Hard to pick a favorite but love the optimism of the Statue of Liberty hugging Lady Justice saying, “it’s not over”.
I’ve been thinking about everything we’ve all been through the past four plus years and it’s become clear to me that “we” have been put here for a reason. I know I’ve complained, a lot, about people that don’t pay attention to things; life just passes them by; they don’t worry as I do; but maybe I have been made to worry so they don’t have to. Maybe more of this burden has been put on us because we are the ones chosen to fix this, teach people, get people involved. Life isn’t always easy or fair. Everyone faces struggles at some point in their life, sometimes everyday.
It could be a marriage where one person has a thousand reasons why they should leave, no one would blame them for leaving, but they stay, knowing it would be too much for their spouse or their children to bear. They stay, with the hope things will resolve one day. Sacrifice and commitment are most always a part of life that is always rewarded if not now than in the end.
I mentioned the other day we all need to keep struggling in this fight but we also must have faith that there are bigger forces than us that will help us through these trying times. I hope all of you can see this and I hope all of you can take a deep breath while leaning on your faith. Happy Sunday to all of you and thanks for your commitment. J.Goodrich
Very good thought, James. I wish more people would determine to be committed to their marriage for the sake of the innocent children they've brought into the world. I'm reading a book called Pagan America and the author says that the church basically accepted cultural changes, didn't speak up, and then adopted the changes themselves in many cases. We have to start speaking up!
I don't know if this is considered beating a dead horse, but when the Catholic Church started adding pop music and removing Latin from their mass, it seemed like the beginning of an end, to me.
That's because it was, and it was planned. The Church was represented at one of Klaus' first WEF forums as early as the late 1960s. Klaus is on video talking about it.
That's just so sad. Terribly sad. Especially so, because I think it succeeded. I believe there ARE some reasons to experiment with time machines. Klaus and Soros are two that immediately come to mind.
Early in the 20th century the Church was invaded by communists, those advocating Liberation Theology. Their leader was Brazilian archbishop Hélder Pessoa Câmara, who attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. During this Council (1962-65) he led 40 bishops into the Catacombs of Domitilla outside Rome where they signed a document under the title of the Pact of the Catacombs. They were all from South America except one, from Canada. More Bishops, perhaps 500, added their names. It got little news or traction because Pope Paul VI was not aligned with its criticism of capitalism.
Klaus Schwab met with Hélder Câmara in the 70s after he founded WEF and had him come to a WEF meeting. Before the Pact’s 50th anniversary the Church made its move in 2013 and install as Pope (after forcing out the current Pope) one Jorge Mario Bergoglio a Jesuit from Argentina who became a Catholic priest in 1969 at age 33. When a Cardinal in 2007 he wrote the Aparecida Document, his manifesto to reset the Church according to the Pact of the Catacombs. Bergoglio has also attended the WEF meetings as Câmara was his mentor. All the beautiful cathedrals around the world have been abandoned, closed, sold; the convents also; beautiful statutes and adornment have been taken down and the traditional Latin mass is off the table. You see it is now a church of the poor to keep the citizens occupied with spiritual matters so their plight is manageable. We have lost Bishop Strickland and now Cardinal Burke. More will fall.
A One World Order cannot exist if enough people hold that God’s laws are above any laws of man outside of His. Today there are priest that dance around the pews, second as disc jockeys, fly rainbow flags, bless same sex marriages and as Bergoglia does, think that abortions help with overpopulation.
That explains a lot. I haven't been practicing for many decades, but it always seemed like the church was leaving me, not that I was leaving the church.
Good God Shelley, what would happen if the devout, practicing Catholics got a clue? It's been corrupt for so long, it seems normal. This is the same veil of delusion that covers so many eyes about so many institutions. This mockery just keeps on ticking. Jesus would roll in his grave if he had one!
I stopped going to weekly mass, at about age 19, when I learned that the Catholic church was protecting pedophille priests who were abusing children within the church walls.
Organized religion was dead for me from then on. I'm still spiritual, but i will not associate myself with these organized crime rings posing as religious zealots
Protestant denominations do not require celibacy and many used to prefer married males as minister. But even those churches are in troubled times. I have a brother with a small congregation that has been together for decades and a nephew with a good-sized congregation, mainly families with lots of children. Mega churches can preach a good message but the economies of scale are far from the hills Jesus taught on. Beware of man’s corrupt in all things . . .
Anne, I was just speaking to a neighbor sitting by the lake, and said that I may worry for 10 or more people that are unaware. So it’s up to us to speak up and make them aware…
Today in my Bible class, in spite of the fact that the teacher doesn't like for us to mention current events, I did! When we mentioned prayer requests, I said that I wanted to praise God that the WHO''s pandemic treaty failed. I was surprised that multiple people clapped and otherwise expressed agreement.
He didn't respond and we moved on to other requests. Awhile back, probably having no idea what we were going to say, he asked my husband to tell the class why we are wearing paperclips, so he knows where we're coming from. After that, I sent the class members some more info about it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about read my two substack posts about paperclip resistance.
I met my husband when I was 17 in High School, we married 4 years later June 9, 1974. Still together, still loving each other, both believers in Jesus Christ, but we have changed and it is hard now, we probably will stay together for our 3 children 30, 40 something adults now.
