In a shocking revelation, Vice President Kamala Harris has been exposed for advocating policies that could endanger our children. Comments from 2019 have resurfaced, showing Harris supporting the removal of police officers from schools, a move that could leave students vulnerable to the very threats that have already claimed too many young lives.
JT Lewis, whose brother Jesse was tragically killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, expressed his outrage on X, stating, “My brother was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting because of liberal policies like the one Kamala is pushing here… I wish there had been a police officer there to protect him. Students need more protection, not less!”

The comments in question were made by Harris during her 2020 presidential campaign at Benedict College in South Carolina. She spoke of “demilitarizing” schools, a euphemism for stripping away the very security measures that could prevent another tragedy. Harris’s focus was on what she perceives as “inequities” in school discipline, particularly affecting Black and Brown boys, rather than on the safety of all students.
Her stance was not just about removing police but also about reducing juvenile incarceration, arguing for less incarceration and an end to solitary confinement for juveniles. While these might sound compassionate, they ignore the reality that without proper security and consequences for actions, school environments can become chaotic and dangerous.
Fox News Digital attempted to get clarification from Harris’s campaign on whether she still supports these policies, but received no response. This silence is deafening, especially when parents like Ryan Petty and Andrew Pollack, who lost their daughters in the Parkland shooting, have publicly condemned her views.
Petty tweeted, “Wreckless. Radical. Kamala wants to make schools less safe. Your kids aren’t safe with Kamala Harris in office,” while Pollack added, “This is sickening. My daughter was killed because Parkland didn’t have enough security. We need more school resource officers — not fewer!”

The timing of Harris’s comments was particularly irresponsible, coming just before the 2020 riots following George Floyd’s death, which saw calls to “defund the police.” This movement led to many school districts across the country cutting ties with law enforcement, only to see a rise in school violence, forcing many to reverse these decisions.
Education Week reported in 2022 that at least 50 school districts had either removed officers or slashed their budgets, only to regret it as school violence spiked. This backtracking on security measures underscores the folly of Harris’s original stance.
Now, as Harris steps into the presidential race following Biden’s withdrawal, her past comments on school safety come under renewed scrutiny. They reveal a pattern of prioritizing ideological purity over the practical safety needs of American students. This is not just a policy misstep; it’s a failure of leadership that could have dire consequences for our nation’s youth.
It’s clear that if we want our schools to be safe havens for learning, not battlegrounds for political ideologies, we must reject the dangerous policies Harris once championed. Our children deserve better than to be pawns in a political game where their safety is the stake.

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.
