Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

✝️✝️✝️

Though I walk in the midst of distress, You will revive me;

You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

And Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh will accomplish what concerns me;

O Yahweh, Your lovingkindness endures forever;

Do not fail the works of Your hands.

— Psalm 138:7-8 LSB

I needed those words today.

Thank you, Janice.

Me too, I was feeling a little “down and out” and overwhelmed. I almost didn’t click on Comments today. But reading Janice’s encouraging words from Scripture were just what I needed! Thank you, Janice for sharing God’s Word with us. I am grateful that He uses you to minister to us!

"Heaven shall shine more than when illuminated by the orders of light while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works. Those shall not appear in their season, who commanded them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners. The thoughts of those who dwell on the earth shall transgress within them and they shall be perverted in all their ways. They shall transgress, and think themselves gods while evil shall be multiplied among them. And punishment shall come upon them, so that all of them shall be destroyed."

Virginia is a mess, a treacherous mess.

Virginia used to be such a nice state. Was stationed in various areas for 16 years.

Virginia once was known to be for lovers; haters decided that couldn't stand so they invaded and now rule.

LMWC's avatar

We did Virginia for our honeymoon, nearly 49 years ago. Down the coast, up through the middle, back down the western side onto Skyline Drive. When we hit the Blue Ridge Parkway, we cut across West Virginia, big mistake, as the main interstate highway was under reconstruction and we were rerouted constantly, up and down the mountains. It was quite an experience. The VA is for lovers slogan was huge then and part of why went there.

CStone's avatar

Drove the Blue Ridge Parkway years ago, staying in a different B&B every couple of nights. We ended up in Shenandoah Valley. Best trip ever. Peaceful. Beautiful and Shenandoah Valley was breathtakingly beautiful.

New Virginia Slogan, "Virginia is for CHEATERS!" .

Michelle Obama "When they go low, we go high!" Apparently she had the chart upside down.

Next Virginia AG Jay Jones will be suing the Girl Scouts and Krispy Kreme for false advertising. The Thin Mints don't work and Donuts do not have zero calories as clearly marked on each donut!

Washington, Jefferson and Monroe must be spinning in their Virginia graves. The direction of the spin would be counter to the coriolis effect. Anything to counter the Progressive spin counterclockwise.

CPK (Charles Kalina)'s avatar

Much of it still is. The DC suburbs have gone the way of their Maryland counterparts. Notice how the gerrymandered districts radiated out from DC to rope in all the Democrats.

This is why I think we should revoke home rule for the District AND rope in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs as well.

Thomas F Davis's avatar

That will only increase the pressure to make DC a state.

Mature American's avatar

Maybe Virginia should retrocede their portion of DC that they took to back to maintain the slave trade!

We lived in Annandale during the late 90’s while my husband was stationed at DISA. It was still a lovely place to reside. Now, I’m glad we did not retire in VA. So sad.

I agree. All I have been doing as of late, from watching Karen "Largemouth' Bass, to the mess in Virginia with State Sen. Louise Lucas, 4x Felon WEED business partner, VA demokkkrats in general, and Justin "Afro Luther King" Pearson, I am just sitting back, watching and eating popcorn.

LOL, Afro Luther King. He is a clone for a Chia Pet.

PapayaSF's avatar

It’s dumb for Virginia Democrats to float this plan about replacing the entire court that just ruled against them. In the future they'll be bringing others cases to the justices whose jobs they just threatened. Brilliant!

PonyBoy's avatar

A CIA Stooge runs it(Virginia). It's no wonder they were attempting to "cheat" their way through the next election.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Virginia is what you get when you put a s_Election system in place to maintain power. So is California, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Minnesota and New York to mention a few. You have a minority in those states who have decided they will hold onto power whatever it takes, ethical or not and mostly not. They will gaslight us until the end of time, forever protecting the s_Election systems they have put in place, lest they lose them and we are able to restore truly verifiable and certifiable elections again.

I ask everyone, who thinks it okay, that the government has stolen OUR election system and reports THEIR results to us? Perhaps if enough people can finally come to the correct, constitutional conclusion that elections are Ours, not theirs, then we can restore our country and our fundamental idea that we the people run the country, not the government.

They steal our elections with unconstitutional processes like wholesale mail in ballot fraud enabled by 30 day (and more) mail in periods from unverifiable election stealers and programmable machines which tell them precisely how many ballots they need to dump at the end of an election to stay in power. That's a fact and yet many people will not get involved and do something to stop the theft of power and wealth. For those of you who didn't see it, according to Susie Wiles, POTUS Chief of Staff, in a speech at the International Womens Conference, the dam may about be ready to break proving the theft of the 2020 elections and more.

