory disease states due to the policies of Big Agra which is delivering poor nutritional food sources laced with trace toxins pushed by Big Chemo that drives the bloated healthcare system. The Covid con is the ultimate master plan to keep the medical system growing! There is no sign that the RNA injections will be halted because of the death and destruction of the wellbeing of millions and millions of humans here and around the globe. The money and the power are not in the hands of the citizens.
I totally agree that the Pharma-government-Big Tech industrial complex is running the world. I've been working in Medical Imaging in Nuclear Medicine for over 20 years and have seen a huge shift since around 2008 (Obama's entrance) in the way healthcare is delivered. Every patient fits a particular algorithm and drugs/medications/medical equipment are the first line treatments. It's ironic when the hospital's mission statement says ".....to improve the health of people in our region...". If they actually did that, they would put themselves out of business!
I am so thankful for doctors, scientists and other adherents to the Scientific Method and rational, educated thought for staying true to their ethics over the past few years of what feels like an Inquisition. Thank you Dr. Malone!
This morning was half listening to a financial radio show. The hour was devoted to emergent medical tech. One I did pick up on was something charting asthma and sending the info to one's watch. A lot seemed to be designed to facilitate self care via telehealth. One might posit the various industries anticipate great opportunities on the back of Big Ags evils.
We are so lucky to get to share our Great Docs experiences and finds. They have been offering ways to escape all these destructive schemes.
Finding sophisticated ways of measuring ill health doesn't solve the problem. Big Medicine ignores the root causes driven by Big Agra, Big Food and Big Chemo! Sources of growing the bloated medical system.
I got the impression that the equipment diagnostics was intended to initiate remedies with fewer doctor and medical facility interactions. That in some cases (asthma, diabetes, etc) the equipment might initiate the medicine deemed appropriate to address the change.
Not that I'm enthusiastic about such progress. As for big Ag, that's why the workarounds we as individuals can employ are so important.
It is because they want to go to a protocol driven, AI system for telemed and internet med. Sick, in pain? Answer questions on an internet form - which leads to more questions - driven by AI. Then the AI spits out the diagnosis and treatment course. Signed off on by a foreign medical doc - who has passed the American boards. The treatment course is the latest and greatest, on patent meds - which cost much more than the generics.
This is the new business model.
It will not save "us" money, but will make the insurance industry and big pharma even richer.
Your mention here brings to mind why I think hospitals have become so much more dangerous. Hospitalists! My experience with them - foreign born, likely credentialed as you described. Limited expertise, clearly doing a job and with minimal caring for the patients assigned.
Am hoping all of our efforts (we will not comply) will be a major check on the money grubbers plans!
I was just reading a long article on the insurance industry, their extensive individual surveillance via AI and perverse practices. They anticipate AI will facilitate denial of coverage. Then they will devise a system for dealing with claims that will enable them to low ball payouts, delay resolutions so claimants will give up or take minimal payouts (via AI can identify financial hardships). An evil scheme. Match that with medical insurance and the impact of compliance with healthful practices ... frightening.
Yes. We are deficient in medical personnel and that aspect I understand. It doesn't change the medical protocol to treat the symptoms for life and address the root causes and reverse them.
My friends asthma got worse and now has to use two different inhalers. She did not take notice till I said something and she thought the same. She’s had no boosters after those first 2 shots which she didn’t want but her kids wouldn’t let her see the grandkids, if she didn’t. Incidentally her husband also had a TIA which he now thinks was from the Jab.

