In the old days (which, in the age of social media, were only ten years or so ago), every problem in the world was blamed on “global warming.”
Hot summers? Global warming. Cold winters? That was global warming, too. Christian churches mysteriously burning to the ground? Ooh…obviously global warming. Endless hordes of foreigners breaking into the country? Global warming disproportionately affects third-world s-holes and causes military-aged men to run North, dontcha know. The spread of COVID? Oh, that definitely didn’t come from a Chinese bio-lab receiving money from the esteemed pharmaceutical salesman Dr. Fauci; that virus was totally the fault of global warming!
According to the “experts,” global warming caused every policy failure, government screwup, international brouhaha, and economic downturn of the last few decades (at least when card-carrying globalists, “progressives,” new-world-order types, or other assorted leftists were in power). “Science” said so. And if you didn’t believe the “experts,” well, then, you were just an ignorant science-denier!
Since 2016, a new scapegoat — I mean, fact-based and expertly diagnosed cause — for all the world’s problems has been hogging global warming’s spotlight: Russia, Russia, Russia.
Read something that you don’t like? That’s gotta be Russian disinformation. The “wrong” candidate wins an election? Never would have happened without Russian social media bots! Energy prices are too low? That’s because of cheap Russian oil and gas. Energy prices are too high? That’s because Russia — and definitely not Ukraine! — blew up its own Nord Stream pipelines delivering inexpensive energy to Europe.
Military-aged Muslims are raping and stabbing Europeans across the continent? Ooh, trick question — that’s a global-warming-Russia tag-team! Everybody with a PhD in political science knows that Europe’s inability to secure its own borders is totally Vladimir Putin’s fault!
Didn’t the Norwegian Nobel Committee award the Peace Prize to climate doomsayer Al Gore (who predicted that we’d all be under water by now) and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for figuring out that all of the problems in the world can be traced to hydrocarbons and free markets? Surely the prizes in chemistry, physics, medicine, and literature will eventually go to well-credentialed “experts” who determine that Russia is actually to blame for everything.
This Nobel Prize-worthy epiphany has been rattling in my head because I noticed that the United Kingdom’s recently installed prime minister, Andy Burnham, is considering whether to reverse Brexit and rejoin the European Union since — you guessed it! — Russia somehow manipulated the 2016 referendum in favor of decoupling! Burnham — who won a small special election to gain his seat in Parliament only last summer and lacks anything remotely approaching a general mandate from the whole kingdom — says Russia’s Brexit “interference” was “clear.”
His pronouncement seems to contradict multiple parliamentary investigations — including those from the anti-Brexit Electoral Commission — which have all concluded that there was “no evidence of successful interference in the EU Referendum.”
Other prominent members of Burnham’s Labour Party are giddy about the prospect of rejoining the E.U., but all insist that no new referendum should be held for voters to decide the matter. In other words, after nearly eighteen million Brits voted to leave the Brussels Empire ten years ago in the largest referendum in British history, an Establishment-installed prime minister who won a few thousand votes in an overwhelmingly pro-Labour Party constituency last summer wants to cancel the Brexit vote — despite repeated promises from both Burnham and his fellow Labour leaders that they would never do so.
How does the leftist-globalist prime minister of a kingdom that constantly lectures the world about “defending democracy” defend canceling another democratic vote in Europe? Burnham just blames Russia, as has become the custom of all globalist governments across Europe when Establishment politicians suffer defeat. Defending democracy by undermining the legitimacy of elections is the European way!
Burnham continues the charade by claiming that the Russians are responsible not only for Brexit but also for the rise of pro-national-sovereignty politicians such as France’s Marine Le Pen and Germany’s Alice Weidel: “These things are important now to put clearly on the record and, I believe, help voters in Germany and France understand that some of this politics is instigated via our enemies, namely Russia.”
Yes, all dissent is Russian disinformation! All politicians who want secure borders are Russian agents! All electoral defeats for the globalists are due to Russian interference! Forget next year’s contest for the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Andy Burnham has that prestigious globalist award all sewn up!
Uff da. The Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense is so tiring. In the United States, we have been dealing with this same globalist-instigated circle jerk since President Trump embarrassed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the 2016 election.
Hillary had gotten caught with Top Secret emails on an unsecured server stored in a home bathroom. Additionally, Clinton and Obama were using the FBI and NSA to spy on all of the Republican presidential candidates. In an effort to hide the fact that Russia, China, and other foreign adversaries had easily acquired the highly classified contents of her home-brew server, Hillary attempted to muddy the waters by calling Donald Trump “Putin’s puppet” throughout the campaign.
When President Trump nevertheless defeated Clinton, both she and Obama needed to fabricate a plausible criminal predicate justifying the FBI’s spying operations on Trump (hello, Clinton-funded Steele Dossier!).
That’s the rough genesis of the Russia Collusion Hoax, a political scandal of epic proportions that the propaganda press have largely covered up. Had Clinton and Obama successfully tarred Trump as a Russian agent, he would have been removed from office and would most likely be in prison today (a prime objective that Clinton and Obama’s accomplices repeatedly tried to carry out after Trump’s first term).
Clinton and Obama attempted to overthrow President Trump in an Intelligence Community-organized (here’s looking at you, John Brennan!) and media-enabled (CNN is fake news!) coup d’état. If there were anything other than two-tiered justice in the United States today, Barack and Hillary would be serving life in prison at the very least.
Because nobody was ever punished for the Russia Collusion Hoax, the perpetrators continue to tell the lie that every non-globalist point of view is “Russian disinformation.”
Just the other day, Senator Adam Schiff argued that Democrats must regulate all online information (a goal that his fellow globalists in Europe, Canada, Australia, and the U.K. share). This is the same congenital liar whom the House of Representatives censured three years ago for recklessly dividing the country with the Russia Collusion Hoax.
For a decade, Schiff has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin “stole” the 2016 election for President Trump. He pushed outright “disinformation” on the American people, while shamelessly demanding that social media companies censor Trump’s defenders for the “crime” of spreading “Russian disinformation” (something most Big Tech companies were only too happy to do).
Schiff, Clinton, Obama, and all their free-speech-hating friends in the Democrat Party have spent the last ten years trying to gut the First Amendment in the name of “fighting Russian disinformation.”
Nevertheless, blaming Russia for everything still hasn’t gone out of style. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Congressman Schiff successfully impeached President Trump in 2019 for speaking to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the Biden Crime Family’s quid-pro-quo corruption in Ukraine.
Globalist judges in Romania canceled the country’s 2024 presidential election by blaming “Russian interference” when the “wrong” candidate won. Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his fellow German globalists have repeatedly accused the pro-sovereign-borders party “Alternative for Deutschland” of working for Russia. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez even blamed “Russian disinformation” for the violent migrant invasion of Ceuta under his watch.
Who needs “global warming” when everything is somehow Russia’s fault?

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.
