In typical fashion for a RINO, Wyoming’s “Republican” governor Mark Gordon did a complete about face (as he is prone to do) last week when speaking on the East Coast at Harvard University. Addressing Harvard’s ultra-left “Kennedy Institute of Politics,” Gordon went into full AOC climate hysteria mode, insisting that Americans, and Wyomingites in particular, need to forfeit their abundant resources of coal and oil, to embrace the unworkable austerity of “green energy.”
The economic and environmental disaster of abandoning fossil fuels is only exceeded by the fraud and duplicity with which the advocates of such policies tout them as resounding successes. Most wind farms never recoup the actual cost and energy required to construct them, and when wind turbines eventually fail, the non-recyclable nature of their composite parts require enormous landfills and other very costly means of disposal, all of which create vast, expensive polluted regions. No problem though! If it isn’t mentioned on the nightly Fake News, most people never spend a moment worrying about it.
The whole “green energy” delusion is akin to the Covid lockdown with all its excesses, abuses, fearmongering, and oppression, only on slow burn. And like Covid, the policies are no more about actually “saving the planet” than were the despotic over-reaches of the Covid nightmare about public “health and safety.” Moreover, the disastrous consequences of an anemic “green” American economy, and the dangerously weakened status of our country as energy dependent, portend dire repercussions that far outweigh the absurdly high prices Americans have to face at the gas pumps. Leftists glory in such hardship, knowing that in the end, it achieves their real goal, which is the acquisition of uncontested power.
So on a hard-left slanted public stage, Gordon saw fit to grandstand in a manner that thoroughly betrays the people whom he claims to represent. Sounding more like California’s Democrat governor Gavin Newsom than the rugged Patriots for which Wyoming is so well known, Gordon promises (threatens?) that Wyoming will be the first state to be “carbon negative,” meaning that it will somehow absorb more carbon than its vast energy resources produce.
Of course he fails to mention that doing so would only be possible if the people live like third world peasants. Such details are hardly points of concern to ruling class elitists who somehow never have to abide by the squalor and deprivation they deem suitable for the little people on “Main Street.”
Sadly, this is far from being the first time the good citizens of the Cowboy State have been deceived and undercut by swamp creatures masquerading under the banner of being “Republicans.” It was only last year that Wyomingites gave RINO Liz Cheney a decisive boot to send her packing, after she showed herself to be totally in bed with such notable leftists as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, both of whom are particularly noxious California Democrats. Unfortunately, Gordon was reelected at the same time, meaning Wyoming will have to suffer his two-faced agenda until 2026.
Meanwhile, back in Cheyenne, the State Legislature is suffering its own miseries under the thoroughly sullied headship of House Speaker Albert Sommers, another devout and consistent RINO. While vastly bloating the state budget last year with an archetypical “by now pay later” financial shell game, Sommers sees fit to attack not the leftist climate hysteria of the Governor, nor the state’s handful of Democrat legislators, but the Conservative Patriots of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus.
Amazingly, Sommers decries the Freedom Caucus for it’s ostensibly “divisive” message, since its members have been critical of Sommers and his flagrantly non-conservative approach to the state’s budgetary concerns. In a manner that is thoroughly reminiscent of Washington D.C. “Establishment” Republicans and leftists, Sommers can only find a strong voice when attempting to silence and intimidate those Republican members of the legislature who actually seek to abide by the principles the Party claims to uphold. Betrayal by Wyoming’s governor? No big deal. Demands from the Freedom Caucus that Wyoming Republicans legislate like Republicans? Now there’s a mortal threat that cannot be allowed to continue!
This pattern of betrayal has actually been going on in Wyoming for many years. But in the past, the RINO “Establishment” enjoyed the benefit of a state party apparatus that was completely in bed with it. Since that dynamic has changed, and Conservatives now dominate the Wyoming GOP (a separate entity from the State Legislature), business as usual “Republicans” have overwhelmingly exited the party, and are conducting their own nefarious politicking under the sanctimonious banner of “Frontier Republicans.”
In that manner, they claim to be the “real Republicans,” while embracing the resources, interests, and ideology of the likes of Liz Cheney and other D.C. Swamp Creatures who deem Wyoming to be at best a “stepping stone” to bigger things, and mere “flyover country” the rest of the time.
America can learn a huge lesson from the RINO chicanery that has been going on for far too long in its smallest population state. Citizens at the “grassroots” must become diligently engaged in the processes and actions of those in high office. Otherwise, such positions are extremely prone to degenerating into self-serving instruments of the special interests. The corrupt and deceitful actions of Gordon, Sommers, and other entrenched politicians are by no means confined to the State of Wyoming. If anything, they are highly reflective of similar duplicity occurring within other presumably “conservative” state party operations elsewhere.
But this cloud has a silver lining! The tide may finally be turning in Wyoming, which portends a similar shift in other Conservative states across America. The state’s legislature is on the brink of turning from RINO to “Red,” with several likely primary challenges to once entrenched career politicians next year. At that point, the legislature would begin to govern as the people want it to do, signaling a sea change in state level politics throughout the Nation.
However, a difficult, uphill battle lies ahead. It is guaranteed that the RINOs of Wyoming’s political apparatus will receive vast funding from out of state, by which they no doubt intend to conduct a lavish media campaign of deception and character assassination against aspiring Freedom Caucus members and incumbents. The Swamp has no intention of going peacefully into the night.
Yet if the people of Wyoming remain vigilant and engaged as they were last year, they may prove to be immune to such manipulations. That was their message to the “Establishment” when similar scamming was attempted in hopes of Liz Cheney holding on to Wyoming’s lone Congressional seat.
This is no time for complacency and resting on laurels. The battle between the Freedom Caucus and the Liz Cheney Republicans in Wyoming is crucial in and of itself. But it is also a microcosm of how real Conservatives and Patriots across America can reclaim our Nation from the filthy hands of the duplicitous special interests.

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.
Excellent article on the moronic governor — another Cheney clone goon! To enact a “sustainable” green future, it would take a completely empty one—half the American land mass to support a depopulated other one—half – a nightmare scenario, but one THEY desire!
A nation of complete Ameritards! No worries, plenty of Federal Reserve–lovers like James Howard Kunstler who switched to “conservative” side to “show” us the way?!?!
One week they urge mass plantings of trees (a logical solution), the next week megalomaniac Bill Gates wants to cut down all the trees and darken the skies over Europe – God help us one and all!
LOL gives a speech at Terrorists Loving Harvard, i live in Boston, my dad ran a department at Harvard observatory in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Harvard is a colossal waste of money, send your kids to trade school because South Park was spot on on learning a trade, all my friends who were tradesmen had houses before my college friends did, they had summer homes on lakes when my college friends were still renting apartments because they were paying off their school loans.
college is a scam
who spends all that money for a degree in something like “interpretive dance” or “women’s issues” expecting a job when they get out?
idiots…………….that’s who
This is insane. How on earth did this goof get elected in Wyoming?
Attention editor: “by now pay later” should be “buy now pay later”
