(End of the American Dream)—I was recently reminded that as we were getting ready to enter September I described it as a “pivotal” month. I got to thinking about that, and I decided to look up the definition of “pivot”. According to Vocabulary.com, to pivot “is to turn or rotate, like a hinge”. I found that to be very interesting, because events have certainly taken a significant “turn” this month, haven’t they? In fact, many are referring to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as a major “turning point”, and that also happens to be the name of the organization that he founded.
We have seen such an explosion of emotion on all sides in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death.
But there is one thing that virtually everybody agrees on.
Nothing will be the same after this.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that more political violence is coming. Members of Congress from both parties are cancelling public events, and President Trump just requested an additional 58 million dollars for more security for the executive and judicial branches…
The Trump administration has sounded the alarm on what we’ve openly described as “civil terrorism” – revolutionary left-wing political violence – following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. In a sign of urgency, the White House requested an extra $58 million in security funding for the executive and judicial branches, according to a Bloomberg News report.
I wrote quite a bit about Charlie Kirk’s shooter on Friday, and over the weekend we learned some shocking new details.
It is being reported that Tyler Robinson lived with a “transgender partner” named Lance Twiggs…
A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday’s shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a ‘transgender partner’ who is co-operating with the investigation.
Now it is becoming clear why Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk so much. The following comes from the New York Post article that was mentioned in the quote above…
Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.
That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.
According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived.
The mainstream media definitely did not want this to be true, but the nature of their relationship has been confirmed by a neighbor.
Decades ago, a political assassination of this nature would have brought the country together.
But that isn’t happening this time.
Social media is filled with suggestions from radical leftists about who the next target should be, and meanwhile many on the right are finally realizing that the far left has declared war on them.
This isn’t going to end well, but of course most of you already knew that.
Meanwhile, there has been another major “turning point” at the United Nations.
The UN General Assembly just voted 142 to 10 in favor of a declaration that sets forth “tangible, time-bound and irreversible steps” that are supposed to lead to a two-state solution…
The United Nations General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to endorse a declaration outlining “tangible, time-bound and irreversible steps” toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, without the involvement of Hamas.
One hundred and forty-two countries vote in favor of the non-binding resolution enshrining the New York Declaration, which also calls on Hamas to release all hostages and condemns the terror group’s October 7 onslaught.
Joining Israel and the United States in opposing the resolution were Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga. Twelve countries abstained.
We are seeing the biggest push for a Palestinian state that we have ever witnessed.
Saudi Arabia and France co-sponsored this resolution. It envisions full international recognition of a Palestinian state that is governed by the Palestinian Authority…
It calls for the Palestinian Authority to govern all Palestinian territory, with a transitional committee formed after a ceasefire. “In the context of ending the war in Gaza, Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority,” it states. The declaration also backs a “temporary international stabilization mission” under U.N. auspices to protect civilians, monitor a ceasefire, and guarantee security for both sides.
The text urges global recognition of Palestine, calling this “an essential and indispensable component of the achievement of the two-state solution.” Without naming Israel, it warns that “illegal unilateral actions are posing an existential threat to the realization of the independent state of Palestine.”
All Gulf Arab states supported the resolution. Israel dismissed it as one-sided “theater,” with Netanyahu declaring shortly before the vote that “there will be no Palestinian state.” The U.S. likewise branded it a “misguided and ill-timed publicity stunt.”
Needless to say, many Israeli officials are absolutely furious about the vote that just took place.
In fact, some of them are calling for the West Bank to be formally annexed in response…
Top Israeli ministers on Saturday amplified calls for the government to annex the West Bank, a day after the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed a declaration calling for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
The non-binding resolution, which outlined “tangible, time-bound and irreversible steps” toward a two-state solution, without the involvement of Hamas, was endorsed by 142 countries, with 10 votes against and 12 abstentions.
On Saturday evening, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich posted on X, calling the UN declaration “a diplomatic attack on Israel,” and said that the fact that it has been met largely with silence from Israel is “unacceptable and cannot continue.”
If Israel actually did make a move to formally annex the West Bank, Israel’s neighbors would either have to accept it or take military action.
If Israel’s neighbors united and came against Israel, that would truly be an apocalyptic scenario.
Of course a major war has already been raging in the Middle East since October 2023. On Sunday, the IDF flattened more high-rise buildings in Gaza…
The Israeli military struck multiple high-rise buildings in Gaza City on Sunday, after warning people to leave several neighborhoods, in the latest round of destruction since Israel ordered a complete evacuation of the city earlier this week.
Israel’s assault on Gaza City appeared to be accelerating, with the military issuing evacuation orders for several towers in Gaza City within just a few hours Sunday morning.
The strikes came ahead of a meeting called by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss efforts to avoid harming the hostages still held in Gaza when the Israeli military undertakes a ground operation planned to take control of Gaza City, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Personally, I do not believe that we will see full international recognition of a Palestinian state until the war in the Middle East is over.
But without a doubt, what we just witnessed at the UN was incredibly shocking.
Global events are building up to a crescendo, and we get to be here to witness these pivotal moments.
If you think that things are crazy now, just wait, because things are going to get even crazier in the months ahead.

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.
When “EVERYTHING” you Believe is a LIE, they have done their job ! We “Really” don’t know if Charlie is actually dead since just about everything we have been fed is questionable. The Only things we know are true is the date and place of event(s). No mention of the mask the person of interest is wearing, weapon(s)… all over the place, what about all the hand signals moments before kill shot. This whole ordeal smells of corrupt T.P. personnel and mossad since Charlie started speaking out against events in Gaza/Israel.
Yeah, Sept and Oct are always BAD months for something to happen.
Michael,
A few years back you were all wound up about September, a blood moon, and other events that you said we’re a bad omen. Nothing happened, nothing.
