The Lord is good to those who wait for him...

The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
-Lamentations 3:25-26

Do not be afraid of silence in your prayer time. It may be that you are meant to listen, not to speak. So wait before the Lord. Wait in stillness. Wait as David waited when he “sat before the Lord.” And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment.   -Amy Carmichael

It’s about people who want to destroy the West.
Period.
We know them by their flag. It’s not the French flag. It’s not even the flag of communism. It is the flag of violent third-worldism and hatred of the West.
It is the Palestinian flag. And it is everywhere. Image

VD Hanson: The Deep Midterms: The midterms are a fundamental choice over America’s economic future, national identity, immigration, energy, and Western civilization   Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism.

Over 300K visas revoked so far in Trump’s second term, State Department announces  A State Department official said that the revocations were done as a consequence for criminal activity, threats to public safety or immigration violations such as fraud or misrepresentation.
   At least 4,000 visas were yanked from foreign nationals “who engage in or facilitated birth tourism,” the official noted.

The New Bill That Might Be Trump 2.0’s Biggest Accomplishment  Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering a bill called the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. That isn’t a very descriptive name, but the author of a fine Substack called Energy Talking Points has a better one — he calls it “Freedom-to-Build legislation,” and says that it’s the biggest attempt at permitting reform that the United States has made in 46 years.
   One weird thing about this law is that it’s supported by pro-business and libertarian think tanks, like the Cato Institute, and also by a lot of left-wing NGOs like the Citizens’ Climate Lobby. How could such an odd alliance come together? Well, the short answer is that it involved some hardball politicking by an administration that takes its job a lot more seriously than any previous Republican administration of my lifetim

Elissa Slotkin’s threats to prosecute conservatives moves America closer to civil war  Treating political opposition as a crime is wrong. It’s unAmerican. And it’s dangerous. 
   Slotkin should apologize, and she should be censured by the Senate. 
   Opposition isn’t a crime. But tyranny is.

On November 3, Virginia voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to establish a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including abortion. Virginia already permits third-trimester abortions when continuing the pregnancy poses a serious threat to the mother’s life or health. What the amendment would change is the legal standard. Instead of requiring three physicians to certify a substantial and irremediable threat to health, the amendment would protect abortions that a single physician considers medically indicated to protect physical or mental health, without defining a minimum level of impairment. It would also place these protections in the Virginia Constitution, making them much harder for future lawmakers to change. Image

Of course, the ultimate nemesis of woke is Donald Trump. One of the many reasons they detest him is that he simply doesn’t care what they think; to them, that’s a hate crime. The power of not caring is our atomic bomb, and this guy is Harry Truman. Nothing makes them madder than people who either ignore them or laugh at them, and Trump does both. You saw how mad they got when that blubbery behemoth started running his/her/its mouth at his rally the other day and got dragged out. Trump called the creature “fat,” and Woke 2 nearly had a stroke because not only did Trump defy them, but what he said was true. Remember, truth is to a wokester as garlic is to a vampire.
  And you can do it too. You don’t need to submit to these weirdos. You can defy them. Never care. Laugh at them. They think they’ve seized the moral high ground when they call you racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, fat-phobic, whatever. Well, call in an airstrike on that high ground. They’ve got nothing. There’s literally nothing they can do to you except cry more, and it’s funny when they cry.

Survey finds 45% of students say violence is justified if it stops 'hate speech'  The Buckley Institute's 2026 undergraduate survey also found students prefer socialism to capitalism and that 22 percent say America deserved the Sept. 11 attacks.

The federal government has intensified efforts to curb rampant sexual abuse of students in the nation’s schools and to end the despicable practice of “passing the trash.”

Admission to selective schools should be based on academic merit and achievement, not on race. But that's not something progressives believe. They are going to have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into treating students based on their scores rather than their skin color.

Somebody alert the mainstream media: Mother Nature has interrupted their regularly scheduled environmental doom-and-gloom broadcast with a little good news.
   Monarch butterflies are fluttering into the headlines this autumn, as new reports indicate a 64% increase in their population.