Diana, trust me you’re not alone. I try as hard as I can to say nice things, do nice things , bring her flowers, I really need to plan a get away which I think would greatly help. Do the best you can and try. Always remember the grass is always greener but if your both good people try to make a spark hopefully he will think the same.
Good morning Randall. Isn’t it something how us humans get all caught up in psychologics and the world and all its life pays us no attention. My favorite time of day here on the lake in NH is right when it changes from the dark of night to a bit of light, long before the sunrise, and the wildlife comes alive letting everything know they’re still there.
Predawn was always my favorite time to scuba dive when the fish that hunted at night gave way to the day fish emerging from under the coral heads and I could watch the shift change on the reef. (Bonaire, Virgin Islands, Great Barrier Reef, Hawaii, and FL Keys)
This is refreshing for me as well. It is so rare to see someone in these comment sections (not only this one) who doesn't blow up over some small, usually well intended, constructive criticism. Kudos to you Sir.
It appears that this site attracts a higher level of bipedal, hairless hominid than about 99.9?% (not counting myself as that would be rude) of the entire WWW. It's like a cyber oasis. 'course the smile evoked by the emu and goose playing grab ass alone is worth the price of membership.
Growing up our father used to correct our use of language all the time. Sometimes mom did too. Then I started with my children and mentioned it's demeaning to your intelligence and to my acute hearing to mimic poor use of words. Truly I will never accommodate "ain't got no". Mistakes in writing like-sounding words - there, their, they’re are common. I’m guilty of that because my proofing entails reading what I ‘thought’ I wrote. James, you are off the hook!
Many written formats like MS Word use an auto-correct function, which I often stubbornly override. But this feature does little to teach us.
Perhaps one day Mr. Gates will roll out an AI correction device for vocalized communication. Little electric shocks administered through our collars. He'll really teach us good. ZZZZZT. I mean well.
Language is a rich art. I always thought I had a pretty good command, but in these last ten years or so, I've often resorted to checking usage rules, only to find that I've been making mistakes all this time.
Even the great ones weren't perfect. If you go back and read "The Great Gatsby," you'll see characters who said "could of" instead of "could have." And Fitzgerald's not alone.
That’s funny I spelled it that way at first and asked my wife if it was bare and she said yes!!!! So it’s her fault. I will switch it, I love learning!!!
My bird problem is a robin that this spring decided his (or her) favorite perch in the mirrors of my 4Runner. Not so bad except the way robins like most birds lighten the load as they take flight leaving potentially corrosive white streaks down the doors. The only partial solution is to tie grocery store/Walmart bags on the mirrors and, of course, remove them any time I leave. This discourages the bird and catches most, but not all, of the bird poop. So I guess at least I have a way to recycle the nasty plastic bags used to haul groceries.
Postscript
After several weeks the robin apparently found a mate, built a nest, and gave up mirror sitting! Thanks to James Goodrich for reminding me I needed to add this postscript!
Try a sign in Robin verse that says this is not a free parking and pooping site and hang it so it catches the droppings because we know that birds can't read.
I found a fake owl I bought a couple of years ago and tried that but no luck. The robin totally ignored it. The next step would be a semi automated owl with a turning head but the nesting season is progressing and the robin comes by less frequently. As I recall robins are good parents so hatching baby robins are likely taking precedent to sitting, etc on the mirrors.
Last evening my mocking bird was on the chimney singing melodies with an occasional lift-off, about two feet (here I am). This morning he was out front atop a tree doing the same. They wait for quite times so their melodies can be heard - no lawn mowers running.
Interesting birds (state bird of Texas). Have had a pair nesting in an ash tree for years now and saw them give a fox a real hard time for getting too close. They can be dangerous. One actually pecked out the cataract implant of a family friend...one who had nested with them for years.
Wait, what? Who would implant a cataract? Or did I read that wrong Michael? If I had known that I would not have paid to have mine removed. I eventually paid for new lenses but not the extra for corrective vision. Now, had a bird taken off with my new lens . . .
The implant was the new lens repairing the cataract. The bird actually pecked it out (the old ones often had a glimmer to them that may have attracted the bird..one of my 2 does). The poor guy had to be ambulanced to Pensacola for emergency surgery.
Oh, sounds so awful. I had know idea that a bird would get that close to a human's head.
I just got an email from a friend telling me about her retina tear. She took too long to see a doc and now will live with blurred double vision the rest of her life. She had all sorts of things done to the eye to correct it and did not have insurance. I think she is about 68.
Morning! Happy Sunday! I’ll second that except for the unteachable - just can’t fix the truly stupid ones, so no longer have the tolerance. I love that time of morning too when I’m somewhere to witness the early morning wonders.
I usually leave here on Monday morning at 4-430 AM for work, the night has changed to a bit of light. It’s so beautiful when everything starts to wake, it’s hard for me to leave.
The winds of war are gathering and we have mindless politicians running the show. We can't wait until the first Atomic bomb destroys the lives of millions to rise up against the tyranny that is taking control of humanity. Hope and faith need to replaced with positive action. My view.
Good to see Lady Liberty paying it forward with Lady Justice. Liberty herself was recently dejected, and crying on Kermit's shoulder, or at least the top of his arm. He understands as well as anyone: It's not easy being green.
Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.
