JGMalone, thanks for the smiles and bringing us all together every Sunday! Hopefully this will bring you some light.

Just like man nations face dark times as well. It’s in these times, when things aren’t well, people of faith turn to prayer.

During Covid while Joe Biden occupied the White House, it seemed we were in the darkest of times in recent memory. Everyday I would pray that Americans would wake up, stand up, and stop the government from consciously taking away peoples liberties and freedoms. I’d pray that I wasn’t alone. For years it stayed dark, it seemed things would never change.

In times of war, we pray that our soldiers stay safe. That in the darkness of war America will be successful, quickly obtain its goals and that conflict will bring peace.

In the Book of Genesis it begins by telling us how God created everything. The world was in darkness, (“darkness was over the face of the deep,” Genesis 1:2) before God created light. Therefore the first day begins in darkness and ends with light. You would think the first day would start with the sunrise but it doesn’t, it starts in the dark. While some may say this is the setting of a 24 hour day others suggest that in the Bibles view light and hope follow darkness.

It’s incredible that in the darkness, if we didn’t know what time it was, things wouldn’t seem to really change. It could be any time of night, there is no sign that change is taking place. But at 12 midnight, at that one instance, when nothing seems any different, it goes from pm to am, a new day begins. On purpose God chose to start a new day in the dark. It’s symbolic of how He works in our lives. He gives us a promise. He says we’ve come into a new day and light will follow.

The moment we pray the tide of the battle turns. The darkness doesn’t mean things haven’t changed. Darkness is not a sign that God is not working, that he didn’t hear our prayer. We have to walk by faith and not by sight. You may not see it but when you prayed you left the pm and came into the am. It’s a new day, the light is on its way. We all have to live by faith. No matter what we’ve been through, if we have faith and we pray, it may not be immediate, but in Gods time the light of day will shine on you, and you will find your peace. Keep your faith! Happy Sunday!

Isaiah 42:16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

and from my favorite Psalm, Psalm 139

(11)If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

(12) even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

and thank you James, Happy Sunday to you and yours

The year is 2021. Your doctor, at risk of losing his medical license and a wealth of incentives, assures you that the new shot is safe and effective. HHS Secretary Becerra, zealous in his federal protections against the hazards sponsored by federal government, announces a door-to-door campaign to benignly urge his beloved fellow citizens to follow the science. According to a report by Zero Hedge, now vanished, citizen responses to the visits were to be recorded on government forms.

Canada is still pushing shot as "safe and effective ".

James Lord's avatar

As well as the MAID program, I hear. They're prepared to relieve stressed-out citizens from all their troubles.

MrsMc's avatar

that sounds scary

LoverOfHills's avatar

We are too, MrsMc! Covid jabs are still on the "schedule" It's even still recommended for a 6 months old baby, 2 if Moderna, 3 if Pfizer! https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-notes.html#note-covid-19

*ALSO folks, Note the message on this CDC page, informing the public, HHS Secretary Kennedy has Zero Authority to help us.

** For this treatment of Sec Kennedy, I am blaming President Trump, and his TDS Admin, all pretending to love him, love Maga, love Maha. They fooled him, us ALL.

"Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website to its version as of 12:00 AM on January 29, 2025. Information on this page may be modified and/or removed in the future subject to the terms of the court’s order and implemented consistent with applicable law. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from truth. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology due to the harms and divisiveness it causes. This page does not reflect reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it."

beccar1954's avatar

That’s due to the court order, which the executive branch doesn’t control. Trump isn’t to blame for that. The disclaimer indicates the position of the administration. Kennedy and Trump both have made a lot of headway and deserve credit for it. You can’t reverse course on something way bigger than an aircraft carrier at the drop of a hat, especially when lunatic judges keep trying to sabotage everything. It’s two steps forward, one step back, but we are making progress.

Early July 2021. Good one to save, James, thanks. AND this was just after They KNEW, that ... We KNEW. Because on June 14, 2021 - Dr. Malone and Steve Kirsch, joined Bret Weinstein's Darkhorse podcast, to tell us, (at 2hr17mins) WARN US, the jabs DISTRIBUTED ALL over the body, especially, in the (usually a RED FLAG/stop the vaccine) REPRODUCTIVE organs.

Following that podcast, on Sunday, Maria Bartiroma on Fox interviewed one of these men, - silly me, I assumed the jabs would be pulled, Fox was On IT. They would WARN EVERYONE, forcing our govt to pull the experimental jabs.

