There are three types of people who will read this post all the way through. Most will do so because they think I’m wrong. They’ll say the right is scoring some victories and taking some defeats, but it’s all part of the right-left, good-evil, conservative-progressive ebb and flow that has driven political, cultural, and religious battles throughout modern American history.
Some will read it looking for the glimmer of hope that keeps them motivated to not give up on America. My writing often presents the bad while offering a reminder that not all is lost as long as we keep fighting the good fight.
A few will read this to see if I’m aligned with their perspectives or able to convince them that I’m right. These are the people who or often labeled as cynical even as they declare they’re just being realistic. I’ll be labeled cynical, but I certainly believe I’m just being realistic.
So, to subvert expectations, I’m not going to deliver a long article with examples of how badly we’re losing. Those will just be countered by examples of battles we’re winning and the end result will be reiteration of how that first group of people think, the ones who believe it’s an ebb and flow and it’ll continue that way into perpetuity.
Instead, let’s just look at the questions themselves. Here is a very partial list in no particular order of issues that are being debated in America today:
- Are there two genders?
- Should illegal aliens be allowed to cross the border and stay indefinitely?
- Are the Covid-19 vaccines safe and effective?
- Should children be exposed to sexual deviants?
- Are reparations warranted?
- Is there massive, widespread voter fraud in America?
- Should students have to pay back their loans?
- Should companies bow to the wokeness even if it drives away business?
- Can children make the decision to permanently mutilate their genitals?
- Should our military focus on inclusivity or building the strongest warfighters on the planet?
It’s not a question of whether we are winning or losing on these fronts. It’s the sheer fact that these questions are still being debated at all that tells me we’re losing. At any other point in American history, these are questions for which the answers would be self-evident. Since they’re not for some reason, I can only attribute it to spirits of the age, what some are calling mass psychosis or systemic mental illness.
The fact that these questions are still being asked is ludicrous prima facie. But when unambiguous facts and undeniable realities continue to be debated, two things happen. First, those who are forcing the questions to be asked are emboldened because they know they shouldn’t be taken seriously but are, therefore they’re accomplishing something wonderful in their own minds. Second, it gives the lucid among us perceived victories as we “own the libs” constantly. Yet all of these perceived victories are meaningless if the questions and actions persists.
A recent example of this dichotomy of perceptions is the resurgence of Matt Walsh’s documentary, “What Is a Woman?” The radical left uses it as a rallying cry to advance their movement, telling those who are brainwashed into believing their garbage that they’re being further persecuted so they need to double-down. The right sees the video getting tons of views. Perhaps they watch the documentary itself. They come away thinking that hearts and minds must have been changed by sheer bulk. More importantly, we hear the arguments that Walsh makes and we think to ourselves that it’s so spot on, there’s no way anyone can come to any conclusion other than the fact that a woman is an adult human female.
Therein lies the reason why most on the right don’t realize we’re losing. We see logical and unquestionable conclusions to debates happen, so we think we’re winning. What most of us fail to realize is that we think we won the battle when in reality we didn’t even make a dent. Even worse, we’re told that we’re the bad guys for fighting the battle right before we lose it.
For example, there were plenty of articles and podcasts dedicated to the insane concept of banning gas stoves a few months ago. The reaction from the White House, corporate media, and leftists at large was to gaslight us into thinking we were silly for considering the possibility that gas stoves would be banned. We made our points and assumed we’d won. Then, the banning of gas stoves began a few months later. We’ve responded by saying, “See how wrong the fact-checkers were when they said we were being silly!” Meanwhile, laws are being passed.
We were convinced we’d won the battle while just as defeat was being dealt to us behind the scenes.
The right declared victory when PayPal apologized for having a $2500 fine they could impose based on ideology. Why did we declare victory? Because PayPal apologized and said it was a mistake. We moved on. Meanwhile, the $2500 fine still exists to this day. Nothing changed other than that we were conned into ceasing our complaints. The same can be said for the so-called “Ministry of Truth” that was shelved. We fought. They shelved it. We declared victory. A few months later it’s back and even worse, yet few are talking about it this time.
What about the Pandemic Treaty? Last April, everyone on the right was up in arms. By June, it “failed” so the right declared victory. Now it’s back and far worse than it was before, yet I saw effectively zero coverage on conservative or alternative media even as the World Health Assembly finalized their draconian plans this month.
Do you see a pattern?
The radical left, the globalist elite cabal, the new world order, the Powers and Principalities — whatever you want to call them — have the will to keep fighting against facts and logic because their agenda is everything to them. Most who are on our side see what we believe should be indisputable victories and we move on to the next battle. We allow the insane questions to continue to be asked and we think we win every time we give a solid answer. But kids are still being groomed. Elections are still being stolen. Our military is still being misdirected. The border is still being overrun.
We are not winning.
It’s long past time to change strategies. We can no longer simply win debates and move on. That does nothing. Instead, we need to expose the various evils in our nation and make concrete changes to completely annihilate them today and into the future. The easy button would be through legislation but we cannot trust our lawmakers to do anything. Until we achieve the seemingly impossible task of having supermajorities of constitutional conservatives controlling Capitol Hill and the White House, we cannot expect anything good coming from the Uniparty Swamp.
That leaves the corrupt judiciary as our only recourse. We need victories in court, which means we need lawsuits filed. For example, the moment that PayPal apologized for their mistake, they should have been sued for their biased practice immediately. The Department of Homeland Security should have been sued for forming their “Ministry of Truth” instead of being let off the hook for temporarily taking it down. And any organization that promotes exposing children to sexual deviants or allowing them to permanently mutilate a minor’s genitals should be sued over and over again.
This is all above my paygrade to organize, so I have to call on others with the resources to make it happen. Instead of donating large sums of money to the corrupt RNC or the Uniparty’s various candidates, that money should be spent on making real changes ourselves. Politicians cannot save us. Even if they could, most wouldn’t.
For the rest of us who haven’t the resources but still want to fight, there are two things we can do. First and foremost, pray ceaselessly for our nation. Second, spread the word. Hopefully some who do have the resources can start fighting properly if we can a bug or two in their ear.
We cannot just win debates. We aren’t changing hearts and minds even if we think we are. The only way to start truly winning is to bring the debates to a close by prompting the judiciary to act. But they won’t do anything until more patriots start filing lawsuits. Lots and lots of lawsuits.
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.
