(WND)—The latest warning making the rounds concerns the least-qualified person being the most likely person to be the next president of the United States. The call has gone out to the citizens! Get ready to fight the existential threat of the Obama team’s fourth term. And we pause for a moment of mournful prayer. None of us can see the future, to be sure (except maybe once). But, given the present circumstance, we had damned-well better exercise our suspicions.
I rarely write in the first person, but, here, I must suspect my own thinking first, and let others confess or deny their own gullibility, without my making any accusations. Am I alone in being encouraged by the assurances of victory of these incessant drum-beating polls concerning the coming battle of the Titans? OK, maybe more like the battle between the Titan, Trump, and that other, well-past-his-expiration fellow, old Joe Biden. But how can any righteous being in this long-suffering nation not hear these daily lopsided polling reports, as music to the ears?
But, “fool me once,” etc., etc.
I remember, being nearly overcome with a joyful certainty, both in ’16 and ’20, that the forces opposing Trump’s MAGA were so patently pathetic that victory was assured. Being right, one time out of two, is never much comfort when you’re counting the times that we avoided a coup. Hmm. Is this a bit of déjà vu?
I remember deciding to skip the clot shot and being encouraged by all the information that was surfacing about the actual impotency of the China flu, if addressed with prompt symptomatic treatment (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, any available inflammation-reducing treatments, administered immediately, etc.) and the gradually emerging but stark evidence of the deadly consequence of taking the “safe and effective” “vaccine.” I wrote an article calling it genocide. I thought we were about to turn the corner!
Instead, what emerged was a worldwide administrative state in lockstep denial of what has become obvious to the billions who now take a pass, opting out of any further administrations of the poison. We have gone from a planetary flood of the sadly fooled to a trickle of benighted, still willing, pin cushions. Despite this the promotions by Big Pharma, Big Gov and Big Media have continued. They are still running ads for the “vaccines.” And we still have no shortage of doctors who, in blinding fear, continue to carry the murderous party line. They’ve made enough money, by now to buy almost anyone – and gathered power enough to threaten, with professional and social extinction, anyone contra-indicating their deadly prescription.
I can remember being very excited to hear the prognosticated “news,” in 2020. Surely, one thought, as election fraud case after case was kicked up to the next higher court, the Supreme Court would inevitably have to hear the petition for relief, put forth by no less than 19 sovereign states. But it was not to be. Logically, it would seem to the rational mind the wholesale theft of America could never have begun or proceeded without the certainty of that outcome arranged and known in advance. Maybe they just had to improvise and lucked out, but an ace of blackmail spades up their sleeve for one or two of the Supremes seems more probable.
I remember watching “2,000 Mules” and writing some nonsense about the Kraken having been finally located. At last, the proof positive had been revealed with mathematically provable clarity. But so much as a mention of “2,000 Mules” was universally suppressed, even by Fox News and NewsMax.
So, now comes the time, to stop and measure the degree to which propaganda can utterly smother the truth.
Now comes the time to watch what we ourselves are thinking and question the origins of the viewpoint. Did we hink it out? Or did we simply succumb to hostile influences that are strategically offering us something we would really much rather believe?
I would gladly agree to be giddy at the vision of the wretched Biden falling before the Trump juggernaut. But, aha! Be still my pounding heart! Let’s move the issue about a foot to the north and think about it.
Biden is already toast, to be sure. Talking Democrat shills are starting to spread the word, even now.
What is being portrayed by the propaganda arm of the DNC, and apparently soothing even many on the right? What a conundrum! What a fatal trap has ensnared the left! Not only is old Joe uninterested in stepping aside, but they have no one else who can reliably replace him!
Don’t believe it. It’s an ambush.
Head fake No. 1: Well, it’s really up to Joe, whatever he decides to do. [Not.]
Head fake No. 2: Michelle O. really doesn’t want to get her hands dirty. Maybe she’s just too sensitive or too lazy. [Not.]
Head fake No. 3: Barack’s team isn’t really running the show. Joe is in charge now. He only has half of Barack’s old staffers, working as half of Joe’s new staffers, because Obama’s just a generous guy. [Not.]
Head fake No. 4: Michelle’s not even running a primary challenge, so it’s all out of the question. [Not.]
There are voices on the right, just now coming out of the ether, acknowledging the high probability of Joe stroking out (or whatever) just after his nomination is confirmed, leaving the Dems “no choice” but to name a favored replacement. Michelle Obama will take to the mic and claim it’s not a job she wants, but to save the country she is willing. And never you mind about my qualifications. Because I will have the most qualified adviser in America by my side.
Remember this. Michelle remains among America’s most beloved. The women’s vote. The black vote. Everything the Dems have to rely on. Plus, the Obama name has long since proved its mettle. And, if Trump prevails, the same manner of lawfare unjustly used against him may well be justly addressed to vanquish the treasonous, who have been doing all things possible to destroy America. So, think about it Michelle. You and Barack could play good cop/bad cop all day long, and all of America will still love you, as if your name were Oprah Obama.
The point here is that, for now, campaigning against Biden may be the fools’ mission of the century. The most logical thing is to raise the alarm, identify Biden, once and for all, as the Obama proxy that he is, and address the Obama-Biden regime as one and the same, a nation-destroying team, with our erstwhile heroine, Michelle, the next bitter slugger on deck.

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.
