(DCNF)—Well, isn’t this convenient? The Climate Judiciary Project (CJP), an organization launched by the left-wing Environmental Law Institute to “train” America’s judges in the dark art of climate alarmism – has quietly swept its tracks.
Where judges’ names were once found blithely endorsing CJP’s curriculum, now we find anonymous “participating judges” and sterilized public pages. The shame is palpable. If there’s any good news, it’s that CJP is finally embarrassed about its not-so-secret effort to brainwash the bench with climate junk science. The bad news is that the indoctrination marches on, just a little better disguised.
CJP’s entire strategy has been to infiltrate the judiciary with one-sided climate hysteria, dressing up advocacy as “neutral, objective education.” They’ve marshaled millions in funding from anti-energy foundations to host seminars, boot camps, and a listserv where at least 2,000 judges have, at last count, been treated to modules straight from climate activists’ playbooks.
Then, there’s the hypocrisy. The Left petulantly demands more transparency for Supreme Court justices – who, thanks to lifetime tenure, are beyond direct influence – yet remains curiously quiet about CJP’s efforts among state judges, many of whom serve in time-limited or elected roles and, let’s be blunt, are far more vulnerable to activist grooming.
Archived chats pulled back the curtain on judges and CJP bureaucrats trading climate studies, congratulating each other for activist events, and sharing litigation updates with a wink and a nudge. Delaware Judge Travis Laster wasn’t just sending peer-reviewed science, he was distributing hush-hush YouTube presentations forecasting industry bankruptcy with the caveat, “don’t forward or use without checking with me.” This is not impartial education; this is prepping the bench for lawfare against the energy sector.
Indiana’s Judge Stephen Scheele, whose glowing review of the CJP once topped their testimonial page, now claims amnesia. No “substantive communication,” he says, though the records reveal otherwise. Embarrassment breeds revisionist history – the tell-tale sign of an operation caught red-handed. Even the CJP’s own curriculum is a master class in loaded messaging, pedaling wind and solar as the “cheapest” energy, evangelizing the pseudo-religion of “climate justice,” and treating attribution science (a field riddled with criticism) as settled fact. Dissent? Never heard of her.
Meanwhile, the group refuses to disclose which judges have been “trained.” That’s because they well know that an adversarial lawyer, if not the public, might want to know if their judge has been subtly instructed to see energy producers as climate villains. The Judicial Leaders in Climate Science program has now been scrubbed from view; the CJP forum is a graveyard of broken links. All this selective transparency serves to hide, not halt, the effort to tip the legal scales.
The greatest challenge now falls to the defense bar. How can it be ascertained whether or not a judge sitting on a blockbuster climate case has spent a year marinating in activist climate dogma behind closed doors? Judicial disclosure ought to be mandatory and recusals should be vigorously pursued. If plaintiffs and their deep-pocketed allies are bringing energy companies to the dock, the least the bench can do is profess its ideological immunization – on the record.
Let’s not pretend this is normal. When the Federalist Society hosts a legal conference, for example, leftists call for judicial bans and ethical investigations. But when the Environmental Law Institute trains judges – in partnership with the Federal Judicial Center, no less – on climate litigation sympathetic to the green agenda, it’s called “objectivity.” The Wall Street Journal nailed it: it’s a double standard, and it’s rotten.
Immediate steps need to be taken to end activist intrusion into America’s courtrooms. Congress should demand an end to any collaboration between the Federal Judicial Center and the Climate Judiciary Project, and clarify the vetting of all outside partnerships. Opponents of President Biden’s failed Supreme Court overhaul should redirect their attention toward the bona fide ethics crisis brewing in state and lower federal courts. State officials must bar the Environmental Law Institute and its affiliates from using taxpayer-funded facilities and law schools for ideological boot camps. If you care about judicial integrity, now’s the time to shout it from the rooftops; silence is compliance.
The CJP may be embarrassed, but it’s not stopping. If the courts are to survive this activist incursion, it will only be because the defendants, attorneys, and lawmakers recognize what’s happening and fight back with every ounce of transparency, scrutiny, and legal fortitude they can muster. Otherwise, we’ll all pay at the pump, in the courts, and in the loss of an independent judiciary.

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.
