Ever since Donald Trump came down the golden escalators of Trump Tower in New York to announce his candidacy for president of the United States, many observers of politics and history have wondered, what next? Many of us, who consume political and world news like we do air, realized this was a historical moment, and all hell would be breaking loose if Trump somehow managed to win over Hillary Clinton.
Now, with the release of the John Durham Report, it is clear for all to see that the Deep State was engaged in a silent coup against Donald J. Trump. It began as a coup against candidate Trump, continued as a coup against President-elect Trump, and persisted as a coup against President Trump holding our highest office. The release of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report revealed that this was much more than the usual political dirty tricks and shenanigans. This was very much a coup-d’état or silent coup. This was a high crime.
Before we continue, it is important to understand terms that many of us are not familiar with because, until now, they have not been an issue.
What is an insurrection?
The Democrats falsely labeled the January 6 protests as an “armed insurrection.” Nobody came to the Capitol armed and by CNN’s own definition of protests from the “Summer of Love” 2020, the protest was “mostly peaceful”. The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the President to deploy the military to suppress a rebellion. President Trump asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she wanted him to call out the National Guard before that date arrived, and she declined.
Punishment for insurrection or rebellion can include up to 10 years in prison and the inability to hold public office.
What is a coup or coup d’état?
Dictionary.com defines a coup as “a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.” In short, it means to overthrow a government. Democrats have argued elements of January 6, 2021 events met the definition of an attempted coup. But if you consider the genuine possibility they stole the election after vote count processing mysteriously stopped the morning of November 4, 2020, they are the ones guilty of a silent coup. Keep in mind that Trump was ahead before the vote counting stopped and behind as soon as it continued.
Punishment for an attempt to overthrow a government by coup includes up to 20 years in prison and ineligibility for federal employment for the next five years.
The Deep State globalists, including the Fourth Branch of government (FBI/DOJ/DHS/NSA/CIA), engaged in a conspiratorial plot against Donald Trump from the moment he announced his candidacy. This was a coup committed as a white collar crime by people with positions of status. They all appear guilty of not putting the interests of the United States over those of the globalist elites and their own.
Most observers speculate the reason why this happened was that Donald Trump is a true patriot who believes in America’s sovereignty and was not going to allow a One World government on his watch. He believes in “America First” and was tired of seeing our country and its citizens (as taxpayers) getting the short end of the stick. He saw the issues of global climate change, overpopulation, health care, endless wars, mass starvation, mass poverty, and pandemics all as ploys to lead the world to allow a One World government. Therefore, a silent coup was the result and it was perpetrated by the Democrats, all four branches of government, as well as the mainstream media (to sell it to the public).
The bombshell of the Durham report revealed Hillary Clinton’s campaign contracted out with third parties to not only spy on candidate Trump’s emails and computer usage during his campaign but to hack into and spy on President-elect thereafter, as well as his computer/email/online usage as President in the White House! So a non-government group from the Hillary Clinton Campaign appears to have illegally spied on a legitimately elected and seated president of the United States by hacking into his computer servers. That is a felony.
So this was done, the Fourth Branch of government was in on it (How else do you hack a seated President’s computer?), and nobody has done anything about it. The Deep State, with cover from the Fourth Branch, ran a coup-d’état against a rightfully elected President during his entire presidency. Some would call this treason and sedition. Regardless, this is a felony.
Many Americans from all political walks of life do not trust our government. Americans today believe the Deep State government of Joe Biden is no longer just a “conspiracy theory” anymore.
Those involved need to be held accountable.

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.
