I wanted to post something positive on Friday, hope you enjoy it!! Thanks Drs. Malone for letting me post!!
“Give someone a reason to look up to you”.
It feels as though we’re always being tested. Most every day we are faced with difficulties that sometimes seem to never go away. Difficult people at work, a difficult spouse, a problem child. We may not be able to control the difficulties, but what we can control is how we respond to them. Certainly not everything goes our way in life, I can attest to that. Instead of trying to change the circumstances, maybe we should change. They say God only gives you what you’re able to handle and this is another test that has been placed in front of us, a test that confronts us, theirs a choice to make.
Sometimes we get into arguments over and over again, sometimes about the same subject, and even if we know we’re right, we knowingly let the other person win, let them have the last word, or maybe we decide to change ourselves. This is a test of our faith that we have passed. Many say that you immediately are rewarded with growth and because of this you will be blessed with successes in other areas of your life.
You would think after 40 years of running a construction company I would have faced nearly every adversity there is with employees, customers, building officials, designs, classes, tests, making payroll every week, but obviously I have not, God is never done testing us. Just when you think you have reached the top of the hill you can clearly see there are more hills to climb.
Many times I feel that I give up my peace too easily. No one can take your peace, we have to give it away. Giving up your joy is a choice that you make, the decision is yours. There are subjects that will always create controversy, we have a choice, do we want to be right or do we want peace. I am constantly asking for help in trying to make the right decision. Hoping but not sure that in some way I’ll be able to accept all of the difficulties that are ahead. Here is to us finding that peace.
Thank you James, I have been self employed in the printing, mailing and promotional products business since 1980, and I have also faced all the challenges you listed above.
After having two brothers die at 39 and 43, I try to make the best of every day, and avoid being angry about all the dumb things that happen on this planet.
James, you seem to bee the first to comment so many times...how do you do that. It certainly sets a good example of hearing what is being said, afterwards. Not sure what that means, but think about it. You mentioned "always having to bee right". That is a
huge statement regarding narcissism, and how to identify one's self in that realm. Being narcissistic is not the end of the world, but it seems to have stalled progress, for sure, in so many directions that need to shift or change. I've noticed that if one calls another a narcissist, it is always denied, or at the very least...creates confusion...like no narcissist thinks he/she is one. I wanted to point that out cause it seems to slow down the progress of humanity in the "spirit" of things that need to shift...in the US. One thing for sure, the whole state of progress in the US is based on economics, I just realized. How is anything going to become more spiritual if that's the case. And I do believe it is, and perhaps always has been. We (all humans) are in a new dimensional phase of growth. If you don't understand that, consider making it a priority to learn what that means, and how it relates to the 50s. It's no secret that there has been a shift in consciousness, it's just that many don't yet understand who they are. One way to do that, stay in the present, speak in the I am, and consider reading this book I'm going to recommend to all. Its called Trilogy - The Best Kept Secret. You will learn when and where the first crash of a UFO happened. You will also learn why the military has kept ETs and UFOs secret since the 40s. Its Sunday, now that I've read the Malone's funnies, I'm going to take a break and rest.
I didn’t post 1st, more like 10th or 11th. My comment was saying be the bigger person. Let others have the last word and you may find peace in your life, I mostly meant with family. That doesn’t mean look the other way to bad things that happen, it just means pick your fights. Sometimes it takes seconds to escalate, say the wrong ting, and it creates weeks, months or years of pain. That’s all…
In the process of reading Gavin de Becker's Forbidden Facts, which relates to what you wrote about the state of affairs in the U.S. related to Economics...and nothing spiritual about our government's take on the subject. It uses taxpayer dollars to support the Institute of Medicine, which 'debunks' any negative research relating to profit-making products. It discussed Autism for one, which is sinking America. I have been into health research for over 60 years and the last person I would go to for health advice would be a medical doctor. They don't study health in med school. They promote medical treatments. It is obvious that they don't support the views of the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates who advocated the right foods, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. He would never have used invasive toxic drugs, vaccines, or many of the treatments in use, today.. .Vaccines create brain damage and have lowered the intelligence of every child who has been forced to take them. It is disgusting that money is more important to our government and industries today than human life and our Creator who made the world and all life.
