Hi Drs. Malone, sorry to hear about your plumbing problems! This in some ways ties in to your post from yesterday.

As we have witnessed, like so many successful people, when things look grim, the successful have a way of looking beyond their current circumstances. When present times are tough it’s easy to get wrapped up in all the negatives that swirl around us. If we let these negatives take control it can devour us.

DJ Trump is a class study on how not to get wrapped up in the negatives, look past them, focus and complete your ultimate goal. Another great example is Steve Bannon. These are two great samples of what it means to “lift up one’s eyes”. Before Bannon was put in prison I heard him say he did years on a ship in the Pacific while serving our country, in comparison he said, 3 months in jail will be nothing. I think before Bannon ever went to prison he had already turned Garlands sentence on him into a positive in his life, as did Peter Navarro.

In the Bible, “lifting one’s eyes” can mean opening oneself up to the truth and gaining it; “I will notice”; it can also represent the potential to change the direction of one’s life.

I believe that these tyrannical miscalculations of the democrats have grown “our” numbers and made us all stronger. They say when you “lift your eyes” you see beyond your current situation. As bad as the current things can be you will get a vision of the great things God has in store for you.

Although it’s plain to see the psychological damage the left and the media has done to so many, I believe we have witnessed good conquering evil. Looking ahead I hope in some manner we the people are able to continue to cross over, unite and grow our numbers even greater.

Personally I don’t find Trump to be extreme right by any measure, I find him to be a centrist that doesn’t let filters get in the way of his words. Unfortunately for too many that is too much to look beyond and unite. We certainly all have a lot of work ahead of us. We need to look beyond the propaganda and focus on the facts. On both sides of the political isle, we need to “lift our eyes” and unite. If Trump is able to expose more people that are willing to accept the truth his presidency could be a historic success!

I wonder when it will occur to the MAHA team to convince Trump that he would do well to quit bragging about a process that has killed a few million people and instead point out how warp speed did bring a treatment to market in record time but also exposed serious, even deadly weaknesses in the process that need addressing. Something like that.

I tried to respond to Come QuicklyLord’s post yesterday but SS wouldn’t let me. I worry that because Trump pushed warp speed he will let Fauci off the hook because in a way he is implicating himself, though Big Pharma waited until Biden was in to release the murder shots. As well as Fauci I’m afraid Trump may not go after Garland, Mayorkas, Dr. Birx, Alvin Bragg, Fanni Willis, the Jan. 6th committee, Pelosi, audit the money that went to the Ukraine, and so many more. Without justice, when the Dems get back in they will just start right up again with their tyranny.

I will second that!

Trump delegates and, at least in his first term, trusted experienced people to do their jobs. In his business empire he hasn't been hard over about replacing companies' leadership with his own people. So, when he was first elected, he acted accordingly. And he found out that was a bad decision. On this pass, he won't have to go after some of the scum you named above. Pam Bondi and Cash Patel will do that for him. It's not just that "there's a new sheriff in town". This time there is a new sheriff and some really tough deputies with him. Support your local police.

I hope that will be the case Michael, like I had posted yesterday, and as you said, of all the “scum” that crawled through the Biden administration, Fauci is #1 on my list to be prosecuted. I worry Trump may let these people off the hook. He will be crucified in the media for any and all prosecutions, also if and when he starts deporting illegal aliens. Not sure he’s got all of the political capital to survive all that is on his plate, but it will be interesting to see. I’m overjoyed he won! Thank God!

Great point! keep hoping he does that soon. Hopefully RFK jr will have an effect on him. What you’ve said is all he’d have to do to stop the criticism of this stance. I know so many people I had to convince to still vote for him because he’d never admit to how dangerous the vaccines actually were for many people. I find that the Trump team pays attention to X posts that copy DJT, DJT jr, RFK jr, and Dan Scavino. If you’re on X, maybe make that suggestion.

