Food Protectionism

 What is Food Protectionism? It is when a nation limits its exports to be sent outside of the country. Over the last two weeks, we have seen several countries put a stop to food exports. This started last year with Brazil deciding after a terrible season it wouldn’t be able to send as much out as they had planned. China had a terrible harvest season as well because of climate issues. China has been buying up everything it possibly could. 


Southeast Asia has hit a brick wall with the production of cooking oil. These nations won’t be shipping out as many materials as originally planned. No! This isn’t Russia’s fault by any means. Given the situation between Russia and Ukraine isn’t helping matters. The only reason I am even bringing it up is that this is where the majority of the wheat for bread is grown. Yes, some nations do grow their own grain, but not enough.  


I am going to leave a number of articles for y’all to read and understand why I have reached the assessment that I have. We are headed for rationing. I am not talking about just in America, I mean worldwide just like during WW II. Limited products and people to feed caused both England and America to ration products. The upside of the food rations is that by the end the people were in better shape than they’d been in years. They had unlimited fruit and veggies they grew and lean meats. Fats and sugars, however, were limited and expensive. They rode bikes and walked everywhere. Driving was limited because gas, oil, and tires were rationed. So driving was done on a must-do basis. We are headed down the same path.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...