Thank you Barbara, I believe this is absolutely correct, doctor’s are not trained about health, or nutrition. Sadly, medical treatments are prescribed first, & during a wellness visit to my doctor, I was told years ago, (1990’s), during my middle thirties, I had high cholesterol, & high blood pressure. Of course, the only way to deal with these health issues, were medications. Years later, after my children were born, (1990 & 1992), I began researching the meds I was prescribed. I stopped taking both medications: Lisinapril for Bp, & a statin drug for cholesterol. I have not taken any meds since, & I’m so much healthier now, thankfully to my change in foods.
Live and Learn! The only thing that belongs in our bloodstream...nutrients from natural foods, which will provide health. Hippocrates: Let Food be Your Medicine; and medicine be Your Foods.
Right on James! "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment." Marcus Aurelius. We live in the most amazing time in human history and remain blind of the gifts God has provided and ignoring the evil that seems to surround us.
All Bob’s Money. Yep. That’s what too many folks are clamoring for. They have not yet realized it will be THEIR
money too that is distributed around! Where are the Americans willing to stand up against these Socialists/Communists!? When I try to discuss our trek towards this terrible outcome, it is usually met with scorn or apathy. The long term goal is about to be reached and I am so sorry for my country. Thank you Drs Malone for continuing your warnings. These Funnies today are truly more warnings.
I’m going to say it again, scorn and apathy are just denial and helplessness in action. Here’s the fix:
And I suggest the “fix” is actually simpler than you might think . How? separate spending from funding. Elected politicians can and should propose spending BUT ONLY citizen taxpayers should APPROVE FUNDING . I.E. distribute decision making across the entire taxpayer population . This will tend to put a hard stop to fraud and waste if given the help of DOGE. Every taxpayer must assign their tax dollars for or NOT for each spending bill proposed. Make a bill obtuse and unintelligible? No problem. Just say “no you can’t use my tax dollars for that.” Bills that taxpayers agree to fund get annual audits and review ie can the government continue to use my tax dollars for this? The result: Budgets then shrink or swell based on performance and the will of THOSE who actually fund the government. If everyone with skin in the game (ie taxpayers) did this, graft and political manipulation would approach zero. Nothing focuses the mind, sharpening the senses more than having one’s own hard work stolen and misused. And nothing would do more to unite Democrats and Republicans and defeat socialists aka communists than everyone getting the governance they want TO THE EXTENT THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. This is the step change needed in our constitution! And would do a great deal more to secure our God given rights than all the pontificating party politics or all the social media complaining or all the useless dumb ass protesting.
This is another funny, not so funny, one from the same group, ReasonTV on Ytube. You are right, Barbara, most folks, don't want to know. Even Truthers we've come to love these recent years, many are in denial about this current atrocity happening, in Ukraine and Iran.
I loved the one about freezing boiling water to save for another batch of pasta. There was a politician, I think Nadam Schiff, who had broken down into per capital amounts of what could be done with a trillion dollars. Someone had to purposely dedicate time to figure out how someone else's monies could be parted out. I wonder what influence he exercised over the proper use of government dollars ? This stuff really ain't complicated. He is such a slick con artist to float the notion of taking Elon Musk's value and redistributing it. Our two sons paid their student loans. People like Schiff are nauseating and I really can't fathom how they actually can express such garbage. Like the woman and the farmer discussing milk, some people are delusional.
tbh, I today’s FF had me laughing, sort’a, on the inside while the seriousness of the truth behind the panels had me kind’a sour faced on the outside.
THEN … I scrolled down to ORANGE MAN!
Thank you

Joyful Juneteenth, y’all. Remember, it was REPUBLICAN troops marching into that last confederate outpost in Texas to make real the news of freedom. After a hundred years of freedom, the ancestors of those freed people rehitched their fate to the party of their former enslavers; the party that instilled fear through lynching; the party that denied them suffrage, education, equality. As a result, the ancestors of the former enslaved, and even those that just look like them, gave up their family structures, traded husbands for a government check, abort half or almost half of their children, and too many of their young men languish in prisons for crimes against each other.