Jonathan Turley wrote on X 6/1/24:
In the race to the bottom this week, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has pulled ahead. The ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee just introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act to end Secret Service protection for Trump if he goes to prison... ...It does not even work as an acronym with the tag on of "Former Protectees Act." How about SHAMEFUL (Stopping Harmful Antics by Members Eagerly Filing Useless Legislation)? ... ...or CUCKOO (Congressmen Undertaking Changes to Kill Our Opponents). Describing this move as "regrettable," Thompson has found a way to add lethal elements to the unhinged political rage in Congress.
My reaction to posts by Carlson and Turley, the ultimate goal of tyrants is to take out their political opponents by any means necessary. Do not for one second think they’re not capable of the unthinkable. They’re desperate, so extra security is now needed for DJT and his entire family. If you pray, please pray for God’s protection for Donald Trump. Our nation needs this warrior fighting for us.
GMoody, I agree 👍 with you. However, I can't LIKE your comment because I DON'T want to OWN or CLAIM the THOUGHT of the final act that "THEY" might do!!!
I absolutely REFUSE to let that thought claim victory!
And still today, does anyone know the crime that caused the 34 statute of limitations expired misdemeanors to be felonies 🤷♂️. 100% Banana Republic ‼️
You have to wonder who got to the jury on this deal, because nobody can convince me that out of 12 people there isn't even one that was smart enough to see through this sham.
Somebody put the fear of the democrat deep state in these folks. There is no other explanation for this lunacy.
Fellow travelers. In many parts of the US today it is The Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run. So if you encounter a pack of runners escorted by squad cars, moving slowly, please bear with us. For a good cause and your patience is appreciated.
"And this one, this is a picture of Grandpa throwing the TV off the balcony. Your dad and your aunt had been watching a marathon of Barney the Dinosaur episodes, and Grandpa finally just snapped."
"Grandpa, that doesn't look like a TV. It looks like a glass box."
"Well back then, Adam, TVs were not flat and wall-mounted like they are today. Old TVs used a CRT, which back then just stood for 'Cathode Ray Tube.' Grandpa was feeling a little vexed that day, and when the phone rang he ripped it off the wall and threw it off the balcony, too."
"So grandpa, back then TVs were not on the wall, but phones were? No way! My teacher says if you tell me misinformation, I can report you to the authorities at the indoctrination center."
"No need to tell zem/zir about this, okay Adam? Let's just keep this between us. You wouldn't want Grandpa to be hauled away, would you? Hey, what do you say? Ice cream for everybody!"
The lead guy is an old Columbia professor named Racaniello, and he has awarded himself the title of Earth’s Virology Professor. He was one of the guys in the e-mail chain with Fauci and others that has been revealed through FOIA, even though they went to great lengths to hide their correspondence and used burner phones. We’re four years into their bioweapon and he is one of the loudest voices still pushing the Racoon Dog/Pangolin idea.
In today’s podcast they speculate about how great self-amplifying spike-encoded Covid vaccine might be, because, well why not? When the conversation drifts into the topic of what could go wrong, they deftly segue away from such dangerous thoughts. Racaniello makes the comment that the mRNA vaccines have always remained in the upper arm at the injection site, even though some may think that don’t. Wow. We’re three years into this madness and there are hundreds of papers on bio-distribution and accumulation throughout the body, including transfer of spike through mother’s breast milk to the infant. It’s as if these people live in a parallel universe!
At this point, another guy pipes up with, “That’s the kind of question the SAFETY WONKS will be paying attention to and wanting an answer to”. Wow. When you’re shilling for Big Pharma, you categorize the population who have a bit of skepticism as safety wonks.
What I would like is for each of these creeps to have a beautiful daughter who herself has two young girls who has taken the vaccine and the boosters and is now lying in a hospital with a fatal glialblastona in her brain. What is worse than being fatally ill at your own hands? Your child being fatally ill and it’s your fault. The trouble is that for those of us innocents left behind the truth is a burning sword whose fire we can’t put out. I’ve experienced this now twice thru friends!
DM, very grateful for that. Someone must to do the dirty work and report to the rest of so we stay informed.
BTW it is incredible for all the right reasons. The real definition of incredible is NOT credible, i.e., unbelievable, absurd, etc. People use the word today like it means astounding or amazing so the dictionary, as usual, expands the definition to accommodate people’s misuse. Same with anxious – which means worried. But people use it to mean eager and so yes, the dictionary has expanded its use to include eager, however, eager has not been expanded to mean anxious. The roots of words hold no meaning anymore or perhaps I’m just too old.
That is what almost happened to the Native people, Mike. Now more and more different tribes are re-learning their language, which was forbidden to be spoken as the children were removed from their homes and put in missionary schools.
Same thing to the Welsh in the UK. When a nation (or tribes) are conquered and you don't want to kill everybody off, but still want to prevent retribution in the future, that's about the most effective method to use. But, it has to be thorough.
It's an interesting point. Language evolves, but we can also perceive this as decay.
The term "romance language" has nothing to do with valentines, but refers to languages that evolved from Latin. These include (but are not limited to) Spanish, French, Italian, and Portugese, which have great overlap, but are generally not mutually intelligible.
In English, we use the word "deception" to refer to lying or attempts to mislead. But in French (décevoir) and Spanish (decepcionar), these words mean "to disappoint." In Spanish, "batir" means "to beat;" in French, the same word (bâtir) means "to build." There are many such examples.
I think we can expect that from the modern interconnectedness of the world, the pace of change of language will increase. That is, if we can avoid destroying ourselves.
