Particularly funny memes today. Rubio certainly has his work cut out for him! We all understand why congress isn’t notified regarding a military strike. Democrats would notify the enemy!

Loved the Fetterman meme; the only adult in the party. I’m praying for the Iranian people. May they soon know peace and prosperity, and most of all, freedom!! Thanks, Malone’s.

And…… Obama’s Persian queenie Valerie Jarrett must be unhappy today.

ComeQuicklyLord's avatar

She’s weeping and wailing—all that cash Obama gave them is for nought. But she’s being comforted by Obama.

Happy to be among my people. Some other Substackers I follow have some real loonies too. I had some concerns with Iran and hope things go as smooth as they seem they will? I’m old enough though to say WE OWED THEM THIS! I remember when they took our hostages and the outrage I felt then as a Pre-teen. I felt who the heck is this country and who do they think they are for taking Americans hostage. We had such weak leadership in the White House under Carter and he started the “let’s negotiate with them and cross our fingers approach” that has failed for the past 47 years with dealing with Iran. Then Ronnie Reagan came in riding his horse and serious threat if they didn’t release our citizens. They were home pretty quickly and that was the beginning of the US winning again and national pride was sweeping our nation. Nothing seemed impossible and the future was bright. Those were days that I long for and never thought I’d see what’s going on in this country today. Ron and Nancy are surely turning over in their graves. Trump is doing all he can to bring that back and the resistance he is facing is just insane to me. Why are people wanting our country to fail? It baffles the mind. I love my country no matter its faults because it still is the greatest country on earth. If you believe any different why would you want to live here? Anyone who is against that shouldn’t be leading us but here we are and I don’t see anything good should the other party come back to power. We all gotta be pulling in the same direction for this thing to work.

I, too, have lived during the history you describe. Many citizens are ignorant of it (too young, ill- or un-informed, close minded). We who do know it and also love our country find it incomprehensible when our enemies are supported by our own citizens and leaders. It should motivate us to denounce such support but we are “too busy” or just don’t want to be bothered (self centered). Then, we have Republican “leaders” who refuse to pass the SAVE act so we can have clean elections.

James Schwartz's avatar

I am becoming despondent with both parties. He reps have had majority in both houses and have done ZERO with it. Trump has done everything by EO which will be reversed day 1 when the White House is occupied with a libtard. I get what you’re saying that we seem to be just sitting back and not out there having our voices heard. It seems that way for sure but I still feel there is a silent majority that is ready to rise up and will when it’s called for. Both parties have stuck us with 40 trillion of debt so it’s not like one is solely responsible. If and when it’s needed I’ll be at the front

Also well said!

Couldn’t have said it any better. I’m proud to be an American too🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Like you, I am old enough (older actually) to retain photographic memories of blind folded hostages & the crashed helicopters from the pathetic “rescue” mission. Not sure I buy into the whole PTSD thing, but I have to admit this has touched a ‘take-that-you-a**hole’ nerve. But what so many on the right fail to understand, this is not a revenge moment. It is a ‘lead, follow, or get out of the way’ moment.

If we can't 'deal' with a problem, we eliminate it. Sound wisdom and a permanent solution. Let us not forget that 'all' our enemies, foreign and domestic, have advocated, supported, and financed the destruction of "We the People" and the United States for decades. Like the mullahs, they have used a huge amount of our tax dollars to do it. Our national debt is an obvious clue. Always remember who made that possible and why.

Patricia's avatar

Amen, I also love America, & I have a problem with those people that continue to yell, & scream “they hate America”…Well, if those young (& some seniors), hate America, then they need to pack their bags & high-tail-it-out & find a country that fuels their hatred for America. God Bless America…:).

SR Miller's avatar

Add me as another who lived thru the past 47 years - and then some, and while I have mixed emotions about the necessity of the weekend’s actions (hell bent religious zealots rarely give you alternatives 😔) I’ve shed no tears the past 24 hours, nor do I expect to (for the hell bent religious zealots, that is).

But, I ask this as a Patriot, when does Our Country become NOT our country? POTUS Trump retires in 3, lord willing a sane conservative America loving freedoms loving fighter takes his place — but what if? Who from 100 years ago would recognize USofA 2 years ago, the direction we seem to be generally heading, even today?

No, not channeling Eeyore, just concerned.

