As June comes to an end, so does the pagan festival of debauchery known as “Pride Month.” It has become an annual annoyance to find troupes of dancing gay men — usually semi-naked and engaging in various forms of erotic foreplay — overtaking public streets as the first warm days of summer return. It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” to those without a special letter designation — could enjoy their civil rights without resorting to X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers. Alas, the celebration of sin seems to be “Pride Month’s” chief purpose, which surely explains why its proponents chose one of the deadliest sins — pride — as its defining attribute.
Young people — who spend the first two decades of their lives in indoctrination mills posing as schools — often find it difficult to understand why people over the age of thirty recoil at the sight of lurid circuses of sexual deviancy. They were taught at an early age that fat, hairy men wearing lipstick and little else are civil rights heroes for flaunting their masturbatory excess in front of anyone who has the bad luck of stumbling upon one of their street shows while walking to nearby places of business.
Democrat-controlled teachers’ unions believe it’s “virtuous” to have drag queens dressed as strippers twerking in front of kindergartners during “story time.” Democrat-controlled medical associations think it’s “scientific” to “trans” elementary school children by mutilating their bodies and sterilizing them for life. When all of the adults in positions of authority tell kids that this craziness is not only normal, but also something worth celebrating, young minds struggle to break free from their programming.
Sexual overindulgence and exploitation have defined the last thirty years. We’ve gone from the occasional gay kiss on prime-time television to full-blown gay orgies when viewers are least expecting it. At the beginning of the century, proponents of so-called “gay marriage” told us that “love is love” and that gay people just wanted to enjoy the same rights as married couples. Now the Alphabet Mafia harasses anyone with a differing viewpoint and works to get Christians fired from their jobs. For years, gay rights advocates beseeched heterosexuals to show compassion for those who might be different. Yet as soon as those advocates seized the heights of cultural and political power, they showed no compassion at all.
If you defend the millennia-old tradition of marriage as between one man and one woman, you are denounced as a “bigot.” If you insist that no child is born in the wrong body, you are accused of “committing violence” against “trans” people. If you refuse to carry the “rainbow flag” or embrace gay idolatry as a religion, you are excommunicated from professions and institutions whose putative missions have nothing to do with “gay rights.”
In Democrat-controlled cities around the country, mass riots in support of criminal illegal aliens routinely desecrate and burn the American flag. This seems a terribly counterproductive way of convincing American citizens that foreign nationals belong in the United States. Still, nobody is rounding up the perpetrators who obscenely disrespect the sacrifices of all those Americans who fought and died in the past so that the Stars and Stripes might fly today.
On the other hand, whenever teenagers leave tread marks on rainbow-flag-painted intersections, Democrat officials treat such minor, rebellious incidents as if they were profound offenses to the State. Democrat-controlled police departments actually waste resources tracking down anyone unwilling to treat gay emblems as sacred shrines. The same Democrat politicians who can’t be bothered to clean up city streets of drug needles, human waste, and trash spare no expense organizing manhunts for the occasional freethinking troublemaker marking a public street with public speech.
When an American can go to prison for the “hate crime” of disrespecting the Alphabet Army’s flag but foreign nationals are celebrated for burning the American people’s flag, it is easy to understand why so many Americans feel as if they are strangers in their own country.
Our deluded empathy is leftists’ greatest weapon; they conquer us when we fear hurt feelings. “Political correctness” teaches us to censor ourselves, until those who decide what is “politically correct” gain enough political power to censor us with force. So be wary of those who implore others to disregard moral virtue in the name of “love” because those same people are quick to punish virtue as “hate.”
The Gay Gestapo did not materialize overnight. Before it could wield the power it has today, society first had to be degraded. Christian virtue had to be minimized, mocked, and maligned. It might surprise high-schoolers to learn that there was a time when entire families could enjoy a movie without worrying that some graphic sex scene would pop up in the middle to embarrass children, parents, and grandparents.
Nobody had to wonder whether a summer blockbuster would descend into veritable porn. By the ’80s, however, it became almost standard practice for Hollywood studios to pause their movies’ storytelling so that they could show big-name celebrities simulating sex. It’s bizarre when you think about it: One moment you’re watching a movie about fighter jets or aliens, and all of a sudden, there’s a scene that requires A-list stars to be undressed.
Everybody knows that sex sells, but when the movie industry and the porn industry became almost indistinguishable, it was clear that society had a serious problem. Pronoun People often insist that explicit sodomy in television and movies is necessary so that gay and “trans” people feel “included.” Rather than adding even more sex into our over-sexed entertainment, perhaps we should ask why Hollywood studios sell vulgarity as “art.” Is it to lift society up? Is it to express truth or capture beauty? Or is it to demean us, so that we learn to treat others as disposable things? Is it meant to teach us to see the worst in human beings? Is it meant to cloud our minds, so that we reject virtue and embrace sin? Is it meant to discourage us from showing true love and respect for the people around us? Vice is evil not because some schoolmarm says so; it is evil because it destroys lives.
One Rainbow Nazi recently threatened on social media, “Queer and trans kids are the LGBTQ community’s children, much more than they belong to their assigned families, given how those families treat them.” Lest that remark be dismissed as the mere ravings of an Alphabet Activist, prominent Democrat congressman Jamie Raskin is right now excoriating the Supreme Court for ruling that parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ+ indoctrination in the classroom.
Mainstream Democrats believe not only that America’s children belong to them, but also that those children must be fed a steady diet of “transgender” delusion and sexual fantasy. They have chased Christian virtue from the classroom and now insist that “Pride Month’s” zeal for depravity be recognized as the State’s official religion. In every war for the future, the children are always the first victims.
There are signs of moral resistance. Last week, a local NBC News affiliate in Maine featured a drag queen named “Chartreuse Money” as a surprise “meteorologist” for families tuning in to hear about the weather. “All it took was a pride parade to bring the sunshine out, honey,” the she-he told Mainers. During the days of Obama and Biden, Chartreuse would have immediately been given a national platform to showcase his meteorological “talents” while being celebrated as a paragon of “scientific expertise.” Instead, the “news” center deleted all evidence of its drag queen weather forecast. Perhaps even godless “elites” understand that “Pride Month’s” allure is plumb worn out.
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.
