For the first time in fifty years, Americans can celebrate “Sanctity of Life Sunday” in a nation that does not officially and forcibly authorize the slaughter of the unborn. Having repealed the detestable “Roe v. Wade” decision of 1973, by which an activist Supreme Court of that era had claimed abortion to be a “constitutional right” on every absurd premise, states now have the ability to protect the most innocent and helpless among them, if they have the decency and compassion to do so.
Of course this means America still has a long way to go. “Blue” states in particular, where leftist Democrat moral debasement predominates, remain able and willing to treat unborn babies with less regard than that afforded to stray cats. Worst of all, they ruthlessly commit the wholesale slaughter of those unborn babies under their standard phony banners of “kindness and virtue.”
So the battle must continue, if America is ever to return to being a society of benevolence and justice. This is no time to rest on our laurels or grow complacent. We are seeing some very encouraging signs of an awakening, not only among the good people of the Heartland, but now, even within the hallowed halls of Congress. The momentum is growing, but if it is continue, it is up to us to carry it forward.
Many bogus reasons were given for the lackluster results of Republican candidates in the 2022 mid-term elections. However, while an honest appraisal of the situation is critical to future successes, it does no good whatsoever to believe the “analysis and advice” of the ideological and political opposition, whether it comes directly from Democrats, or indirectly through their RINO lackeys. Assessing the motives of those offering guidance is crucial to knowing whether to accept it, or reject it on the basis that their real intention is to destroy Conservative momentum.
Simple as it may seem, this point is too often missed by “our side,” resulting in a political “strategy” that is futile at best, and self-destructive at worst. For starters, Republicans did not fail to perform better on the basis of being “too extreme” in their Conservative efforts. A historically unbroken pattern exists, whereby real Republicans win big, when they show the stark contrast between right and left ideology. Yet when they start to “moderate” in the face of contrived hysterics from leftist Democrats and their Fake News minions, the momentum of the right becomes diluted and Republicans face defeat.
So it is that both the 2016 victory for President Donald Trump, and no less, the 2023 ruckus over the Speakership in the first days of the new, Republican Congress, redound as major Conservative gains, but only if those who are truly on the right can grow a spine and learn to stay the course. Sadly, their ability to do so is by no means a guarantee.
Consider just a few of the tremendous achievements of the new Congress, now that the Freedom Caucus sufficiently held the feet of Kevin McCarthy to the fire, before agreeing to support his bid for Speaker of the House. Several bills are now going forward, that would have been brushed aside and ultimately buried, had Republicans done their usual, and simply endorsed McCarthy on the basis of his “seniority” (as if the House of Representatives should operate in the manner of a union shop).
Now, major “controversial” bills can be properly taken to the House floor for consideration, and Congressional committees can actually engage in the all important work of investigation and oversight. The insipid behavior and excuses of past “do nothing” Republican majorities in the House will no longer be accepted, now that major rules and decision making concessions were forced from McCarthy by those unflappable Freedom Caucus members.
Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado is introducing a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, which should have happened a long time ago. It is despicable that such a vile organization ever “legally” existed in America, but it is an absolute abomination that decent Americans have been forced to subsidize its genocidal activities with tax dollars. Does anyone really believe that Boebert’s effort would have received any support from the “leadership,” were it not for the resolute stance of the Freedom Caucus?
On several other fronts, the news is just as encouraging. Those eighty-seven thousand armed “IRS agents,” who in reality were slated to be Obama’s long wished for “civilian police force,” have now been defunded. And barring the overblown threat of a “government shutdown” to force Republican capitulation, they will not happen. Fourteen thousand hours of video of the January 6 2021 event at the U.S. Capitol are also going to see the light of day, owing to the unshakable tenacity of Florida Representative Matt Gaetz. Needless to say, if that video wasn’t ultimately a liability to the leftist Democrats who ramrodded the J6 witch-hunt, it would already have been made public.
Arizona Representative Paul Gosar is heading up an investigation into the treasonous collaboration of Join Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley with the Communist Chinese, during the Trump Administration. Milley’s behavior constituted nothing short of a coup against the President, and could well have presented an opportunity for a death blow to America, had the Chinese so decided. Milley’s criminal treachery has thus far been swept under the rug. Needless to say, it never would have been brought into proper public scrutiny under a Republican Congress of “business as usual.”
Given the stakes, and more importantly, the substantive gains that have clearly been made since the Freedom Caucus prevailed, it is wholly worthwhile to look back on that “harrowing” time during which McCarthy’s speakership was contested. From the reaction of so many, including some ostensibly “conservative” voices, one might think that our Nation was on the brink of disaster, and that Americans from coast to coast were in total panic over the impasse. In truth, from start to finish, the commotion lasted a total of only six days!
During that time however, the voices of the GOP “Establishment” made their malignant nature inescapably obvious. RINO Dan Crenshaw of Texas deemed the Freedom Caucus “terrorists.” And both Sean Hannity and Mark Levin (previously thought to be pro-America conservatives), condemned the actions of Gaetz and the other nineteen Freedom Caucus holdouts.
If Real America wants a Republican Party that represents them and will uphold their values, they should take heart, and ignore all the travailing of the GOP insiders. We do not lose credibility by demanding results from McCarthy. This is what a real fight for the future of the Country looks like!

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.
