There is so much to this life, that’s “seen” and “unseen”. It’s difficult to understand all the unseen, I only know that trying my very best to do what is right and working as hard as I can somehow and in someway seems to allow all of my ends to meet. It feels at times, with me, when things may look shaky with business, I’m nervous about the next job coming, the bills are stacking up and I’m praying for that check to finally show up, I can’t help but feel someone is watching over me. I land a job, a new customer calls, or the check finally arrives.
I found out just the other day the electrician from that large contract I’ve had for almost 40 years was the one that brought a crew of illegals in to do a small job behind my back and it seems this was a small part of why they haven’t been calling me lately. Instead of him saying to “stick with me”, he broke the circle all of us contractors there have kept for all of these years. Sometimes one door closes for a reason, and other doors may open.
I just yesterday was speaking to a younger friend/contractor I’ve known since we were kids and said I forgave Mike for stabbing me in the back before I even knew what took place. I guess the small job done was a nightmare, they botched everything they touched. And it’s not the bad job that was done that matters to me, back before I even knew the job was happening I had got a new customer and renovated a house for their daughter. They since have used me on a couple of other projects, we’ll see where this new road takes me.
Being married to an OR nurse is one part of my life where I get to see the “seen”, angels among us. They say regular people are often used by God as angels. The children these people fix and heal is nothing short of miracles they perform everyday. I had told you of a nurse, Annie, that had recently passed away at 55 years old. Yesterday her family held the memorial service for her. Annie was a good person she always befriended the newer and maybe the weaker people at the hospital. As in most large OR’s there are many personality conflicts and my wife’s job was no exception to that rule. But at the memorial service for Annie these angels that are plain to see every day of the week, all showed up, as they always do, and supported Annie’s family. I’m sure Annie has crossed over and is now in the hands of the Lord, rest in peace Annie. J.Goodrich
Sorry you had to deal with a sparky gone bad, but the reliability of sub contractors is precisely why I no longer do renovations for anyone but myself.
Being burned by a sub had devastating effects on my renovation company I owned, during the early stages of my self employment venture, I started more than 22 years ago. It not only lost me several, super wealthy clients, but also their friends, and family. This is why I almost never recommend any specific contractor to anyone, for anything. This is also why I currently, and will always, work alone, as long as I remain in biz for myself.
And then there are the Amish neighbors who show up in groups and put a 4,000 sq ft shop up finished perfectly in 4 days. It’s the culture! Find people of character who put God , family and community first and you won’t have to do everything alone by yourself!
my neighbor, a GC, as he got closer to 55 or so, did the same. Dumped all his subs for the same reason. One, he called him DIRTY DICK, was the drywall man. A real "dead-ender" as my Dad would say.
He came to work drunk sometimes, always drank with beer in his truck at the end of the day, as I recall. One time he cussed out the homeowner(!) for no apparent reason "up one side and down the other" as they say. Half million dollar house.
The thing is he’s not my sub he works directly for the business. My electrician would never do this. The strange thing is Mike the electrician is the one that originally told me about the job, of coarse after the fact. He just left out that it was him that brought these illegals in. Kind of a double stab and twist!!! I’ve done this business so much, pulling permits for other work, getting building permits through because I went to school with the building inspector for 14 or so years, pushing jobs through zoning and the planning board etc… trust he may have done me a favor. The kids are starting to take over and they are taking every dime out of the business they can. They’ll be fine and I’ll be fine. Sometimes you get what you give and the kids don’t have a lot of friends.
FYI: Trump’s Secret Weapon for Mass Deportations: E-Verify
"E-Verify is a federal service created 28 years ago that employers can use to confirm employees’ eligibility to work in the United States through the Department of Homeland Security. It stems from the 1986 Reagan amnesty law, which banned employers from knowingly hiring illegal aliens and later gave them a tool to enforce it. While hardly a silver bullet, it’s free, fast, and effective."
“If you aren’t for E-Verify, you aren’t serious about controlling immigration,” says border expert Mark Krikorian, who heads the Center for Immigration Studies. The system works through deterrence. A sign on the door indicating a fast-food restaurant uses E-Verify is “a signal to illegal job-seekers that they should apply elsewhere,” he explains.
