GOP House Whip Tom Emmer has been designated by his conference as their Speaker of the House. For those who are unfamiliar with Emmer, he is an anti-Trump, UniParty Swamp RINO who makes Kevin McCarthy look like a constitutional conservative.
There have been many theories floated about why he’s so popular among House Republicans. Let’s look at those theories, then I’ll explain the real reason he’s being thrusted upon America to become second in line for the presidency.
Many believe this is just another attack by the McCarthy-lovers to punish Congressman Matt Gaetz. It’s as if they’re saying, “If you thought you didn’t like McCarthy, just wait until we give the gavel to a raging RINO.”
Others think this is the moderate wing of the party thumbing their nose at Donald Trump. Emmer has been a quiet Never-Trump from the start, accepting benefits from the President when it behooved him but secretly working behind the scenes to subvert him and his agenda. Like most Never-Trumpers in Congress who are too cowardly to voice their opinions, Emmer’s real feelings are only shared to those he trusts. With that said, I have confirmed with two of his “allies” that he hates Trump and always has. Trump also knows this which is why has opposed Emmer multiple times.
One popular theory that’s floating around is the idea that Emmer will help turn back on the money-laundering scheme known as Ukrainian “aid.” Proponents of this theory claim Ukraine is what sunk Jim Jordan’s chances. This is at least partially true, but not the biggest reason.
Some are saying Emmer will open the door to abolishing the Electoral College and deciding the presidential race by popular vote. While it’s true that Emmer has supported this, I find it hard to believe that this is the reason for his ascension.
While any of these reasons may play a role in some of the individual votes by GOP members, the biggest reason he is being promoted despite being wildly unpopular among GOP voters is that Emmer is compromised. The puppet masters over the UniParty Swamp, whether you want to call them the Principalities and Powers or the Multipolar World Order, will only allow someone who is compromised and under their control to be Speaker of the House.
To be clear, EVERY member of Congress is compromised to some extent. Some are only partially compromised and are not necessarily being controlled by the powers-that-be. Many if not most are completely compromised to the point that they can act and say decent things most of the time but when the call comes in for them to vote in this direction or promote an idea in a different direction, they obediently comply.
Those they cannot compromise, they eliminate. Ask Madison Cawthorn.
McCarthy is compromised on multiple levels. Steve Scalise, the initial offering by the GOP to replace McCarthy, is fully compromised as well. Jim Jordan, the 2nd most popular Republican in America right now, clearly wasn’t compromised enough or he would be Speaker today.
Emmer, unfortunately, may be the most compromised Republican in the House. He’s not as compromised as Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham in the Senate, but in the lower chamber his is a pure lapdog for the globalist elite cabal.
I’m sure there will be those who think I’m crazy or simply wrong, but I’m neither. Okay, I might be a LITTLE crazy sometimes but I have enough information about DC to know that Emmer is a full-blown puppet who will do whatever his handlers tell him to do. This is an absolute disaster if it’s not stopped. Let’s pray there’s enough integrity among a handful of House Republicans to prevent this travesty.
Sound off about Tom Emmer on my Substack.
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.
The war profiteers in DC swamp see trillion going unaccounted for to foreign wars for the taking.
McCarthy is essentially — or was in his capacity as the Speaker — an agent for the CCP, as he received funding from Sequoia Capital, which is too closely connected to the CCP through their China office man who is an advisor to the CCP! Sequoia Capital, for those who may not know or remember, was the oroiinal founder/backer of Sequoia Voting Systems, which morphed into Dominion Voting Systems, which received MAJOR investments from the former Carlyle Group guys at Street Capital — investigations into connections to CCP funding to congress HALTED under McCarthy’s speakership, now they may resume!
While I try to avoid all this political theater crapola, we have reached a critical mass point with CCP subversion and congressional/governmental collusion — differentiating between globalist/WEF connections and CCP connections is supremely difficult as they too often tend to merge together — Emmers appears to have been a Soros’ man in the past, probably is still one — a total sellout never to be trusted! McCarthy is another known sellout, never to be trusted — neither are lightweight threats but MAJOR threats to positive change in America!
Whether it was Bush family member, Judge John Walker, Jr. and his countless profitable trips and seminars across China (James Comey interned with him), or various members of SCOTUS who took part–time gigs/junkets to Peking University, the potential foreign subversion runs deep — note Beijing’s man in LA, Newsom, over there now yucking it up with the Chicoms! Stuff is serious, and the Pentagon acts impotent in response, but given Milley and other pro–CCP types, perhaps that is part of the plan!
