Former Vice President Mike Pence’s advocacy organization, Advancing American Freedom, has publicly urged Senate Republicans to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). The primary reason cited for this opposition is Kennedy’s stance on abortion.
Pence, through his organization, emphasized that Kennedy’s previous support for abortion rights is a significant deviation from the pro-life legacy established during the Trump-Pence administration. In a statement, Pence highlighted that, under their leadership, HHS made decisions daily that either supported or detracted from the sanctity of life. He argued that confirming Kennedy would be “deeply concerning” to millions of pro-life Americans who have traditionally supported Republican nominees.
Kennedy, known for his skepticism regarding vaccines and his environmental activism, had previously expressed a complex stance on abortion. His positions have included support for a woman’s right to choose, advocating for codifying Roe v. Wade into law, and ensuring access to medical abortion pills.
The statement from Advancing American Freedom also pointed out that despite Kennedy’s recent attempts to reassure pro-life leaders, there remains little confidence in his commitment to pro-life policies at HHS. Pence’s group specifically mentioned the daily administrative decisions at HHS concerning issues like federal funding for Planned Parenthood, regulations on abortion pills, and insurance coverage for abortions, all of which would be pivotal under Kennedy’s potential leadership.
With the Senate gearing up for confirmation hearings, Pence’s call for rejection highlights a significant rift within the Republican Party, especially given Trump’s choice to nominate a figure known for his controversial views on vaccines. This nomination has already sparked a broad spectrum of reactions, with public health experts and Democrats expressing alarm, while some conservative groups have been more ambivalent or supportive, focusing on Kennedy’s critique of “corporate capture” in health agencies.
The opposition from Pence, who has been critical of Trump since their time in office together, underscores his resentment toward his former boss. His failed presidential run was embarrassing and he’s been all but excommunicated from Republican politics ever since.
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 don’t believe Pence for one second. Abortion is hideous, but that reason falls flat on its face because RFK wouldn’t increase abortions, Trump is against it
I’ll be willing to Bet, Pence has an alterior motive. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO HIDE, MR. PENCEI?
WHAT WILL RFK EXPOSE ON YOU?
Abortion has been ruled upon by SCOTUS. It is NOT a constitutionally enumerated power of the federal government. Neither the Congress nor the Executive can affect abortions at this point. It is a States’ issue.
Pence knows it. He’s butt-hurt and thinks we are all stupid.
…what Mr Pence endorses or does not endorse means nothing to me and millions of other pro-life advocates…Mr Pence has had his 15 minutes of fame and blew it…there is very little that Mr Pence could possibly ever do to regain his obvious lack of trust of the Conservative element of the political landscape, but to just retire and disappear into oblivion like a good little backstabbing nobody that he has become…
Abortion is the ostensible reason. The real reason is Kennedy will go after the establishment and its allies.
This proves pence is not looking out for regular Americans. His allegiance seems to belong to big pharma. Whoever is quoting him seems to think he is of some importance. He should be humiliated and just go away
(personally I think he is a traitor and should be hung)
Pence is a snake, much like the Serpent in the Garden, he cannot be trusted. This has absolutely nothing to do with Abortion, this is all about protecting big Pharma and other deep state entities who are will to harm Americans for profit. It would appear that Pence might be against Abortion, which is great, but then he no longer gives a damn once you are born as long as his personal supporters (Deep State, Big Pharma, Big Oil and Big Ag) can make a buck off of exploiting them. He should take the Job at Grove City and disappear from politics.
Who’s more hated? Cheney or Pense? Answer, yes!
….is there a difference ?…
It is amazing and embarrassing to me how naive our side can be at times. How quickly, even eagerly, we can jettison our values and change our minds about people. This has never been truer than how Repubs under our very popular incoming president, can make us think different almost overnight. When someone is nominated by Trump for a cabinet position, or even named as an aide, we often jump on the bandwagon and label him or her a conservative, a patriot, and a hero. We sometimes seem to become blind and deaf to the facts about the person. For example, RFK, Jr., who is a lifelong Democrat, opposes many things I believe in. We would be on opposite sides of the aisle over a host of issues. While I greatly respect the man, I have reservations about Kennedy’s fitness (no pun intended) for HHS head, and at the top of that list is his pro-abortion stance. It seems to me to MORE than cancel out any good he will bring to that department. Maybe someone here can show me how slaughtering babies and health go together. If not, I’m with Pence on this one.
I completely agree with you regarding Kennedy but also Musk. They have had and probably do still have liberal moral standards. At this point, we must trust that God has placed Trump in this position for reasons known only unto Him. God’s will be done must always be our prayer.
It’s funny that Pence thinks he has any influence is this matter or any matters regarding Trumps cabinet pick.
Pence is a jealous man of DJT…..that is what this is all about….and he is a useless tool of the Dems……
Mike who?
Typical Pence, a despicable back stabbing weasel to the end. I wouldn’t piddle on him if he was on fire.
Why does Pence look like an Easter Island statue?
Pence is a f*cking cu*t
Check his stock portfolio and financial records. This will tell us all we need to know.
Ad once again, TRAITOR Pence tries to be a hero to the RADICAL LEFT-TARD Commie-cRATS.
Who does he think he is, LIZard Cheney ????
I like this because it’s him paying back those who gave him that “coin” right after he declared Xiden the winner in 2021.
