(WND)—In the congressional football game between the American Patriots and the Globalists, the AmPats had pulled the failed McCarthy and replaced him with new QB Mike Johnson on whom they now pinned their hopes for a safer America.
They were gobsmacked when on the first snap from center, Johnson tucked the football under his arm and sprinted to the AmPats own goal line, scoring a touchdown for the Globalists and exchanging high five’s with Globalist QB Chuck Schumer. Some wept, some screamed in rage, some simply sat in stunned silence trying to process the enormity of the betrayal.
Many conservatives enthusiastically applauded when Mike Johnson was elevated to speaker of the House. It seemed logical given his conservative voting record and often incisive questioning of witnesses in congressional hearings. He talks about the Bible and his faith a lot, so it seemed a given that as speaker he would embrace the biblical principle that if you don’t care for your own you are no better than an infidel. Surely, it was assumed, Mike would resolutely demand security for the American people before he would permit one dollar to go to foreign adventures.
These patriotic folks were mind-blown when Johnson did just the opposite, holding hands with Senate Majority Leader Schumer as together they sent $60 billion more abroad while doing nothing to keep Americans safe from the hoards of terrorists, Chinese military-age men, deadly fentanyl, child traffickers, sex traffickers and diseases not seen in many years pouring across the border. These illegal aliens are driving up real estate prices and taking jobs by working for dirt cheap wages citizens can’t afford to work for because they don’t get free housing, medical care, food and everything else handed to them by government, overwhelming the social safety net.
What happened to Johnson? Stockholm Syndrome? Fear of what happens to politicians great or small who don’t play for the globalist team? Whatever triggered it, the former conservative had an epiphany that helped him understand that his responsibility is not to the American people but to the world globalist agenda. Like Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue,” he “come away with a different point of view,” suddenly perceiving the big picture that America’s mandate is to serve the globalist agenda “uber alles” – and since there isn’t enough money to both pay the pensions of Ukrainian apparatchiks and secure our own border, the safety of Americans must be sacrificed.
Speaker Johnson says he supports forever Ukraine aid because “I don’t believe Putin will stop there.” And he knows this how? Wasn’t it Zelensky who bragged the war would end with Ukrainian tanks in Red Square?
And what if Putin doesn’t stop with Ukraine? How about we let the wealthy, nuclear armed nations of Western Europe pony up the money to defend themselves? What a novel concept!
Ukraine is a thugocracy run by a perverted, grifting, drag-queen globalist puppet in a junkyard dog fight with another thugocracy. There is no freedom in Ukraine: Churches are outlawed, opponents jailed … on and on – anything but a democracy. This is the Hatfields and McCoys of Eastern Europe and none of our business. It’s Vietnam and Afghanistan all over again and will end in the same way – or worse yet, in World War III.
After years of lying that Ukraine is “putting the wood” to Russia, SecDef Lloyd Austin just admitted Ukraine is losing, and of course he wants to send in military “advisers” to turn the failing war around. That’s exactly how the Vietnam War ramped up, with “advisers” morphing into over 500,000 troops, ultimately resulting in 58,000 Americans dead by its ignominious end. President Lyndon Johnson knew the Vietnam effort was failing and lamented that he couldn’t see what we could hope to get out of it, but also couldn’t see how to get out of it, given his political capital invested and lies told. Biden now faces the same dilemma.
No matter, small price to pay to weaken the hated Putin. What with Ukrainians doing the dying and U.S. defense contractors getting rich, bioweapons labs protected and the Biden family’s personal moneymaking fiefdom preserved, it looks like a win-win to the lords of war in the State Department. Viktor Bout, move over.
Put all the lipstick you want on the current Johnson’s unwillingness to secure our own borders with high-minded gassing about our responsibility to be world policeman, but the fact remains he sent billions for Ukraine’s war effort while doing nothing to secure our own border.
The new darling of the left is feted as a hero by many Uniparty members on both sides of the aisle, yet for those who believe Americans should be first, there are many things you can call Mike Johnson, but hero is not one of them.

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.