Now if we could just keep in mind that Trump could have had Kennedy advising him in 2020, but he chose Fauci, locked down the country, and pushed "warp speed".
How many of us knew at the time, including Trump, that the worlds entire health system, pharma and media sociopaths were all in bed for the culling of the human race🤷♂️ The Plandemic was the waking of the masses and since has exposed the deep state like never before.
Trump was listening to the bureaucrats we pay to advise all of us in a time of public health crisis. Trump did not know the bureaucracy was so vile they covered up the source and intent of the virus.
I suspect from comments Trump made to Dr Scott Atlas, that he was aware mischief was afoot among CDC bureaucrats. I do not have the proof, but I suspect Trump feared his impeachment if CNN and FOX showed him defying his CDC boss. Cable news was overrun with terroristic propaganda at the time, and the entire Democratic Party were drooling like gallows birds ovee the thought that Trump would be blamed for causing some COVID deaths by not deploying enough ventilators. When New Jersey's "opioid-free hospitals" racked up the second-highest per capita death rate by force intubation of patients without anesthesia and they bled to death getting cut by the ventilator tubes, NJ Governor Fats Christie managed to distract all attention away from his disaster, and suddenly all the Democrats shut up about ventilators.
That would be Phil Murphy not Crispy Cream. Yes, I believe it would have been a death by hysteria as was the fear porn compliance. Hysteria seems to win every time since common sense left the building decades ago.
I don't know where this idea that Trump "locked down the country" comes from. There's no truth to it. Many state's governors locked down their states. Trump had nothing to do with that and constitutionally could not say the governors couldn't do it.
Kennedy may have been a better choice for an advisor. Unfortunately he wasn't the head of the NIH, Fauci was. Scott Atlas who also would have been a vast improvement over Fauci got pushed to the wayside as well.
I have to keep reminding myself that it was VP Pence in charge of the 'response team' and he was, at every turn, pointing to Trump as the default lead as if he did not any 'credit' later.
IMO Pence should be getting a Lion's share of the Covid Credit
He got a huge meaty assignment and blew it like a craven coward. How very far he's fallen from his "Drll baby drill" as Pelosi turned off the lights days!
Trump did not lock down the country. Governors of each state made their own decisions. I’ve heard several people say that Trump locked down the country, but it’s not factual. The governor of my state made the Covid rules that we had to wear masks at the beach, so we went to Florida to vacation, no masks, restaurants all open, we had a great time. That was March 2021. We were sick of the Democrat Despot Governor Northam.
These great memes have come home to roost. "The winning hand" needs to take the prize this November. It's true, putting up the US flag is a give-a-way and hopefully not the 'dead' kind. Never know these days.
These Sunday Funnies hit the nail on the head. Every single one is important and I have already gone back and pondered the meaning of each one. But the comments ( for the most part) are what encourage me. To see a group of people who think as I do gives me the push needed to keep fighting for our beautiful country. Some of my family was gleefully celebrating the guilty verdict with the same old talking points from the Left. I just sadly kept repeating to myself “you can’t fix stupid. You can’t fix stupid”. Have a safe trip, Drs Malone. Appreciate you both.
If anyone I know expresses support for this kangaroo court’s verdict, I will feel compelled to repeat Tucker Carlson’s words- anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to me and my family. I will defend the Bill of Rights for all citizens, even the stupid ones.
Rep. MTG On Congress Having The Power NOW To Put An End To The Lawfare- “They did not come this far to convict President Trump and not put him in prison”. I found this interview by Bannon with MTG on Rumble to be absolutely chilling. Put nothing past the RINOs like John Bolton and Nikki Haley. Put nothing past the deep state Marxists that want to destroy our country.
So many of these are so perfect! Thank you for sharing these every Friday and Sunday, without fail. Your commitment to making this world a better place for all is always inspiring.
Hmm, ½ hour before I leave to "congregate," where we conspire to do all sorts of deplorable activities like, well, pray for our country, same for our "leaders" (whom seem to be fewer&fewer each Sunday), cling to and OPEN our Bibles and READ His Word, a few of us will even talk guns {gasp} before&after service — any day now I expect to get raided there, home, while driving my ICE truck…
Anywho, Country music playing soft on the radio (Rick Jackson hosting) and I got to wondering this AM: how many of the willingly blinded, willingly accepting flushing The Constitution and taking a dump on Ladies Liberty&Justice listen to country music, songs of the heartland, etc. Ya’know, there were two lawyers on that jury in ‘Sodom’, NY - even if they were not Trump supporters their willingness to tear up the document they swore to protect and … ( I was thinking I should apologize for another blemish my former profession created but 🤔 I’d rather Try’m using their own rules, Convict’m and hang’m from the dome of the Capital for treason) - but I’m told I can be unreasonable at times
Anywho#2, I was wondering what the median age of those posting in (reading) DocM’s Substack may be - my concern arises from thinking about what 2 generations of adults growing up in a society that has taken such a hard, and increasingly harder, turn toward despair; we talk about reclaiming our country, taking back, a reassertion of a Constitutional Republic - can today’s young adults ever comprehend what it was like to roam free as I did back in the day when they soil their silk undies just thinking about letting their child go to the playground alone - that is, if they have kiddos.
