At The Prophetic, we honestly don’t even know where to start in responding to something as grotesque as what happened with Charlie Kirk. 

We did not follow Kirk, therefore we are not clear on his views, nor do we stand with them. 

Our stance is that, we believe fiercely in every American’s constitutional right to freedom of speech—the right to express oneself, one's religious, and political beliefs, even when we may or may not feel they’re misguided.

Our leaders here at Zoe Ministries grew up in a world shaped by figures like:

Conservative / Right-Leaning:

Condoleezza Rice – Former Secretary of State.

Liberal / Left-Leaning:

Barack Obama – Former U.S. President.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – U.S. Representative.

Elizabeth Warren – U.S. Senator.
Bernie Sanders – U.S. Senator.
Rachel Maddow – Media personality.

Centrist / Moderate:

Joe Manchin – U.S. Senator, Democrat but often centrist.

Mitt Romney – U.S. Senator, Republican but sometimes moderate.
Kyrsten Sinema – U.S. Senator, known for centrist positions.

And TV personas like Archie Bunker, Bill Cosby, Claire Huxtable, Al and Peggy Bundy, and George Jefferson. 

And so we do recognize that there are differences in opinions. In addition, that prejudice is real. 

But because it exists, it must be challenged, educated, debated, and confronted—never met with violence. 

No one should ever be harmed, harassed, or un-alived, because of an opinion. Every American should feel outraged—not at his views, but at the fact that if it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone. 

Disagreement is human; murder is never acceptable.

Diversity—of thought, of experience, of belief—is America’s strength. Through it, we innovate, we invent, we grow, and we progress. 

Some claim America “was already here,” but America, as we know it, was built through struggle, courage, and the efforts of countless people—some by choice, others by force. Together, they forged and discovered a future better than the past.

We have that same God-given duty. When we imagine America’s tomorrow, we must ask ourselves and each other: what will we leave for the next generation? 

I hope it is the same freedom, the same bravery, the same unshakable spirit we inherited. That, above all, is what makes America truly great.

This fall, Coca‑Cola is shaking things up—and it’s not just the fizz. In a bold move that has both political and pop culture watchers talking, President Donald Trump announced that he’s been in talks with Coca‑Cola, and the result is a sweeter shift: Coca‑Cola made with real American cane sugar.

Trump shared the news directly, stating that he spoke with the beverage giant and secured an agreement to bring back Coke with real cane sugar—a version many consumers have long preferred over high-fructose corn syrup. According to Trump, it’s a move that “just tastes better,” and millions of fans agree.

Coca‑Cola quickly confirmed the news, making it official: starting this fall, a new variation of Coke made with cane sugar will be available across the United States.

🍬 Why This Matters

This announcement marks a significant shift. While Coca‑Cola already sells sugar-sweetened versions internationally (often called “Mexican Coke”), American consumers have largely been offered versions using high-fructose corn syrup since the 1980s. Many believe the cane sugar version offers a richer, cleaner, and more nostalgic flavor—something that has grown in popularity through specialty stores and limited seasonal releases.

By launching a domestically produced, sugarcane-sweetened Coke, Coca‑Cola is meeting a long-standing demand while supporting U.S. agriculture. The sugar will reportedly come from cane farms in Florida and Louisiana, boosting domestic production and offering consumers a product made closer to home.

The Bigger Picture

This move isn’t just about taste—it’s about choice, health perception, and even patriotism. While cane sugar and corn syrup deliver similar calories, many consumers believe that cane sugar is the “real” and healthier option. By introducing a choice between traditional Coke and the new sugarcane version, Coca‑Cola is giving consumers the power to decide what they want in their glass.

This also gives Trump an economic and cultural win. Championing American-made products and American-grown ingredients plays right into his longstanding “America First” message. And let’s be honest—who would’ve expected a political figure to influence the formula of the world’s most iconic soda?

What to Expect This Fall

• The new Coke will hit shelves nationwide—you’ll know it by the label, which will clearly note its cane sugar content.

• It won’t replace the classic—the traditional formula with corn syrup will still be available, so fans can choose either one.

• It may come in glass bottles, aluminum cans, or even plastic—but you’ll taste the difference no matter the packaging.

This partnership between President Trump and Coca‑Cola is more than just a product launch—it’s a cultural moment. It taps into nostalgia, pride, and good old-fashioned American taste.

Whether you’re a die-hard Coke fan or just someone excited to see more natural ingredients hitting the shelves, fall 2025 is going to be a sweet season. So get ready—real sugar is making a comeback.

Will you be trying the new Coke? Let us know how it tastes.

In a conference room. Yes, baby—President Donald J. Trump, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his cabinet members, heads bowed in humble, unified prayer before a major meeting. Whew. I’m not crying, you’re crying!

The President, " In America We Don't Worship The Government  We Worship God". Here take a listen...

You can talk policy. You can talk polls. But what you can’t talk is faith like that unless you’ve got it flowing through your veins like holy fire. I don’t care how you feel politically—this wasn’t about left, right, or red hats. This was about a moment—a man leading with reverence, inviting God into the room before making decisions that could shape the future of millions.

You know how rare that is? In a world full of power-hungry, spotlight-chasing, ego-driven leaders, THIS man stopped and said, “Let’s pray first.” Y’all want to talk about leadership? Let’s start there. Let’s start with the strength it takes to say, “We need divine guidance before we move forward.”

