We’re living in a clown world right now, but you already knew that. They say evil is good. Light is dark. Up is down. In is out. The only thing consistent is that left is invariably wrong.
Our clown world is accentuated by it being crunch time in presidential election season. There is definitely a bit of strife in the Republican Party as RINOs, NeoCons, and NeverTrumpers cling to their philosophies while trying to build back their fading GOP base. But the GOP turmoil is the purest calm possible when compared to the ideological earthquakes happening in the Democrat Party.
Nothing highlights how much the Democrat Party has diverged from its base better than the endorsements that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have been able to accumulate over the past couple of weeks.
On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll be discussing the top five endorsements that the Harris-Walz ticket has not only received, but somehow have gotten away with touting. Is Trump Derangement Syndrome so strong in the average Democrat that they’re unwilling to acknowledge that their party is in bed with those they used to consider to be enemies?
Actually, yes. Yes it is. Let’s look at the new icons of the Democrat Party…
Intelligence Community
The CIA, NSA, and spooks across America are now beloved by Democrats. Why? Because over 700 of them penned a lovely endorsement of Kamala Harris. According to The Hill:
More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”
“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Smith told The Hill. “We saw as much during the debate.”
“As we’ve seen for nearly a decade, however, former President Trump has none of those qualities, and he has a scary authoritarian streak,” Smith, who is also the president of National Security Leaders for America, added.
There are two reasons this is being promoted by the Harris campaign instead of swept under the rug. First, it appeals to low-information voters who still think the CIA is trying to stop another 9/11 while the FBI is here to fight crime. Second, it includes many of the “heroes” who helped cover up the Hunter Biden laptop a little less than four years ago.
Big Banking
If there was ever an example of people sticking their heads in the sand, it’s in the Democrats’ acceptance of multiple big banks endorsing the Kamala Harris economic plan. These ignorant voters have no idea what’s in the plan, but it has apparently been revealed behind closed doors to “important” people like Mark Cuban and executives in the big banks.
Let’s stop and think about that for a moment. Democrat voters who once shunned the Republican Party because they felt they were too cozy with big banks and corporate America are now touting Harris’ secret economic plan because it’s being embraced by big banks and corporate America.
Goldman Sachs has gone so far as to call for a Democrat sweep to give them control of the House, Senate, and White House. According to Reuters:
U.S. economic growth would likely get the biggest boost in the coming two years from the Democrats, headed by Kamala Harris, winning the White House and Congress in this November’s elections, according to Goldman Sachs.
Under a Republican sweep, or even with a divided government led by Donald Trump, economic output would take a hit next year, mostly from increased tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies, Goldman said in a note late on Tuesday.
The new Democrat motto should be, “Trust the Bankers because they’ll totally do what’s best for the little guy and they don’t care about making more money for themselves!”
Vladimir Putin
Here’s an endorsement that isn’t being touted by the Harris campaign but they’re not running from it, either. In fact, their leaving it in ambiguous territory by letting journalists pretend Vladimir Putin was joking when in reality he was dead serious.
Here’s what he said:
As for my preferences [in the U.S. election], it is not up to us to decide. After all, the American people will have to make their own choice. As I have already said, we favoured Mr Biden, the current President, but they took him out of the race. That said, he advised his supporters to support Ms Harris. So, we will act accordingly and lend her our support.
Snopes claimed nobody is taking the endorsement seriously, but here’s the thing. Considering they spent the last half of the 2016 campaign and the first half of Trump’s first term trying to claim Russia was helping him, it’s disingenuous for them to now ignore when the leader of Russia says they “will act accordingly and lend her our support.”
The Cheneys and the Military Industrial Complex
Both Liz Cheney and her infamous father, Dick, endorsed Harris for two reasons. First, as card-carrying members of the Military Industrial Complex, it behooves them and the organizations they consult with to see the foreign policies of Joe Biden and Barack Obama continue under a Harris regime.
Second and perhaps more importantly, they know that if Trump gets back into the Oval Office he might be able to uncover the depths of the conspiracy to take him out through the January 6 psyop. Liz Cheney was deeply embedded in that conspiracy and would be first in line to go to jail if a Trump administration can uncover the truth.
But Democrats don’t seem to care. They have forgotten that at one point they hated Vice President Cheney even more than they hated his alleged boss, President George W. Bush. One can argue that over the past two decades, Dick Cheney is the only politician hated more than Trump, an albatross he wears because he’s hated by both Democrats and many Republicans.
Today’s Democrat Party thinks the Cheneys are swell since they endorsed their champion.
The IRS
Is it possible to get more comical than the Harris campaign proudly promoting the endorsement from the tax collectors? The IRS may be the most universally disliked bureaucratic apparatus in Washington DC. Democrats over the decades have been particularly harsh in their condemnation, but they’re letting bygones be bygones following the latest endorsement of Harris.
According to mrcTV:
The union that represents the nation’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents announced Wednesday that it is endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris for president in this year’s election.
Vice President Harris has played a role in “one of the most pro-labor administrations in history,” the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) explained in a press release announcing its decision.
Imagine being a Democrat candidate and getting the endorsement of the union representing IRS agents but not getting an endorsement from the national Teamsters. It’s an organized labor bloodbath and we’re watching it happen in real time, but unfortunately the vast majority of low-information voters have no idea.
This is why it is SO important to do what we can to spread the word. Share this article. Talk to anyone you can. Watch today’s show and have others do the same. Unless we get enough people, particularly Independents and open-minded Democrats, to realize how insane a Harris-Walz regime would be, we leave the door open for more election shenanigans than we saw in 2020.

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.