Peter GL's avatar

So the politicians in VA want to retire justices at 53, yet they want to hold on to their positions until they are at death’s door? Where is the logic in that?

Glitterpuppy's avatar

Demokrat logic, of course..

Well.. I do agree but maybe there is another plan. I’m always flabbergasted at how something that appears to be going wrong turns out better than I thought. I think trying to stay positive is hard but it’s needed.

John Galt?'s avatar

I am not sure why people deliberately hang out in a Substack they oppose. Perhaps it's a deeply narcissistic personality disorder that makes them want to correct all the "wrong" people they encounter. I suspect it's a more deliberate strategy by never-trumpers to sow division. Do yourself a favor and block them. Answering their posts only serves to move their post higher up in the algo's. Just click their icon to the left of the name, click the three dots in their profile, and click "Block". Keep in mind they will often reappear with new identities. The TDS in these people is strong.

Julian Assange Drops Nuclear Truth Bomb – "ZERO DIRT on Trump Because He’s the Most SQUEAKY CLEAN Man in Washington"

By Jonathan Gregory

Washington, D.C. - May 9, 2026

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange delivered a devastating blow to the Deep State narrative during his interview with Megyn Kelly, revealing that his organization never released any damaging material on President Donald Trump for one simple reason: “There is no dirt to release on Donald Trump.” He went further, calling Trump likely the most squeaky clean individual in Washington, a true outsider who never sold out to the globalist cabal of elites. While career politicians drown in decades of scandals and backroom deals, Trump stands untouched, proving once again why the swamp fears him more than anyone else.

Assange cemented his legacy as a true American hero by exposing Hillary Clinton’s corrupt machine and the Democrat establishment’s plans that would have destroyed America’s sovereignty and upended the world order. Thanks to his courageous leaks, the nation dodged a catastrophic bullet in 2016. Now, President Trump stands as the ultimate existential threat to the globalist uni-party cabal. They have absolutely nothing on him, but he holds all the cards to checkmate the Deep State, dismantle their power structures, and restore America First dominance like never before.

God bless Julian Assange, the fearless truth warrior who endured years as a political prisoner and is finally free at last. His explosive revelation confirms what patriots have known all along; Donald Trump operates with unmatched integrity in a city built on lies and blackmail. With no WikiLeaks files to smear him, Trump’s clean record isn’t a coincidence, it’s a weapon. The globalists are panicking, and America is winning bigger than ever. Thank God for Assange and for a President who truly cannot be bought.

Kelly should have been recalled to active duty and courts-martialed. Most people do not understand military Code of Conduct under which Kelly was still subject. Milley should have the same thing happen.

Elaine's avatar

Kelly certainly encouraged the troops to not follow orders. He called them illegal orders, thinking that the troops would be stupid enough to refuse orders to go into conflict because, Trump. Armed forces personnel do understand what an illegal order is. That tool just muddied the water to try to disrupt Trump. What a damned fool. Looks like he’s in bigger trouble now for disclosing classified info.

I know I shouldn’t be however I am stunned by the level of corruption that is being displayed by the Virginia demorats. It’s mind-boggling.

GROK's CONGRESSIONAL MAP: What would the MOST FAIR U.S. House map look like if we followed the Founding Fathers’ Principles?

- Apportion seats strictly by population (census)

- Draw compact, contiguous districts inside each state only

- No partisan data, no racial engineering, no weird shapes

- Prioritize whole counties & communities

RESULT: A clean map with 265-285 R to 150-170 D seats in a 50/50 nation.

Dr Linda's avatar

I know. I was just thinking about today’s article. Good reminder though

Joze's avatar

Shared this last week... but if you think its this bad in VA and MI ... Think what IL, MN, CA, NY and the rest of the liberal East Coast must be like.... one of the things that gives me hope is how much that means can still be exposed in the next couple months:

If you heard about Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer & her ties to DNC/ActBlue'ish fundraiser Fay Beydoun's $4,000 coffee machine... And thought that was bad... The details behind that are worse (in some way if you read the Affidavit its hard not to see both Gov. Whitmer and some Republicans playing along? Horse trading??... but in the end this is plainly another example of ActBlu'ish Fraud):

(See below for highlights from the State of Michigan's Affidavit of Probable Cause - source doc is):

https://www.michigan.gov/ag/-/media/Project/Websites/AG/releases/2026/May/Affidavit-FILED-5-4-26-Redacted.pdf?rev=8bce32e2e7da4e6f84f74b546432d011&hash=3F2323DC010E377CB30712FB1EB6F7FD

If actual working tax payers were aware of where their taxes are being spent:

$10,000 to an attorney (also named "Beydoun" - Hattem Beydoun; unk if any relation), for litigating an insurance dispute of Fay's son Ayman (and Fay creating a FALSE invoice to cover up that expense).