This Juneteenth, can we set aside a moment and mull over what those liberated men and women would think of this result; what the dead, maimed Union soldiers would think of their sacrifice.
You’re most welcome! You provided the opportunity for us to highlight PragerU and you featured Carol Swain, a brilliant woman who speaks commonsense every time she opens her mouth ;-)
Yes, Prof Swain has been a fav of mine since, 🧐 I think, hearing her on Rush (?) years ago. Looked her up and downloaded some of her writings back in the day. Thing is, she ain’t alone, there are scores of black voices who epitomize the American dream, the ideals, but they’re dismissed by louder voices with slurs like "Uncle Tom." The democrats, leftist, Main Street media doesn’t help since the greater part of its voice echos the leftist pitch. What’s worse is too many American blacks who live and prosper the American dream, live like conservatives, vote left of center
I would love to see this posted on progressive social media. Black Americans need to wake up to the truth about their past and the party that still is enslaving them.
How do you fix a broken republic when those you have elected take their marching orders from the deep state actors and not those that elected them to office?
partial answer: change the next generation and those following by public education on the foundation of America, on the Revolutionary War and those who died, on the Civil War and those who died and in all these cases which factions supported the lower classess and slaves and which ones supported enslavement, limited speech & Liberty.
The point: public education has brainwashed generations of children and now they are the adults running the deep state and sporting blue hair. Public education is likely the way to turn the country around permanently by making it a force for republicanism, morality, and capitalism using critical thinking and intelligence.
One way to approach the lack of education due to the military having control, is to make the effort to speak in the "I am", stay in the present, and stop using those dam pronouns, we, our, us. Its a good way to become conscious.
Why would one go to a conference where 2 of the main speakers are Dennis Kucinich and Joe Kent? They are 2 fabulists who will support anyone who gives them most grift money. No thanks. You can keep your conference given the lack of any credibility from two of the main speakers.
I am no expert on either of these guys but am surely biased against them. However, it would be worth listening if for no other thing than to learn what their unique perspectives are on the world.
I may find out, for example, that Joe Kent did not leave for reasons I had previously assumed, but for. . . ?
Keeping an open mind is important to learning NEW things.
Pretty-red, Keep an open mind? You can't mean to listen to a different perspective from my own view...What a concept! I'm positive that I already know everything - there couldn't be anything NEW to learn...could there be?
Once the county, state and feds drain me of all my possessions, I will have nothing, so I’ll be happy. That’s because I’ll have nothing more to give them. Oh happy day! (Sarc)
My college educated daughter, single asked me what I think about Elon being a trillionaire now? I said its great, he employs like 60,000 people, made thousands of millionaires with the stock sell and brought abundance and awesome tech to many peoples lives. She says, thats too much money, he needs to give alot of it to charity. I said maybe he is, but he is creating jobs that families can be supported on; that's a very good thing. She says, It's too much money for one person. Who decides that? I reply. Bernie, the government agencies, Congress do they decide how much is too much for an American to earn?
Clearly Diana, you daughter was indoctrinated in college. It's quite common. Having only taken night classes to learn more about personnel management, early in my career, I have worked very hard for a long time, and I absolutely admire people who are hugely successful.
Personally, once I hit about $10mm in the bank, I would retire, money has never really been that important to me.
Musk is hugely successful because he is one of those rare visionaries that come along every decade or so. Good on him.
I just don't have the stomach for the truth memes today. I'll see if I can make it through them later. It's been cold, rainy gray and dreary. Kinda like the way I feel right now. Have a great day anyhow!
I moved from a county in PA that had moved from conservative to liberal in what seemed like a short time to a small town in South Carolina. I attend a large conservative church. The number of conservative teenagers is impressive! I see lots of hope in them! May your day look up...I would send you some of our sun and heat if I could.
DD, remember if things don't go as planned, or one is surprised by a delay in action, it usually means that synchronicity is at play. If you are new to what that means, give it a try. See what comes of it, and shift gears to accommodate what is....rather than what you expected.