Anyway, heart swelled this AM in response to most of today’s panels ( 🙏 DocMs ), such a blessing knowing there are still "cartoonists" who just get it (and those taking in the ‘toons); despite my evolving apparent pessimism, I still dream of hill&dale, small town & megalopolis, granaries&grange halls, congressional buildings from Sacramento to DC draped in patriotic Red White’n Blue (tho, me’thinks we’re gonna have to redefine that blue shade - blue with a hammer&sickle logo just ain’t compatible ).
Hard to pick a favorite but love the optimism of the Statue of Liberty hugging Lady Justice saying, “it’s not over”.

It seems to me their decline is well illustrated by the election of their latest communist leaning Pope.
I'm not Catholic, but I was really saddened to see this happen.

Good for you Anne. We have to speak up. How did the teacher take it? Did Anne get in trouble?
He didn't respond and we moved on to other requests. Awhile back, probably having no idea what we were going to say, he asked my husband to tell the class why we are wearing paperclips, so he knows where we're coming from.

That's why it is important to get out of a state of confusion ASAP!

It often attracts all other Crows to the tree site from 5 other counties. (seems like anyway)
Caw caw caw caw for a half an hour long....is not the Rooster.
Good morning Randall. Isn’t it something how us humans get all caught up in psychologics and the world and all its life pays us no attention. My favorite time of day here on the lake in NH is right when it changes from the dark of night to a bit of light, long before the sunrise, and the wildlife comes alive letting everything know they’re still there.
Yeah and over time you can identify each bird telling the rest, that the "Sun" is rising.
Be glad, be grateful, be joyful. The hardest day was yesterday.
Cheer up cheer up! So claims a Robin with a belly full of Ze bugs and worms
(Yeah...Ok too far?) Hahaha
Predawn was always my favorite time to scuba dive when the fish that hunted at night gave way to the day fish emerging from under the coral heads and I could watch the shift change on the reef. (Bonaire, Virgin Islands, Great Barrier Reef, Hawaii, and FL Keys)

Thank you Jim corrected!!!
This is refreshing for me as well. It is so rare to see someone in these comment sections (not only this one) who doesn't blow up over some small, usually well intended, constructive criticism. Kudos to you Sir.
It appears that this site attracts a higher level of bipedal, hairless hominid than about 99.9?% (not counting myself as that would be rude) of the entire WWW. It's like a cyber oasis. 'course the smile evoked by the emu and goose playing grab ass alone is worth the price of membership.
Retired teacher? It's a never-ending job. Weaker people eventually give up.
Growing up our father used to correct our use of language all the time. Sometimes mom did too. Then I started with my children and mentioned it's demeaning to your intelligence and to my acute hearing to mimic poor use of words. Truly I will never accommodate "ain't got no". Mistakes in writing like-sounding words - there, their, they’re are common. I’m guilty of that because my proofing entails reading what I ‘thought’ I wrote. James, you are off the hook!
Many written formats like MS Word use an auto-correct function, which I often stubbornly override. But this feature does little to teach us.
Perhaps one day Mr. Gates will roll out an AI correction device for vocalized communication. Little electric shocks administered through our collars. He'll really teach us good. ZZZZZT. I mean well.
Language is a rich art. I always thought I had a pretty good command, but in these last ten years or so, I've often resorted to checking usage rules, only to find that I've been making mistakes all this time.
Even the great ones weren't perfect. If you go back and read "The Great Gatsby," you'll see characters who said "could of" instead of "could have." And Fitzgerald's not alone.
How do you like "preventative"?
I actually like it, it makes me think and I learn. It’s like a double bonus!!
That's very refreshing! :-) Thanks!
Retired teacher here too, and it’s bear not bare, but that’s what happens when we use dictation!
That’s funny I spelled it that way at first and asked my wife if it was bare and she said yes!!!! So it’s her fault. I will switch it, I love learning!!!
My bird problem is a robin that this spring decided his (or her) favorite perch in the mirrors of my 4Runner. Not so bad except the way robins like most birds lighten the load as they take flight leaving potentially corrosive white streaks down the doors. The only partial solution is to tie grocery store/Walmart bags on the mirrors and, of course, remove them any time I leave. This discourages the bird and catches most, but not all, of the bird poop. So I guess at least I have a way to recycle the nasty plastic bags used to haul groceries.
Postscript
After several weeks the robin apparently found a mate, built a nest, and gave up mirror sitting! Thanks to James Goodrich for reminding me I needed to add this postscript!
Try a sign in Robin verse that says this is not a free parking and pooping site and hang it so it catches the droppings because we know that birds can't read.
If you park in the same spot everyday, try a weighted owl decoy on the roof.
Or an imitation cat or any real predator. Any fake raptor may keep the robin off the SUV.
I found a fake owl I bought a couple of years ago and tried that but no luck. The robin totally ignored it. The next step would be a semi automated owl with a turning head but the nesting season is progressing and the robin comes by less frequently. As I recall robins are good parents so hatching baby robins are likely taking precedent to sitting, etc on the mirrors.
I think you are correct with the fact that the mirror is a great watch tower and escape height
Especially if the tree nest has eggs or baby Robins. Try a crow decoy at nesting sites too.
The crows raid bird nests for the eggs and the snack inside it.
Maybe the owl is not the best deterrent.
But the cat poised up on the roof might be.
Last evening my mocking bird was on the chimney singing melodies with an occasional lift-off, about two feet (here I am). This morning he was out front atop a tree doing the same. They wait for quite times so their melodies can be heard - no lawn mowers running.