$40,800 on falsified leases, to cover an apartment (unknown location - but must be pretty nice at $40,000 for one year?); for her Son Ayman Beydoun (leased from a man named Fadi Salhab; whether he did not knowly participate in this fraud.... is not as clear).

$6,148 for two handmade rugs from Tunisia; (purchased on Fay's trip to Tunisia); one of which she offered to her son Ayman.... again (amazing to see the text documentation in this affidavit).

$1,500 and $1,800 checks for catering (paid to a man named: Mohamed Nassereddine ) for two private dinners she hosted for (formerly?) Democratic Mayor of Detroit Mike Duggan on 06/29 & 08/15/2023; one of which her dear son Ayman was invited to (and specifically told he was 'welcome to come as a guest, I don't need you to do anything')... She claimed this catering was for 'Focus Groups' - Nassereddine (the Caterer) confirmed these events were for Dem. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan; not for GLI nor focus groups.

+Beydoun compensates herself for the above graft and MORE; by paying herself an annual salary of $550,000 ... ($20K+ twice a month; apparently not for business start ups, but ... to host dinners and fundraisers for Democrats?; perhaps she got these grant funds for previously hosting fund raisers for Gretchen Whitmer?? .... and after she got this 'grant' she turned to do so for the next generation that Can NOT run as a Democrat because the Brand has been so tarnished... for example former Democrat Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan... who now wants to run as an independent??

Also... what's so far been reported on by no one; which might catche your eye on page 3 under #19, of the above linked affidavit; is where a man named Sharif Hussein asks Fay Beydoun: "Will you be joining the incoming Administration" (This was just after the 2020 Election in a text on: 11/20/2020)... She replies: "No"... "Staying in Michigan. Working on a project I would like you to be involved in." ... She was referring to her ActBlu'ish Fraud scheme to apparently pay for her son's living expenses... But, shucks.... could you imagine the good she could have done for BuyDem & ActBlu'ish if she HAD gone to D.C. ???

Ruth H's avatar

Wow. Haven’t read about MI fraud, but these examples are very interesting to the level of fraud so apparent there’s no fear in doing so. 🤬🤬🤬

Joze's avatar

Its not just the Fraud though.. It was amazing to read that affidavit and see the blatant racism (of these Muslim community members against the perceived Majority... both in their contracting and later in blatant comment)... you actually have to drill down into the text messages between the parties to see that near the end... but is seems the MSM is unlikely to drill down or politically incorrectly report that... just as none of them mentioned the inference of Fay Beydoun going to Washington DC as noted in one of the earlier text or email exchanges. What i've been hearing of the diasporas taking over Michigan and now Texas (and the laudable fight against sharia non-sense there) gives me pause. Still believe the light of day is the best sanitizer! Best wishes Ruth!

I used to. Before becoming a recent transplant to LA. The accent he adopts is fake so I don’t see much difference in that and others adopting a ghetto one. He seems to be all talk and little action. His voting record appears to be very spotty in regards to conservative issues. I’m having trouble finding solid information on him but what I have found is not giving me what I need. However, it looks like Cassidy (a RINO) is going to be primaried so at least there’s some positive news from this state!

You would think many democrats are descendants of Nazis. We know our dna can transfer illness to our kids but other traits can be passed down as well. Addictions, yes disease, financial problems, even the obvious Communism, Marxism, socialism, Atheism, etc. It’s very plain to see the democrats are direct descendants of Nazis. Shackling political opponents, jailing them, censorship, forcing experimental injections into people even their own ministry of truth. Making laws to kick judges out at 54 is maybe new to most of us but the democrats use the Nazi playbook like it’s a sporting event.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter their background. Take a look at Mark Kelly for instance. He walked out of a top secret meeting with Secretary Hegseth and blathered out how low America is low on specific weapons systems, blatant treason that can get Americans killed. With treasonous senators like Arizonian Mark Kelly who needs enemies.