Some 75% of the illegal migrant population in the U.S. is in the labor force. Without jobs, most of them will leave. This happened after the 2008 recession when the illegal immigrant population fell by 1 million amidst a devastated U.S. economy. Encouraging them to self-deport is the cleanest, most efficient way to remove them from the country.
Stop subsidizing them (cut off all government funds), require E-verify for every employee without a USA birth certificate , refuse renting to anyone who is also unable to be verified and 15 million of the 20 million will go home. The rest are criminals so just jail them till you can deport them.
I knew a man at church who built houses, and to my knowledge did not hire illegals, but told me that the Hispanics he hired, he had to be on the site every day to ensure quality and that they were actually working—he says their work was shoddy, and it shows up after a person purchases the house—“high end” houses at that. 🙄
Hopefully ICE will be visiting construction sites in 15 days and counting, and hopefully contractors will pay the price for shoddy low paying work, which displaces Americans, and not the consumer.
Ice will be delayed a year or more, from visiting anyone, but the really bad guys and gals theyre aware of. No easy task in itself, with 25 to 30 million, or more brought in over the last 4 years
Businesses will have essentially a grace period to straighten themselves out.
Next door to a strip shopping center I was doing in Henderson, NV an apartment building was under construction. One day I hear from the site, "immigration". Belts dropped and bodies fled like flies from DDT. Contractor was left high and dry and none of those illegals ever came back for their tools. Another job doing a strip center our temp power co. had a problem with a permit and the 'illegal' framers showed up to start building. No compressors for nail guns, so they were pounding nails with framing hammers. It was taking as many as 12-16 pounds of a nailhead to drive one home, when a talent framer would do it in two. 18 'framers' who did not know a word of English and one foreman who. It was a nightmare getting the center framed.
I'm an engineer, designed my dream home in 2016 and GC'd it out myself. First time.
I figure about 20% of the subs were "good". The sparky seemed good at first but kind of went nutso on me at one point. He failed to completely read my email reply to his leading question: "Aren't you gonna' pay me?!" Further, concluding in error but then also, responding in haste and with quite the bit of venom, he "yelled":
Oh .. . I can't even repeat it-- too vile. . . vicious.
then!,
I got a text he was immediately on his way. . . called 911, figuring death was near!
but, a mixup and it was merely a coincidence his electrician was coming to finish off something.(not me!) Eventually, they completed the job, paid contract in full but GEEZ!
I was glad his part was completed, man. He was Tonga's size.
'Ats why I burned out supering for the big boys, 'lying subs'. Lived in several areas of the country and with each move would work for a large co. After three years with a company I would have tested for my own license. Was like a monkey; monkey see, monkey do, so ended up doing all the trades well and wasn't about to lie to myself.
I am sure we could have a great time together, swapping similar stories and maybe a beer or two by a camp fire. I sure have had similar experiences. Was a Millionairre now struggling to get "back up".
Les, I’d love to sit down with you some day and have a beer. Things seem to be changing my friend! Trudeau resigned today! People have had it. I’m sure he has some Bolshevik tricks up his sleeve but I hope this spreads to your neck of the woods. Keep a beer cold for me!!
Here was a video from last year in which Rep. Matt Gaetz escorted a camera crew through the halls of Congress, went right to the office doors of fellow members, and accused them of insider trading. Bipartisan. Surprisingly, he named AOC as an unlikely ally in the effort.
Can't say whether all the allegations made against Gaetz in the congressional investigation into his past behavior are phony. But I wonder if there's an element of retaliation at work here.
It seems that the allegations against Gaetz are surface and the committee did not do a deep dive into them, nor did they allow him or the DOJ to explain why he was never charged. The fact they did not allow the public to know his side of the allegations, is Tyrannical to say the least, but it shows that corruption exists in the Republican Party.
I watched that video when it came out on Glenn Beck's BlazeTV, I kept trying to read the board that was up with names on it with $$$s next to the names, could not quite make them out.
Who buys fresh parsley? I'm not a fan of cilantro. I did make the mistake once of buying a cucumber and did not see my mistake until I was peeling it to cut and steam. I was in my twenties at the time. My folks never bought cucumbers.
Parsley is one of the main ingredients in tabbouleh, a salad that’s a staple in Lebanese and Syrian cuisine. It’s great with pita bread and often served alongside hummus and baba ghanoush.