I have had night-blooming Cereus for many years. A plant was given to my great-great Aunt Cassie when she was a school teacher in the 1930's. Our family has kept it going by rooting cuttings from the original plant. I can attest to the amazing occurrence in the summer when it blooms. I have actually been getting two nights of blooms from different plants but each plant does indeed bloom only one night of the year. They start opening up after dark and the room is filled with the most incredible perfume. I have pictures and will try to figure out how to post here. Their beauty is extraordinary and I am so sad if I happen to be away when they bloom. If I ever have the chance to meet you Dr. Malone, I will bring you a plant.
I honestly did not know there was more than one variety. Mine are in my living room where it is very dry in winter. I have never re-potted them and they suffer from occasional neglect. The leaves are wide and flat. They are in a west-facing window.
I'm not clear if there are more than one variety. My first plant - in Hawaii was a long thing, in a 15" pot where the branches hung over the rim & down. the stems were round which had flat leaves. when it blooms the flowers remind me of Sherlock Holmes pipe. The white flower petals look like feathers to me & the fragrance is wonderful. But as I mentioned the two plants I purchase (from a nursery in LA) have never bloomed. Actually I just hauled the little guy to my desk & the are 2 new leaves that begin as round shoots are both developing the flat leaves. There IS HOPE. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it as I really want this plant to grow & flower.
I've had Aerogardens for years. Started when I lived in a trailer, where space was of the essence. 3 Aerogardens and 1 Gardyn. Did not buy any greens for months when I put them in storage in order to travel.
No, it comes with a small bottle of plant food with the pods and doesn’t use much. It’s by Miracle Grow so not hard to buy a bigger bottle. I find after they start growing it’s the water part that needs replenishing more than the plant food
Thanks! I looked at some videos about it and one lady said even if there are 6 spaces to grow, maybe use half of them for better plant outcomes. Have you adhered to that advice, or was it fine to plant all the spots?
Yes, the second time I used it I only used 4 because it gets crowded like a jungle and needed more water way before the reminder. I’m sure a lot depends on the plant. The good thing was that my pods were 4 years old, so I didn’t think they’d grow, but they did and fast, except the mint took forever.
When we hear that things have been descending for 100 years it’s nothing new. Governments, including our own, have always slow walked socialism into every civilization stripping away individual freedoms. In 1788 James Madison speaking to the Virginia Convention said “since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.” The more things change, the more we see we merely repeat the past. It’s shameful our lazy elected opposition simply sit back with zero real opposition and hand their 1/3 power over to the executive branch and the 1/3 communist controlled Senate. This is another repetition of government not unlike the Weimar Republic in 1933 handing Adolf Hitler complete control of Germany. J.Goodrich
Funny that growing food, or as some call it farming, has/is becoming a revolutionary act. Thank you for reminding us that it can be done anywhere, so true. This Sunday strip helped me recall growing a green bean in kindergarten in a styrofoam cup and how much it impressed upon me the sustainability of my existence. I ate the sprout a few times before transplanting into my soil, allowing it to grow into a bean producing wonder. Good times
In days past, poetry and cartoons were some of the only ways, simple nursery songs for example to say what needed to be said without a sword to chop off your head. Censorship leads to great art with meaning hidden from those who do not understand symbolism... yet they are potent without words. Being able to laugh in the face of what others fear is also a special gift and power that can grow with age and wisdom. Part of it is having lived life fully and thus able to tell others that you don't give a flip what they think anymore. Savor these days of maturity and wisdom instead of fear and depression.
Well, you're the scientist, but my own instincts tell me that soil-less gardening does not grow as healthful a food as soil gardening, because the nutrients and microbes in the soil are a big (natural) element in the final nutritive value of the food. Even if some of those nutrients are added to the water, it's still not really natural, nor is it Nature's delivery system. I believe the organic movement has taken steps to make sure hydroponic foods are not allowed to be labeled "organic." I suppose if one really has no yard space, or even a space for container gardening, then it's better than nothing.
When I was doing some research on hydroponics, I came up with the same conclusion. I prefer the texture and taste of soil grown food. Back to the drawing board on this one...
This is probably true. Unfortunately much of our soil is now tainted in some way. Many of us also like myself can’t get things to grow or the space. This saves me money oftentimes at the store having my own small supply that doesn’t get wasted and end up in the trash.
Try sweet potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes are purple on the outside but white-ish on the inside and taste more like a traditional potato. Sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family and grow well in pots or buckets, has a nice vine so it can be both ornamental and edible
I was given a hydroponic growing kit one year for Christmas from one of our sons… I found out a few years later that he had originally bought to grow pot in a hidden space in his room. I think he thought I’d be amused. I reminded him that the statute of my limitations had not run out yet. Sigh.
I worked as a residential volunteer in the hydroponics tent at the Midway Atoll Fish and Wildlife Refuge about 20 years ago. We had bumper crops of cucumbers, but had a big problem with light infiltration causing the nutrients in the water to grow massive amounts of algae, impacting the other plants we tried to cultivate. How are you able to keep that problem from happening? Curious to hear a solution!! :-)
Good Sunday Strip! Waiting for the Election Infection to start, along with WWIII.! Wondering which will occur first. Mark Levin claimed last night on his show that Democrats Hate America. Beginning to think he may be correct Something has gone wrong with the D party of today.
I note that I was suspended from my Twitter-X account a few weeks ago and despite repeated "appeals" have received no response from X. There was never any explanation why I was suspended. I do not believe anything I did was particularly hostile, I never engaged in any argument with anyone or name-called excepting referring to governmental liars as lying, which they frequently do, and endeavoring to expose their insidious deception tactics. I haven't the slightest idea how many followers I had, although most of them seemed to be fake (teenage Asian girls with nothing in their feeds). I was definitely counter-narrative, and I would like to think, at least occasionally, effectively so. I wonder if other low notoriety people like me, serving to enhance counter-narratives (i.e. truth, rational analysis), are quietly disappearing from this social media source. It would not be unexpected.
Dear Drs Malone, I made it to the second comic which says, This is to limit your carbon footprint 👣,” and said in shock out loud “THAT’S NOT FUNNY!” * and then I read the rest of them and, sigh, a lot of them aren’t funny. True. Insightful. Revealing but not funny. I love you both all the better for it.
* to reduce your carbon footprint, you have to be dead. That was the purpose of the shot for people over 50 and if the stats had been kept as they should have, they could have proven that it was wildly successful. It was just an unfortunate oops that it affected younger people fatally too!
That Austria/Australia blurb reminds why N. Mexico has to add USA to their license plates. Not too complementary to our educational system

We fail at education! We excel at brainwashing. It's embarassing to have been a part of this.
That’s funny, but very sad.

My Michigan plant is not happy like my Hawaiian Cereus. It has never bloomed; the leaves are narrow, not wide & ‘flat’. Maybe they need more humidity?
what’climate’ do yours thrive in?

100 days of potato farming in buckets yielded maybe 6 grape size potatoes. My farming career is officially over today.
I have no luck growing potatoes in containers or bags either.