Interesting birds (state bird of Texas). Have had a pair nesting in an ash tree for years now and saw them give a fox a real hard time for getting too close. They can be dangerous. One actually pecked out the cataract implant of a family friend...one who had nested with them for years.
Rambler, Don't mess with Texas or you'll have the Rath of our State bird!!!
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Wait, what? Who would implant a cataract? Or did I read that wrong Michael? If I had known that I would not have paid to have mine removed. I eventually paid for new lenses but not the extra for corrective vision. Now, had a bird taken off with my new lens . . .
The implant was the new lens repairing the cataract. The bird actually pecked it out (the old ones often had a glimmer to them that may have attracted the bird..one of my 2 does). The poor guy had to be ambulanced to Pensacola for emergency surgery.
Oh, sounds so awful. I had know idea that a bird would get that close to a human's head.
I just got an email from a friend telling me about her retina tear. She took too long to see a doc and now will live with blurred double vision the rest of her life. She had all sorts of things done to the eye to correct it and did not have insurance. I think she is about 68.
Morning! Happy Sunday! I’ll second that except for the unteachable - just can’t fix the truly stupid ones, so no longer have the tolerance. I love that time of morning too when I’m somewhere to witness the early morning wonders.
I usually leave here on Monday morning at 4-430 AM for work, the night has changed to a bit of light. It’s so beautiful when everything starts to wake, it’s hard for me to leave.
I get it! It was like that for me when I lived in AZ and was still working. Up same time. It made driving to work nice l. I hated having to go in! Lol
The winds of war are gathering and we have mindless politicians running the show. We can't wait until the first Atomic bomb destroys the lives of millions to rise up against the tyranny that is taking control of humanity. Hope and faith need to replaced with positive action. My view.
I agree Thomas, but how do we do it?
We have to raise our voices in unison! Need a leader!
Morning, James in NH (we spent 4 years in that beautiful state, near Dartmouth College on the Connecticut River),
Your paragraphs are beautiful. As are your thoughts. Thank you!
Thanks Big E!!!!
You're welcome. Enjoy that beautiful NH lake -- there are so many in that state!
So Kermit's a Lipton drinker. I knew it.
Good to see Lady Liberty paying it forward with Lady Justice. Liberty herself was recently dejected, and crying on Kermit's shoulder, or at least the top of his arm. He understands as well as anyone: It's not easy being green.
Morning James.
Good morning Mark!! https://share.icloud.com/photos/059fREdxztaO9YvQH0yHvQqPw
Tranquility is a fog lifting on a windless lake to reveal the feathered family.
Very nice.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well said (again) mate.
Love Trump asking if the gag order is lifted! He won't give up!
Tucker Carlson wrote on X 5/31/24:
Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.
Jonathan Turley wrote on X 6/1/24:
In the race to the bottom this week, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has pulled ahead. The ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee just introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act to end Secret Service protection for Trump if he goes to prison... ...It does not even work as an acronym with the tag on of "Former Protectees Act." How about SHAMEFUL (Stopping Harmful Antics by Members Eagerly Filing Useless Legislation)? ... ...or CUCKOO (Congressmen Undertaking Changes to Kill Our Opponents). Describing this move as "regrettable," Thompson has found a way to add lethal elements to the unhinged political rage in Congress.
My reaction to posts by Carlson and Turley, the ultimate goal of tyrants is to take out their political opponents by any means necessary. Do not for one second think they’re not capable of the unthinkable. They’re desperate, so extra security is now needed for DJT and his entire family. If you pray, please pray for God’s protection for Donald Trump. Our nation needs this warrior fighting for us.
GMoody, I agree 👍 with you. However, I can't LIKE your comment because I DON'T want to OWN or CLAIM the THOUGHT of the final act that "THEY" might do!!!
I absolutely REFUSE to let that thought claim victory!
Pray for the Trump family, all of them.
And still today, does anyone know the crime that caused the 34 statute of limitations expired misdemeanors to be felonies 🤷♂️. 100% Banana Republic ‼️
Aggravated Patriotism w/ intent to Deliver?
You have to wonder who got to the jury on this deal, because nobody can convince me that out of 12 people there isn't even one that was smart enough to see through this sham.
Somebody put the fear of the democrat deep state in these folks. There is no other explanation for this lunacy.
I'm likely (hopefully?) jumping to conclusions, which I really dislike, but...
It's New York City. And people don't like to be told what they're doing is wrong. And they HATE that when they already know it.
Probably true.... Not a good excuse though.
Do you mean the ones that 'influenced' the election?
The ones that were signed several months AFTER the election?
I heard some pundit claim that Bragg announced what it was during his closing, after the defense closed their case to try to prove Trump's innocence.
The one of our pathetic excuse of a leader in full banana regalia said it.
Fellow travelers. In many parts of the US today it is The Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run. So if you encounter a pack of runners escorted by squad cars, moving slowly, please bear with us. For a good cause and your patience is appreciated.
Good Morning Dr.'s Malone. Another outstanding collection of funnies.
Merchan is a shoe in for the next evil Sith Lord in the Star Wars series. But who is his apprentice?
His daughter?
“Loren, you are my daughter”
Good call…excellent choice.
But what is her Star Wars name?
I never followed Star Wars, so haven't a clue. I think someone else had a suggestion.
