Every “second string” Republican presidential contender needs to be asked one question and no other, with only a “Yes or No” response accepted. They need to take an unambiguous stand on whether or not they believe the 2020 Election was stolen on Election Day and in the wee hours of the next morning. And Ramaswamy does not get to get “clever” and equivocate by saying that it was stolen through the suppression of information on Hunter, weeks prior to the Election.
Of course none of them will admit to the flagrant corrupt actions which we all saw, as polling places were “closed down,” Republican election judges forced out of the room, with only Democrats remaining to tabulate the unmonitored ballots, truckloads of “ballots” being dropped at crucial locations, counts simultaneously stopped in all six of the “swing states” (but no others) where President Trump was comfortably ahead, only to re-open with Biden ostensibly taking the lead by razor thin margins in all six. And the list of brazen indefensible corruption goes on!
So for these “Republicans” to deny the Election theft after all that, we can only assume that they are fine with elections being stolen, if doing so might work to their political advantage. They can no longer be counted on to fight for the Constitution and the Rule of Law, when it isn’t politically expedient to do so, or if they might face backlash on the nightly Fake News.
However, that’s only the beginning of the damage dealt to the Nation by their treachery and pragmatism. Given the circumstances of November 2020, consider what an actual Biden “win” would indicate. Even back then, Ol’ Joe could barely complete a sentence, and was obviously being fed “talking points” on a real time basis. On some occasions, he repeated instructions out loud, clearly unable to discern if he was supposed to speak them or obey them. His campaign rallies drew little or no audience, with participants obviously selected and paid to participate. Meanwhile Americans showed up by the tens of thousands to hear President Trump speak.
So if Biden had actually won, we would have to conclude that the Nation actually preferred his Obama “third term” leftist lurch into the morass of socialism and third world squalor to Donald Trump’s very successful programs of “Making America Great Again.” And this alternate “reality,” picked up by the RINO candidates would mean that they would be compelled to reverse course from the Trump agenda. Certainly they could not win with it. After all, according to their own assertions of an “honest” 2020 election, America had resoundingly turned its back on the MAGA movement, giving the decrepit Biden and his leftie puppet masters the needed mandate to turn our Nation in Cuba and Venezuela.
Of course for those second-string candidates to acknowledge that the Election was indeed stolen, they would by default be admitting that it is President Trump’s to reclaim, in order to rectify the criminality, corruption, and treason which we witnessed on November 3 and 4 of 2020. Apparently, these “Republicans” are more comfortable accepting that criminality, corruption, and treason, than they are taking the stand to actually confront and rectify it, for the sake of those crude, annoying peasants known as the “We the People.”
Thus the question needs to be asked “What are these RINOs, and so many others within the GOP ‘Establishment’ really up to?” And it is that disturbing answer which Americans need to muster the courage to face, and the resolve to correct. What we are seeing is the culmination of a long, protracted battle within the Republican Party for dominance; the two factions being the “Business as usual” crowd from inside the Beltway Swamp (Sewer), and the Conservative Grassroots.
For years, this confrontation has simmered, with RINOs regularly back-stabbing real conservatives and driving them to defeat. Then in a shameless political “sleight of hand,” these same RINOs suddenly revert to “Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment” (Thou shalt not criticize a fellow Republican), citing it totally out of context, to demand Conservatives join with them to get their favored “Establishment” candidates across the finish line. And for years, Conservatives have reluctantly played along.
In 2016, Donald Trump rode to victory and loudly proclaimed “No More!” Since that time, he’s been in the crosshairs of every major “Republican” player inside the Beltway with a yearning to get back to the perks and comfort of D.C. “Business as usual.” And that’s on top of the assaults he faced from the openly anti-American leftist Democrats.
To understand just how far the Republican “Establishment” has been willing to sink, consider that these 2024 presidential wannabes are perfectly fine with all the phony “indictments” and other leftist/Globalist efforts to keep President Trump off the ticket. Like vultures, they’re circling and waiting. And if the thoroughly corrupt and lawless “system” somehow succeeds at disqualifying him, meaning despotic third world political attacks are now the norm for America, these candidates will be thoroughly invigorated as they jockey for front-runner position.
This is the real explanation of the second phony “impeachment,” and the recent efforts by so called “Republicans” in Colorado to prevent President Trump from being on the ballot in that state. Every outward sign gives ample proof that President Trump not only won comfortably in 2020, but barring even more extensive cheating, can do so in 2024. Of course his attackers claim to be all about the ” rule of law and the Constitution,” yet are strangely silent regarding the rampant, treasonous lawlessness of Obama during his first two terms, as well as currently, as he pulls the strings of his sock puppet, Ol’ Joe.
As to the Constitution, never forget that these are the same people who, when its directives for America to be a Representative Republic become inconvenient to the leftist agenda, suddenly declare it to be a “living document,” and on that basis claim license to totally ignore it.
The outrages, lawlessness, and hypocrisy are mainstay in the current Federal Government, and will not fix themselves. The situation will only be made right from the outside. That is what is at stake in 2024.

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.
