At first blush, POTUS Trump (well, candidate Trump) and Perot compared well: go getters and problems solvers, often taking the path least traveled and apparently with a genuine love of USofA. But the more I listened to Perot, the little hand grenade?, the more I disillusioned, unlike with Trump. I remember two things about Perot outside of the political circus (that sucking sound of NAFTA): sending a mercenary squad to rescue his employees and how he dealt with a house he was restoring. The way I remember this is that the house was for his mother (?) and the brick facade was marred by previous coats of paint (or the like) and he wanted THISE bricks. He was told that do to the nature of the bricks there was no way to clean them such that the original color would be seen. Perot then proposed carefully removing the bricks and turning them around so that the inside untainted side was now the outside. Problem solver.
Perot was really a one-off production. God broke the mold. . .
Even though pissed that his candidacy caused the Repub. loss to Clinton, I have always said I wasted my vote. But, your recapitulation of the man's thinking -out-of-the-box nature makes me wonder if I would not STILL vote for him again!
Regardless.
about the bricks: He had FU money, used it to effect the best fix. YES!
There are some that believe Bush lost that election on his own. Don’t have as good a memory of that election as others - had other issues of more importance (finishing law school, Montana bar, then the patent bar and actually working as a {gulp} lawyer 🤪), but I do recall, correctly I hope, that Bush senior was dealing with Graves’ disease which could have impacted how he approached that election.
Although, a quick perusal of the electoral college says it wasn’t even close.
Graves disease is curable as are most autoimmune diseases, I know I did it myself without help from western modern medicine, millions can be cured with basic good eating and billions of diseases could be prevented via diet and proper agriculture