Nor have I understood the attraction. Perhaps because as my wife tells me I am too linear.
Then I guess I'll happily accept the "linear" label as well.
Is linear another word for reality?
I hope so
Never forget:

"And this one, this is a picture of Grandpa throwing the TV off the balcony. Your dad and your aunt had been watching a marathon of Barney the Dinosaur episodes, and Grandpa finally just snapped."
"Grandpa, that doesn't look like a TV. It looks like a glass box."
"Well back then, Adam, TVs were not flat and wall-mounted like they are today. Old TVs used a CRT, which back then just stood for 'Cathode Ray Tube.' Grandpa was feeling a little vexed that day, and when the phone rang he ripped it off the wall and threw it off the balcony, too."
"So grandpa, back then TVs were not on the wall, but phones were? No way! My teacher says if you tell me misinformation, I can report you to the authorities at the indoctrination center."

Your efforts to inform, educate and preserve this Republic is greatly appreciated.
I listen to TWiV so you don’t have to!
The lead guy is an old Columbia professor named Racaniello, and he has awarded himself the title of Earth’s Virology Professor. He was one of the guys in the e-mail chain with Fauci and others that has been revealed through FOIA, even though they went to great lengths to hide their correspondence and used burner phones. We’re four years into their bioweapon and he is one of the loudest voices still pushing the Racoon Dog/Pangolin idea.
In today’s podcast they speculate about how great self-amplifying spike-encoded Covid vaccine might be, because, well why not? When the conversation drifts into the topic of what could go wrong, they deftly segue away from such dangerous thoughts. Racaniello makes the comment that the mRNA vaccines have always remained in the upper arm at the injection site, even though some may think that don’t. Wow. We’re three years into this madness and there are hundreds of papers on bio-distribution and accumulation throughout the body, including transfer of spike through mother’s breast milk to the infant. It’s as if these people live in a parallel universe!
At this point, another guy pipes up with, “That’s the kind of question the SAFETY WONKS will be paying attention to and wanting an answer to”. Wow. When you’re shilling for Big Pharma, you categorize the population who have a bit of skepticism as safety wonks.
TWiV is incredible, for all the wrong reasons!
What I would like is for each of these creeps to have a beautiful daughter who herself has two young girls who has taken the vaccine and the boosters and is now lying in a hospital with a fatal glialblastona in her brain. What is worse than being fatally ill at your own hands? Your child being fatally ill and it’s your fault. The trouble is that for those of us innocents left behind the truth is a burning sword whose fire we can’t put out. I’ve experienced this now twice thru friends!
Unfortunately, while these fools may know in their hearts the vax is the cause of their trouble, none of them will admit it.
DM, very grateful for that. Someone must to do the dirty work and report to the rest of so we stay informed.
BTW it is incredible for all the right reasons. The real definition of incredible is NOT credible, i.e., unbelievable, absurd, etc. People use the word today like it means astounding or amazing so the dictionary, as usual, expands the definition to accommodate people’s misuse. Same with anxious – which means worried. But people use it to mean eager and so yes, the dictionary has expanded its use to include eager, however, eager has not been expanded to mean anxious. The roots of words hold no meaning anymore or perhaps I’m just too old.
The most thorough destruction of a society is to destroy its language.
That is what almost happened to the Native people, Mike. Now more and more different tribes are re-learning their language, which was forbidden to be spoken as the children were removed from their homes and put in missionary schools.
Same thing to the Welsh in the UK. When a nation (or tribes) are conquered and you don't want to kill everybody off, but still want to prevent retribution in the future, that's about the most effective method to use. But, it has to be thorough.
It's an interesting point. Language evolves, but we can also perceive this as decay.
The term "romance language" has nothing to do with valentines, but refers to languages that evolved from Latin. These include (but are not limited to) Spanish, French, Italian, and Portugese, which have great overlap, but are generally not mutually intelligible.
In English, we use the word "deception" to refer to lying or attempts to mislead. But in French (décevoir) and Spanish (decepcionar), these words mean "to disappoint." In Spanish, "batir" means "to beat;" in French, the same word (bâtir) means "to build." There are many such examples.
I think we can expect that from the modern interconnectedness of the world, the pace of change of language will increase. That is, if we can avoid destroying ourselves.
Now this is a scary post!
Now if we could just keep in mind that Trump could have had Kennedy advising him in 2020, but he chose Fauci, locked down the country, and pushed "warp speed".
How many of us knew at the time, including Trump, that the worlds entire health system, pharma and media sociopaths were all in bed for the culling of the human race🤷♂️ The Plandemic was the waking of the masses and since has exposed the deep state like never before.
That was before Trump believed the Administrative State and the Deep State were such a large part of the Swamp.
Trump was listening to the bureaucrats we pay to advise all of us in a time of public health crisis. Trump did not know the bureaucracy was so vile they covered up the source and intent of the virus.
I suspect from comments Trump made to Dr Scott Atlas, that he was aware mischief was afoot among CDC bureaucrats. I do not have the proof, but I suspect Trump feared his impeachment if CNN and FOX showed him defying his CDC boss. Cable news was overrun with terroristic propaganda at the time, and the entire Democratic Party were drooling like gallows birds ovee the thought that Trump would be blamed for causing some COVID deaths by not deploying enough ventilators. When New Jersey's "opioid-free hospitals" racked up the second-highest per capita death rate by force intubation of patients without anesthesia and they bled to death getting cut by the ventilator tubes, NJ Governor Fats Christie managed to distract all attention away from his disaster, and suddenly all the Democrats shut up about ventilators.