I am very familiar with synchronicity, (just not how to spell it). It appears in my life all the time, and I pay attention. I am an optimist by nature and yet this agonizingly slow reveal is wearing on me. Thanks for the encouragement, tho.
Thanks! The sun is out, going for a walk soon and reading AMD about the uses of DMSO. It truly is a miracle potion! Hope you're at your lake place, enjoy.
I’ve been working the weekends trying to keep up with everything the best I can, helping out a friend today. The wife is at the lake with the mongrels which is good! Have a nice walk and enjoy the day!!
Hoping your Saturday turns bright, sunny & not-rainy & dreary, D D:). Here in Colorado, the sun has blessed us the past several days, but no chance of rain- which we desperately need!
I so appreciate the good wishes, Patricia. The sun did come out with storms all around us. Did you know I was blessed with a few years in Aspen? I even winter camped, and used The Jerome Hotel to shower. Many years ago...
Aspen is beautiful! I have been there on occasion, but as a visitor only. I live East of the Rocky Mountains, in rural Elbert county- which is about 45 miles SE of Denver. We have 10 acres now, but initially my Mother-in-Law bought 20 acres in 1960, & for many years, this area was like a ghost town. Not anymore! Happy you had sun & sounds like your day is going much better. Have a wonderful evening…:)
I read that quote & my immediate thought was wonder what CS Lewis’ take be today if he were a Friday/Sunday Funnies subscriber. Something tells me he would have to reassess not his definition of “sane” - not insane, but sane.
The smart family sits in their comfy couch, fav drink in hand to watch the foolishness ‘cause they cut the cord and this is funnier than the Keystone Kops.
The Beatles re-mix is sheer brilliance! Dr. Robert & Dr. Jill - if you both had an extra 10 hours a week to play with (ha ha, right) you'd have a National audience with these clips. You two are the best thing on Substack. Abd we (your readers) love & appreciate you.- His Lightbeacon-Elizabeth
The Al Gore meme, freeze boiling water to use it later to make pasta, is such a marker of Progressive unconnectedness with reality that it is as good as the earlier one of the Progressive on the end of a plank shooting the Conservative preventing his fall off the cliff. Very funny!!
So strange... I woke up this morning with the Beatles' hit song "All my Lovin'" running through my head. That was BEFORE I checked my email and read your title and sub-title on this post! (Maybe the people who say our souls are all part of a collective consciousness are right?)
When I saw this Donald Duck cartoon in here, I couldn’t help thinking about the essay I wrote not long ago.
I truly believe that the wrist slapping going on from the authorities along with many parents is causing great damage to the country. My own son might be alive today if the rod had not been spared by the authorities here in South Carolina.
The essay is linked below, it contrasts my son’s treatment and unfortunate death with my treatment in the 1960s that led to my being clean, sober, and very successful for over 54 years now.
Remy creates another “Hit Piece”!!! Love it! What a shame our country has become, due to the past few regimes: Biden, Obama, Clinton, Bush! Each administration created chaos, has lied to the American People, & been involved (allegedly), in some form of child trafficking & abuse! Shameful! Now, President Trump has been cleaning up messes, at least from Biden, the past year, 6 months! I appreciate everything Trump has already accomplished, & now continues to do to have Peace in the Middle East. But, every time he begins another task, Chaos erupts from the Deep State- or the lunatics on the left. Gob Bless President Trump on his journey forward these next couple years!
Remy sure has talent, & “All My Loving” Beatles Parody, really hit’s the nail on the coffin (so to speak)! Thank you for the best lineup of Friday Funnies, I had a great laugh- a laugh that is truth-to-the-point! Awesome!
I wanted to post something positive on Friday, hope you enjoy it!! Thanks Drs. Malone for letting me post!!

A particularly good presentation about this topic is one by Carol Swain titled, "The Inconvenient Truth About The Democratic Party". It is a short video from PragerU, from May 2017...https://www.prageru.com/videos/inconvenient-truth-about-the-democratic-party
PragerU videos are gold nuggets in just 5 minutes. Here’s a link to all of them. Enjoy!
https://www.prageru.com/shows/5-minute-videos
Thanks, Big E!