I still find it annoying and amazing that the very people who would like a change, vote for the lesser of two evils, simply because they think the third candidate will split the vote. They don't follow their thinking to the end: if everyone who really liked the third party candidate would vote their conscience, the third party candidate would win!
That has not been our history. H Ross Perot split the Republican vote resulting in Clinton’s election. Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party split the Republican vote ensuring Wilson election. Vote for whoever you want, but understand the odds. The US system really only has room for two parties.
I didn't say it was our history. Our history is that people are so afraid of splitting the vote that they're loathe to vote a third party. What I think is that if everyone would vote conscience instead of trying to vote for the lesser of two evils, the "safe" vote, a third party candidate might very well win.
NAFTA was the North American Free Trade Agreement — a trilateral trade pact between the United States, Canada, and Mexico that came into force on January 1, 1994. It was replaced in 2020 by the USMCA (United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement). Set rules for trade between the three countries.
Key provisions:
Tariff elimination — phased out over 10–15 years on virtually all goods, with the longest phase-outs reserved for "sensitive" products like sugar and corn
Non-tariff barrier removal — customs procedures, technical barriers, and quotas were harmonized or scrapped
Investment protections — removed barriers to foreign investment (especially opening up Mexico) and created a dispute-settlement mechanism for investors to sue governments
Intellectual property — first trade agreement ever to include an IP chapter, setting minimum standards for patents, copyrights, and trademarks
Side agreements on labor and environment — tacked on after the fact because Congress threw a fit about the original text having no enforceable labor or environmental provisions
Largely resulted in the destruction of manufacturing in the US and other problems.
Traveling through China several decades ago, I forgot to say "No Ice" in my cocktail. I drank it and got the runs. One-half of a Cipro tablet solved the problem. Contaminated water supplies exist.
Mexico has a problem. We have a problem in the US with Concentrated animal corals where 1000's of cattle are housed and the soil is contaminated with E-coli and C-Diff. Wind transfers the fine soil into adjacent fields and contaminates vegetable crops. Since 6 % of our red meat supply is contaminated with C-Diff and E-Coli, you do NOT want to consume anything but well cooked meat. The other solution is buy locally from farmers raising grass feed beef. I learned my lesson two years ago when I ate a rare filet. Mayo antibiotics saved my life. It is a serious problem and the real issues are not addressed and the focus is on measles. Sad state of medical affairs. CDC needs to be re-educated and fix the problems.
Thomas I always have figured eating solid cuts of meat(ie steak vs burger) is mostly safe. I can not conceive how E coli gets into the middle of solid meat. But, you appear to be saying this is not true-- you got sick from a rare steak?!
I wonder if contamination of solid meat is from not cleaning the band saws often enough in big processing plants.
I found having a meat grinder at home is good for making my own burger. I avoid large packaged burger meat at stores, particularly from places like Walmart. I found our local grocery has thin steaks T-bone, rib eye and sometimes other cuts, that cost about $6 to $9 each and are just the right size to cut in half for each of us for lunch = $3 to $4.50 each. It is also about the right (fits in the palm of your hand) recommended amount of protein.
Visit my website www.vegetable-gardening-online.com for lots of helpful information on growing many vegetable, fall and winter gardening, container and raised bed gardening. I have lots of charts and guides for free download to help with planning and planting a garden.
Sorry friends, but have you seen any port-a-potties in the fields where they pick crops? I have here in America, but do you think they wash their hands after the toilet use? Where do you think they go to the bathroom and wash their hands in the fields in Mexico?? They just do not spend the money for those items even though they SHOULD. How many other crops are harvested under those slack sanitary conditions? Fresh vegetables are becoming less inviting to consume, unless you grow them yourself, and not everyone has room for vegetable gardens or warm greenhouses, or the time to maintain them. I guess it depends on how much you want to stay “well.” Good luck with that! I had a beautiful greenhouse once. Wasps took it over. :-(
I have seen them at the large organic operation near my old home. They had green houses and fields plus a store so we could go during the week and buy stuff all week instead of waiting for the Saturday farmers market in town.
Exactly right Barbara. Saw just this type of reporting on Epoch this morning. They go right in the fields with proof seen.
I'm very glad I purchased the spray bottle of hypochlorous acid. Ready next time to buy the super size. So far, use includes vegie clean and several family members have used to help with sore, dry, cracked skin.
Back to the farming days! I like the raised bed idea. Catch on younger generations! Getting closer to 80 than 70.
In my mind’s eye, I see my dear mother by a garden in the state of KY. I think she probably had just planted it! I have the picture somewhere! Thanks Dr. Malones! Finally we know the source for now.
Thank you both...good Doctors... I'm now soooo hungry for a good, fresh, salad... that I must get to my nearest local fresh market and pray that they have something that looks as good as the pictures of your beautiful veggies do! 😋
Thank you for this. (Your writing is so fluid, it carries you along without effort, but these things don’t write themselves; so, thank you for the time and effort.) MSM would like us to think Taco Bell is the main/only problem, but anyone with a brain in their head (and willing to use it) can easily understand that the problem is nationwide because the chain that supplied Taco Bell is linked to thousands of other “Taco Bells.” Thank you for laying that out so clearly. I appreciate you two.
Waiting for the book to be released! I keep checking days off for August 4th! Pre-ordered of course. We finally are enjoying our garden this season. It was a weird garden season this year. It was cold enough that it stunted the plants but there was never a frost and it has made everything quite late this year. It’s not a complaint now as things are ramping up and the food you grow yourself tastes 100X better than anything you’ll ever buy even at Whole Foods.
There is always a source of contamination, many times it’s obvious. On the pond where we bought a small cottage house the water is tested annually, always exceptionally clean. There came a time where E.coli was detected on one side of the pond. It began by a family dogs swimming started getting infections. The home owners paid to get water tests done and they traced it to a run off stream coming from a hill along the pond. Sure enough a property owner had recently bought 2 cows and was piling up the cows waste with a small pay loader just up from the stream that drained into the pond. Eventually, after many arguments, the property owner got rid of the cows and the pile of waste, and the problem slowly cleared.
Sometimes issues like this don’t become a reality, until someone or a pet close to you gets sick. Unregulated food production or pharmaceutical production, as we know, can kill. Many times, as wrong as it may be. there’s an obvious answer but no one seems to end up paying a liability price. I guess this is today’s reality…
Growing a Greens garden is one of the easiest but short lived endeavors here in “Heaven on Earth” Alaska…unless you spend big bucks on heated greenhouses. Our short season for greens does reap glorious harvests but we mainly rely on cole crops and veggies that can be frozen or canned. One of the trade offs to living in the Last Frontier.
I might have shared this before but perhaps it is important enough to share again. Many humans do not eat "out of the garden". Many have become aware enough to restrict their purchases of food from Certified Organic. At the present time Certified Organic is institutionally challenged due to being under USDA. It has been "captured" and the certification means little in today's food economy. Which means that growing one's own food is even more important. We buy from Sustainably Grown local farms at a farmer's mkt, (and grow our own) so we can ask questions and get answers about the local farms. OrganicEye.org has sued USDA Organic thru the Commerce Dept., but the new administration has not noticed. If you want to support OrganicEye, go to their website and get more information about the US food system, and add that to what is being said here. Thanks so much for speaking to this particular issue today. As I was born in Oak Ridge, where the atomic bomb was created, I grew up on can food...if I had eaten out of the garden, I probably would not bee alive today.
Curativa has a food spray to use for some of these problems. I'm gonna order it to go with the rest of their products that I use. Especially now, after reading this article!
Fresh Wash Pro Food Mist $29.99 I look to buy a few things for free shipping, I hate paying for shipping! I use the skin spray, the Daily Disinfectant and the Pet -Setter spray. Dr. Malone is on the board...and writes for them periodically.
I recently bought a few grow bags which I haven’t used yet because we’re in the middle of a very hot summer here in central FL. This is motivating me to get started.
H Ross Perot warned us about NAFTA back in the day. Trump was an H Ross Perot supporter. They were right!
Hy
They hollowed out the domestic workforce, and told us it would be good for us.
I voted for him too. So, it appears Trump and I think alike.. . hmmm.
I need to think about that one!
At first blush, POTUS Trump (well, candidate Trump) and Perot compared well: go getters and problems solvers, often taking the path least traveled and apparently with a genuine love of USofA.

