After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, and the violent targeting of federal agents in Minnesota, non-leftists in America must accept that leftists intend to do them harm. There are no signs that Democrats want to de-escalate political tensions in the United States. On the contrary, at least since community organizer Barack Obama became president, escalation — including verbal harassment, stalking, physical intimidation, and outright violence — has been a key component of Democrats’ political strategy. Scaring political opponents into silence or subjugation is now standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party.
Elected Republicans have proven useless in protecting non-leftist Americans. They routinely ignore leftist violence in the United States or actually join the Left’s side. Remember when then-senator Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter protesters during 2020’s “summer of love” while Antifa and BLM were burning down cities, looting businesses, and murdering Americans across the country? Remember when then-senator Jeff Flake blamed President Trump’s “rhetoric” for causing a left-wing nut-job from Illinois to try to massacre an entire baseball field of Republican lawmakers (including Flake) in 2017? When elected Republicans are so beaten into submission that they defend the very people who wish them dead, normal Americans cannot look to them for even basic protection.
It would be nice to think that this month’s Minneapolis insurrection against federal law enforcement officers would jolt sleeping American voters awake. Surely Republicans will be able to keep their slim majority in Congress later this year when Democrats are waging war against the U.S. government. Who would vote for the party that attacks police officers? Unfortunately, we’ve seen this show too many times. If there’s one thing that elected Republicans enjoy more than taking money from lobbyists who pay them to betray their own voters, it is finding a way back to being in the minority.
When President Trump beat “Crooked” Hillary Clinton in 2016, he did so by appealing to black, Hispanic, and working-class voters in a way that no Republican had done since Dwight D. Eisenhower. Instead of appreciating how Trump had revolutionized the Republican Party and quickly supporting his agenda, then-speaker of the House Paul Ryan pretended that the Democrats’ Russia Collusion Hoax was real, slow-walked Trump’s plans for a border wall, ignored every other promise Trump had made to voters, practically encouraged sitting Republican lawmakers to retire before the midterms, and promptly retired from office himself after handing Democrats the House in 2018.
After giving Nancy Pelosi the House, Ryan joined Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation Board of Directors, a perch from which Ryan criticized Trump’s re-election campaigns in 2020 and 2024. During all that time, Ryan continued to ignore how substantially Trump had expanded the Republican Party’s appeal to Americans across class and racial heritage and instead regularly accused the president of catering to a small group of white MAGA voters.
In truth, Trump received more votes in the 2024 election than any political candidate in American history (aside from puppet Joe Biden’s 2020 election “victory” in which questionable mail-in-ballot procedures conducive to large-scale fraud supposedly gave the Delaware dimwit fifteen million more votes than Democrat demigod Barack Obama).
The point is this: elected Republicans have proven time and again that they are willing to hand the Democrat Party victories it should not have — even if they must vilify a sitting Republican president.
If this were not clear before January 6, 2021, it certainly was clear afterwards. As much as corporate news propagandists have worked with the Democrat Party (and RINO saboteurs) to frame the million-person protest against mail-in-ballot fraud and the tainted 2020 election as a violent “insurrection,” it was no such thing. Corrupt FBI agents, DoJ prosecutors, and leftist judges certainly did everything they could to help the Marxist rewriters of history portray the protest as a “revolution” and attempt to “overthrow the government,” but they always hide the fact that none of the protesters were armed. Unarmed protesters do not make an “insurrection.”
On the contrary, armed rioters attacking federal agents — as we have seen in Minneapolis — constitute nothing less than an insurrection. Strangely, the propaganda press calls the former “violent” and the latter “peaceful.” That’s how liars perpetuate false “narratives.”
What the J6 election integrity protests taught non-leftists in America is that nobody in a position of power will protect them. After the election-riggers successfully dispatched Donald Trump in 2021, Democrats could have calmed things down and attempted to heal the wounds of a deeply divided country.
They did no such thing. Instead, the FBI and DoJ dedicated substantial resources to identifying (using Intelligence Community surveillance systems), hunting down, and prosecuting every grandparent, veteran, and patriot who had the bad misfortune of walking through the Capitol’s open doors and strolling through the “People’s House” that day.
The propaganda press called every Trump supporter a “domestic terrorist.” Senator Mitch McConnell and his RINO battalion (Murkowski, Romney, Tillis, Collins, Cassidy, Cornyn, etc.) joined former president George W. Bush and the rogues’ gallery of NeverTrumpers in immediately calling the three-hour tour of Congress an “insurrection.” It was almost as if Establishment Republicans, Democrats, and corporate news propagandists had agreed to the same talking points even before the January 6 protest began.
For the four years of Biden’s installation, Trump and his voters were under attack. Corrupt Democrat prosecutors and judges inflicted maximum pain on the president, his associates, J6 protesters, pro-life Christians, parents objecting to sexualized agendas in their children’s classrooms, and anyone who got in the Left’s way.
The corrupt Biden administration attempted to institutionalize a censorship board to police conservatives’ speech. Biden’s tyrannical COVID authorities threatened to remove children from un-“vaccinated” parents, bar un-“vaccinated” workers from gainful employment, and lock up un-“vaccinated” Americans in “quarantine camps” until they were properly re-educated.
Think about what leftists are already promising to unleash once they retake political power. They don’t simply plan on expanding the Supreme Court with Marxists or delivering mass amnesty for the tens of millions of illegal aliens already inside the United States.
An Ohio Democrat running for attorney general plans on seeking the death penalty for President Trump. Philadelphia’s Democrat district attorney Larry Krasner says ICE agents will be “hunted down” like “Nazis” for as many decades as it takes. An NYU professor is demanding “Nuremberg Trials” for Trump officials once Democrats regain power, and Democrats on social media want “to go door to door rounding up ‘red hats’ if they win again.” NeverTrumper Rick Wilson has explicitly called for White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller “to be the first one who is tried and convicted and fucking dangles.”
Meanwhile, random Democrat librarians are recruiting social media followers to assassinate President Trump, and random Democrat nurses are working to poison federal agents. Virginia’s Democrat attorney general has fantasized about shooting Republicans in the head and watching Republicans’ children die in their mothers’ arms. Calling for the death of the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats chant, “Kristi Noem will hang!” Actress Molly Ringwald insists that Trump supporters will be found guilty of treason for having “collaborated” with “fascists.”
Too many violent Democrats want us dead. Too few authorities will do anything to stop the threat. Be safe. Be vigilant. Be ready.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