You’re most welcome! You provided the opportunity for us to highlight PragerU and you featured Carol Swain, a brilliant woman who speaks commonsense every time she opens her mouth ;-)
Yes, Prof Swain has been a fav of mine since, 🧐 I think, hearing her on Rush (?) years ago. Looked her up and downloaded some of her writings back in the day.

I love Carol Swain. She is beautiful inside and out.
I agree - she is a lovely person.
I would love to see this posted on progressive social media. Black Americans need to wake up to the truth about their past and the party that still is enslaving them.
I have thoughts about but the less spicy one is Stockholm Syndrome
How do you fix a broken republic when those you have elected take their marching orders from the deep state actors and not those that elected them to office?
another good question Thomas.
partial answer: change the next generation and those following by public education on the foundation of America, on the Revolutionary War and those who died, on the Civil War and those who died and in all these cases which factions supported the lower classess and slaves and which ones supported enslavement, limited speech & Liberty.

Thomas, Related Q: How do you cure people's worship of money/power that opens them to being willing to march, as ordered?
We measure success based on the almighty dollar. Not on the goodness of the heart and mind.
Why would one go to a conference where 2 of the main speakers are Dennis Kucinich and Joe Kent? They are 2 fabulists who will support anyone who gives them most grift money. No thanks. You can keep your conference given the lack of any credibility from two of the main speakers.
I am no expert on either of these guys but am surely biased against them. However, it would be worth listening if for no other thing than to learn what their unique perspectives are on the world.
I may find out, for example, that Joe Kent did not leave for reasons I had previously assumed, but for. . . ?
Keeping an open mind is important to learning NEW things.
Pretty-red, Keep an open mind? You can't mean to listen to a different perspective from my own view...What a concept! I'm positive that I already know everything - there couldn't be anything NEW to learn...could there be?
are you REALLY my oldest brother?!
I’ve heard plenty from Kucinich and Kent. I’ve had enough of their drivel. No thanks.
I hear you, but Dr. Malone is worth a listen. What if everyone simply walks out and takes a break when those 2 are speaking.
Such is life. Dr. Malone will be at other events and widely read through his Substack articles.
Once the county, state and feds drain me of all my possessions, I will have nothing, so I’ll be happy. That’s because I’ll have nothing more to give them. Oh happy day! (Sarc)
I love all the hypocrisy on the left about how great socialism is.
And yet, it has NEVER been successful anywhere in history.
Why can't all these faux leaders like Bernie, Mamdani, AOC, Fauxcahauntas just witness history and see that it is a lost cause.
I'm so glad I am a capitalist, Patriot and Non-globalist...I easily see the light...
Let’s shine that wonderful light on others. Every nook. Every cranny. Everybody!
Amen Big E:)…!
My college educated daughter, single asked me what I think about Elon being a trillionaire now? I said its great, he employs like 60,000 people, made thousands of millionaires with the stock sell and brought abundance and awesome tech to many peoples lives. She says, thats too much money, he needs to give alot of it to charity. I said maybe he is, but he is creating jobs that families can be supported on; that's a very good thing. She says, It's too much money for one person. Who decides that? I reply. Bernie, the government agencies, Congress do they decide how much is too much for an American to earn?
Clearly Diana, you daughter was indoctrinated in college. It's quite common. Having only taken night classes to learn more about personnel management, early in my career, I have worked very hard for a long time, and I absolutely admire people who are hugely successful.
Personally, once I hit about $10mm in the bank, I would retire, money has never really been that important to me.
Musk is hugely successful because he is one of those rare visionaries that come along every decade or so. Good on him.
I just don't have the stomach for the truth memes today. I'll see if I can make it through them later. It's been cold, rainy gray and dreary. Kinda like the way I feel right now. Have a great day anyhow!
I moved from a county in PA that had moved from conservative to liberal in what seemed like a short time to a small town in South Carolina. I attend a large conservative church. The number of conservative teenagers is impressive! I see lots of hope in them! May your day look up...I would send you some of our sun and heat if I could.