This is was the week many of us, realized This ALL was a Evil, Dark Plan. And even our "conservative" media, was NOT going to speak the Truths to the vulnerable PUBLIC.

Make a note - 2:17, THE Distribution Study. Forever grateful for your courage, Docs Malone.

James Lord's avatar

I appreciate Senator Paul in myriad ways, even if I thought he was overly tolerant of the jab rollout. He, second only to Ron Johnson in the Senate, has been among the very few legislators who spoke out forcefully against COVID tyrannies. And he is the only one I ever remember wiping the smug smile off Becerra's face, drawing a sheen of sweat.

Sen. Ron Johnson too. Link- Dr. Pierre Kory, May 2020, with Sen Johnson, before the Senate. https://youtu.be/5jabZo9JMm0?si=i2YlbVktD6fNBYoO

"Our treatment is not unique. This is a calamity. Timing is critical. The world needs to know this. They are not coming to the hospital early enough. We're much more stable in the hospitals. We're ready to take care of patients. If they wait at home with these symptoms, we're not going to be able to stabilize them.

"We're trying to disseminate. A month ago, we got it to the WH. We still haven't heard. We're experts in our field. Everything in our protocol is safe."

May 6, 2020. Sen Johnson, "We've sent it to the WH 4 times."

*NEVER Forget folks - the WH did not allow Treatments to be known. People died, UNNECESSARILY.

Then along came the evil US Supreme Court, and foiled the Biden admin's benign plans to forcibly save all companies with 100 or more employees. Their glorious mRNA remedy thwarted.

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

Again, Thank the Lord for Dr. Memoli who was instrumental in getting that before the US Supreme Court. Bravery in Action as he walked into the eye of the storm and was in danger of losing his job at NIH and his medical license.

As I understand current realities, the vestiges of official torments linger to this day.

Patricia's avatar

I do remember this back in 2021! I did not get any covid jabs, as I did not entirely believe this was real- seriously- how could our own government mandate every citizen be forced to get this vaccine? The propaganda that continued back in 2020-2024 about how this pandemic began, the where-who-how it spread, then the continued “air-time-messages” from the CDC, & how the public needs to get vaccinated! I never bought into this, & I thank God every day for my health, & the wisdom to not get a “flu shot”. In my mind, it was misleading & wrong what so many “top-notch”, trained professionals, along with our government, did to the American people, & of course, other countries involvement.

Trump is dealing with the inferior government. The superior government controls the IRGC who call the shots (literally as they have all the guns). So until the IRGC is taken out there will be no lasting deal. To illustrate my point I was at a party where a couple who were missionaries told a story about an arab freedom fighter who was in a hospital where they were ministering. They ministered to him about living peacefully which he promised to do once he left the Hospital. They later heard that upon leaving the hospital the first thing he did was get a rifle and rejoin his cadre.

Everyone gets a reputation and for that reason the saying "Welsh on a Bet" came to be.

The reputation of middle easterners is that you cannot trust what many say. They will say what you want to hear and then do whatever they want.

The Hoole piece is excellent. That list could be expanded greatly. Here but one (my paraphrase of what heart doctor Malcolm Kendrick writes):

The “official” treatment for heart attack in the early 20th century (roughly, 1910-1960) was weeks of mandated bed rest. Alas, that turned out to be almost the worst possible advice that could have been given. As results, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of middle-aged men died years earlier than they needed to. As with much medical "wisdom", the original advice was based upon someone’s eminent opinion and not upon anything resembling rigorous study or research. Reportedly, medical “wisdom” only began to change during the Space Race, when it during simulations, it was found that a healthy astronaut’s muscles (including heart) deteriorate rapidly during enforced idleness. Thus, the need for exercise vigorously in zero G.

I’m surprised the mRNA “vaccines” didn’t make the list. I (and many others) suspect that if an honest accounting is ever made (I know, don’t hold your breath!) the ultimate toll of dead and seriously injured will be in the millions, perhaps tens of millions. A good case can be made that it’ll likely be one of the deadliest medical interventions ever by a large margin.

Happy Sunday all. Cold and gray here in the northeast. Seems like a good day to chill out and get ready for the week. Rest and recharge people. Peace.

