The left, particularly the rapidly rising ranks of radical leftists, have two plays they call when reacting to freedom-loving patriots. They usually claim some variation of bigotry; anyone who wants equality is a “racist” in their books just as anyone who calls out groomers is “transphobic,” they claim.
The second play they call is projection. Whatever flaws or evil tendencies they exhibit, they claim it is their opposition that’s actually doing it. There have been plenty examples of blatant and often comical projection being utilized by the left, but few are more ludicrous than what many Covid vaxx-nannies are claiming about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Following his roundtable yesterday during which he called for a grand jury investigation into criminals who pushed the jabs despite clear evidence of their dangers and inefficacy, radical leftists started claiming he was showing his “authoritarian ambitions.” When medical tyrants and their cultists say DeSantis is being an authoritarian, it’s the textbook example of projection.
DeSantis went on with Fox News host Laura Ingraham to respond to these people who are terrified their tyrannical natures will be exposed. Watch:
“The authoritarians were the ones that wanted to mandate the vaxx on people,” he said. “I protected people from having that happen and made sure Floridians could make their own choice. The authoritarians wanted to institute a vaccine passport system, almost like a social credit system, so that people who dissented from this would be marginalized from society entirely. We rejected that and we banned it.”
DeSantis, like most Republican governors, fell for the initial calls for lockdowns across his state. But he corrected his state’s course quickly and made Florida one of the freest in the nation. It drew harsh criticism from vaxx-nannies back then, but the numbers ended up proving his course of action to be correct. Florida outperformed states like California and New York that maintained strict Covid protocols throughout.
It will take more than just one state in order for people to be held accountable. Hopefully, DeSantis will inspire other governors to get involved in not only revealing the truth about the jabs, but also sending medical tyrants to prison. Only then can we have a reasonable expectation that this type of debacle won’t happen again anytime soon.

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 much appreciated the reminder published yesterday by Chris Widener of the fact that God has sent them strong delusion. It has been on my mind ever since.
The subject at hand is a good example. If a truly born again Christian had pushed, encouraged, or in any other manner participated in the forced/coerced administration of a dangerous drug that resulted in many deaths and permanent injuries, the Holy Spirit would weigh that individual’s conscience with deep remorse and regret. They would be convicted of their sin. As that is the foremost job of the Holy Spirit, as set forth by Jesus, to convict of 3 things: sin, righteousness, and judgment. And if there is no such conviction present, then that individual is not indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and has not truly ever been born again. They are a tree that, as Jesus said, is bearing bad fruit, and will be hewn down and cast into the fire. They are shamelessly continuing in sin, which the Bible says a truly born again Christian will not do.
We are dealing with people who have no conscience. We all understand that well enough. But it is worth remembering. They cannot be reasoned with.
But what’s interesting is verse 12 of 2 Thess. 2. It is God who did this to them. He gave them over to a reprobate mind, as it says in Romans 1. He sent them strong delusion to believe a lie. And the reason is explained in verse 12 – “so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness”
In other words, for many of them, it is probably too late. They have ignored and suppressed the truth, and have delighted in wickedness for so long and with such fervor, with conscience becoming seared to the point where they have no conscience at all, have repeatedly and fervently rebelliously rejected God and His Word, ignoring the convictions of the Holy Spirit, to the point that God has essentially already decided to make sure they will be eternally condemned, as they still live. He’s’ basically already determined, in their case, that they will be in that group that is cast into the fire, enough to send them strong delusion to make sure of it.
I may or may not be interpreting that scripture incorrectly, but I don’t know how it could possibly be interpreted in any other way. It plainly says what it plainly says. And it is extremely powerful and sobering to realize that for some it truly is already too late.
But for others, it isn’t too late. And that is evidenced by the very fact that God has not yet unleashed His final judgment, as 2 Peter 3:9 explains.
It is also worth noting, that such judgment is not inclusive of just those who shamelessly and unrepentant continue to participate in wickedness, but also those who “delight” in it, or as Romans 1 says “have pleasure in those who do” – other translations use the word “revel” – and others translate it as “give approval.” Verse 12 explicitly says those who “delight” in wickedness – to include not just those who engage in it, but also those who approve of what they’re doing, to any degree, in any manner.
This would include, then, any and all who approve of the abominable, degenerate, wicked sexual perversion that has been imposed. Who began with tolerance, moved to acceptance, to respect, to celebration, to endorsement. In reality, all are the same – they are to give your approval of abominable wickedness.
To even say “it’s their right” is itself to rebel against God. Why? Because God is the one who gave us rights, and those rights are defined as that which others are obligated to respect – yet God demands that sin, especially abominable sin, be rejected, condemned and entirely disrespected. He might’ve given them free will to do as they wish, He might’ve given them that right of liberty, but what they do with that liberty is absolutely not an extension of that right – for that, they will be severely judged, as many, according to 2 Thess. and Romans 1, already are.
Many of them are probably sitting on the front pew every Sunday, if not standing behind the pulpit.
Saying “Lord, Lord”
Yet they are already condemned.
And I will readily confess that years ago, prior to their forced imposition of depraved immorality by power of government, I myself lent implicit approval to some degree, because they were not a threat. They weren’t out there targeting and attacking Christian bakers and such. At that time, Christians were not being backed into a corner, and being basically given a choice amounting to little less than renounce or die. I grew up in the 80s. I’m gen X. We had male musicians, including some Christian ones, routinely dressing themselves up to look extremely effeminate. It was commonplace.
I look back on those days with remorse, seeing where it has led.
For those of us who did so, we should’ve taken a stronger stand, but may not have been entirely wrong. Obviously men such as Fred Phelps by prematurely jumping the gun only made matters extremely worse, which may or may not have been his intent all along, as many believe he is an impostor. Protesting funerals is just taking it too far. As Jesus said, let the dead bury their own dead. But as explained in 1 Cor. 5:9-11, we might have dealt with the wicked for a time in order to “not go out of this world” – i.e., to live and survive, but once they have imposed beyond certain limits, they are to be completely shunned and we are to have nothing to do with them at all. And there is no question that their offensive push over the past couple of decades, to impose and demand approval of wickedness by force, has far surpassed those limits.
To continue to lend any measure of tolerance or approval now, as many Christians are being extorted and backed into corners, is, in my opinion as I interpret scripture, an egregious sin in and of itself.