Parsley a main ingredient, wow! Old wives tales has it if chewed after a meal it helps the digestion or something like that. When I was much, much younger, a parsley sprig always adorned a dinner plate in a restaurant. One never ordered it!
Reminder: Joe Biden gave Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros – A Man who admitted having “No Remorse” for being Nazi collaborator and stealing property from Jews going to Nazi death camps (VIDEO)
It's an insight into the mind of the foremost influencer of the past 100 years who as a Jew has no regret assisting the Nazi SS with exterminating Jews during WW2. Is he evil? You be the judge and comment below.
On Saturday, Steve Bannon called on Trump to rescind this medal from Soros and, “Rip it from his neck!”
Steve spoke out for the MILLIONS of Americans who couldn’t on Saturday.
Steve Bannon: "My recommendation to President Trump is that you notify today that you’re going to sign an executive order on Monday, one of the very first action, is to rescind the presidential medal of freedom that’s being given to George Soros today. Rescind it. They’re going to say, Well, you can’t rescind it.
Okay, well, fine. Try me. And send a team to track down source and take the metal back. It is a disgrace that a demonic individual like that has gone out of his way to try to destroy this country, destroy this country, would actually be given to mock this Constitutional Republic, to mock this Constitutional Republic, which he hates and is dedicated his life to destroying."
Loved the math video. The ending is perfect. Loved the funny “ unvaccinated, conservative “ also the gun toting family. Thank you for making me laugh today. Have a great day!
I might add that Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading. Hmmm there might be a reason why all Congress are millionaires. Also I have gone to the grocery store and grabbed parsley instead of cilantro.
I watched a video about an attorney telling people not to talk to the police etc., even if you think you did nothing wrong. Evidently, Martha Stewart said something that incriminated herself, and Michael Flynn was framed the same way by the FBI.
I just had grabbed a bunch without really looking . The grocery store puts them together. I’m more careful now. You can’t make fresh salsa with parsley. Yuck!
Drs Malone! How in the world do you manage to out do yourselves each week with all these “spot on” funnies! The math video has always been one I watch each time it is posted anywhere. Have never seen the Shrek video before. Love it! I’m wondering if the insider trading that Congress has advantaged itselves of all these years will ever be contained? My goodness, the Trump team has so much work to do! And they’ll be fighting the Dems every step of the way. Stay warm, stay safe Malone’s. We need you!
Not just insider trading. Sen Kerr from Okla co-owned the Kerr-McGee energy company and served on a committee that made it convenient to swoop in and buy up land on the cheap where new dams were to be built providing lo-cost energy--that and other convenient info.
The story of the person who lived in China saying that the Chinese never listened to the news...they knew it was all propaganda...rang a bell. I know many relatives and others who watch the news and believe everything they hear. They all got the vaxes which wipe out brain cells...so they will probably never wake up!
Unfortunately, the woman being censored with the tape over her mouth is bringing back memories of twitter before its new wave of freedom of speech iteration, it is "suppsedly" under now.
Unfortunately, what goes around, sometimes comes back, more invigorated than previously experienced.
Word now is Elon is censoring anything he disagrees with on his platform, and if this turns out to be true, not only will he be "unfollowed", but we potentially lose another 1st ammendment, virtual town square.
Since I am personally not on X, it will not directly affect me negatively.
I read a lot of X. As usual, people WANT to hate Elon. He is trying not to censor but to encourage thoughtful debate. Example: I write a paragraph explaining some idea I have that contradicts the original narrative. A post pops up calling me a F*clung Karen. That comment is a regretted moment because it does nothing (except attempt to insult). I mute those but the algorithm is now deboosting them so I can see legitimately reasonable posts first. As a result several people replied to my post with some fairly thoughtful criticism. There is NO perfect AI algorithm (despite what everyone hopes). There will always be rough bumps in the road. Elons attempt to make for fewer unregretted minutes reading through hundreds of comments (many of which are inscrutable at best) is a lovely effort. I hope it works.
Alternative Math !! I have a friend and neighbour who is just as spunky as this teacher and she is consistently trying to expose our City Hall for its inability to understand finance. I will send this video to her. She will get a kick out of it.

Thank you for the Sunday Smiles!
P.S. I'll be borrowing/stealing some of these for my Substack (with attribution of course).
