The American Center for Law and Justice recently submitted two California Public Records Act requests seeking information from the attorney general and secretary of state as to how California ensures that only lawful U.S. citizens are voting in elections. In response, California authorities admitted that they do not track non-citizens on voter rolls as required by federal law. Not only does the state have no idea how many non-citizen voters are registered to vote but also it has no formal procedure for investigating illegal voting.
California prohibits cities from requiring voter ID. The state essentially has a “Trust me, bro” voting policy that allows anybody to send in a ballot. Nobody has any idea how many foreigners vote in California elections. California refuses to safeguard its elections.
It is appalling that California maintains such shoddy election records. It is appalling that California makes it so easy for non-citizens to vote. It is appalling that California requires weeks to count votes each election cycle.
For citizens to have faith in the legitimacy of election outcomes, elections must be run with professionalism and integrity. Instead, California’s elections are a global laughingstock. On the other hand, if you were trying to design a system conducive to mass fraud, the California model is par excellence.
Democrat-run states around the country emulate California’s untrustworthy elections as much as possible. They vehemently oppose photo identification and citizenship verification requirements — falsely labeling such basic security measures as poll taxes and forms of racial discrimination and voter suppression. Democrat secretaries of state routinely issue voting guidelines to election monitors that violate statutory law.
Democrat attorneys general and local prosecutors refuse to investigate allegations of election fraud, and when they do open up investigations, they rarely prosecute offenders. Democrat politicians make it clear that they will not punish illegal immigrants for unlawfully voting.
Here is a video of a young woman interviewing President Obama just days before the 2016 election contest between President Trump and Hillary Clinton. In this video, the interviewer defends calling illegal aliens “citizens” because, according to her, “they contribute to this country.” Then she informs Obama that these illegal aliens are “fearful of voting” and asks him whether immigration authorities will deport illegal alien voters and their families. Obama replies, “Not true.”
While remaining rhetorically cagey, he strongly implies that there will be no repercussions for illegal aliens who fraudulently vote in American elections. Since Democrat officials refuse to remove illegal aliens from state voter rolls or prosecute illegal aliens who vote in elections, Obama was telling the truth. Democrats in positions of authority aid and abet non-citizens who commit election fraud.
Democrat-controlled states enable illegal aliens to influence the outcomes of elections. Just by unlawfully residing in Democrat-run states, illegal aliens are counted in the U.S. Census, triggering the creation of additional Democrat congressional districts. Additionally, every illegal alien who votes cancels a vote from a U.S. citizen. How many state officeholders or members of the U.S. House or Senate hold their positions because of illegal alien vote fraud? Because Democrat-controlled states refuse to turn over their election records, we simply don’t know.
As awful as this Democrat-enabled electoral fraud already is, it will become much worse if Democrats get their way. Up to now, our federal system has operated as a security mechanism that limits the damage Democrats can do to our elections. They can use illegal alien voters to steal state offices and federal elections for Congress. They can use the population of illegal alien residents to increase their share of representatives in the House. But the Constitution’s requirement that an Electoral College vote for the president and vice president limits the extent to which one state’s unlawful votes can cancel out another state’s votes.
Since the number of each state’s presidential electors is equal to that state’s congressional delegation (House representatives plus two senators), that is the maximum influence a state has on the presidential election. No matter how many illegal aliens fraudulently vote for a Democrat president and vice president every four years, each state’s vote share in the Electoral College is already predetermined.
This is why Democrats are so desperate to eliminate the Electoral College. This is why they insist that a workaround to the Constitution be enacted that would permit a so-called “national popular vote” to determine presidential elections.
If there is no Electoral College to limit the damage illegal alien voters do to the integrity of California’s elections, then California’s fraudulent voting system can be used to rig the entire nation’s presidential election. Republican-led states can roll out photo ID laws and secure their own elections all they want, but their efforts will not matter if California and other fraud-filled states allow every foreign national to vote (often more than once).
Every election season, Democrats become more vocal about finding a way — any way — to abolish the Electoral College. The fever pitch to tear up part of the Constitution is not limited to the Marxist-socialists who openly fantasize about destroying the United States. Even so-called Democrat “moderates,” such as Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, regularly appear on national news shows to demand an end to the Electoral College.
If Beshear and other “moderate” Democrats get their way, Democrat political operatives who run elections in Democrat-controlled cities will be able to aid and abet enough illegal alien vote fraud to determine every future presidential election. California’s election fraud system will become the de facto system for the whole country.
These are the stakes before us: Democrat-enabled vote fraud combined with a “national popular vote” will end the United States. Republican states would not remain part of the Union. Because Senate Republicans have done nothing to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act and because the Supreme Court insists that foreign nationals can break into the United States to give birth to American “citizens,” the risk that Democrats will eventually succeed in destroying the Electoral College has never been higher.
Given that this serious issue threatens to destroy the Union, shouldn’t we demand that our elected representatives answer important questions, such as: How are so-called “sanctuary” cities and states anything other than declarations of secession from the United States? How is it possible for Democrat mayors, governors, judges, prosecutors, lawmakers, and state law enforcement agencies to subvert federal immigration law without any real consequences for their actions? How are Democrat officials permitted to aid and abet human trafficking networks without being criminally charged as co-conspirators in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act cases?
Why are Democrat officials not charged when illegal alien criminals whom they shield from deportation go on to rape, murder, or otherwise violently harm American citizens? Why are Democrat officials not on trial today for conspiring with illegal aliens in the commission of massive welfare fraud schemes across the country? Why are Democrat officials not on trial for inducing electoral fraud? Why are Democrat officials not on trial for denying the civil rights of American citizens by stealing their votes?
If these questions aren’t stubbornly asked every single day, then we will continue sleepwalking toward a second civil war and the dissolution of the Union.
If elected officials continue to ignore these questions, then their disregard should be understood as support for secession. Because there is no other way to describe our present situation in which Democrat officials are somehow permitted to undermine federal immigration law while suffering no consequences. They have given de facto amnesty to foreign nationals residing here illegally, and they have received from federal authorities de facto amnesty for their criminal actions.
If this conspicuous lawlessness is not soon extinguished, California vote fraud will infect the federal system. Illegitimate elections will destroy the United States.
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.