How is it possible to live in a prosperous nation when almost 1/2 of our politicians hate our country and have distain for its citizens. Kelly belongs in the dock, today!

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Even though historians have tried their best to tie the Nazis and the Fascists to right wing politics, it's pretty clear that their actual roots are in liberal/progressive/socialist politics. Democrats have historically been authoritarians from the country's beginnings and now they have finally embraced their heritage: fascism/naziism. "You shall know them by their fruits."

When I first started hearing about Global Warming (which was very soon after the proclamations of the next Ice Age), I just thought, "What a load of BS!" Hearing grown adults accept this nonsense as gospel was just mind-numbing. What they did to K-12 is unforgivable.

Well...religious extremists are the same type of people psychologically as the WOKE-folk, just with a different narrative. The extremism is the common denominator (it's not mentally healthy).

Just like Developmental Psychology extremists

The Federal Reserve was a grave error of Wilson and allowed the power of the legislative branch of our government to be handed over to the J P Morgans of the banking cartels. It was as if the city of New York released a dozen hungry lions into Central Park to reduce the squirrel population and then were perplexed by the number of people who went missing !!!

No mention of Fauci, and the fact that DJT will let him walk?

Joze's avatar

It does strike me as a bit odd that even here in C&C, that deadline passing today does not get any mention (regardless of how hopeless any auto-pen pardons may make it). Thanks for saying it out loud!

Crimes against humanity have no expiration dates.

I think I lobbied for that .... eg. That the U.S. Volunteer to turn him over to the Hague/International Criminal Court... It has its drawbacks for setting a bad precedent.... but so does Fauci never being made an example of. Thanks!

RICO has not expired either. There are still many who idolize Fauci and until that wanes, I don't think he will be indicted.

The thing about the 24/7 news cycle and the literal “surfing” of issues by the masses versus deep dive critical thinking…it is part of the propaganda machinery used by the press and the chosen mouthpieces to simply distract and direct the public so that there is never really any resolution, justice, definition of collective values/standards….instead, just constant theatre for all to behold and participate in based on their daily emotions and malleable “convictions.”

There are no lines in the sand that we hold dear and rally around to ensure they are not crossed.

Nope, just a big desert sandstorm and those who claim or act as beacons in the storm for those trying to navigate the barrage of nonsense in our supposedly ever increasingly complex and emergent world.

Some truths become apparent over time….a lot of noise doesn’t mean there is value to be found in the chatter….it means we are easily spoon fed nuggets and issues framed to keep us complacent in the hope that there is some value to be had….

But let’s face it….life’s pretty simple and all the noise and even the preparation of the nuggets we are supposed to cherish as “truth” or winning are mostly representative of a game being played by those who don’t waste time thinking about us….or what we want, need or value.

And yup….we are supposed to just accept that holding Fauci et al accountable is a bridge too far.

Question remains….why? The answer is pretty simple…but decidedly inconvenient…so like the long list of adverse reactions to the mRNA vaccine…we just look away, ignore, or pretend a reckoning is in the works….even as the damn shot remains on the market.

It is not a right vs left thing….its an us vs them thing.

Psst….who is Trump rubbing elbows with and what are their goals?

Joze's avatar

While I always support striving for doing the right thing and life is pretty simple (big fan of Ockham's Razor)... There's no denying that we live in a world of - the lesser of two (or 3 or 10) evils... So while I think its is wonderful to question who Trump is 'rubbing elbows with'. The alternative that he presents compared to what the Traitor 'Weekend at Bernie's' Biden and his whole administration was pushing as their goals... seems to be night and day. Best wishes to US all.

A lot of commenters, and especially columnists, like to push the idea that Trump got elected because half the country is "MAGA." (I suppose that is to plant the seed we need concentration camps later to purify the populace.) But it's more like what you say: the alternative was so much worse for so many voters they had no choice but to vote for Trump.

Joze's avatar

Two things... First - For as much as Trump is a bloviator and surely has self interests... The self interest of Biden as VP (and Kerry as Sec.of State under Obama) running interference for their sons (the Great Artist Hunter and the Billionaire Chris Heinz (step-son); respectively) so that they could (via Rosemont Seneca) form Bohai Harvest with the Communist State of China... for THEIR benefit (China, Biden, Heinz to get their hands on the energy reserves in the the still corrupt Ukraine countryside)... is perhaps the only traitorous conduct more deserving of punishment than Fauci's with China... There is a common denominator in both of them the world seems to want to ignore... It does not seem Trump is willing to ignore China - Guess we will see soon enough; depending upon how his visit with them goes this week.