Patricia's avatar

Thank you, that sounds like a good idea! Colorado has sunshine, but the skies are not bright blue like years past! Graying, with a tint of orange; maybe smoke from a fire somewhere, & blowing from the North. Have a wonderful day…:)

Very good set. Start with decades of “medical” advice. Reagan jobs, Aristotle advice, Swalwell how’s your drink? As far as cholesterol pathway a 30 step pathway. Why called the cholesterol pathway when two other steroids at the end testosterone and estrogen. So statins inhibit your hormone productions. Statin inhibitors inhibit at step 5. This entire cholesterol inhibition marketing is a true boondoggle menace. Unfortunately docs did not all understand the biochemistry they were taught. Meanwhile there are many important molecules generated by the pathway from step 5 to 30, such as quinones very important for muscles such as the heart and all others. Muscle pain often causes folks to get off statins, thankfully!! No doubt Doc Malone is familiar with all of this having been very versed in biochemistry.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

There is biochem and then there is med school biochem. I took a med school biochem course in grad school and had to make a C or better, the med students were on pass/fail, ie.. D or better.

Jennifer A Runquist's avatar

Truly sad that docs can’t figure out the true nature of the testosterone/estrogen/cholesterol pathway Actually cholesterol is an important cell membrane component. However, Some docs do appear to have somewhat mastered how to deal with afflictions. My brother who is an internal medicine/psychiatrist with a not high cholesterol count was advised by his doc to take a statin just to be safe and he does!! Ridiculous! Thanks for observation of doc knowledge base.

Reading an interesting novel about Babylon and how beautiful it was composed of colorful glazed brick and verdant extensive irrigated fields leading it to be called the fertile crescent. Was overcome by Persia but came back but,then visited by the Mongol hordes and turned into the wasteland of modern Iraq. The message there is that invading hordes are bad news as Britain is finding out and we are on the cusp of the same

I feel like we are in a ping pong game. Open , Closed, Open , Closed. When will Trump figure out Netanyahu doesn’t want the war to end.

We are in a ping pong game of our own. Rain, Snow, Rain , Snow.

Have a great day!

Bingo!! I have been complaining, bitterly, for several years that not one single “good” or service I pay for actually works as it is supposed to! Now, at least there is a word for It: ensh**ification!

Debra Nolasco's avatar

Just as annoying is our "opt-out" society. We are continually being assaulted, from every direction, with something that is irritating, obnoxious, irksome, or grating, until we "opt-out". We are not allowed to physically assault someone until they "opt-out". It should be no different with any other form of assault, whether it is visual, audio, mental, psychological, or emotional.

Greetings from the Thumb Coast! The sun is shining! But, wait: the weather forecast predicts rain and (more) snow within 24 hours. Is it spring or is it not spring? Is the Strait of Hormuz closed - or -is it open. Had a six-month checkup with the primary this past week: statin advised for elevated cholesterol. I asked, "How about I revise my diet; think that would help?' Response: "Sure. Diet modification works." Add that to the teeter-totter of the confusing world in which we live! This week's Sunday "Phunnies" contains sufficient humorous reflections to give one pause for thought! Slainte, one and all!

Martin A. Allen's avatar

Home run quality humor illustrative of our times.

As a retired white haired physician I can tell you that the timeline presented on diet and medications is my lived experience. Add to this 2002 estrogen causes breast cancer. There are many more fallacies as well and I could go on. I’m pleased that I learned from the thalidomide scandal (well before I started my training) and developed a healthy dose of skepticism about all of the “new breakthrough” medications. The food pyramid had me until about 1995.

I’m proud to have resisted the tide of expert recommendation in the latter half of my career.

Looks like Homer's in the midst of a cold snap. Me too. Lucky my planting has been minimal. The HVAC control device tells me it's low-40s outside. My phone tells me it's mid-40s outside. I set the phone on the control device to let them sort out their differences.

Lots of greatness today, but "Make no peace with evil" prompted me to share this. University of Texas had very special guest this week to begin their recognition of the 250 Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. The guest was Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Here is the link

Just reread. The “stable” folks calling Trump unstable. I have been thinking Trump has been considering world madness for about 30 years. Fortunately he survived and is helping with many items such as fuel. All the fuels came from plants!! CO2 does not control the climate!! Vaccines have never been tested against true placebos, apparently just the previous vaccine. True madness. But we fortunately have fighters such as Malone, Trump, Kirsch, and many more in government and thousands of communities. Thankfully our Republic set up has 50 states to contend with!
