Editor’s Note: The author of this piece is not nearly skeptical enough of the origins or purpose of “Bird Flu” in America. It is very likely that this “crisis” is manufactured in one of two ways. Either the disease was produced and is being disseminated by the same nefarious folks behind the Plandemic, or H5N1 is a nothingburger being ballyhooed to attack our food supply. Either way, it’s important to remain sober and to begin the process of fighting back against their lies. With that said, here’s Michael’s take…
(End of the American Dream)—If we are seeing this much fear now, how bad will it be if H5N1 starts spreading from human to human on a widespread basis? Since the bird flu pandemic began in early 2022, over 148 million birds have been ordered to be euthanized in the United States alone. But killing all those birds didn’t stop the disease.
Today, the bird flu pandemic is worse than ever. In recent months, H5N1 has really been spreading among our cattle herds, and the Los Angeles Times has reported on the “piles of dead cattle” in California. Needless to say, that is very bad news for our food supply. On top of everything else, now cats are being put down after getting infected. According to Reuters, two house cats in the state of Oregon were just killed “after testing positive for bird flu”…
Two house cats in Oregon were euthanized after testing positive for bird flu linked to their consumption of pet food made from raw chicken, state agriculture officials said on Friday.
The virus has infected millions of poultry since the nation’s worst-ever outbreak began in 2022, along with thousands of dairy cattle and almost 70 people since April. The CDC has said the risk to the general public is low.
Both cats that tested positive ate the same brand of pet food, Wild Coast Raw, before becoming ill, Oregon’s agriculture department said. Testing confirmed the presence of bird flu in the cats and food samples, according to the department.
These cats could have potentially recovered.
Apparently a decision was made to euthanize them in order to help prevent the spread of the disease.
But if H5N1 mutates into a form that can spread easily among humans, there isn’t going to be much that we can do about it.
Earlier today, we learned that a woman in the state of Wyoming that has tested positive has had to be hospitalized…
A woman in Wyoming was hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu, according to health officials who say she was likely infected by handling sickened birds in a backyard flock.
According to a statement from Wyoming’s public health department, the woman is “an older adult” and has “other health conditions,” which may have made her more susceptible to the disease. She is being treated in another state.
This marks the first human case of bird flu in Wyoming and the 70th human case in the United States since 2024.
I don’t see any reason to panic at this stage. But once health authorities start telling us that person to person contact can spread H5N1, panic will spread like wildfire.
Meanwhile, chickens and turkeys continue to drop dead at a staggering rate, and it is being reported that some egg farmers feel “that the fight against the avian flu is unwinnable”…
Egg farmers are starting to worry that the fight against the avian flu is unwinnable.
Producers across the country are bleeding millions of dollars to invest in biosecurity efforts to rebuild their rapidly dying flocks — all while protecting humans from catching the deadly disease, according to a report.
“I call this virus a terrorist. And we are in a battle and losing, at the moment,” Greg Herbruck, the CEO of Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch in Michigan, told the San Antonio Express-News.
Earlier this month, I wrote about the new strain of H5N1 that is just ripping through flocks from coast to coast.
As a result, some major retailers are now rationing eggs, and the price of a dozen eggs has soared into the stratosphere…
While Americans have gotten used to sticker shock over the past couple of years under President Biden as prices for food, gas and other everyday items surged, many shoppers had to look twice when they bought a couple of eggs lately.
The average price for a dozen Grade A large eggs climbed to $4.95 last month according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, up from just $2.52 twelve months earlier.
According to the latest CPI report, overall egg prices rose by more than 50 percent over the past year.
Needless to say, this is not the only health scare that we are facing right now.
An outbreak of Ebola is causing a great deal of alarm in central Africa, and on Sunday some media sources were reporting that there were two potential cases of Ebola in New York City…
Two suspected Ebola patients were transported from a New York City urgent care facility to a hospital for treatment after they exhibited symptoms of the deadly and incurable disease.
The patients were transported from a City MD on East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue around 11:16 a.m. ET on Sunday, the New York City Fire Department told DailyMail.com.
Images showed first responders wearing face coverings and gloves as they moved the patients into ambulances on the rainy Upper East Side street.
Thankfully, it appears that this may have been a false alarm.
At this point, authorities are telling us that the two patients probably just have the flu. Hopefully that is true.
Switching gears, I wanted to mention the magnitude 5.0 earthquake that just hit the state of Texas…
A 5.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded in West Texas late Friday evening, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and could be felt by residents more than 150 miles away in El Paso.
The earthquake struck near the border of Culberson and Reeves counties at 11:23 p.m. CST with an epicenter about 33 miles northwest of Toyah, Texas. Three smaller aftershocks also occurred within minutes of the first quake. There have been no immediate reported deaths or injuries associated with the quakes. And economic losses are expected to be minimal.
It is being reported that this was the sixth most powerful earthquake in the entire recorded history of the state…
Friday’s earthquake is tied for the sixth strongest in Texas history, according to the website Earthquake Track. Texas has also experienced two magnitude 5.1 earthquakes in the past six months, both tying for the fifth strongest in state history.
On the west coast, yet another very alarming earthquake swarm hit southern California on Saturday…
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.5, the third above 3.0 in Southern California in the last several hours, struck the Inland Empire on Saturday afternoon.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck at 2:16 p.m. with an epicenter 11 miles south of Idyllwild, near Hemet.
The quake marked the third in the region on Saturday, after two hit the Malibu area in the early hours of Saturday. A 3.8 magnitude was recorded just before midnight while a 3.5 rattled the area at about 6:30 a.m.
We have seen several earthquake swarms strike the state of California so far this year, and this has prompted Newsweek to publish an article entitled “Could California Face ‘Big One’ Earthquake Soon?”…
Seismologists are closely monitoring California’s fault lines as concerns grow about the possibility that the “Big One” could happen soon.
The “Big One” refers to a massive earthquake that could occur along the San Andreas Fault, one of the state’s most significant and active fault lines. Scientists predict that this earthquake could reach a magnitude of 7.8 or higher, causing widespread destruction across Southern California or the San Francisco Bay Area depending on the rupture location.
To answer Newsweek’s question, the answer is yes.
California could definitely be hit by the “Big One” soon.
I have been warning people about this in my books and in my articles over and over again.
It is just a matter of time before an absolutely enormous earthquake permanently alters the geography of the California coastline.
When it finally happens, nobody will be able to say that they were not warned.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