That would be Phil Murphy not Crispy Cream. Yes, I believe it would have been a death by hysteria as was the fear porn compliance. Hysteria seems to win every time since common sense left the building decades ago.
Thanks for the correction!
I don't know where this idea that Trump "locked down the country" comes from. There's no truth to it. Many state's governors locked down their states. Trump had nothing to do with that and constitutionally could not say the governors couldn't do it.
Kennedy may have been a better choice for an advisor. Unfortunately he wasn't the head of the NIH, Fauci was. Scott Atlas who also would have been a vast improvement over Fauci got pushed to the wayside as well.
I have to keep reminding myself that it was VP Pence in charge of the 'response team' and he was, at every turn, pointing to Trump as the default lead as if he did not any 'credit' later.
IMO Pence should be getting a Lion's share of the Covid Credit
He got a huge meaty assignment and blew it like a craven coward. How very far he's fallen from his "Drll baby drill" as Pelosi turned off the lights days!
Agree Jean.
Trump did not lock down the country. Governors of each state made their own decisions. I’ve heard several people say that Trump locked down the country, but it’s not factual. The governor of my state made the Covid rules that we had to wear masks at the beach, so we went to Florida to vacation, no masks, restaurants all open, we had a great time. That was March 2021. We were sick of the Democrat Despot Governor Northam.
These great memes have come home to roost. "The winning hand" needs to take the prize this November. It's true, putting up the US flag is a give-a-way and hopefully not the 'dead' kind. Never know these days.
I, too, loved the winning hand. Now THAT would make a t-shirt :-) Must have been Dr. M's favorite too given the subtitle of this post.
These Sunday Funnies hit the nail on the head. Every single one is important and I have already gone back and pondered the meaning of each one. But the comments ( for the most part) are what encourage me. To see a group of people who think as I do gives me the push needed to keep fighting for our beautiful country. Some of my family was gleefully celebrating the guilty verdict with the same old talking points from the Left. I just sadly kept repeating to myself “you can’t fix stupid. You can’t fix stupid”. Have a safe trip, Drs Malone. Appreciate you both.
If anyone I know expresses support for this kangaroo court’s verdict, I will feel compelled to repeat Tucker Carlson’s words- anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to me and my family. I will defend the Bill of Rights for all citizens, even the stupid ones.
Best saying I found "you cannot reason someone into something they were not reasoned into."
Pardon me, Shelly, but did you mean to say, you cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into?
Thank you oldguy!
Rep. MTG On Congress Having The Power NOW To Put An End To The Lawfare- “They did not come this far to convict President Trump and not put him in prison”. I found this interview by Bannon with MTG on Rumble to be absolutely chilling. Put nothing past the RINOs like John Bolton and Nikki Haley. Put nothing past the deep state Marxists that want to destroy our country.

Folks, Lawfare IS warfare.
GMoody, it has become VERY CLEAR that these RINOS are simply marching in place and they're doing absolutely nothing to help Trump!
It's ALL GRANDSTANDING!
That is why we need to call them out on it and DEMAND ACTION 🎬 NOW!!
We don't want WORDS WITHOUT ACTION ANYMORE!!!!
So many of these are so perfect! Thank you for sharing these every Friday and Sunday, without fail. Your commitment to making this world a better place for all is always inspiring.
Hmm, ½ hour before I leave to "congregate," where we conspire to do all sorts of deplorable activities like, well, pray for our country, same for our "leaders" (whom seem to be fewer&fewer each Sunday), cling to and OPEN our Bibles and READ His Word, a few of us will even talk guns {gasp} before&after service — any day now I expect to get raided there, home, while driving my ICE truck…
Anywho, Country music playing soft on the radio (Rick Jackson hosting) and I got to wondering this AM: how many of the willingly blinded, willingly accepting flushing The Constitution and taking a dump on Ladies Liberty&Justice listen to country music, songs of the heartland, etc. Ya’know, there were two lawyers on that jury in ‘Sodom’, NY - even if they were not Trump supporters their willingness to tear up the document they swore to protect and … ( I was thinking I should apologize for another blemish my former profession created but 🤔 I’d rather Try’m using their own rules, Convict’m and hang’m from the dome of the Capital for treason) - but I’m told I can be unreasonable at times
Anywho#2, I was wondering what the median age of those posting in (reading) DocM’s Substack may be - my concern arises from thinking about what 2 generations of adults growing up in a society that has taken such a hard, and increasingly harder, turn toward despair; we talk about reclaiming our country, taking back, a reassertion of a Constitutional Republic - can today’s young adults ever comprehend what it was like to roam free as I did back in the day when they soil their silk undies just thinking about letting their child go to the playground alone - that is, if they have kiddos.
Anyway, heart swelled this AM in response to most of today’s panels ( 🙏 DocMs ), such a blessing knowing there are still "cartoonists" who just get it (and those taking in the ‘toons); despite my evolving apparent pessimism, I still dream of hill&dale, small town & megalopolis, granaries&grange halls, congressional buildings from Sacramento to DC draped in patriotic Red White’n Blue (tho, me’thinks we’re gonna have to redefine that blue shade - blue with a hammer&sickle logo just ain’t compatible ).
God Bless, y’all
