November 3 & 4 – Received more messages, hurt, and comments in both support and against my writings and efforts toward the election. Friends lost, friends gained. Followers unsubscribed and canceled, new followers added by the thousands.
November 5 – Watched election results unfolding all night.
November 6 – Went to bed in the early morning hours, around 2:30 AM, having watched all news cycles possible, and still not confident even in the claimed result…
Woke up at 5:30 AM seeing confirmation of the news that victory was sure.
Every morning of my voting life, I have never once been on the victor’s side in an American President election. Not once.
Today I wake up with an unfamiliar feeling.
Winning comes with many costs.
My heart is full, and that fulness is twofold: both with gratitude and equally suffering that feeling of extreme empathy for those I know are now scared, terrified, and concerned with the result.
That’s how I’ve woken up after every election over nearly thirty years.
The only time I’ve been on the victor’s side is when I ran for president of my high school.
From what I was told, it was a landslide.
I was sick to my stomach for my peers whom I had run against, knowing how they must feel, and hoping we could work together to make our school better.
Most came along with me and we had an incredible year, yet a few turned away, not willing to take my hand and walk together.
My hand outstretched, they never took it, and we were never the same as friends despite all my attempts to live in unity.
Here’s what I know, having never had my choice of president selected for my entire adult voting life: As long as I kept my Promise to God, myself, and loved my neighbor, things have turned out fine no matter who won – not ideal – but survivable, as I supported the victor. That’s important, no matter the side.
The original 2 commandments and the Golden Rule. They are real teachings and game-changers for a reason. They work, try them on.
We are One Nation under God. I believe that. He is the Author and great Unifier.
My prayer is that those who wake up today with new (and old) fears may know there are so many of us who, on the victor’s side, awaken with the same feeling you do. We arise with conflicted joy for winning, and one of concern for our fellow man, woman and child, with the commitment to hold outstretched hands in unity and compassion, hoping that hand will be grasped.
I have been so persecuted for voicing my support for the side I have taken, that I equally will do all in my power to be one who will unite, show love, listen, and help us heal. I will not, do not, actively persecute, even though my alliance with our returning president has been tabbed as doing such just by standing where I do, which is atrociously inaccurate and unfair, and it is my intention to prove that is not the case. Love wins. This time will be different due to who is on the team and who is involved.
I Promise.
As scared as so many feel this day, please know, that is how scared the other half have been for many years as well. It goes both ways. Thus the reason to fight. Thus the reason to keep the Promise despite any results. It’s a terribly challenging task, but making and keeping The Promise brings clarity of purpose regardless of the choices set upon our environment or opportunity.
The fight will continue towards unity, charity, and love.
America is not healthy. My promise is to help with that in the ways that only I can, having been divinely appointed with a particular brand, style and ability that is not everyone’s cup of tea intentionally, a flavor that brings families together as it’s core for existing, through healing with humor, inspiration, spreading joy, and silliness, it is a unique mission no doubt.
I will continue to be put down by those who will experience my performance in snippets online and with their hearts set to criticize, and raised up by those in attendance who feel the spirit of the presentation in it’s purpose and promise, as they become fans of my G-rated variation of humor, inspirational stories, and call to action. That is intentional and always has been, it’s just finally hitting it’s stride on a national stage after 25 years in a world longing for something different everyone can enjoy together, uncensored, caption friendly.
Equally, we will help heal our nation through a divinely created product that can change everyone’s hearts and bodies who give it a shot in Cardio Miracle.
I have been invited to go on tour again in the future across this country with multiple collaborators and people who’s names and voices are greater and more well known than mine, where I will lend and play a small part in healing our nation through my gifts and unafraid to courageously speak out and up.
Please support me in this effort to heal our nation.
This for us, our family, and our health company, was not just a hope for some promotion to the people to sell a product – trust me, I have plenty of speaking gigs and my Dad has plenty of money through his decades of success – this is a mission with Cardio Miracle that we are on Under God’s command, errand and blessing. His hand has guided us and my faith has never been so tried, and equally so vindicated.
I am grateful to have been a small part of something that I felt was important, even essential, to my family’s safety, present, and future.
To those who feel compromised and concerned, even though you probably are no longer reading my words because you said goodbye over the last few weeks, I hope you’ll realize that you are loved, you will be in and on my heart, and I will fight for you, for unity, healing, and believe we can once again become One Nation Under God.
With President Donald J. Trump as our Leader, as chosen by the popular vote and electoral process, the golden age of our country will return.
I Promise.
May God Bless our Country, our Freedoms, our Families, our Faith, our President and Democracy.
May we be One Nation Under God.

Cudos to you for your courage to express your feelings & thoughts.
We are indeed “One Nation Under God” and I also pray that once again we will become a united Nation.
Stay Strong !!
Thank you so much Lynn. That means a great deal.
Great words Jason. You indeed are one of the greatest human beings. You truly live your promise.
That means a lot. Thank you Bobbye!
Thanks for another great post Jason!!
Wow! Thank you Sandi. Great to hear from you.
Very well said, Jason. I was hoping to see you on TCN shows, but they didn’t include you on television broadcast. May God Bless you & your family!
They only included my portion on YouTube for the Trump one on 10-31-24. All others, I’m assuming due to copyrights with music, weren’t shown on TCN. It would have been cool! Thankfully for me that means more people can only see me in person, which is what is best for me and the viewer. God Bless your family.
Well said Jason this is why you are someone I look up to, you are an authentically a good and kind human who had t let the applause change you from being a humble follower of God.
You’re the best, Leta, thank you for your support and always encouraging words.
I am saddened to hear that some of your followers/friends may have been unkind or have have spoken out against you and what you stand for. I so appreciate your goodness and unwavering courage amidst adversity. Thank you for your words, your example, and for being true to your values – no matter what! You are a good man and I appreciate the way you conduct yourself as you live to keep THE PROMISE.
Thank you Nathan. It has been shocking to lose this amount of friends, in fact an entire community almost…I am astounded by it. But yes, I am grateful for those that have hung in there with me through it and hope we can heal together. Thank you for your example.
Thank you for your positive words. I know you would have lived up to The Promise no matter the outcome.
Congratulations on your success!
That means the world to me, Cheri. I believe that as well. Thank you.
I love your message and the clarity it should give everyone, no matter what political affiliation.
God has spoken through his people and I am hopeful for our future.
Thank you, Jason.
Thank you so much Kim! It’s great to hear from you. Hope all is well.
Jason,
Than you for courageously speaking from your truth and living from your heart. You are such an inspiration and incredible human being. God Bless America. I felt such emotion today driving past a flag knowing that our constitution and everything that made the American dream is being defended. I too have compassion for the other side and pray more of us can walk hand in hand.
Great words, Debra, I love that you felt that wonderful pride seeing the flag, I feel the same.
Thank you for your words of empathy and reconciliation here, dear Jason. I have, from 2015 been a committed Republican “never Trumper”. I fear my Grand Old Party has been pilfered by the personality of one man. I suppose our conservative, inclusive, kind-hearted party is forever gone. This saddens me. I pray that the direst prediction and hate-filled rhetoric of Donald Trump himself will not come to pass.
I love you, Jason. Again, thank you for reaching across such a huge divide with your promise of love as well.
I truly understand where you’re coming from, my friend. I was in that camp until I learned and observed more, and am very certain things will be different this time. Let’s pray with the incredible All-Star team he has around him, it will be as promised. Love you, brother.
Thank you for being who you are Jason.
I love you so very much!!!!
Stay ‘you’ and everything will be alright!!!!
Love you

Love you Blair! Wonderful to hear from you. Hope you are doing well!