Expand full comment

I really had a very hard time with DJT not admitting that the vaccines were not as he claimed they were and never admitted that the DOD was involved. We couldn't let Kackling Kamela get into the WH but I still have quite a few reservations on the incoming admin. RFK Jr is a great addition if they do not hamstring him. Prayers and fingers crossed.

Appreciate your sentiments. I'd be satisfied if hebwould not talk about WARP speed. If he wants to speak of his successes he should focus on right tovtryvand MAHA. As for the rest, he's loosing his hounds. Just not get in their way. He has plenty on his plate that MUST be dealt without. .

NO doubt heads EXPLODED at the FBI with the announcement of Kash Patel becoming the new Director. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

I'm worried that establishment Republicans might not confirm some of these great appointments. Matt Goetz didn't even get a chance to be voted upon. And the establishment media has been nonstop vilifying these appointees. It'd be a dream come true if they are confirmed, other than Trump's war pig appointments that he unfortunately made.

hello James,

Like the rest of us, I've been hearing for years through the "Q" propoganda (most likely CIA influence), that Hillary will be jailed, Bill Clinton will be arrested for Pedo island, or having 50 of his close working employees commit suicide on a regular basis when he was in power. Or that Shifty Shiff will be prosecuted for lying about Russiagate, and on and on and on.

Who gets jailed ? Oh, it's the whistleblowers like Snowden, or Assange. The real actors never seem to pay, or be held accountable.

So, this being said, my fingers are crossed, but I'm not holding my breath for any period of time. Let's hope we're all "surprised" at the outcome.

If you are digging up the frozen faucet, make sure it has the drain down feature to remove water from standing in the pipe coming up above ground. If you have non porus soil (ie clay) then will also need a gravel pack to absorb the drain down water until it can soak away below the frost line. Hope that helps.

Expand full comment

Fred...Where were you when my barn hydrant froze? Exactly what the well guy said and how he installed it.

Expand full comment

Another solution if well pipe or other frost protected pipe manages to freeze up slightly anyhow is to drop a 100W incandescent light bulb down the well casing to sit on top of the pitless adapter elbow. Give it 3 to 6 hours and your frozen pipe will thaw at that critical point and water will flow again. If it is a hydrant without a casing then insulate the ground for 1ft + 1ft x frost footing protection for your area around the upcoming pipe and in 2 or 3 days the frost should have moved up enough in the ground to thaw the pipe. 6" of loose straw or R12 fiberglass batts in garbage bags does the trick. Also works for backed up septic systems that freeze and cannot be cleared until thawed. I now specify SM styrofoam insulation over the septic pipe from house to tank so homeowners can avoid this ocassional problem.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Excellent advice.

Also, if it is a hose bib, you can't leave a hose connected to it because that can prevent it from expelling all the remaining water from the system.

Good luck with the water work! We just spent six days with no running water because the main line from the well to the house cracked. Had to bore and install a complete new water line.

At least the weather was nicer when our repair was done. And we hired someone, so the pain and suffering for doing the repair was just in my wallet!

Expand full comment

The water line to us was busted by a dozen or so trips by really big dump trucks dumping sand at a new construction some 10-15 ft away from it.

Expand full comment

In future when I put water in at the cabin I have put in a 3" pipe to carry the 1" well pipe so if disaster strikes I can pull out the 1" well line and replace it. Compared to the cost of digging the trench, putting in the pipe, restoring the ground cover, etc, the cost of an extra 3" carrying pipe is peanuts.

I had a water heater start leaking yesterday as well at a rental home. The garage door spring broke at the same time. I needed to jack the door up (250 lbs) until it was open 2 1/2 feet so I could pass the water heaters (old and new) under the garage door.

Helpful tip. They drain much quicker if you put compressed air in the inlet while letting it drain through a hose.

A vote for that eye chart. Gods speed on the confirmation process, as it is crucial. In light of the DNC implementing every dirty trick imaginable and more my preference would be a Senate recess, during which all appointments are made and the non-confirmation whores would then have to make and expose their case for impeachment of the appointments. That recess would pale in comparison to the current administration practices.
