Standard disclaimer: I am not a “Putin Apologist” or “Russian Disinformation Agent.” I do not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though I do recognize they had some justification. With that said, I’ve always considered Vladimir Putin and Russia to be enemies of the United States, and I can argue that contrary to some beliefs that he’s fighting the Liberal World Order, in reality he’s just doing what he thinks is best for Russia. If the WEF and others stand in his way, he will attack them as well, though not out of some righteous goal of ending globalism.
With that said, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a charlatan. He’s a narcissist and a puppet of the World Economic Forum. He has had multiple opportunities to do what’s right for his people, but doing so would not achieve the goals of the Liberal World Order that controls him. And our own government, including people from both sides of the political aisle, are propping him up as the “Hero of Democracy.”
They’re not alone. Most other governments are doing the same thing. The totality of corporate media and Big Tech are playing their parts in the con job perfectly. As a result, millions of Americans support the war-prolonging aid being sent to Ukraine and the leader who is driving his nation into a full-blown humanitarian crisis.
Some will retort, “Zelensky didn’t invade Russia.” No, he didn’t. But he could have easily prevented the invasion by simply telling the truth. He was told long before the invasion that NATO would not allow Ukraine to join them, but he was also told not to reveal that their membership in the alliance was off the table.
As he told CNN:
“I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no,” Zelensky said. “And the response was very clear, you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open,” he said. {CITATION)
The irony is he was making the case that if he had been allowed to join NATO, then Russia wouldn’t have invaded. The opposite is true as well. If he had announced that he had been rejected by NATO and would no longer pursue membership, Russia would have had one less reason to invade.
Are the American people finally seeing through the lies of the Democrats and NeoCons? Are more starting to recognize that this is a long con to prop up Zelensky and bilk the American people out of their tax dollars at a time when our own economy is failing? Are they happy that the Zelenskys are too busy with Vogue photoshoot to help their own struggling people?
Why did we send $54 billion to Ukraine, so Zelensky & his wife could pose for Vogue?

It’s a good question.
JD Heyes from Natural News highlighted the blacklist against Zelensky opponents in the media and politics. Noteworthy names on the list include Rand Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, and Glenn Greenwald who wrote about the list on Twitter:
Investigative Journalist Glenn Greenwald Reveals Truth About Ukraine’s Zelenskyy in Brutal Twitter Thread
There isn’t much that gets past investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, an originalist truth-teller who doesn’t allow his personal liberal political and cultural views to stand in the way of accuracy and honesty.
And he showed that quality again in a recently posted Twitter thread that dropped some brutal truths about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the leader the West has fawned over, showered weapons and money on, and the country where Hunter and Joe Biden managed to make a fortune, according to reports.
“Before Russia’s invasion and since, Zelensky has abolished basic liberties: shuttered opposition media, outlawed parties, imprisoned dissidents. As Ukraine demands money and arms from the West, they now want to export this repression to our countries with McCarthyite blacklists,” Greenwald began, noting that he, along with other figures including former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), have been banned from the country.

“You can see the full Ukrainian blacklist, obtained by @unherd. Beyond the individuals listed above, officially maligned are @JeffDSachs, @RandPaul, former Brazil President @LulaOficial, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Caleb Maupin, Marine LePen and many others,” he continued — the theme being that most of them are critics of Kyiv.

“It takes extreme audacity for Zelansky and his henchmen to go around the world demanding other nations send massive amounts of weapons and money to him, then try to suppress dissent in our countries by smearing journalists and citizens who question,” Greenwald continued in a tweet containing a screenshot of his full statement to alternative media outlet Unherd.

Greenwald went on to explain that he and the others ‘blacklisted’ by Ukraine were being classified by Zelenskyy’s government as “Russian propagandists” — a familiar smear of anyone who dares to point out the obvious: Before the war, Ukraine wasn’t the bastion of fairness, equality and democracy it is now being made out to be by Western globalists whose job it is to ‘pick a side’ in such conflicts.
For her part, Gabbard — who has been critical of the United States’ and NATO’s rank picking of sides in this war — says that she sees parallels between Russian authoritarianism and a growing authoritarianism on the American left.
“Tulsi, it is striking when you see Putin propaganda and you line it up against Biden propaganda,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said as he interviewed her in March. “Do you think that we’re at risk of kind of moving in that direction right now?”
Agreeing that under the left and Joe Biden the U.S. is definitely “moving in that direction,” she went on to claim, correctly (unlike the Poynter Institute ‘fact check’ claimed), that U.S. leaders and media are “afraid of even a single voice coming out as challenging the power elite.”
“This is why we’re seeing not only still most of the mainstream media very vigorously defending and pushing the Biden propaganda … It’s not enough that they also have Google and Big Tech basically working for them and with them to control what information we see and what information we don’t see,” she said.
“This is what’s so dangerous about the place that we’re in right now as a country, where this idea, this principle, this foundation of freedom of speech, freedom of expression is directly under threat and under attack. And you’re right, it’s not so different. What’s happening here is not so different from what we’re seeing happening in Russia, where you’ve got state TV and controlled messaging across the board. This is where we’re at,” she added.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