The room was quiet. Still. The kind of hush that says, Heaven is listening. And baby, I felt it. Through the screen. Through the noise. Through all the media madness and political circus. It was real. It was raw. And it was righteous.

Say what you want—but don’t say it to me. Because when a leader leads not just with strategy, but with the Spirit of God? What more can we ask of them? That’s not just politics. That’s purpose. That’s presence. That’s prophetic.

So, go ahead and roll your eyes if you want. Mock it. Meme it. Spin it. I don’t care. I saw what I saw. And what I saw was a man who loves America and doesn't want to be President without inviting God.

OMG. Let me tell you something right now before we go any further: DON’T. YOU. SAY.

 ANYTHING. ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO ME. I mean it. Zip it. Because what I just witnessed was nothing short of divine.

Let's pray and cover our leaders in prayer. And remember why faith still matters in the halls of power.

Every election cycle, it’s the same story. Every time certain politicians—especially Democrats—start talking to Black communities, it’s always about food stamps, welfare, free lunches, free housing, or some DEI program.

And honestly? I’m tired of it.

It’s as if they think all we care about is surviving—just barely getting by. As if we’re not capable of thriving, building, owning, or leading in industries outside of just social programs. 

They love to show up at Black churches, pose in photo ops, and talk about “assistance,” but rarely do they come with a real conversation about ownership, innovation, or wealth building.

Yes, when hard times hit, we do need help. Nobody’s above that. But don’t box us in. We are ambitious, progressive, and we enjoy the finer things in life too. Black folks aren’t just sitting around waiting for a handout—we’re out here starting businesses, investing, and dreaming big.

Where are the conversations about:

Financial literacy programs that go beyond “coupon cutting” and actually teach about investing, stocks, and entrepreneurship?

Where are the plans to:

Fix the crumbling education infrastructure in our neighborhoods?

Make sure Black farmers, Black contractors, and Black creators get equal access to grants and funding?

We can’t keep being handed the same tired playbook. Sure, food programs and social welfare may help in the short term—but what’s the long-term plan? 

Because here’s the truth: We want more. We want to own homes, launch businesses, build generational wealth, and leave legacies behind.

Start talking to us about venture capital. Start talking to us about federal grants and government contracts. Start talking to us about innovation.

We are not a charity case—we are an economic force. And if you can’t recognize that, maybe you don’t deserve our vote.

Effective July 8, 2025, the TSA has officially ended its nearly two-decade-old requirement for passengers to remove their shoes at security checkpoints nationwide. The announcement came directly from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, who confirmed the change during a press briefing at Reagan National Airport.

Why the Change?

Exceptions may still apply. Individuals selected for additional screening protocols may be asked to remove their shoes at an agent’s discretion.

TSA PreCheck still offers advantages, like keeping belts, jackets, laptops, and compliant liquids in place—though shoe-removal was once its biggest perk.

Why This Update Matters

Reduces wait times at checkpoints and unclogs lines. The move is especially timely with major global events like the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics coming to the U.S. 

Improves traveler experience by eliminating a discomfort many passengers dreaded—especially barefoot walks across unsanitized floors.

Signals modernization. Secretary Noem emphasized DHS’s commitment to improving the travel experience while maintaining the high security standards passengers expect.

Yes—all major U.S. airports no longer require you to remove your shoes at TSA checkpoints. Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted improved technology and layered screening as the reason behind this practical and overdue change. While additional screening—including shoe removal—may still occur in some rare cases, for most travelers this means faster, cleaner, and easier airport security.

From the Prophetic Desk, let it be stated plainly—this is a season where discernment must lead us. While many are waiting and praying for economic breakthrough, leadership in this nation has shifted its focus elsewhere. President Trump and his supporters have been celebrating the recent Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship—yet many Americans are still asking a very simple question: Where is the economic relief?

President Trump’s administration pushed forward a policy to restrict birthright citizenship, challenging the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment. He argued that this amendment was never intended to apply to the children of undocumented immigrants. Courts across the nation pushed back, but now the Supreme Court has ruled that lower courts can’t block the policy nationwide unless it directly affects the people bringing the lawsuit. And with that, President Trump called it a “monumental victory.”

But we must ask—a victory for whom?

From where we sit prophetically, the heart of the people is burdened not by legal battles over citizenship, but by the rising costs of living, wages that remain stagnant, and communities struggling to recover from economic hardship. The nation is still waiting on the thriving economy that was promised. Many are barely surviving. Families are stretched thin. Businesses are closing their doors.

And while President Trump declares this a win, the people are still waiting for leaders to focus on what truly matters—economic restoration, thriving businesses and corporations, job creation, and financial stability for American households.

The prophetic reminder today is simple: "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21). Leaders must be careful not to place their focus on distractions while the nation cries out for provision.

As of July 27, this policy may go into effect in some parts of the nation, but the legal battles are far from over. However, let it be known from the Prophetic Desk: America needs more than courtroom victories and campaign headlines. America needs answers, jobs, hope, and financial peace.

We are in a time where the people are not interested in political distractions—they are crying out for wisdom in leadership, solutions for their families, and relief from the heavy burden of inflation.

Mr. President, respectfully—if your plans do not involve rebuilding this economy, the people simply aren’t hearing you right now.

We will continue to pray for this nation’s leaders, but also to remind them of this prophetic truth: justice without mercy is incomplete, and leadership without provision is out of order.
