Before Donald Trump or anyone else announced they were running for the GOP nomination for president, I had only one criteria for who I would support. Considering the mountains of evidence that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Covid-19 “vaccines” are neither safe nor effective, I wanted to support a candidate who would come out and oppose them in a major way.
Ideally, they would have called for the jabs to be banned and for investigations to begin on not only the companies that made them, but more importantly the leaders who promoted them after learning they didn’t work and they were killing people. I would have accepted a call for restrictions or even a plea for people to avoid them. The jabs are dangerous; a politician telling people not to get them is similar to a politician saying people shouldn’t drink and drive.
Not every drunk driver kills people but they’re all putting people at risk. Not every jabbed person dies from it but they’re all taking an unnecessary risk by taking a drug that does not stop infection or spread.
But it’s not just about doing the right thing (though it probably should be). It makes political sense. Robert F. Kennedy Jr has shown that many Republican voters like his stance on Covid vaccines. Many also like his stances on Ukraine and tyranny in general. If it weren’t for most of the rest of his policies, I could almost see myself considering him. Almost.
A GOP candidate who leans in on a Covid vaccine ban would differentiate himself from the field. I called on President Trump to do it earlier this year when both Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci basically admitted to misleading him to push their agenda. It was the perfect opportunity for him to say he was lied to about Covid, lockdowns, and Operation Warp Speed. Instead, he’s stayed firm, albeit more quietly, about the jabs.
For a while, I assumed Ron DeSantis would go hard against the jabs. He had a symposium exposing risks. His Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has been one of the most outspoken government officials against the jabs. But DeSantis has remained lukewarm at best, hitting Trump on lockdowns but avoiding any discussions of the injections themselves.
Why is this? We know why Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and the other candidates would have a hard time opposing the jabs based on their histories, but DeSantis was positioned to be the vaxx-skeptical GOP candidate. I would argue that he would have shot up 10-points in the polls, gaining 15% who consider the jabs an important issue and losing 5% of the GOP pro-vaxxers and mask nannies.
This has been the most disappointing early primary season in recent memory. Nobody has reached my minimum requirement of Covid vaccine skepticism. There’s no need to argue that DeSantis has been more opposed to the jabs than Trump because he has not explicitly opposed them at all. He’s asked more questions but otherwise avoided the issue.
It’s not about who is less approving of the jabs. It’s that none of them, if nominated or elected, would do anything to stop them. Trump, DeSantis, and most others have denounced vaccine mandates, but nobody other than Kennedy have actually denounced the jabs themselves.
I support Donald Trump because of the things he gets right. He got it very wrong on the jabs but nobody in the field has the guts or intelligence to be right about them.
We have to wonder why. It’s not like anyone is in a position to play it safe. They’re all trailing Trump by a mile. It seems politically expedient to attach to the issue and hit Trump in his weakest spot, the one spot where he differs from most of his base.
Here’s the scary part. The only reason I can think of is that the UniParty Swamp — under orders from their globalist puppet masters — have forbidden the Covid vaxx-skeptical stance. RINOs and the Big Pharma shills have declared that anyone who goes against them will be anathema.
This is another reason that I support Trump. Rather than being controlled or compromised, I believe he’s a victim of his own ego. He has to know what we all know, that the jabs can no longer be called safe and effective, but it’s not in his nature to admit that he was manipulated. He was played for a fool and acknowledging that is just not in Trump’s DNA.
He’s claimed he saved 100 million people with Operation Warp Speed, so to reverse course would be embarrassing. But as I’ve said for a long time, if he doesn’t do it then the powers-that-be will use it against him in the general election once more people start suffering from long-term adverse reactions.
Maybe I’m way off. Maybe there just aren’t as many Americans as I think there are who are concerned enough about the vaccines that they’d support a presidential candidate who opposed them. I’ve been wrong about American sentiment before.

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.
