President Trump just told the doomsday chorus what he thinks of their latest panic. He is not slowing the machines. He is not handing Silicon Valley a federal kill switch dressed up as “pacing.” He is standing up an AI Force, naming a high-IQ czar, and telling the country that existing criminal and civil law is already enough to hunt the bad actors.
The Saturday Truth Social blast landed as Congress, the press, and a cluster of frontier-lab CEOs have spent weeks begging Washington for new guardrails. Trump’s answer was blunt. Cherish the industry. Help it. Watch over it. Do not smother it.
We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows! However, we will also be looking for BAD, and we can do that, very easily, with our already existing Criminal and Civil Justice System.
That last sentence is the part the legacy outlets will try to bury. He is not pretending every chatbot is a Sunday school teacher. He is refusing to invent a new priesthood of regulators because a handful of billionaires suddenly discovered civic virtue after building the very systems they now want to license.
Space Force Was the Template
Trump compared the new body to the Space Force he created in his first term, the first new military service since 1947. The White House has not said whether this AI Force will be a service branch, a civilian shop, or a strike team of engineers embedded across agencies. No budget. No org chart. No nominee yet.
What he did say is the job description for the czar. Only high-IQ applicants need apply. David Sacks held the last version of that title as AI and crypto czar before his special-government-employee clock ran out in the spring. He now co-chairs the president’s science advisory council and has been telling anyone who will listen that the companies should make their products safe instead of running to Capitol Hill with extinction slides.
That is the sane order of operations. Build. Compete. Prosecute the crooks. Do not freeze the frontier so Beijing can walk through it.
AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country’s GDP. We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way!
The timing is not accidental. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sits down with Chinese Premier Li Qiang as tariffs and both open- and closed-weight models go on the table. Trump meets Xi Jinping later in the week. Whoever wins AI wins more than a press cycle. That is the part the “pause the frontier” crowd never wants to linger on.
The Hoax List Got a New Entry
Trump did not whisper the word. He put the AI panic on the same shelf as Russia collusion, two impeachments, men in women’s sports, and the climate rename game. The New York Post caught the full inventory.
Over the years, there have been many Hoaxes, all generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, and now, the decimation, or destruction, of AI… And I, as President of the United States, will not stand by and let this happen.
He traced the latest campaign to the “crazed” war on data centers. When towns noticed the paychecks, the tax base, and the construction jobs, the attack shifted. Same playbook as swapping “global warming” for “climate change” so the scare could survive the weather. Now the target is the technology itself.
Republican lawmakers have already said they smell something else behind the sudden piety from the labs. An embedded evaluator with employee-like access. An antitrust hall pass. A federal pacing board that just happens to freeze the smaller competitors while the incumbents write the test. That is not safety. That is a cartel with better vocabulary.
Christians can hold two thoughts at once. Machines that lie to children, coach despair, and flood the culture with cheap imitation are not imaginary. Neither is the older temptation to let fear crown a new set of managers. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Sound minds do not outsource discernment to the same firms that want immunity from the damage they already shipped.
Watch the Bad. Do Not Hand Them the Keys.
Use the courts. Use fraud statutes. Use product liability. Use the FBI when a model is deployed to steal, dox, or wreck a grid. That is adult government. A new “AI EPA” staffed by the same people who spent two years telling voters the robots were about to end the species is not adult government. It is a protection racket with a white paper.
Trump even opened a poll on the name. Superior Intelligence. Extreme Intelligence. Supreme Intelligence. Call it what you want. The substance is the same. America either keeps the lead or watches the Chinese Communist Party take it while Washington holds hearings about feelings.
The AI Force will be judged by what it actually does. If it becomes a permit office for favored labs, it will have failed. If it keeps the industry growing, nails the crooks, and refuses to let a midterm scare campaign lock in a permanent bureaucracy, it will have done the job Space Force was built to do in another domain. Win the high ground. Do not surrender it because the people who built the weapons suddenly want to license them.
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.
