(WND)—A prominent voice for women’s economic issues is suggesting that Michelle Obama will be the Democrat nominee for the fall’s election, not the mentally fading and increasingly unpopular Joe Biden.
Heather R. Higgins, CEO of Independent Womens’ Voice, has written at Real Clear Wire that, “Even Jill will face reality and … opt for the switcheroo.”
Biden’s popularity has been underwater for years. He’s viewed as the reason for the 17% inflation Americans have paid since he took office. And he’s blamed for the wide-open southern border through which he’s allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter. He’s blamed for massive spending on green climate ideology. His major accomplishments have been to promote transgenderism and abortion for all everywhere.
Then there’s the recent special counsel report investigating his willful decision to take and keep classified government documents. Robert Hur recommended against charging Biden, because of his declining mental capabilities.
The question then arises, according to Higgins, “What’s a Democrat to do?”
The problem is obvious: “President Biden’s poll numbers seem set in quicksand. Now the special counsel’s justification for not recommending charges against Biden for having ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials’ is damning: Biden’s memory has such ‘significant limitations’ that the special counsel believed he could not convince a jury that Biden has a ‘mental state of willfulness’ that a serious felony (or, presumably, serving as president) requires.”
Higgins, however, notes the DNC rules likely will save the day for the party, assuming there are enough “sticks and carrots” to push Biden out of the way.
They’ve already done it. “Remember the New Jersey ‘Switcheroo’ way back in 2002, when Democrats turned a sure loss of a Senate seat into a win by swapping out their losing candidate at the last minute, overriding a state law that said it was too late in the cycle for such a switch?”
She explained Biden is just “a placeholder” being used to suppress possible competition to “a much better bet,” Michelle O.
Of course Obama has said she doesn’t want the job, but the column points that was before Biden redefined the position as “a four-day workweek, consisting of one social obligation per day, and everything else delegated.”
And she warned people could go for it. After all, they went for Barack Obama twice.
“The switch could be done at the convention – but that requires 300 delegate signatures, and would open the door to a lot of politicking over several weeks by other potential candidates,” she noted. “But should Biden be incentivized to suddenly declare a new health issue that leads him to announce a week or two after the convention that he will continue his term but will not be running, suddenly we have one of those crises that should not be wasted.”
“DNC rules that apply are actually rather simple. Article Three, Section 1(c) of the Charter & Bylaws of the Democratic Party says ‘The Democratic National Committee shall have general responsibility for the affairs of the Democratic Party between National Conventions … This responsibility shall include filling vacancies in the nominations for the office of President and Vice President.’”
And why an Obama?
“It would make no sense for Biden to remove himself from the ticket in order to simply elevate Vice President Kamala Harris. The point of the whole exercise is to win. Michelle Obama is the only potential candidate who could safely replace a black woman on the Democrat ticket without causing a major political disruption inside a core Democrat voter group.”
Further, “And just recently an entire special edition of Life magazine about the inspiring Michelle Obama parked itself for $14.99 at your nearest supermarket checkout line. The cover may say ‘The Post-White House Phenomenon,’ but everything post-White House is confined to five paragraphs in the first introductory pages – while the rest of the 112 glossy pages are one-third backstory and two-thirds Michelle in the White House, looking presidential.”
She noted in London, betting on American politics is legal, and more bets have been placed recently on Obama moving into the White House than Biden staying there.

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.
No way that will happen. Jill isn’t leaving the white house of her own free will.
Michael Obama will never run for office, she hates this country, but loves the benefits it gives her.
Nobody is going to vote for a tranny
What don’t you like about Big Mike?
They will in SFO.
BIKE MIKE CAN’T EVEN IDENTIFY WATER,AND IF SHE COULD IT WOULD BE RACIST BIGOTED H2O………….
Michelle looks man-ish.
Michelle is not a tranny; he may just “identify and present.”
BIG MIKE…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….BIG MIKE………HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…..BIG MIKE……..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey all you fools. Michelle ain’t interested.
Well I like Trannies and buttocks that are 6 axe-handles wide. Big Mike is just trying to start a new trend. (sarcasm to the extreme.)
Let’s send congress and the federal agency employees to the Russian front in Ukraine. They don’t seem to have any issues sending our kids to very profitable wars they start.
