“Your company cannot be worth that much.” – The Office
I hear Joe Biden has an I.Q. of 150 – he took the test three times and added up all the scores.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Open War.
I’ve kept Clock O’Doom at the same location. For now. The advice remains. Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.
In this issue: Front Matter – The Michael Scott Presidency – Violence And Censorship Update – Updated Civil War 2.0 Index – Guns – Links
Front Matter
Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month.

The Michael Scott Presidency
The Michael Scott in the title refers to the fictional Regional Manager of Dunder-Mifflin on the NBC® sitcom, The Office. Michael Scott was a bumbling character, a bit self-important and self-absorbed, and an HR nightmare. Even with all of that Scott was generally successful, often in spite of himself.
I would hate for anyone to think I was comparing *resident Joe Biden to Michael Scott. I don’t think that Biden could last for a month as a regional manager of an office supply company. But what I do refer to is one particular episode, where Michael had quit, started his own paper company, and was negotiating its sale to his old employer. Why?
It was a sitcom.
Michael Scott’s old boss had a simple response when Scott wants his old job back, which his boss, rightly, notes is a multimillion-dollar buyout. “Your company cannot be worth that much.”
Scott responds: “Our company is worth nothing. Business isn’t about money to me, David. If tomorrow my company goes under, I will just start another paper company. And then another. And another. And another.”
What sounds good on paper? Communism. Unless you’re reading a history book.
And that’s where Brandon Biden is. He has failed so spectacularly in every category imaginable:
- Economic Policy making Jimmy Carter look like a genius,
- Remembering the names of the days of the week,
- Foreign Relations, except the Afghans would sure like to do business again,
- Raising children that even a drug lord would disown,
- Trade, where his idea of sanctions on enemies are actually things that hurt Americans more, and
- Energy, where he started with an energy-independent nation and made it more dependent than a welfare mother of six.
Biden’s presidency isn’t worthless, it has a negative value. He has nothing. At all. So he has nothing to lose, which is the scary part.
When Bill Clinton was in the same place, however, he did something incredibly astute: he decided to work with the Republicans, and crafted a legislative package that led to drastic reduction of deficit spending while creating a booming economy. Just like sleeping with Hillary, it wasn’t what Bill wanted to do, but it was what he had to do to keep power.
That’s not where Biden has gone. At every chance, he has upped the stakes on partisanship. This is straight out of Obama’s playbook – whenever there is a chance to unite? Divide. I’d say that Joe learned that lesson there, but I’m pretty sure that his cognitive abilities are somewhere below the low battery limit.
No, whoever is calling the shots is upping the ante. And, losing this badly and refusing to admit that there are no fewer than 100 million citizens that think he is insane, he’s attempting to swing for the fences. That means that, as long as Joe is in office, there’s no limit to the number of things he’ll try. There’s also no limit to the level of Leftist insanity that will be in those plans.
Sadly, this isn’t a sitcom episode. I mean, except for the whole Hunter thing.
Hunter spilled beer on his laptop so he took it to the repair shop since he thought it had Corona virus.
Violence And Censorship Update
May started off with a victory, of sorts. The shrieking harpy that had been selected to head the Department of Justice’s Ministry of Truth quit. At least temporarily. I’m not sure that I completely believe that they’ve given up the plan, but I think that they’ve given up on the cartoon-tier villain that they had chosen to run it.
In other news, the dream of the dystopians isn’t dead: vax trackers and now, a “carbon-footprint” tracker has been created. All of them use that oh-so-wholesome invention, the cell phone. We see how that will be implemented – in Australia, for instance, “citizens” had to take pictures and prove location using cell phones at random intervals to prove they were following the COVID laws.
Updated Civil War II Index
The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real-time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that combine to become the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.
Violence:
Violence ticked up. Perhaps turning back up in June or July – Antifa® seems primed?
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable, and it went up more in May. With abortion and gun control, even more in June?
Economic:
Instability increases . . . .
Illegal Aliens:
It set a new record. Again. An all-time record. The border is, for all intents and purposes, wide open.
Guns
Gun control is probably the third rail for ten or twenty million Americans. And, well, those are Americans with guns. It would probably be easier to disarm the “pillow lovers club” but it has always been guns.
Why?
It is certainly for one reason, and one reason only. It’s not about hunting. It’s about a challenge to tyranny. As attributed to Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
So, when the Left asks, “How many more kids have to die?” it’s not a political position or tear jerker line. It’s a threat – they will do anything, anything at all to take your guns from you.
Regardless, the gun debate is over. Period. If armed police will stand outside of a school while children inside are slaughtered, they will stand outside of anyone’s home while the same happens there. The reason that we haven’t had another hijacking after 9-11 isn’t because of sky marshals. It isn’t because of enhanced security or the FBI suddenly becoming competent.
Nope. It’s because the American people on those airplanes finally recognized something that nearly every reader here has always known: the defense of your family and your own life is your responsibility, always has been, and always will be. The defense of our nations and schools belongs to us, not some outside entity.
Anything else is fiction.
