Many prominent personalities have been urging the president to do this, so here are the top reasons why he should step up to the challenge.
You could argue that our “betters” in the anti-liberty left are trying to destroy the country, or perhaps they are completely incompetent. Even the totally incompetent would have occasional success, so we’re thinking it’s the former. Either way, we need to change back to leadership that works, and we need it as soon as possible.
Having the House of Representatives elect President Trump as speaker would go a long way toward this goal. So, this is our reverse order listing of the top reasons President Trump needs to step up to the challenge.
1. Four words: State of the Union
Picture this: while Biden and Harris are still in office and delivering their interminable State of the Union addresses, Donald J. Trump can be sitting behind them as the last visual word on their BS. It’s even money they would cancel these political snooze fests for the duration.
2. The entertainment value of driving the nation’s socialist media insane
We can already hear your response that they lost the plot years ago, and you would be correct. Let’s face it: Robert Ballard is going to need to develop a new submersible to get to the depths of insanity that they’ve reached in recent years.
Their echo chambers have their own echo chambers.
Watching them lose it every night, whining about the death of democracy (because they aren’t in control), will be well worth the price of admission.
3. It will save billions from not having to bail out the nation’s socialist media
This goes right along with the previous point. We all know that the Democrats’ propaganda organ is going to need a bailout. We can remember those bygone days when they at least tried to pretend to be objective.
The nation’s socialist media are so blatant these days that you can imagine a latter-day Joseph Goebbels operating behind the scenes.
The people have taken notice, and their ratings are lower than a putrid stain under a dustbin. So it won’t be long until they look to their partners in crime for a bailout — from the government. But having Trump to whine about 24/7 could keep them afloat.
4. It throws a spanner into the plans of the anti-liberty left
It’s a lot more fun to take the initiative than remain passive.
We can only guess what the liberticidal leftists have in store for us. President Trump as the new speaker of the House will throw those carefully laid plans into chaos, and when we’re talking about liberty-destroying leftists, that’s always a good thing.
5. It will energize the pro-freedom electorate
The pro-freedom right needs every advantage it can muster against the anti-liberty left. The key is selecting those tactics that would have a selective effect of energizing the freedom community while driving the other side to distraction. Can anyone think of a better way to do that than the prospect of President Donald J. Trump as speaker of the House?
6. He can preside over “President” Biden and “Vice President” Kamala’s impeachments
Wouldn’t this make it all worthwhile? Anti-liberty leftists love to play the impeachment game. Well then let’s bring it on. Reading all the charges alone will take a few weeks.
Biden and Kamala have truly committed high crimes, not just misdemeanors. We could start with deliberately opening the border to an illegal invasion.
U.S. Constitution Article IV Section 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion[.]
Then go on from there, including Kamala, since she’s supposed to be in charge of this disaster, and she can’t even be troubled to visit the area or directly address the problem.
7. We can have a real investigation of Jan. 6
Do you ever get the impression that this is the liberticidal left’s version of the movie Groundhog Day? Except leftists never want it to end, and they are going to keep it up until they can get socialism to actually work or the end of time, whichever comes first.
Well, there’s an old axiom in guerrilla warfare that the only defense from an ambush is to immediately attack it. Thus, we should take the bull (in more ways than one) by the horns and investigate this sordid tale. We know that there won’t be any revelations of anything new about the pro-freedom side. So now is the time to look into what the anti-liberty left was doing that day.
Not to mention releasing all the video footage they suspiciously keep holding back.
8. It will be worth it to change history
Let’s face it: we are in a cage match for liberty. We have nowhere else to go. Ronald Reagan said it best: “If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”
We need everyone to do his part, and if that means President Trump has to take a slight demotion for something that will only add to his ever-growing résumé, then that’s a small price to pay for saving humanity and saving the planet.
9. Michelle Obama is running for president in 2024
Please allow a slight digression to explain.
Anyone paying attention should realize that Biden’s first term is really Obama’s third — he’s just completing his heart’s desires from behind the scenes. The problem for them is that with “Brandon’s” rapid decline, it’s doubtful he’s going to make it to the end of his term, much less run again.
Michelle Obama is the ultimate stealth candidate, who would admittedly be formidable to President Trump.
There is also the threat of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running, among others. The point is that it would be far better to have Trump in power as speaker of the House and have a better contender positioned against them.
10. He can do something now to save the country
Look at where we are. Inflation is at a 40-year high, with the price of gas and diesel almost off the scale. The situation with food is so bad that even Biden has had to admit the truth. He’s opened the border to an illegal invasion and exacerbated the opioid crisis. He’s made a mockery of the rule of law. Our enemies have been emboldened around the world and are gearing up for nuclear war. We could easily add to the list by waiting five minutes for the next crisis to crop up.
Even his supporters can’t think of anything positive that he’s done, and that’s just after one year. Does anyone think we’ll get through 2 years, 6 months, and 18 days (but who’s counting) of this?

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.