Second - Those who in any way connect "MAGA" with 'Concentration Camps' ... are trying to exploit the small percentage of the KKK/Nazi/"Threat to Democracy" crowd; that (Hypocritically) actually seem to be the last vestiges of the Old Democrats and the New DNC/ActBlu'ish; the don't even realize that is the agenda they are pushing. I belong to what I believe to be the ACTUAL Majority of Americans who elected Trump (and are pissed with all efforts to obstruct and obfuscate the agenda we elected him for); which is not "MAGA"... but to Restore and take literally: "Make America Great Again".... The people who recognize whenever the left disparagingly says "MAGA" and then you actually say what those letters mean in the context of what they are talking about - Makes them look like Fools. My take is if a few pieces fall into place: Ukraine, Iran, Mid-term elections via exposure and accountability for ActBlu'ish & Covid era Fraud... The "Golden Age" Trump talked of, may be more of a reality than a dream - That the left will not even try to envision that future and only wants more of the same (so they can live off the graft & debt of of others) is stomach churning. When I see Trump face the daily threat of death - I do not believe that's because he has some hidden agenda for profits... The man is an ego maniac who wants one thing more than that - a legacy. He knows - even if he dies in the process - the surest way to that; is to: Make America Great and leave no doubt he played a role in doing so. (Guess that makes me a MAGA "True Believer"... but back to the original point of the "lesser of two or more evils".... This is the best path forward presented at this time).

Good luck to US all & best wishes.

Majority of Americans didn't elect Trump because many don't even vote to begin with. The majority of people who voted elected Trump. He doesn't have majority support. No politicians do.

It would lead more quickly to a working society if both the extremist WOKE-folk AND the religious extremists moved towards the balanced centre and away from their extremes.

Laura Garcia's avatar

Oh…and I am particularly jaded and unimpressed with Trump, RFK, Jr and their promises….list my mom to the vax under horrific circumstances. And as a result….you might say I have cause to examine more closely the number of promises made and broken as the same players who brought us the COVID chaos, nonsense, censorship, etc. still have a seat at the table and are advancing the globalist data driven surveillance tokenization agenda and control grid while people are cheering and moaning over the literal bloodsport in the political arena….gladiators comes to mind. Give the people what they want….cheering for the other side’s demise or losing all perspective and sanity as the walls close in.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave….more people need to break the chains and turn their heads and see that the left vs right theater is exactly that….meant to distract and appease the masses while making them complacent as they anticipate the next act in the show that will surely have them “winning.”

Laura Garcia's avatar

I appreciate the sentiment and was once where you are….but I have come to a place of realizing we can’t vote ourselves out of this.

Again, it is not a left vs right thing. Our system is captured and corrupted and it is time, in my opinion, that we get more comfortable calling it out rather than resigning ourselves to the “lesser of two evils.”

Joze's avatar

Most important - Sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother (Covid/Vax era and the insanity of all that makes it all so much worse - My Mother was denied access to her patient advocates and caregivers, health reasons unrelated to covid - but due to the unconscionable and unconstitutional polices of the leaders at that time; she never got vax and never had covid... still the insanity claimed her and all who love her among it victims... So again, sorry for your loss and wishing you peace AND accountability.

While I understand you sentiment about being jaded and unimpressed by Trump and RFK Jr.,etc. - what if it was just more Biden? (Actually Obama... via a Harris Administration?).... How much BETTER has this path been than that alternative?

So again - for me it's not necessarily the lesser of 2-10 evils... but Making a choice and taking responsibility for it.... and demanding all we can of it(?).

He talked about it yesterday.

Yes, but "Today's the Day" and this IS C & Covid ... feels kinda like going to a funeral and everyone's talking about how good the pastry basket is. As people always say: "Never Forget" ... Just want to remember one of the primary reasons why so many are here. Thanks.

Jake's avatar

He doesn't matter. He's over 80 and will soon assume room temperature. However, as Jeff pointed out, there are lots of his minions out there who are now exposed to legal ramifications. Fauci will die in disgrace but not in a gentleman's club enclosure.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Well, it's not even 10:30am here in the East. There's still time, but the clock is ticking. I'm not confident he'll be called to account by the DOJ, but we've been seeing some pretty great surprises lately.......
