Honestly if government would just leave me alone, just do what they were supposed to do, I would be far better off than I am.
Just to pull a permit on my own house I need “licenses, permits, certificates, registrations, approvals, plans, insurances, safety certificates, safety inspections, site visits, and pay all the fees, could I now please just fix my stairs”? So wouldn’t you say this is hindering my business.
Liability insurance has gotten so expensive I’ve given up my plowing contracts because I would lose money, the insurance company would take it all and much more.
I would say as this communist democrat party has grown their main intention is to crush the little guy, crush the little banks, make people have no alternative but to beg government for some bread and peanut butter. Am I wrong?
Reagan was so well spoken and the complete opposite of these communists trying to do whatever it takes to take back power. Just as in 1861 they refused to accept Lincoln as president, they are today refusing to accept Trump as President and the will of the people. They are a blight on American society and the rule of law.
As you know, I dislike calling progressives liberals because, well, they aren't. However leftist seem very appropriate because by progressing away from it they have utterly left our Constitution behind.
Sure, they are certain in what they believe. Truth eventually wins. At the moment, forceful lies or cynical comment seems valid. Keeping founded in truth and not getting caught-up in the diatribe at the moment is vital. Excellent liars and deceivers are able to spin deception within a conversation. Staying diligent and grounded in truth without being wound into their web of argument is important.
The extremely sad part about government action lately, is the extreme effort to thoroughly undermine our way of life. What those running the human importation schemes and organizing the anti legal authorities is insurrectionist, treasonous and seditious. When states' governors and cities' mayors are inciting and supporting these actions, that is complete planned insanity. You James, being a citizen believing in personal responsibility jump through the hoops to accomplish what you want to do. The evil surrounding us attempting to destroy all of it.
It seems to me that what is happening is a methodical takeover of the United States and of course the world. Like when different peoples in history invaded and overcame the inhabitants of other places, I think that is what is going on. People were overtaken by not being able to resist invasion. The World is being invaded from multiple angles. It just looks to me to be a good old fashion attempt to overwhelm and breaking the will to resist. Really sinister, highly organized global attempt at domination.
“licenses, permits, certificates, registrations, approvals, plans, insurances, safety certificates, safety inspections, site visits, and pay all the fees..." Looks like you are supporting a lot of public employees.
All with lots of days off great health insurance AND huge pensions. Doge them; theyre mostly unnecessary. 7 depts where 1 could do it all with a smart assistant!
How about we decide for ourselves the type of structure we choose to live in, and any modifications or additions we deem necessary. I would also include in my decision making, the nature and specific choice of security for my family and myself, all within constitutional limits.
Loved Ronald Reagan. His second election was probably the last honest one, he won 49 states. No digital machines to count the votes. But his biggest mistake was having George HW Bush as his VP. That rat rode Reagan's coattails and pretended to be a conservative. He was never a conservative. He was CIA (headquarters is still named after him in McClean) and he was a founding father of the new world order. Then came Clinton, he dismantled the Justice Department completely, then came Dubya, worse than his father, and then came Obama, the Muslim, worse than all combined and then came illegitimate Biden, the wrecking ball and now here we are, because of them all. Eternal Memory to Ronald Reagan. But then the dirty rats came. Ronald Reagan is at peace. He's in a better place. A place of rest. We on the other hand had to live through a biological weapons attack, didn't we? Something "the boys" had been working on. They needed to get rid of President Trump to get their control back. And we also lived through a stolen election, didn't we. I hope one day I can meet Ronald Reagan and shake his hand in that better place because with what's going on now, it definitely isn't here. The demons want their power back. Life is still good. Life is still worth living. But there a lot of bad people with a lot of power and money and it is disappointing but the world was never a perfect place, was it?
There is little impetus for widespread volunteerism unless there is patriotism. There has to be a feeling that "we're all in this together' as part of a national consensus before many people will strongly feel the need to contribute. JFK's inaugural speech captured this sentiment when he encouraged citizens not to ask what their country could do for them but rather what they could do for their country.
