On Friday, President Trump attended the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after an uninvited gunman brought the original April gala to a premature conclusion.  Even though the would-be assassin had left a confession explaining his intention to murder the president and as many members of his administration as possible, the assembled “journalists” spent the next few days pretending that they were the intended targets.

In breathless interviews with obsequious colleagues, the “heroic journalists” in attendance told dwindling viewers what it was like to have been so near death.  Suffice it to say, combat veterans and beat cops found it difficult not to roll their eyes at the pampered prima donnas who playact at being reporters while obsessing about their hair and makeup.

There was also a noticeable suggestion in the April air that President Trump had somehow put the “journalists” in danger, rather than the other way around.  In fact, had the failed assassin not left an explanation for his crimes, it seems likely that corporate news talking heads would have spent weeks speculating, without evidence, that the gunman was a MAGA fanatic incited to violence by the president’s condemnation of “fake news.”

This was how corporate media handled the September 10, 2025, assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Commentators immediately covered up the fact that a leftwing zealot murdered Kirk.  After the assassination, Jimmy Kimmel (who plays a “comedian” on TV but is actually a modern-day broadcast news anchor for American leftists) told viewers, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

With that glib statement, Kimmel disseminated multiple layers of propaganda.  First, he called the murderer a “kid” in an effort to minimize the barbarity of the leftwing assassin’s crime (which included stealing a husband from his wife, a father from his children, and a natural leader from the American people).  Second, he lied by blaming the “MAGA gang” for Charlie’s murder and saying nothing about rising threats from leftwing violence.  Third, he diminished the seriousness of the political assassination and pretended that the whole story was nothing more than a fabricated and calculated brouhaha devised “to score political points.”

The corporate news message was straightforward: Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t really a political assassination because MAGA voters were the ones who did the murdering and sought to profit from it politically.

When ABC briefly pulled Kimmel off the air in response to public fury over the fake-comedian-real-propagandist’s malicious messaging, Kimmel played the part of a victim who was heroically standing up to defend the First Amendment against the “fascist” and “authoritarian” President Trump.  To this day, Kimmel still tells everyone who will listen how oppressed he is in the United States.  (He does this while flying all over the world and enjoying the privileges of a public megaphone unavailable to most people.)

This is how the corporate news machine minimized the historic nature of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the dangers of leftwing violence and domestic terrorism, and mainstream media’s culpability in spreading lies, fomenting social division, and inciting murder.

When a would-be assassin crashed the April White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, the people who abuse the First Amendment by lying for a living jumped into action by making the story all about the plight of “noble journalists.”

Had they had any integrity or capacity for self-reflection, the “reporters” in attendance that evening would have admitted to their audiences that a decade of biased reporting and vile, anti-Trump hatred led directly to at least ten assassination attempts on the president.  I have not found a single instance of a mainstream “journalist” publicly acknowledging that false or misleading reporting is even partly to blame for the repeated attacks on the president.

Most of the time, in fact, “journalists” find a way to blame Trump for saying things that rile people up.  While “journalists” see their own First Amendment rights as sacrosanct, they see the president’s free speech as ample justification for his murder.  This cognitive dissonance is why so few Americans trust mainstream corporate news “reporters” to say anything truthful.

For more than ten years, the biggest names in “journalism” have told outright lies about Donald J. Trump.  They’ve called him a rapist, a racist, and a Russian spy.  They’ve insisted that he would destroy the economy, start nuclear wars, and arrest people for their political beliefs.  They’ve described him as a fascist, a Nazi, a Klan member, an authoritarian, and a threat to democracy.  They’ve told Americans that he is a liar and cannot be trusted.  They’ve refused to cover his speeches.

Then these same “journalists” feign surprise whenever someone tries to murder Trump, or even more contemptibly, they obscure the would-be assassin’s motives and downplay the seriousness of the threat.

It’s been over two years since President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.  When the assassination attempt happened, mainstream corporate news first pretended that there was no shooter; then they pretended that Trump had not actually been shot; then they mocked the fact that Trump had been wounded in the ear (as if a bullet coming within an inch of ending the president’s life were a joking matter); then they seeded public doubt as to whether the assassination attempt had been faked (while intentionally ignoring the reality that the gunman had murdered local Pennsylvanian Corey Comperatore, who was shielding his wife and daughters at the rally).

Geopolitical turmoil has prompted price hikes for long-term storage survival food. Heaven’s Harvest is the exception because their all-American food is sourced locally. Use promo code “Patriot” for a nice discount today!

To this day, not nearly enough is known about the alleged Butler assassin or the failures of the U.S. Secret Service to protect the president.  Just as with the other attempts on Trump’s life, mainstream corporate news “journalists” have failed to ask any probing questions or investigate the matter thoroughly.  When they do mention the assassination attempt, they often lie by framing the shooter as a conservative or MAGA voter.

In other words, just as Jimmy Kimmel did with the murderer of Charlie Kirk, corporate “journalists” continue to ignore leftwing violence while insinuating or explicitly stating that MAGA Americans are to blame.

It is fascinating to witness how out of touch and deranged America’s “preeminent journalists” are today.  They all suffer from a lack of objectivity and a dearth of curiosity.  They are obtuse, ill-informed, intellectually handicapped, shallow, and often pathologically incapable of telling the truth.

President Trump knows this, and he is unafraid to tell the mediocre people who ask him questions just how unimpressive they really are.  The president’s brutal honesty hurts the feelings of this odd American caste — as self-important and entitled as it is moronic and unworthy of esteem — and its humiliated members feel compelled to cry like petulant, spoiled toddlers accustomed to getting their own way.

While the president used the WHCA Dinner to remind “journalists” how they all covered for Dementia Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, both CNN and MSNOW were busy complaining about how Trump had torpedoed Americans’ trust in the corporate news media.  Neither network considered how their own “journalists” might be to blame for losing the public’s trust after their fake-news institutions pushed decades of lies.

They lied about Trump colluding with Russia.  They lied about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter.  They lied about everything to do with COVID.  They lied about Biden receiving eighty-one million votes, more than any candidate in American history.  They lied about Biden’s senility.  They continue to lie about “global warming,” mass illegal immigration, and ICE violence.  They even lie about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and the White House State Ballroom.

Corporate “journalists” are liars.  They encourage leftwing violence with their lies.  They deserve neither our respect nor sympathy.  They have earned our mockery.

Bypass Big Tech Censors

Pro-MAGA. Pro-Trump. Pro-America. Pro-Family. Most importantly, Pro-Jesus. Here’s the news aggregator that delivers what America needs right now: jdrucker.com 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.
