The ability of the Democrat Machine to rewrite its code at a moment’s notice is terrifying. What it supported yesterday, it will denounce tomorrow when politically expedient. Right now we’re seeing a perfect example in the way prominent Democrats are reacting to federal agents enforcing immigration law.
On January 6, congressional Democrats choreographed an almost religious ritual (including a candlelit ceremony) during which they framed the D.C. protest of election fraud five years ago as an “insurrection” that resulted in the “murder” of police officers (reminder: only Trump supporters were killed in or near the Capitol on January 6, 2021). On January 7, those same Democrats called an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent a “murderer” for defending his life from a deranged attacker using an automobile as a lethal weapon. On the 6th, Democrats proclaimed themselves the “guardians” of law enforcement officers everywhere and accused Trump supporters of being “terrorists.” On the 7th, Democrats proclaimed law enforcement officers “terrorists” and defended a domestic terrorist as a “guardian” of “undocumented” (read: illegal) immigrants.
Politicians aren’t known for faithfully adhering to guiding principles, but Democrats change principles quickly enough to give an average observer political whiplash.
On January 7, Nancy Pelosi wrote, “The killing of an unarmed woman by a masked federal agent in Minneapolis is a moral outrage and a betrayal of American values. There has been no justification offered — only deception and deflection from those in charge. Accountability for this killing is not optional.” This is the same Nancy Pelosi who has spent the last five years defending U.S. Capitol Police Captain Michael Byrd after he shot and killed unarmed J6 protester Ashli Babbitt without any prior warning. If pictures from the time are accurate, Byrd was even wearing a COVID mask when he took Air Force veteran Babbitt’s life.
The juxtaposition of the two incidents is jarring. Pelosi has spent the last five years applauding Byrd as a hero, condemning unarmed Babbitt as an “insurrectionist,” and claiming that Trump supporters hate police. Now she condemns a federal agent’s heroic actions as an “outrage,” defends a woman armed with a vehicle as being “unarmed,” and accuses federal law enforcement of “betrayal,” “deception,” and “deflection.” In both cases the federal agent wore a mask, but Pelosi makes the ICE agent’s use of a mask sound nefarious.
Russia collusion hoaxer Adam Schiff similarly suffers from Pelosi’s cognitive dissonance. He never misses an opportunity to accuse President Trump of having “attacked” the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He always calls the Americans who protested electoral fraud that day “insurrectionists” and “murderers.” Yet when news of a woman using her vehicle to threaten the life of a federal agent came out of Minnesota, Schiff immediately pushed the lie that she was just an everyday mom and protester who was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
A lot of Americans who calmly walked through the Capitol on January 6, 2021, surely felt the same way — that they had been “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” But Schiff never gave them the benefit of the doubt. He spent the last five years ludicrously calling grandparents and veterans “terrorists” who deserved to suffer years in prison for trying to “overthrow” the government.
Then there is former Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone, who repeatedly testified through tears that he barely survived the “attack” on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Fanone became the Democrats’ favorite puppet. He would put on his uniform for important interviews and tell the world that President Trump’s MAGA voters tried to kill him and his law enforcement friends. Surely someone who has spent so much time on television defending the sacred honor of police officers from the wretched forces of out-of-control Americans would come to the defense of ICE agents under mob attack in Minneapolis, right? Wrong.
In defending mob attacks on law enforcement officers, Fanone argues, “This is not the first time we have seen ICE and CBP abuse their power. It’s probably the millionth f**king time we’ve seen this happen….It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what is clearly becoming an unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans.” So the guy who made a career out of crying about unarmed MAGA grandparents threatening his life by strolling through the Capitol now wants mobs of Americans to arm up and militarily confront federal agents? I guess he doesn’t actually care about blue lives after all.
Rank hypocrisy never seems to flummox Democrats. The January 6, 2021, Capitol protest against election fraud lasted about three hours. Most participants peacefully demonstrated their opposition to the 2020 election’s certification. Most of those who walked into the Capitol were so orderly that they remained behind the velvet ropes set up for tourists. Despite media and congressional lies, no law enforcement officers were killed. Instead, four unarmed Trump supporters lost their lives — including one female veteran shot and another female beaten and trampled.
Afterwards, Congress dedicated two years to a clown tribunal that attempted to falsely portray the events of January 6, 2021, as a deadly “insurrection” and attempt to “overthrow the federal government.” To this day, corporate news media portray the event as something on par with the attack on Pearl Harbor or even the Civil War. Democrat lawmakers and media personalities make these claims with straight faces, even though none of the J6 Capitol protesters were even armed. They now conduct a somber daylong “religious” gathering on January 6 to “reflect” upon the “tragedy” of the three-hour “insurrection.”
Yet this year, everyone who was busy crying fake tears and putting on a theatrical performance of ritualistic mourning on January 6 suddenly started screaming obscenities at federal agents and demonizing heroic law enforcement officers as “murderers” on January 7. It’s just crazy, irrational behavior. But “crazy and irrational” is very on-brand for Democrats this century.
This is the same political party that burned down cities across the country during the summer of 2020 and caused more property damage than any man-made disaster in American history. Democrats euphemistically call that the “summer of love.” This is the same political party that encourages supporters to “take to the streets” and “get in the faces” of political foes and then feigns surprise when assassins target President Trump and Charlie Kirk. This is the same political party that encourages states to ignore federal immigration laws and then accuses federal law enforcement officers of “terrorism.” Democrat officials have done everything they can to foment rebellion and destroy the Union.
The Democrat Party clearly wants another “George Floyd” spark to set off riots across the nation. Minnesota’s governor says his state is “at war” with the federal government, and Minneapolis’s mayor seems desperate for riots in the streets. Leftists are already publicly threatening the lives of ICE agents. One shamelessly told a news outlet, “The time for peace is over!” and, “It’s time for the bullet box!” In New York City, leftists are walking the streets while chanting, “Kristi Noem will hang,” and, “Save a life, kill ICE.” Just as in 2020, Democrats appear eager to pour gasoline on American cities, strike the match of civil unrest, and watch everything burn.
When it happens, the same Democrat lawmakers and corporate news mouthpieces that have spent five years demonizing election integrity protesters who gathered together for three hours on January 6, 2021, will suddenly applaud leftist arsonists, looters, and murderers as “civil rights heroes” and “American patriots.” Democrats will defend violence and mayhem and memorialize criminals as “victims.” They will hold candlelight vigils for domestic terrorists and condemn police officers as “villains.” And nobody in the news media will call out their despicable hypocrisy. Because this is what Democrats do.
Bypass Big Tech Censors
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.