Sunday strip was good as usually. Loved the math video. She got her just desserts!! The first meme was good too. Would ban insider trading!!

I watched that video when it came out on Glenn Beck's BlazeTV, I kept trying to read the board that was up with names on it with $$$s next to the names, could not quite make them out.
Clever enough selection today means I will read them at least twice, food for thought. (cilantro is never questioned for parsley in my world).
Can speak from experience parsley does not do well in guacamole.
Who buys fresh parsley? I'm not a fan of cilantro. I did make the mistake once of buying a cucumber and did not see my mistake until I was peeling it to cut and steam. I was in my twenties at the time. My folks never bought cucumbers.
Good to see your back Shelley, hope all is well!!
Welcome back! What a Hugh treat! Happy New Year.
I learned about Cilento when feeding Guinea pigs. Not aware of having eaten any.
Happy New Year Jean!
Hi...been missed. Actually we (my wife) uses cilantro in quite a few dishes. And actually replaces parsley in some recipes.
Parsley is one of the main ingredients in tabbouleh, a salad that’s a staple in Lebanese and Syrian cuisine. It’s great with pita bread and often served alongside hummus and baba ghanoush.
Parsley a main ingredient, wow! Old wives tales has it if chewed after a meal it helps the digestion or something like that. When I was much, much younger, a parsley sprig always adorned a dinner plate in a restaurant. One never ordered it!
Many were worried about you, Shelley, so good to see you. Happy New Year!
Thanks GM, Happy 2025 back at ya!
Unless bitter guac is your thing
If it's bitter, I'd check the ingredient label to make sure it's wholly guacamole.
Really?!
I did not KNOW that!
Tonga release big news.
So many Very Clever! Bravo! 👏🏼 👏🏼 to the Malones.

Too late... Passed judgement on him a LLLooonnnggg time ago. If I was his Juan Merchan, things wouldn't go well for him.
I have to smell the cilantro in my local market, because the,folks who put it on the shelf, mix it up all the time with parsley.
Funny, eh?
I do the same thing at the local news stand, to sniff out propaganda from truth.
You must have one discerning sniffer. Are you related to Sesame Street's Snuffleupagus?
good one!
Egg-zactky. Wonder how many wuflu sufferers bought the wrong bunch?
You could taste it as well, but I dont want to be accused of being the wild ass rabbit walking the grocery aisles, by some blue haired lefty
Loved the math video. The ending is perfect. Loved the funny “ unvaccinated, conservative “ also the gun toting family. Thank you for making me laugh today. Have a great day!

My husband was a criminal defense attorney and yes he told them not to talk to police unless he was present.
Yes, you too, can be the wack-a-doodle smelling your veggies in public.
Sounds a bit wierd, but I assure you, I will not judge you one bit !
They look alike but smell totally different. When in doubt, bruise a leave and use your nose.
I just had grabbed a bunch without really looking . The grocery store puts them together. I’m more careful now. You can’t make fresh salsa with parsley. Yuck!
Drs Malone! How in the world do you manage to out do yourselves each week with all these “spot on” funnies! The math video has always been one I watch each time it is posted anywhere.

As a result several people replied to my post with some fairly thoughtful criticism. There is NO perfect AI algorithm (despite what everyone hopes). There will always be rough bumps in the road. Elons attempt to make for fewer unregretted minutes reading through hundreds of comments (many of which are inscrutable at best) is a lovely effort. I hope it works.
GREAT toons again, Jill!
The 7 year old video about 2 + 2 = 22 ? NOTHING has changed here in 2025!
Alternative Math !! I have a friend and neighbour who is just as spunky as this teacher and she is consistently trying to expose our City Hall for its inability to understand finance. I will send this video to her. She will get a kick out of it.
she reminds me of Mary White!
You've outdone yourselves! Great selection!
To start with the one that so fits - from a meat eating gun owner....
Freedom IS the Greater Good
The baby barn owl is a charmer. The baby owls at the zoo just huddled together and made an incredible racket for food!
Both videos hit the spot! Now of to a John Prine to top it all.
Have a good day preparing for the storm, if you won't be getting spared.
Thank you for making Sundays brighter. Also, Thank you to you and your wife for being beacons of light through the darkness.
