American leftists held another “No Kings” rally last weekend. Democrats and their ideological allies gathered in city parks and town squares to tell the rest of us how awful we are. They screamed obscenities and called us “fascists” and “Nazis.” They demanded President Trump’s removal from office. Some even brazenly wished for his death.
To non-leftists, these things are cringeworthy spectacles. The participants look loony and behave immaturely. They are not serious people. Their messages make no sense. How are they able to protest so vocally if they are living under the yoke of tyranny? How are they able to call for President Trump’s death if he is truly a malevolent king? Such riddles are never asked or answered. We are expected to treat their hurt feelings as reasonable justification for their demands to overthrow the government.
Democrats’ tantrums resemble nonsensical petitions listing infantile grievances, such as:
- Hillary really won!
- Russia, Russia, Russia!
- Don’t forget Epstein!
- Trump incited an “insurrection” on January 6!
- Biden should have imprisoned Trump!
- Kamala really won!
- The War in Ukraine is good; the War in Iran is bad!
- Trump is attacking the press!
- Trump is raising oil prices!
- Trump has lost his mind!
- Trump will never leave office!
- Trump must leave Venezuela and Cuba alone!
- Israel controls Trump!
- We’re all going to die from “climate change”!
- Trump wants to bring back slavery!
- Trump is committing “violence” against “trans” kids!
- Trump is intentionally dividing the country!
- “Undocumented” immigrants are Americans!
- The votes of “undocumented” voters must be counted!
This “writ of grievances” sounds as if it came from the addled minds of a bunch of nutters hopped up on amphetamines. Leftists want to overthrow the government but insist that Trump should be in prison for trying to “overthrow” the government. They think Biden was of sound mind but that Trump has lost his marbles. They ignore all of Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton and other Democrats, while insisting Trump did something nefarious. They call for “hate speech” and “misinformation” to be prosecuted as crimes, while denouncing Trump’s “attacks” on free speech.
They want Trump’s “monarchy” to impose “climate” regulations that would increase fuel costs, while condemning Trump for causing gas prices to rise. They accuse Trump of fomenting “division,” while organizing nationwide protests fomenting division. They insist that Trump’s speech represents “violence” but that their violence is protected “speech.” It’s all very crazy. If you are incapable of bending over and sticking your head up your own derrière, then you probably can’t make sense of anything they say.
One social media guru named Yogi beautifully lampooned the “No Kings” protests: “The modern left’s definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who’s voting in your elections? Jim crow.” Yogi then pointed out how ridiculous leftists are for ignoring all the aristocrats who have been ruling over them for decades:
“Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler’s entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king.”
Online and in the streets, leftists call for violence against anyone who disagrees with them. They bully young conservatives. They target Republicans at their places of business. They dox ICE agents. They vandalize churches. The corporate news media almost entirely ignore these threats to Americans. Democrat politicians are rarely asked whether they condone such intimidation and violence, but when they are asked, Democrat officeholders go out of their way to paint the aggressors as “victims” and the victims as “aggressors.” In this upside-down world, Democrats can commit all kinds of crimes and never be punished, while Republicans are prosecuted for made-up crimes.
This two-tiered “justice” in the United States is leading to disaster. It is no longer possible for the non-leftist half of the country to ignore the fact that leftists commit crimes with impunity, while abusing the court system to target conservatives. The Trump administration must find some way to hold accountable those who have caused the most harm, while restoring balance and impartiality to the “justice” system. So far, little has changed.
The Russia Collusion Hoax nearly took down a sitting president. Hillary Clinton and her campaign team fabricated a dossier to frame Donald Trump as a Russian agent. Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Comey, and so many other major players within the American Intelligence Community conspired to push rank disinformation upon the American people that would somehow justify the fact that the FBI and CIA were spying on the Trump campaign (and every other 2016 Republican primary candidate, for that matter). We endured unethical lawyer Andrew Weissmann’s two-plus-years investigation of President Trump, and the whole thing was a scam meant to cover up Deep State crimes.
The corporate news media played their role as propagandists by treating the fake scandal as the most important story in the world. To this day, the country is completely divided over the Russia Hoax. Democrats have been brainwashed to believe both that the Russian Federation got Trump elected and that Trump secretly works for Vladimir Putin. When close to half the country has been indoctrinated to believe such outrageous lies, someone important must go to jail! Instead no-one has been held accountable.
Similarly, non-leftists watched Democrats and their allies burn down cities during 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots. Leftists caused billions of dollars in property damage, and several dozen people were killed. Nevertheless, Kamala Harris and other prominent Democrats raised money to bail out anybody arrested. The corporate news media ignored all the violence and destruction and instead framed the country’s costliest riots as some glorious “victory” for civil rights.
Six months later, however, every American who showed up in D.C. to protest 2020’s election fraud was treated as a violent criminal. Establishment politicians and corporate news propagandists immediately framed the three-hour frolic through the Capitol as an “insurrection.” The FBI spent the next two years raiding the homes of Americans with no criminal records. Prosecutors and judges shamelessly conspired to depict the election protest as an organized attempt to “overthrow the government,” even though none of the protesters carried firearms. Nancy Pelosi convened a congressional show trial to drum up charges of “sedition” and “treason” against President Trump and his MAGA voters.
Only Trump voters were killed on January 6. A Capitol Police officer shot and killed unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt. Nevertheless, politicians (including installed “president” Joe Biden) and news propagandists continue to lie to the public by claiming that J6 protesters “murdered” police officers that day. Congress even put up a plaque honoring the same Capitol Police who felt the need to kill unarmed women.
Tina Peters sits in jail for fighting election fraud in Colorado. Social media platforms still censor conservative voices. A leftist assassinated Charlie Kirk. Other leftists have repeatedly tried to assassinate President Trump. And leftists continue to call us “fascists.”
Until leftist criminals who promote violence against the rest of us are held accountable, America will continue to descend into madness. Until prominent Democrats are prosecuted for serious crimes, two-tiered “justice” will remain. President Trump takes his constitutional oath seriously. It is the Democrat Party that is filled with lawless, bloodthirsty kings.
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.
