And I’m still doing taxes.  I’m missing a form from a broker, so unless I can get it electronically, it’s extension city.

Ugh.

*update, got the form online, taxes done.  Taxes still suck.

 

 

 

“Don’t they know you’re in the danger zone?” – Archer

I got kicked out of the bar for attempting to karaoke “Danger Zone” three times in a row.  Too many Loggins attempts.

5. Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
6. People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology.  Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
7. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
8. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
9. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
10. Open War.

Volume VII, Issue 11

Most memes except for the clock and graphs are “as found”.  I have maintained the Clock O’Doom at 9., given the open support of assassination and criminality by the GloboLeft and the increase in violence as well as direct interference with ICE and the insertion of the military into law enforcement.  Beware: the number can climb quickly.

My advice remains.  Avoid crowds.  Get out of cities.  Now.  A year too soon is better than one day too late.

Danger Zone

Trump was elected based on the desire of the electorate for change.

The immiseration of the people of the United States had been a constant for decades through both Republican and Democrat.  One example of this immiseration was through pumping the wealth out of workers through things like bringing in unending hordes of illegal aliens as the GloboLeft galloped left at full speed.

The GloboLeftElite loved this because it diluted the Founding Stock of the United States.  The Chamber of Commerce Right loved it because they could get cheaper wages from people who couldn’t really complain about being treated unfairly because they were here illegally.  H-1Bs, who Trump criticized during his 2016 campaign, were just a legal version of illegal strawberry pickers from Venezuela, making wages go down for white collar workers as well.

Trump was elected not only because of that single issue, but it was a very big issue to his supporters.  Controlling illegals had upwards of 80% approval in the 1980s and 1990s, but yet neither side really wanted to stop it because both profited.

In general, by the time Trump showed up, people were very tired of their government working mainly for those with access and cash rather than, you know, the voters.  In this, Trump’s appeal was as a populist, nationalist, and traditionalist.

Well, we can play pretend about the traditional bit, but he certainly sold it.

So where does that put us?

We’ve already seen the early tremors of increased unrest in March:  those four terrorism-linked incidents and the “No Kings” protests that pulled in eight million GloboLeftists.  They were only slightly fiery and were mostly peaceful, I guess.  But the Trump Derangement Syndrome was thick enough to cut with a knife.

I’ve said it before, but my call as the window of peak danger of civil unrest, maybe heading to something spicier is still late June through mid-August

First, the destabilizing bits:  Economic pain from the Iran/Israel military action is the big one.  Fuel prices are climbing, diesel surcharges are right now hitting shipping and farming.  Fertilizer costs will soon be pushing pushing grocery inflation toward 3%

Or 6%.

Or worse.

That’s not abstract.  It’s a hidden tax that hits those with lower incomes first and hardest, and makes everyone irritable.  Add in the war’s unpopularity with polls hovering around 54-60% of Americans against it.  There has been no national proposition given, and certainly no big “rally around the flag” moment.

The GloboLeft mobilizes like they did with No Kings™ and they just want to make things burn.

March already brought terror incidents noted below in the Violence and Censorship Update.  A few more sparks with no arrests and no controls?

The result is backlash cycles, copycats, and overreactions that make GloboLeftist cities feel like powder kegs.  I’m rating it high on the economic front, medium-high on the polarization and protest momentum, medium on the terrorism angle.

All of it adds up an area more prone to wildfire than the land underneath an electrical pole in California.

Certainly, there’s another side.  Trump’s weakened position and the very real shot at Democratic midterm gains will weigh huge in the minds of the GloboLeftist:  they don’t need to burn down Portland (again) they just need to wait.

History shows midterms punish the president’s party when approval sits in the 39-40% range, and right now the numbers point to the GloboLeft taking the House and maybe challenging the Senate.  That gives the opposition a concrete, non-violent outlet:  organize, fundraise, vote, investigate, block funding, block nominees to federal courts, including the Supreme Court (Clarence, might be time to retire, bro).

Anger may get channeled into ballots instead of barricades and barista rage.  We saw the same pattern after big protest waves before on the GloboLeft:  energy shifts from streets to strategy sessions.