Yes, I would vote 🗳 for him again. My only regret was that we didn't have enough people who would listen to reason and common sense solutions.
HAD HE WON, OUR COUNTRY PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE IN THE CURRENT STATE OF BANKRUPTCY.
I too remember his description of NAFTA as the swooshing sound.
Boy, was he ever right ✅️. Now, my favorite president is saddled with a gargantuan task‼️
I pray 🙏 everyday for him to receive 🙏 the strength of Samson and the wisdom of Solomon.
I love how my president is always mindful of how to save our money 💰 from fraud and abuse.
I know that he can't do it alone, but he seems to be setting the stage for our future leaders to continue.
OH HOW I PRAY 🙏 THAT THEY DO CONTINUE.
Damn, I think I just figured out why MY prayers haven’t been effective: I’ve been praying for the strength of Solomon and the wisdom of… , yeah 🙄

Yep, a problem solver like my favorite president TRUMP‼️‼️
So many of us thought he was a total nut. But as you say…..
Just go with it….
Could someone please explain what NAFTA is? I appreciate it.

Another reason and hope for local farmers markets and home deliveries. Maybe not perfect but better odds if doing it oneself won't work.

I use that food spray all the time! It kills Salmonella - even on raw chicken. Also kills ecoli
I did just order (food spray) it and the gallon of disinfectant is So much cheaper. There is a coupon also, HOCL20.
DD, is it Curativa Bay?
Yes.
I went there. I saw tons of products. I didn't see a food spray. Do you have the name of it?

The above ground green leaves of beets is an excellent anti-cancer food. Best if eaten raw or lightly steamed.
I guess it’s time for me to start a small garden. Thank you!

That’s great, good luck! I literally have no excuse. We live in NorCal best climate.
A reminder to buy locally and enjoy fruits etc when in season and freeze them for off season use.
Thanks to you two, my how my Garden Grows!
