In a clearly unintentional moment of “candor” from the 2004 John Kerry/John Edwards presidential campaign, Edwards attempted to create a divide between the “haves” and the “have nots” in society, with his infamous reference to the “Two Americas.” But quite apart from its intended tribute to socialism as the key to utopia, the term caught on. Since that time, America has clearly fractured to a degree not seen since the years immediately preceding the Civil War. And if that comparison sounds ominous, it should!
The incessant efforts of leftists/Globalists to concoct bogus “criminal” charges against President Trump are again coming to a head this week with more talk of the President’s imminent arrest and prosecution. The perpetrator in this case is Alvin Bragg, a hard left political player who operates under the guise of being a New York District attorney. His attack on the President has nothing to do with upholding the law, stopping subversive activity, or keeping streets safe for honest citizens. It is clearly politically motivated.
Worse still, the behavior of other “Republicans,” and in particular 2024 “Republican” presidential hopefuls, has been more reflective of sharks who sense blood in the water. Were they at all concerned with the acute danger that this situation poses to the Constitution and the rule of law, they’d be outraged and fighting against such an obvious threat to every free America who dares to dispute the thoroughly corrupt system.
Instead, responses have been tepid and measured, as if this is just one of the many playing fields of “politics as usual.” But such a fundamental threat to the very fabric of America holds the potential to put every citizen in jeopardy, not only in this generation, but every generation to follow, until such time as it is either expunged from our midst, or the Nation succumbs to it in a fall into despotism.
Everybody is ultimately on one side of this outrage, or another. Fence sitters prove themselves to be “useful idiots” of the ascendant tyranny, even if some of them call themselves “Republican.” Thus far, aside from President Trump, only Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has mustered the principle and spine to say what needs to be said. Sadly, he’s nearly a lone voice in properly characterizing this abhorrent situation, calling for Bragg to himself be prosecuted and jailed for such flagrant abuse. The rest of the “Republican” field is exhibiting all the inspiration, patriotism, and leadership of Jeb Bush.
Efforts to relegate this latest villainy to “politics as usual” are indefensible. It reeks of the most debased of third world tinhorn dictatorships and the darkest days of Soviet despotism. Rather than reflecting the ideals of freedom and equal justice for all, as espoused by the Founders, the actions of Bragg, and the absence of righteous outrage over them, bode of Stalin’s long standing chief of secret police Lavrentiy Beria. “Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.” was his infamous quote. And the fact that such thinking has wormed its way anywhere into American jurisprudence, even down in the leftist cesspool of New York, is a very bad omen of where this Nation is heading.
Not surprisingly, the leftist Democrats and their RINO lackeys happily join in this insidious game, with Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger and several others of their class on the same fetid page. Grandstanding as if they are on some sacred “moral high ground,” they exuberantly condemn President Trump for a total non-crime. Quibbling over campaign spending on that scale is so far beyond hypocritical, coming as it does from the D.C. Swamp, where literal trillions are selectively expended to buy votes and “loyalty” from constituents.
And if we’re going to talk about the suppression of politically damaging information during a campaign season (the supposed premise of Bragg’s attack), absolutely nothing can compare to the most hideous of all such events, the abandonment of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the staff of the American Consulate in Benghazi, in the fall of 2012. Neither Obama, nor Hillary, nor Susan Rice and all of their transparent efforts at a cover-up were ever brought to the justice they deserved. Furthermore, the expense for that fiasco was paid not only in human blood, but with the total devastation of America’s standing on the international stage. But that’s “old news.” Just ask the hypocrites on the left, both on Capitol Hill and in the Fake News media, who insist we obsess over a bogus charge from a fading porn star.
Still, it is crucially important to recognize that this situation is not a game. This is no time for political angling and jockeying. Anyone who can’t recognize it for the grave threat to America that it is, proves himself to be wholly unfit to lead.
Make no mistake about it. The weaponization and perversion of so-called “justice,” into something that can be wielded against a prominent political enemy, and hence against the entire populace, with intent to dominate and control it, is the most heinous of crimes ever to be committed against the American people. Such is the end game of every foreign aggressor, who would sink our ships, fire on our troops, or lob bombs into our cities to achieve uncontested power over us.
In the same sense that leftists were allowed to violently rampage throughout 2020 under the guise of “mostly peaceful” protests, committing brutal assaults, arson, looting, and even murder with no repercussions, they were then fully able to redefine January 6 of 2021 on their own fraudulent terms. Now too many of us live in fear that if we don’t step lightly enough for them to give us permission to oppose their crimes, they’ll declare our opposition to be “sedition,” and impose harsh penalties on us. In essence, we believe our civic duty to be surrender, so they don’t accuse us of engaging them in a fight for America.
Americans had better wake up to the gravity of the situation in which we now find ourselves. This is not some mere horse-race or pro-sports event where one can afford to simply pick a favorite player, rooting for him and booing the opposing team. This is a pivotal battle for the very future of the Nation, and will define it, one way or another, as the place where we raise our children and our grandchildren. A faint-hearted response at this crucial juncture could irreparably lose it all.

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.
“This is a pivotal battle for the very future of the Nation, and will define it, one way or another, as the place where we raise our children and our grandchildren. A faint-hearted response at this crucial juncture could irreparably lose it all.”
All governments control the population by first removing their ability to fight back. January 6 was such a move by placing fear in the normally peaceful protestors and persecuting those who have the ability to fight back (Oath Keepers/Proud Boys). Constant media denigration of patriots as “insurrectionists” have turned the hearts and minds of the sheep against their protectors. Brain washed police and military will be used to quash any form of resistance. The question remains, Are there any groups capable of defeating the tyrants? Just because the citizens have guns does not mean they will use them and like Swalwell said, the government has fighter jets.