The biggest golden opportunity is if some miracle happens in Iran and things go back to normal, quickly.  The TradRight’s base remains pretty cohesive, and if it winds down Maduro-fast, economic relief may (and I stress may) follow.

The other major factor is that Americans have a habit of bending instead of breaking when elections loom.  Post-2020 lessons mean better law enforcement prep and more public fatigue with endless disorder.

Net result?  The system may (again, may) direct the pressure into polarized politics rather than national breakdown.

A perfect storm would look like prolonged war, major terror attack, economic crash with no relief and the sort of political agitation that took George Floyd from dead junkie to St. George.  Don’t think that wasn’t engineered to make Trump look bad.

My timing of greatest risk in 2026?  Late June to mid-August.

Heat and aggression go together like cheap beer, dark bars, and bad decisions.  Decades of studies show violence and collective unrest spike with temperature.  Violence pops roughly 9% higher for every 20°F jump, up to about 85°F.  Over that, the “It’s too hot to do anything” starts to kick in.  But historically, the United States has had to deal with violence peaking during hot summers.

Look at the “long hot summers” of the 1960s, the 1919 Red Summer peaks, Watts in 1965, or how George Floyd protests exploded and dragged through June-August 2020.  People are outside more, school’s out, protests feel easier.

Add the perceptual distance from the November midterms.  If you can’t save enough to pay the rent, an election 3 to 4.5 months away feels like nothing’s happening fast enough.

Summer heat just turns the volume up on whatever tinder already exists.

Pulling the whole thread together: March gave us the preview of early terror incidents plus those historic-scale protests that acted as both pressure valve and polarization amplifier.  The hypothetical Iran mess layers on economic stress and extremism risks that could intensify by summer.

Late June to mid-August lines up as my bet for peak trouble because of the heat, the calendar gap, and the precedent.

The midterm outlet remains the strongest stabilizer.  The Left gets a path to power without needing indefinite street theater and endless pictures of fugly women with unshaved pits.

Keep an eye on June.

(No second story this month, this one got long enough)

Violence and Censorship Update

Violence is back on the menu, boys:

On March 1, Ndiaga Diagne was upset about Iran, and is alleged to have killed 3 and injured 15 after opening fire in a bar in Austin, Texas.

March 7 brought us a moslem throwing a homemade bomb while at a rally of people who were protesting to keep moslems in the United States.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh went postal at Old Dominion University, but was killed after murdering one on March 12.

On March 28 the “No Kings” protest against Trump saw 3000 plus groups of GloboLeftists claiming a total of eight million protestors, with hundreds of arrests nationally of GloboLeftists initiating violence.

Censorship?

Europe is still king, with more arrests for memes or any opinion on immigration or moslem violence that didn’t regard moslem violence as deserving of praise, so, no change.

Misery Index

The new Trump administration is shown in red.  Results continue to be much better than Biden’s misery numbers, though this is Trump’s worst month of his second term.

Behold, the Miserito!

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 indicators have maintained a high level this month.  This is one of the top five months of the last 84 (the CW Weather Report started in June, 2019).

Political Instability:

Down is more stable, and it went up this month.  I anticipate it going up again in April, especially since half of the population hates Americans and 40% of the other half don’t want a war with Iran.

Economic:

The economy took a drop this month, and the war in the Gulf will place exponential pressure on economies worldwide.

Illegal Aliens:

Still the near lowest level since the Weather Report started.

Still think this isn’t intentional?

Feeling a bit under the weather, did have half-ish of the Civil War 2.0 Weather Report done, but ran out of umph.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

 

I was planning on a post, but, again, my day didn’t allow time to get my notes together.  And, though I don’t plan to make it a habit, there is the possibility that it’ll be more memes next Friday.  We’ll see.

Stay safe out there, and drive off the top half of your tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, very late getting home.  I’m writing this about five hours after I’d normally finish writing a post.  Enjoy.

 

Meme

I had a plan on the post, but forgot it when it was time to write it, but then remembered too late.  The bonus?  You get these memes instead.  Some of these (the longer text one on the crows, for example) are old favorites of mine.

 

Feeling a bit tired tonight, so here are some memes in place of a proper post.

No podcast until January.  Enjoy the memes!
