Let’s start by saying this isn’t just about Trump. If Ron DeSantis or any prominent conservative figure were facing the same type of weaponized political attack through law enforcement at any level, I would be saying the exact same things that I’m about to say. One does not have to be a Trump supporter to recognize his impending arrest is an attack against our Constitution and against this great nation.
As of right now, Vivek Ramaswamy is the only candidate I’ve seen respond to this and I believe he did a pretty good job of expressing appropriate sentiment:
This is about principle, not a person. This is about our country, not one man. The silence from the rest of the GOP field is deafening. pic.twitter.com/Jqi9o2d0wR

There are four things patriots need to know about this latest attack. I covered them on the latest mini-episode of The JD Rucker Show:
Yes, Protest
I see a whole lot of patriots outsmarting themselves right now. They’re saying, “It’s a trap!” They’re saying, “The FBI wants us to protest so they can have a bigger version of January 6 to entrap us with!”
They’re not wrong that the Deep State is going to use this to go after us. But they’re definitely wrong in thinking that we should be scared by it. This is still the United States of America even if it feels like the nation is slipping away. But trying to be too clever and NOT protest so we don’t fall into their “trap” is ludicrous.
We have a right to assemble, to petition our government about our grievances. We must exercise these rights or, like anything else that doesn’t get enough exercise, it will weaken and become useless. If there was ever a time to protest, it’s when a former president is being wrongfully persecuted by a weaponized justice system for political expediency.
Don’t break the law. Don’t get violent. But DO protest.
This Is a Distraction
The timing of this couldn’t be more perfect for the Biden-Harris regime or the globalist elite cabal that controls them. There are so many real existential threats against America right now that pulling our attention away is a benefit to those threatening us.
It’s also conspicuous that all of this is happening right when it’s being revealed just how deep the corruption of the Biden Crime Family truly is.
This Isn’t Just About 2024
A lot of political commentators are saying this is all about stopping Trump from becoming president again. That’s wrong. As some have pointed out, a wrongful arrest followed by the case being dismissed or an acquittal will galvanize his base and endear him to others. This will NOT harm his chances in 2024.
Moreover, to assume this is about 2024 is dismissing the implications it has right now. See the two previous points to gain a better understanding of why pretending like this is all about next year diminishes the effects it’s having in 2023.
Anyone Who Does Not Come Out Against It Is For It
This is arguably the only controversial point here. As noted, Vivek Ramaswamy came out against it and thus far he’s the only declared or prospective GOP candidate who has. That’s not a good look to wait for political consultants or megadonors to give a candidate permission to speak out against unambiguous tyranny.
If people like Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and others haven’t declared these actions as the attacks on the Constitution that they are by the time the arrest happens, they’re playing politics far too much. They should be disqualified from consideration.

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.
I don’t think it would be wise for DeSantis to speak out before an arrest actually happens, right now it’s only a rumor.
