Americans with any intellectual honesty or sense of decency are appalled at the circus currently occurring under the guise of “investigating” the January 6, 2021 episode at the U.S. Capitol. On the one hand, it is a clear effort to grandstand and put the leftist Democrats on their phony “moral high ground.” Yet in another sense, it reflects a widespread pattern of extremely toxic behavior in the Federal Government; one that Americans must recognize as an imminent threat to their freedoms, and to the future of the Nation.
As standard procedure in the sham “hearing,” professions of total deference to the leftist Orthodoxy are becoming obligatory. The pattern of conduct among Democrats, and those who have sold out to them, is textbook for aspiring tyrannies, in which a government illegitimately in power with no “Consent of the Governed” seeks to maintain a facade of standing and invincibility through sheer force and intimidation. Clearly, that is where the Democrats of 2022 find themselves. And their fanatical efforts in this regard can only be expected to intensify.
The electoral patterns of recent weeks have been unwaveringly in favor of the American people, which makes them loathsome to Democrats. The tide has turned even in longstanding Democrat strongholds, such as Texas Congressional District 34, which hasn’t voted anything but Democrat in over one hundred and fifty years, and is heavily Hispanic. As of the June 14 special election, it is now represented by Republican Mayra Flores, a Patriotic and Conservative American of Mexican descent. If this pattern continues, you can expect the DNC to suddenly support construction of the biggest border fence since the Great Wall of China.
All across our land, people are awakening to the sheer emptiness of Democrat promises of leftist “bliss,” as this once thriving Nation is increasingly ravaged by shortages, escalating crime, rampant inflation, perverse attacks on children in government schools, and every other plague of the socialist counterculture. This was clearly not how the majority voted in the stolen presidential election of 2020, and everyone knows it.
So what is the leftist Democrat response? In an abominable, yet thoroughly predictable manner, Democrats are locking down, with every intent on forcing the Nation not only to submit to their twisted and dangerous ideology, but to fully endorse and embrace it under threat of retribution. That is the real message of the January 6 committee. Not surprisingly, along with the standard cavalcade of shameless leftist liars such as the puerile and contemptible Adam Schiff (D-CA), they have garnered a sufficient number of RINO cowards and traitors to apply that coveted stamp of “bipartisanship” to the charade.
Perhaps their biggest quarry was former Trump Attorney General William Barr. Having given the impression early on of being a dogged advocate of truth and justice, Barr suddenly flipped in a manner disturbingly similar to Chief “Justice” John Roberts, back when he betrayed the Constitution by upholding Obamacare. Roberts has been a reliable leftist pawn ever since. Barr absurdly claims that no evidence of electoral fraud in 2020 exists, as if he has the force of personality or standing to drive out of existence the massive, unspeakable criminality of that event, which was widely witnessed and condemned by Americans across the land. Instead, Barr has only ensured that his place in history will be among the footnotes of defilers of the truth, and traitors to the Constitution.
As it drags on, the January 6 “hearing” is falling completely flat with America. Inane claims of the event in question as an attempted “insurrection” by Donald Trump no longer resonate, and outside of leftist circles they never really did. In stark contrast, the Nation increasingly suffers the dire repercussions of the real coup, perpetrated by the Biden Cabal, consummated by the Democrats on January 6, and abetted by a Fake News media that is embarrassingly fawning and compliant.
So in the standard manner of any aspiring dictatorship, Democrats double down on their efforts to eradicate opposition. They have descended from the absurd and profane to the illegal, yet they continue. As the talk on “Main Street” across the land grows ever more derisive and hostile to the ugly reality of their agenda, and voting patterns tilt so severely that even with all of the horrendous cheating and fraud, Democrat run “elections” cannot be sufficiently swayed in their favor, they are becoming even more panicked.
To nobody’s great surprise, the Biden Cabal is attempting to establish yet another “Ministry of Propaganda,” in hopes of tamping down the truth. Despite the rapid collapse of their last attempt under the abrasive and condescending Nina Jankowicz in April and May, they apparently think they can make it all work this time under the headship of the even more abrasive and condescending Kamala Harris! Yes, the leftist Democrats really are that delusional.
They hope for better results from their “upgraded” effort this time because they intend to play the race/gender cards, including the now obligatory fawning to the gender-dysfunction community. Any truths from Real America that this crowd finds distasteful will now be officially deemed “abuse.” By focusing attention on such esteemed icons of “victimhood,” the expectation is that potential critics will be reluctant to go after the effort with the same intensity that Jankowicz received. On her watch, the organization attempted to declare opposition to the Biden Cabal and talk of the stolen 2020 election “terrorism.” That didn’t fly. But maybe they’ll now get away with just calling it a “mental disorder, “bullying,” or some other predictable pejorative.
This is the nearly unbroken pattern that civilization has faced throughout all of human history. The self-serving power monger inevitably reverts to lies, intimidation, and eventual brutality in order to maintain a pretense of control. But in stark contrast to its seeming impenetrable dominance, such behavior reflects grave vulnerability. A government built entirely on darkness lives in the constant terror of being unmasked by light. And that’s why the best response from Americans to this governing malignancy is to diligently and resolutely expose its smug arrogance by speaking truth.

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.