BUT it's an even better feeling (using your measure), if, you Do a good / "Volunteer", when no one is looking. The trouble is, we've let our culture mold us into thinking it's wrong somehow to not accept a spotlight, a medal, an award, or share our doings with photos or talk. Modernity, and biggly Tech, has enhanced, sped up, the Evil's tools of influence on us, tempting us in so many ways 24/7. It's almost impossible for the innate goodness in folks to rise to the occasion. The innate/Godly reward for Doing Good, is lessened. We have to fight against this reality of our times. I think it's why now are record sales of Bibles! We're looking for reminders of God's "tools" to fight against the Evil's tools.
But then Reagan was talking to people who had been brought up with at least Christian moral values if not the actual reality of Christianity itself. These days morality is personal not collective, which is ironic considering Marxism is all into collectiveness.
What a great article thank you Robert. Very encouraging and motivating. I love Ronald Reagan. I was a young boy when he was president. I remember the excitement my father had when Carter was voted out. I had no idea about these things. Politics and fascism. I do know grateful that we didn’t lose our country in 2024. I hope the peoples hearts and minds can be changed. If not, it’s going to be a sad day in the world. Keep farming! All the best.
Ronald Reagan should be on Rushmore. As far as I’m concerned he was the greatest president America has ever had. His ideas and how to run policy was running America until Obama. People fail to recall he was a California democrat and he always said he didn’t leave the Democratic Party it left him. California politics showed him what not to do when it came to running the country. He reset America’s reputation on the world stage making her the leader again and when he spoke world leaders listened. I grew up during Reagan’s administration. I remember Carter and gas lines only being able to purchase gas with even it odd numbers on you license plate. When Iran took our hostages it was the lowest point for America. Some little piss ant country holding Americans and we did nothing. Reagan got elected and they came home right quick because Iran knew he wasn’t the one to screw around with. The Gipper was one that I hope Trump wins one more for.
yep .i LOVED PRES Reagan. Nancy was tough but she tried to get stem cell research going for alzheimers. BUT those lousy "holier than thou" "born again holy rollers FOUGHT AGAINST THAT! (no hate people; i am a Christian (and a scientist!) but i certainly am not an extreme nut case bible thumpin' "hit ya over the head" Extremist). Wish stem cell research had gone ahead. Alzheimers is awful for the person and their loved ones.
So angry! I hope Sec Kennedy and Dr. Malone can encourage stem cell research! Useful treatments for alzheimers, cancers are being blocked either by holy rollers or pharma. God wants doctors, researchers to use their God given gifts and talents and hands (Gifted Hands/Dr. Ben Carson🥰) and minds for medical cures along with God's help. SHEESH!
he recognized the good in people and their willingness to help each other. unfortunately he did not recognize the greed in bigpharma and signed them free of responsibility spreading dangerous jabs.
The original 1986 Act gave the injured the choice of whether to sue the manufacturer or take the suit to the U.S. Government. It was only after a Supreme Court decision stating that vaccines were "unavoidably unsafe" that everything changed and Pharma was off the hook. Ironically, those words were quoted from the original bill. For a great rendition of the entire process, watch https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/1986-the-untold-story/ Barbara Loe Fisher, who helped to form the bill, tells how its initial intent was slowly but surely watered down and then turned on its head.
Reagan, btw, was not happy about the NCVIA, for various reasons, but signed it anyway.
it is very unfortunate that he signed, probably against his own gut feeling. I did not know Fisher was involved, and imagine how she feels now that the whole thing has been bent into a way she certainly did not intend. But as usual, when the govt is involved, things run out of hand, like so often. Good intentions, and then greed and money turn them into disaster.
