I should have included this one:

"In Praise of Reader Comments" - where I note that our Rulers hate them.

Just posted a comment there.

It raining here at my place and the weather is cold - what is it like in Alabama just now I'm curious, but I could look it up - still...I hope things are going OK in your neck of the woods. You know what I consider my neck of the woods - here I'll list the states - NC, VA, WV, TN, KY. That is a nice region of states you want my opinion. Nice and balanced with coast and hills and rugged folks with heritage and special places when this country was founded.

I added this one after I sent out my email:

PREDICTION: No science department at any SEC college will ever produce a study debunking Pfizer’s “safe and effective vaccine.” This world-exclusive article explains why I am confident making this prediction.

As far as I know, I am the only journalist in America who wrote about this.

Nice writing and I guess the SEC's days as a football powerhouse league are numbered.

That was a depressing one, but hardly unexpected. When a player has as much money as Pharma in general, Pfizer in particular, they become an irresistible force. The SEC plays with the big boys, and is the biggest boy, in a very big game. Not taking pharma money would put them at a huge competitive disadvantage to the other conferences. They like being top dog. Just goes to show we can't win as long as the bad guys have all the money.

Bill appreciate your efforts in educating the public and I hope you see how they these folks deceived the public that I call the greatest crime of the century. I just hope all our efforts resonate with the public iin countering the false messaging by the Main Street media to cover up the scandal and deceive the public from the truth. Amazes me the conservative media ignores the elephant in the room if no one held accountable how does this country ever move forward in restoration of the public trust in the Rule of Law

I still haven't read up on Notes and how to use it to best effect. I will though.

You can also "ReStack" an article that you have edited.

Had to learn that on my own, and seriously - "notes", the tool of it, would benefit from a FAQ - you know frequently asked questions with responses - if not that, how about a summary of the notes app please - learning on the fly can be fun but when a new tool is presented it is better if folks understand how it works or at least can study up on that if so desired.

The best thing it does is automatically post each of your articles to Notes, where they can be seen by Notes surfers.

Who wants to be a "Notes" surfer? Not I.

But to each their own I reckon and sometimes new tools are fun, but if the rollout was sort of "beta" in nature, sometimes that leads to future problems. I've seen this happen many times in computer games and the end result often is the game doesn't get a following.

I read some of those articles. Whew. Still enjoying your writing and perspective, even if I am disturbed by some of your points. Like what is most likely to happen in 2024. Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse reminds readers constantly: it's all about the envelopes. I know Truth wins, but between now and then I am not looking forward to how that victory is obtained. You also made the point that this platform allows us to know we are not alone. That is so very true in my experience. Commenters share information and hope.

Do you have an article dealing with indigo buntings?

If not, I'm just gonna have to say that is one article you don't have for THAT topic...but maybe you do.

Do you?

ps - in my pee-wee story there is some "code" there but it relies upon a reader who loves the game of football!

Bill not to rain on your parade but the negatively is what the left goal is to convince the public their in charge and there nothing you can do about it. I believe that truth and facts matter and each of us can be influencers one person at a time in educating the public of exposing their well-design plan to destroy America and Trump and showing them they're still a pathway to hold them all accountable and how they been bamboozled and played as fools. Either way it will be the American people who will decide in 2024 the fate of America answering the questions does the Rule of Law matter?https://jseaman.substack.com/p/accountability?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

There's a Bill Rice, Jr. article for that. Let me go get the kids and I'll find it for you.

Bill you do a good job in educating the public on issues you feel there missing but on this one subject in how to restore the public trust in the rule of law and the pathway to hold those accountable in the Russian hoax conspiracy it’s better to defer those who did this for a living in getting the truth out to the public in countering the lefts campaign to cover up the truth. It better to compliment each other works and be a force multiplier so the public can decide if the information is true or not

Thanks for the suggestion, John. Substack is serving as a "force multiplier" challenging lots of faux or dubious narratives ... so that's a very good thing.

If they pass the RESTRICT Act nothing having to do with the laws as they stand will matter.

Buffalo_Ken's avatar

Hi Bandit. If that act gets passed, then I guess all bets are off?

What irritates me in a way is I have a residence in the state of the senator, Warner I think his name is, who apparently sponsored this federal overreach - what a shame that senator is to the state he supposedly represents is what I think.

In fact, I think if Madison was in the room with Warner he would chastise him publicly. If Jefferson was in the room he would give him a nudge undeniable. If George Wythe was in the room he would get close to Warner's face and say direct - what you propose is unconstitutional and it will be struck down.

If Sam Adams was in the room he would slap him in the face. If Franklin was there he would tell him privately that he spent some quiet peaceful time of discourse in the bathtub with Warner's wife and she said "you better not mess with Franklin" and then Franklin would tell Warner he needs to calm his emotions and realize the state he represents.

I hope Warner gets a clue but I doubt he will. Pompous to the nth degree. Maybe he needs a warning about those of us who still respect the Constitution. Maybe, maybe not, but to even type this after the act gets passed could potentially be "criminal" in the minds of the feds? Well, I'm just telling what I sense - most of the founders are rolling in their graves and that is not just a warning - it is a FACT. They are ashamed of what their new ideas have turned into and they know this is not what they wanted. Some of us alive here in the present time know this as well and we play to win.

I'm posting a comment here just because I wonder - should articles be judged based on the number of comments? I don't thinks so - I don't think articles are some sort of popularity contest. They ought be judged on merit, and often, especially lately, folks seem clueless about that. Clueless about merit and the reality I put forth is that cluelessness is somewhat intentional from a few elitist who you want my opinion are most lacking in merit.

How you like them circular apples?

* ps - just updated the pee-wee football article. It is here:

https://buffaloken.substack.com/p/pee-wees-and-a-wolf

why not advertise....how is anybody can find anything if there ain't no ads?

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

The "likes" and "comments" shouldn't be overly important but it is what it is. They are one "metric" to gauge whether anyone is actually reading the articles. The more "likes" or comments you get, the more likely other people might be to read the story. And if you slave away on one story that matters to you, you also want as many people as possible to read it.

So, for better or worse, I do look at those numbers.

I'll go check out your pee-wee football article.

Buffalo_Ken's avatar

I don't disagree, but a "like" is one thing but merit another. Merit is important to me.

And you must know, and I've gone on record already saying as such, but one of your articles not too long ago talking about American Football sort of got me going down the pathway I chose, and I think that is special and it speaks to good communication.

And above and beyond that, who cares whether the SEC has good football teams if the universities are slaves to big pharma.....you know?

Thanks,

Ken

SInce there's nothing in this article to get anyone worked up (unless you drill down), I'm thinking it won't have a huge comment count. But it was a great idea to put this handy list out there - thanks!

Well, I guess if you haven't heard about it, then don't worry about it.

But, I have heard about it and I find it disconcerting.

If it comes to pass, I suspect it will be put to the test right quick and it won't be perty.