Sonia Nordenson's avatar

According to my crystal ball, there's a new leadership coming, and it's not donkeys or elephants but a small, wise council. Donald Trump will be our last president. This is the kind of thing the Golden Age is all about.

Cheryl B.'s avatar

Well said! I’m a little older than you but share your sentiments.

Back when the Iran hostage crisis was going on, there was a remake of The Beach Boys song going around that went “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, Bomb bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran…” It took 47 years for that to become a reality because there have been people in power who want globalism, and the only way to bring that about was with the destruction of the United States.

Michael Williams's avatar

Although all were brilliant, Fetterman, as the adult amongst the democRAT children says it all.

Patricia's avatar

John Fetterman is strong, & I like to listen to him voice his concerns & he is not afraid to speak his mind. Yes, he is the only Adult in the democratic room. In my opinion.

Remember when he was seen as uncouth? Funny how opinions change, kinda like the weather.

These are wicked bad! I especially cracked up about the 72 Virginians. God I love Marco, he continuously makes my day. I needed these! Some days are better than others for needing comic relief. I've got a lineup for my health today; far- infrared sauna and a separate light application for my body parts, massage roller with far infrared roller balls, and a nice fire later with an adult beverage. ( just a wee sip).

Brandy's avatar

Wow, nice lineup. Enjoy your day!

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

DD, I can't recall. . .?

Was it you who put me onto using a frother for my coffee? or JuJu?

Jane Tracy's avatar

I just started using one too about 3 weeks ago! I love mine😉

Cheryl B.'s avatar

You been missing out! Been using one for at least a decade

Jane Tracy's avatar

I know that now since I’ve been using it!!

Cheryl B.'s avatar

Enjoy! I have one I use for travel too from IKEA. I love that one actually the best as it’s not as powerful and makes less of a mess if u make a boo boo lol

Jane Tracy's avatar

I had a few messes the first week… lol

Trial and error

Not me, I missed that recommendation.

Is this Red Light Bed therapy, and if so, what are the results, and how long before you notice a difference?

D D's avatar
21mEdited

Two different machines,(sauna ) I ordered the "hooga" health, recommended by AMD. two different wavelengths, hand held. $45 or so. I believe a bed is much more expensive and prob. really good. Both my husband and I notice the results on any sore joint (his ankle from a vigorous walk) mine a sore knee area. I seldom notice my joints, so when I do, I get on it with DMSO or arnica cream and the light. We have only had the light for about two weeks.

Jane Tracy's avatar

Dr Jill, thanks for the great memes today!! Marco Rubio’s dance card is getting might full‼️I loved the one why Trump doesn’t inform Congress, given that we have people there who hate Trump and our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I pray 🙏 for all involved in this war and that it may be short lived.

Have a great Sunday Everyone!!!

What a great collection today. All spot on!

I think the problem isn't Artificial Intelligence take over jobs. It is Marco Rubio taking over jobs

T. Paine's avatar

I love the ideals America strives to achieve but accepting the level of corruption, manipulation/deception signifies a delusion has been accepted as reality. America’s leadership is morally bankrupt and economically criminal. Our elections are rigged, they chose who we get to vote for, they allow the bureaucracy to grow bloated, fight wars spending trillions we can’t pay back and lose. Oh yea and they poisoned me and millions intentionally. It’s not about love or hate of America it’s about holding our representative accountable for not representing us. Trumps sledge hammer may be necessary to break the cycle but be careful what you wish for as unintended consequences have a way of spoiling the intended outcome. We are in for a wild ride like the planet’s humans have never seen.

Rubio memes are epic!

The meme about some women in America wanting Sharia versus Iranian women fighting against it should be a warning to everyone, especially New Yorkers and America in general.

Under Mamdani and earlier predecessor's, Times Square was over taken (set aside) for Muslims to pray in the streets during Ramadan with food being given to them for Iftar, the breaking of the fast, by local stores. We are looking more like the UK and Europe. NOTE: There’s about 250,000 Muslims in NYC.

Soon there will be no dogs allowed in NYC (they are haram to Islam) and No Go Zones will be marked off. All of this will be done for the false god Allah, to replace Christians and Jews worshipping the God of the Bible—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose Messiah is Jesus Christ, the Lord of lords.

To know the history of Islam is to know that it is not a peaceful religion, but a violent political movement that grew by the edge of the sword. It hates Jews and Christians, and coexistence is impossible under Sharia Law and Islamist rule.