I would not be at all surprised if, in this area, he was completely naive, I can remember as a child in the 1940s you had to have clean sheets and clean towels and a pristine bathroom if the doctor came to visit, he (hardly ever 'she' in those days) was treated like a god. So I can see that RR would have been completely taken in, after all he was not a business man not even a politician really, just an actor with winning ways.
yes that date is right. But indeed, people of his age, and even my parent's age, and even now still, many people consider the word of the doctor sacrosanct. My dad knows his doc is not always right, but still treats him like at least a half-god. And we can also not forget that Reagan probably had already started dementing at the time. I know from experience how hard it is to recognize dementia when it starts (mom had it for 7+ years)
I loved Reagan’s comment that “Democrats just know so much that isn’t so.” Thank you Dr. Malone for giving us such a wonderful compilation of his comments and legacy. He has been greatly missed, especially during all the Democrat years in the White House! Thankfully we had President Trump step up to stop our rapid decent as a nation.
Thank you, Dr. Malone for the Great quotes. My favorite to remember is “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Berlin Wall speech, 1987
I remember that very clearly! Indeed we were once “the city on the hill” but we left God out of our lives and our country. He is all I need because one day I shall see Jesus “Face to Face!” When we have Him, He directs our every day walk!
Reagan saw through so much and was a gifted thinker and horseman. I recommend reading Riding With Reagan by John Barletta . A whole other dimension of the Gipper!
He started out as a Democrat, and was president of the Screen Actors Guild. He must have observed the communist infiltration into Hollywood, which I gather was real.
I miss Phil Hartman, whom I still consider one of the great comedic actors of all time. He could be hilariously funny without being mean-spirited (he also hilariously impersonated Clinton in the spirit of bipartisanship). His impressions of Reagan might be interpreted as a parody of how Reagan's political opponents portrayed him. I still laugh at this old SNL sketch.
Reagan had a patriotic heart and soul. The presidents after him up until Trump were all weak men who were totally corrupted by the globalists, Ozero being the worst. And we have been under “Corporate Fascism” for awhile, where mega corporations including mega banks all control the western governments. Up until Trump, that is, which is why the big corporations, the corrupt Democrats and the corrupt RINO Uniparty Republicans all hate him.
Tocqueville admired the American spirit of generosity, noting that citizens often engage in voluntary associations to help one another. He described this as a "self-tax for the common good," where individuals contribute to society through charitable actions rather than relying solely on government intervention. This reflects a belief that personal initiative can effectively address social needs.
Tocqueville believed that the reliance on government for social improvement could undermine individual responsibility. He emphasized the importance of civil associations in fostering community and mutual aid, suggesting that a vibrant civil society is essential for democracy. He warned against excessive government control, which could stifle the voluntary efforts of citizens to support one another.
Honestly if government would just leave me alone, just do what they were supposed to do, I would be far better off than I am.

Leftist's answer to a president they don't like is always a bullet. Lincoln, Reagan, Trump.
The left has only one philosophy since 2015: Orange Man Bad. They can explain everything by this.
As I read this (Watching Warroom) Jamie Raskin is on the floor defending Jack Smith and all the "wonderful things" he was doing to President Trump.
Raskin is evil personified.
And the actual list is much, much longer.
Hadn’t thought of that but you are so right, Lonnie!
As you know, I dislike calling progressives liberals because, well, they aren't. However leftist seem very appropriate because by progressing away from it they have utterly left our Constitution behind.
These disillusioned people are devoid of any sense of reality or truth.
But they are certain they hold the monopoly on truth.
Sure, they are certain in what they believe. Truth eventually wins. At the moment, forceful lies or cynical comment seems valid. Keeping founded in truth and not getting caught-up in the diatribe at the moment is vital. Excellent liars and deceivers are able to spin deception within a conversation. Staying diligent and grounded in truth without being wound into their web of argument is important.

I loved Pres Reagen and Times Were Good in America! yep wish he'd not gone with the Bush dynasty for VP.
Yes Ingrid, why this isn't mentioned (NCVIA) as well as his other stances as President makes this review incomplete.
More wisdom from Dr. Robert, but this dose by way of presenting the the wise words of another truly great man . . .
