(End of the American Dream)—Will “the Big One” soon hit the west coast? While most people are fixated on the political drama that is currently unfolding in Washington, very important events are happening elsewhere too. Within the past 7 days, California and Nevada have been hit by more than 900 earthquakes. And just within the past 24 hours, there have been four notable earthquakes in southern California. We are being told that these quakes are “raising fears of a serious seismic incident on the San Andreas fault”…
Another earthquake has hit California – the fourth in the space of just 24 hours.
The latest – a Magnitude 2.6 quake – hit 28 km SSW of Los Banos. It comes after a third earthquake rocked San Bernardino and the area was hit by two others, raising fears of a serious seismic incident on the San Andreas fault.
I have been one of the leading voices in warning about what will happen when the San Andreas fault finally “unzips” all at once.

Today, I asked Google AI about the potential danger the west coast is facing, and this is the answer that I received…
According to scientific research, while not guaranteed, the San Andreas Fault could potentially rupture all at once, causing a massive earthquake sometimes called “The Big One,” potentially reaching a magnitude 8.3 if the entire fault from the Mexico border to Northern California breaks simultaneously; however, this scenario is still under debate among scientists and depends on complex geological factors.
If the San Andreas Fault does “rupture all at once”, scientists have warned us that it could produce an earthquake that would be powerful enough to cause the ground on the western side of the San Andreas fault to suddenly drop several feet. Since most of southern California is just barely above sea level, that would allow water from the Pacific Ocean to come rushing in.
Of course the San Andreas Fault is not the only fault line that we need to be watching. In fact, the latest earthquake swarm in southern California occurred in an area that has a number of very dangerous fault lines running through it…
Though these quakes happened on the San Andreas fault line, San Bernadino is near a number of fault lines running through California that frequently cause earthquakes, including the Arrowhead fault, the Waterman Canyon fault, the San Jacinto fault, the Santa Ana fault, the Cleghorn fault, and the Tunnel Ridge fault.
And let’s not forget the Puente Hills thrust fault.
According to seismologist Lucy Jones, that is the most dangerous fault in the entire region…
The quake ruptured on a small section of a fault associated with the Puente Hills thrust fault system, which has long been cited as a major seismic hazard for Southern California because it runs through heavily populated areas and is capable of a huge quake.
“It’s a reminder that this is actually our most dangerous fault,” earthquake expert Lucy Jones said, surpassing the San Andreas.
The Puente Hills thrust fault is considered to be exceptionally dangerous because it sits directly under heavily populated residential neighborhoods in northeast Los Angeles.
If you live in southern California, it so important for you to understand that it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” strikes.
And as I have extensively documented, seismic activity along the west coast also has the potential to create a gigantic tsunami.
So many people have had dreams and visions of tsunamis hitting coastal cities in the United States. Here is a recent example from Perry Stone…
In this recent vision, Stone was in a U.S. coastal city attending a ministers’ conference with friends like Jentezen Franklin, Tony Scott and his wife, Pam. While walking across a bridge, Stone overheard a young girl say, “Daddy, did you hear about the big earthquake that happened?” Moments later, a massive tsunami appeared in the distance.
“I said, ‘Tony, oh my goodness, there’s a tsunami coming this way,’” Stone recounts. He describes how they clung to metal bars on the bridge as the wave crashed into the city, sweeping away buses and cars. The scene shifted to knee-deep water flooding the streets, with people in shock and disbelief.
Stone did not specifically see that this would take place in southern California.
But many others have been shown that the California coastline is in great danger.
I don’t understand why anyone would still want to live in the state anyway.
California has the highest state income tax rate in the entire nation, California has the highest state-level sales tax rate in the entire nation, and California also has the highest gasoline tax rate in the entire nation.
If you want to be taxed into oblivion, live in California.
Meanwhile, California is ranked 47th in number of hospitals per capita, it has the highest homeless population of any state in the country, crime is wildly out of control, and businesses are fleeing the state left and right.
One of the only things that is keeping the population of California relatively stable at this point is the tremendous influx of migrants that has been pouring into the state in recent years, but the state does not have the resources to take care of all of them.
Perhaps California would have some hope of turning things around if they had some solid leadership, but unfortunately the vast majority of the politicians in the state are pushing agendas that are so “anti-American” that it is absolutely frightening.
On top of everything else, there is the constant threat of wildfires, mudslides and earthquakes.
In fact, the fires that ripped through southern California during the month of January were collectively the costliest natural disaster in the entire history of the United States.
Before I end this article, there is one last thing that I wanted to mention today.
It is being reported that Costco and Trader Joe’s have started to ration the number of eggs that their customers can purchase…
An egg shortage triggered by avian flu has prompted several grocery stores, including Costco, and Trader Joe’s, to limit purchases.
Trader Joe’s, with about 600 stores across the U.S., has a one-dozen eggs per day limit.
“We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s,” a Trader Joe’s representative said Monday, CNN reported.
This is a story that I am going to be watching very closely.
I am convinced that pestilences will continue to be a major theme throughout the rest of 2025.
Of course I am also convinced that major natural disasters will continue to be a major theme throughout the rest of 2025.
We really are living in perilous times, and the months that are in front of us will be filled with lots and lots of surprises.

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