DD, remember if things don't go as planned, or one is surprised by a delay in action, it usually means that synchronicity is at play. If you are new to what that means, give it a try. See what comes of it, and shift gears to accommodate what is....rather than what you expected.
I am very familiar with synchronicity, (just not how to spell it). It appears in my life all the time, and I pay attention. I am an optimist by nature and yet this agonizingly slow reveal is wearing on me. Thanks for the encouragement, tho.
Hope you’re feeling better today DD 🙂
Thanks! The sun is out, going for a walk soon and reading AMD about the uses of DMSO. It truly is a miracle potion! Hope you're at your lake place, enjoy.
I’ve been working the weekends trying to keep up with everything the best I can, helping out a friend today. The wife is at the lake with the mongrels which is good! Have a nice walk and enjoy the day!!
Hoping your Saturday turns bright, sunny & not-rainy & dreary, D D:). Here in Colorado, the sun has blessed us the past several days, but no chance of rain- which we desperately need!
I so appreciate the good wishes, Patricia. The sun did come out with storms all around us. Did you know I was blessed with a few years in Aspen? I even winter camped, and used The Jerome Hotel to shower. Many years ago...
Aspen is beautiful! I have been there on occasion, but as a visitor only. I live East of the Rocky Mountains, in rural Elbert county- which is about 45 miles SE of Denver. We have 10 acres now, but initially my Mother-in-Law bought 20 acres in 1960, & for many years, this area was like a ghost town. Not anymore! Happy you had sun & sounds like your day is going much better. Have a wonderful evening…:)
I read that quote & my immediate thought was wonder what CS Lewis’ take be today if he were a Friday/Sunday Funnies subscriber. Something tells me he would have to reassess not his definition of “sane” - not insane, but sane.
When the whole world is running toward a cliff…
The smart family sits in their comfy couch, fav drink in hand to watch the foolishness ‘cause they cut the cord and this is funnier than the Keystone Kops.
The Beatles re-mix is sheer brilliance! Dr. Robert & Dr. Jill - if you both had an extra 10 hours a week to play with (ha ha, right) you'd have a National audience with these clips. You two are the best thing on Substack. Abd we (your readers) love & appreciate you.- His Lightbeacon-Elizabeth
The Al Gore meme, freeze boiling water to use it later to make pasta, is such a marker of Progressive unconnectedness with reality that it is as good as the earlier one of the Progressive on the end of a plank shooting the Conservative preventing his fall off the cliff. Very funny!!
So strange... I woke up this morning with the Beatles' hit song "All my Lovin'" running through my head. That was BEFORE I checked my email and read your title and sub-title on this post! (Maybe the people who say our souls are all part of a collective consciousness are right?)
When I saw this Donald Duck cartoon in here, I couldn’t help thinking about the essay I wrote not long ago.
I truly believe that the wrist slapping going on from the authorities along with many parents is causing great damage to the country. My own son might be alive today if the rod had not been spared by the authorities here in South Carolina.
The essay is linked below, it contrasts my son’s treatment and unfortunate death with my treatment in the 1960s that led to my being clean, sober, and very successful for over 54 years now.

Remy creates another “Hit Piece”!!! Love it! What a shame our country has become, due to the past few regimes: Biden, Obama, Clinton, Bush! Each administration created chaos, has lied to the American People, & been involved (allegedly), in some form of child trafficking & abuse! Shameful! Now, President Trump has been cleaning up messes, at least from Biden, the past year, 6 months! I appreciate everything Trump has already accomplished, & now continues to do to have Peace in the Middle East. But, every time he begins another task, Chaos erupts from the Deep State- or the lunatics on the left. Gob Bless President Trump on his journey forward these next couple years!
Remy sure has talent, & “All My Loving” Beatles Parody, really hit’s the nail on the coffin (so to speak)! Thank you for the best lineup of Friday Funnies, I had a great laugh- a laugh that is truth-to-the-point! Awesome!
"Has the last 50 years of public education poisoned 3 generations to true republican ideals and how can this be reversed in only one generation?"
please add my question.