If America is to maintain its Christian heritage, it must not become secular like Europe, which has lost its spiritual soul, but it must return to Christ, not by force of law or a sword which is not Christian, but through a total change of heart toward God—repentance and faith in Christ. That changes individuals, families, and culture. Without this change, the Islamic call for prayer will be in a neighborhood near you, and you will be powerless to change it.

Recognize Islam as a curse upon our nation, not a blessing, and read Deuteronomy 28, as to why that is and what the solution is.

Actually, this is not what I voted for, and not what I was promised. Trump promised no regime change wars. Take a look at https://greenwald.substack.com/p/trump-starts-a-major-regime-change?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=128662&post_id=189451771&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=d13h5&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email if you want to see some of the receipts. "Vote the pro-peacce ticket. Vote Trump-Vance."

Vietnam was a mess, but it at least had a port to get supplies in and out. It was a disaster. Afghanistan was a disaster, and a much smaller bite than Iran. Attempting regime change in Iran is going to be yet another unnecessary disaster. And for what? Iran is none of our business.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

He has promised no US boots. Iranians told to buck up and take back,control of themselves. Cannot think of any polite way to describe comparing this to Afghanistan or Nam.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

True. At this point we just have to pray the void created will not be filled by dark forces. . . However, I figure the CIA will be doing their share to "influence" the situation. . . Perhaps that will keep them busy and away from US citizens.

James Lord's avatar

Yep. Maybe this is the right thing done for the right reasons. Maybe it isn't. Truth is that I'm confronted with so many wedge issues (support/don't support) that I can't keep up. And lies at every turn, from every party involved. That means I have to trust, and my reservoirs of trust are nearly depleted.

RE the 72 Virginians meme with George Washington: Have you read the Farewell Address lately? I think you should.

Bruce Miller's avatar

Washington warned that the greatest danger to the Union stemmed from the combination of factionalism and external invasion. Washington explained that partisanship “open[ed] the door to foreign influence and corruption” because it weakened voters’ abilities to make reasoned and disinterested choices. Rather than choosing the best men for office, the people would base decisions on “ill-founded jealousies and false alarms,” and so elect those in league with foreign conspirators.

Just as now., where Democrats support our enemies such as Venezuela, Iran and China and are in the pockets of those malign powers. Just as they practice regional factionalism, running bogus sanctuaries that shield the millions they allowed illegally to cross our borders.

I also think that it is time that we start calling them by their real name.

That party has been infiltrated by communists ‼️‼️

As it has been since the Roosevelt Administration. Except nobody wanted to deal with it.

Ana González's avatar

They also shamed McCarthy.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

thanks for the summary Bruce!

Dan Klein's avatar

Malone's post is about Iran. What do you suppose Washington would think about the US's war on Iran?

Bruce Miller's avatar

Unfortunately, Washington died before the campaign against the Barbary pirates - Islamic slavers and terrorists even then. So we shall never know if his proscription against foreign entanglements extended to supine acceptance of endless attacks against our nation. But I seriously doubt he would have opposed that bloodying of the barbarians of those times.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

For sure. It was Jefferson who campaign against the Muslim slavers, wasn't it? Another great Founder.

Bruce Miller's avatar

Yes. and fortunately because of the Naval Act of 1794, signed by President George Washington on March 27, 1794, the first six frigates of the United States Navy were built and ready to protect American merchant ships from Barbary pirates, including the storied USS Constitution.. This act officially established the U.S. Navy, addressing threats to commerce and marking a major shift in national defense policy. Which leads me to believe that Washington would have endorsed the campaign against the Barbary Pirates had he been alive. The predecessors of the Tehranian terrorists of today.

Sunday strip memes are awesome this morning! Secretary Rubio is definitely busy- he has to keep up with President Trump; two “energized”, hard working officials. I had to look up Anthropic, & find out who, or what it is. This administration is “Full-steam-ahead” mode.

The “Adult-in-the-Room” is representative of the Dems actions, & I appreciate John Fetterman standing up for his values, & his voice is being heard!

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

Unfortunately, Altman's AI has stepped in to fill the void. I, for one, believe that Anthropic (and it's founders) has tried to keep morals in the mix. OpenAI, not so much.

My favs D babies, UN utter nonsense and the truly astonishing liberal women supporting a regime that kills women if they step out of line. In what way can this be understood, as America respects women mostly. They just hate America? Because of Trump? Or they are Ds who want to take over the country because they believe in Democracy!!
