The Urban Institute released a disturbing study this week showing that one out of every four Americans now has to go without food sometimes because it is just too expensive under fake president Joe Biden.
When the Pedophile-in-Chief first assumed office in January 2021, only one in five Americans was occasionally having trouble buying enough food for proper nourishment. That figure spiked to one in four at the end of 2022, constituting a massive 23 percent increase in just one year’s time.
Bidenflation caused a whopping 63.2 percent of adults in America to see their grocery costs increase “a lot” last year. The most negatively affected demographics were Hispanic and black adults, the data shows.
Those whose food costs spiked “a lot” in 2022 were also found to be nearly twice as likely as other adults to, on occasion, have trouble buying enough food to eat. (Related: Last summer, a handful of senators blasted Biden, warning that his “inflation bomb” would drive the American economy straight into the ground, which it clearly has.)
Biden claims inflation is going down – is his mental capability really that bad, or is he just a chronic liar?
Over the past year, food costs across the country have increased in pretty much every category. Cookies, for example, now cost 16.3 percent more than they did a year ago, while cereal has spiked in price by 15.6 percent.
Dairy products are up 14 percent today compared to a year ago, while egg prices have jumped a whopping 70.1 percent, which the authorities are blaming on “bird flu.” Overall, food prices between December 2021 and December 2022 spiked by 10.4 percent, constituting a 40-year high for inflation.
All the while, the fake president continues to insist that inflation is going down under his rulership. And he is saying this at a time when Americans are now paying 8.1 percent more on their mortgages; 12.5 percent more for health insurance; 26.2 percent more for child care; 26.4 percent more to heat their homes; and 55.5 percent more to refuel their cars.
“Because of recent price increases, 62.0 percent of adults whose grocery costs increased a lot reported either reducing the amount of food they bought or not buying the kinds of foods they wanted, 43.3 percent withdrew money from savings, and 36.3 percent increased credit card debt,” the study reveals. “About 16.5 percent received charitable food.”
Since Biden was installed into the White House, nearly half of all American families say their financial position has worsened. This is the worst post-election outcome in 37 years, according to a February Sunday ABC News / Washington Post survey. Just 16 percent of American families say their financial health is “better off” under Biden than under previous regimes.
“Economic disruption, economic suppression, ever-tightening regulations and controls, and now forced conformity via starvation – have Americans had enough yet?” asked one commenter about this dismal news.
“Obama was ‘the food stamp president.’ Biden is the ‘destroy America president,’” wrote another. “Whenever Democrats steal the White House, EVERYONE suffers.”
To this, another person clarified that the Biden “presidency” is really just Barack Hussein Obama’s third term in very loose disguise.
“His people are back in the White House finishing the ‘we will fundamentally change America’ agenda,” said another. “Obama, Soros, and the Chinese are pulling Biden’s strings.”
“The left used to launch into diatribes over Reaganomics. Now the country is faced with Bidenomics and not a peep from the left,” said another about the hypocrisy of the political left.
“Groceries during the Trump era were about $80 to $100 per week. Under Biden, they now cost between $120 and $140 per week,” responded someone else.

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.
