(End of the American Dream)—The Lindsay Clancy murder trial has become a culture war phenomenon. It has been one of the hottest topics on social media for weeks, and now everyone is waiting for the verdict. Even though there are so many things of extraordinary importance that are happening in our world right now, much of the population is absolutely fixated on this case. This is particularly true for one particular demographic.
Large numbers of liberal women have become obsessed with Lindsay Clancy, and they have been following this trial with a passion. If Lindsay Clancy is ultimately found guilty, those women will go completely and totally nuts.
After a third day of deliberations, a lot of us were shocked when the jury was still unable to come to a verdict and was dismissed until Tuesday morning…
The jury weighing Lindsay Clancy’s fate asked to go home for the evening and has been dismissed until Tuesday morning, ending another day of deliberations without a verdict.
The panel of nine women and three men, led by a female foreperson, must decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children, or whether, as the defense argues, she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law. Prosecutors contend she knew right from wrong and acted deliberately.
Jurors may find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter, acquit her, or find her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
I think that it is pretty obvious that the jury is deadlocked.
On Monday, two of the female jurors were wearing pink.
Of course wearing pink has become a way for liberal women all over the country to demonstrate that they support Lindsay Clancy.
So that is really bad news for the prosecution.
The stakes are incredibly high, because if Clancy is found guilty she will go to prison for a very long time, but if she is found not criminally responsible she will continue to remain at Tewksbury State Hospital…
If Clancy is convicted of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or manslaughter, she will go to prison.
If the jury finds she is not criminally responsible, Clancy will be required to continue her stay at Tewksbury State Hospital, where her case will be reviewed periodically.
Everyone agrees that she killed her three kids.
The question is whether she understood what she was doing or not.
To me, the answer is obvious.
Prior to the murders, Lindsay Clancy conducted numerous web searches that clearly indicated what was on her mind…
Yeah, she definitely planned this in advance.
And when the day arrived, Lindsay Clancy “took each child to the basement and strangled them individually”…
The prosecutors called forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who said Clancy took each child to the basement and strangled them individually. Clancy told doctors she felt like a puppet while she did it. Saathoff had an answer for that: “Children are not puppets.”
“You know, just like adults, children have a will to survive – a strong, strong will to survive. I think it’s just part of being human,” Saathoff said. “I mean, they … are active. They can walk. They can run.”
We are talking about evil on an unspeakable level.
She knew that her husband would try to stop her, and so she sent him out to run some errands…
I have no idea how anyone could possibly want to defend someone like that.
Sadly, we live at a time when murderers can become cultural heroes to those on the left.
Over the past several weeks, there have been countless videos circulating on social media where women have been sharing slogans such as “I am Lindsay Clancy” and “Same, Lindsay”…
On TikTok and Instagram, hundreds, if not thousands, of women are empathizing with or rallying around Clancy: from making statements like “I am Lindsay Clancy,” to posting videos of them holding their own children saying, “Same, Lindsay,” to show that they, too, commiserate, presumably, with the desire to kill their children.
We are not just talking about a handful of women on the fringes of society.
This has been happening in large numbers.
When a woman shares the slogan “Same, Lindsay” on social media, that suggests that she has thought about doing the same thing that Lindsay Clancy did…
Throughout the trial, huge crowds of Lindsay Clancy fans showed up to support her every day.
And over 31,000 liberal women have actually given money to a support fund for Lindsay Clancy. To date, that fund has now raised more than a million dollars…
Viral videos show large crowds of women rallying for Lindsay Clancy, with more than 31,000 now contributing more than $1 million to support a woman who methodically researched, planned, and then murdered her three children.
Making Lindsay Clancy into some sort of a folk hero doesn’t make any sense at all.
But somehow it happened.
And it is inevitable that there will be copycats.
In fact, during the trial a 22-year-old mother in North Dakota took a knife and cut the throats of her three children…
A 22-year-old Mandan, North Dakota mother is behind bars after police say she used a kitchen knife to cut the throats of her three young children on August 6. Two are dead. One survived. She told their father to “say goodbye to your kids” on video while holding a pistol at her hip.
Kailey Renae Erhart, 22, faces two counts of murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, terrorizing, and domestic violence. Bond was set at $3 million cash. A judge cited the “extreme violence” and threat to the community, according to Law and Crime.
Her five-month-old and three-year-old children died from their injuries. Her one-year-old son survived after undergoing extensive surgery and is expected to make a full physical recovery.
I think that we are in far more trouble as a society than most people realize.
If Lindsay Clancy is found guilty, liberal women all over America will have an epic meltdown.
But I don’t think that is going to happen, because it appears that at least a couple of Lindsay Clancy supporters are on the jury.
Sadly, it appears that there are supporters of Lindsay Clancy virtually everywhere.
And that is one of the most alarming things about this case.
It is easy to lock up a single lunatic, but what can we do when there are vast hordes of them running around all over the place?

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.
