(DCNF)—Former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon warned on his podcast Thursday about what he called a corporate-driven takeover of Texas Republican power centers.
Republican Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison confronted Republican Texas State Rep. and House Speaker Dustin Burrows for blocking all State House bills to eliminate property taxes while advancing Democrat bills—only to be mocked on a hot mic. During an episode of “The War Room,” Bannon laid out what he described as a high-stakes battle to control Texas politics.
“This situation down there where Soros put in three, $400 million to turn Texas blue. It got slightly purple, and then MAGA took over. The grassroots down in Texas put the state on its shoulders. Trump won by 14 points. Ted Cruz won by nine. I think a couple of those times, Ted Cruz had those tight races and won by nine points. Think about this for a second,” Bannon said.
Bannon tied the internal GOP conflicts to the impeachment battle of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement. This thing in the House, and we got involved in it a couple of years ago with the Paxton impeachment. That would be the same Paxton that’s up on these polls on Cornyn,” Bannon said. “I don’t know, 15, 16, 20 points more than some polls over a guy who has been in the U.S. Senate and a power broker in the Senate for decades. That speaker right there, he’s a Republican. They’ve turned over the House to Democrats.”
Bannon didn’t stop at Republican leadership as he zeroed in on the influence of major corporations in the state, accusing them of working behind the scenes to dilute conservative victories.
“We’ve got to set things right down there. So we’re working with people, and we will have more about that. But for folks in Texas, good Lord, all the hard work you’ve done to save that state, and this is what you get,” Bannon said. “Part of this is you just got to understand it. This big corporate money starts coming into these states. Even they don’t care. They’re anti-democratic. They don’t care what the people have to say. They don’t care how many elections you win.”
Paxton leads Republican Sen. John Cornyn by 16 points in a new GOP primary poll, with 56% support to Cornyn’s 40%. In a potential three-way race including Republican Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt, Paxton still holds a commanding lead with 44% support.
The Cornyn campaign accused Paxton of awarding over $7 million in taxpayer-funded grants to left-wing activist groups that support illegal immigration, DEI initiatives and gender ideology. Paxton dismissed the claims as “a new low” and defended his record as attorney general.

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.
