Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Failure and Guns

“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.

  1. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
  2. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
  3. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
  4. 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

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.

35 thoughts on “Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Failure and Guns”

  1. Conspicuously absent from the narrative is the fact that most of these “kid” shooters were on SSRI cocktails. A fact that will be ignored by a complicit MSM and their $5B (with a “B”) annual big pharma ad revenues.

    1. Recently had dinner with a friend of mine who was prescribed Prozac when she was in high school. Got to the point where she thought she was a “snow demon” and was ripping her clothes off outside in the dead of winter. Faculty had to restrain her.

      We’ve been way too liberal in prescribing kids stuff like that.

    2. Talk about entering a hall of mirrors. Correlation does not mean causation, so first problem – do depressed people pick up a gun AND prescribed pills or a gun BECAUSE of pills?

      Typical “pro” article:

      https://thoughtcatalog.com/jeremy-london/2019/09/37-mass-shooters-who-were-on-antidepressants/

      https://www.psychreg.org/antidepressants-ssri-mass-shootings/

      Typical “con” articles :

      https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/aug/16/whats-behind-dubious-claim-psychiatric-drugs-fuel-/

      https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31513302/

      Just the facts, ma’am (with no filter for antidepressant use, sigh):

      https://www.theviolenceproject.org/mass-shooter-database/

      1. Correlation does not mean causation

        Unless you’ve invented an extradimensional triangular window into the zookeeper’s mind, correlation is all we’ve got. So 1) do you have a plausible mechanism for causality? (yes, the black box warning on the SSRI drug insert says so), and 2) can you make this correlation end by disrupting the plausible mechanism? (the modern rate of school shootings started when SSRIs hit the market)

        Original: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch%27s_postulates
        Updated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_pathogenesis

    3. That is when a *lot* of the behavior started. I’ve seen some kids that were so drugged up that it was like talking to someone on another planet . . .

  2. Overheard on the teevee while fixing morning coffee, the hard life of a gay retarded alcoholic who tells all in a “smutty” book.
    Then they actually asked the local melting chamber pot of muh democracy comrades to put down their guns after a parking lot shootout in what used to be a high end fashion mall on the money side of town up North.
    The double digit IQ teleprompter Bolshevik enemedia maggot actually said that the police “viewed” the shootout.
    Stick a fork in this abomination of desolation Chiquitastan and that is a feature and not a bug.

    1. Yup, when people who should be filled with courage are cowards . . . nothing good happens.

  3. Ongoing events may make more sense when viewed through the lens of 5GW warfare. Good reference is: The Handbook of 5GW Warfare (Abbott et al)

  4. “The reason that we haven’t had another hijacking after 9-11 …”. “It’s because the American people on those airplanes finally recognized … the defense of your family and your own life is your responsibility,”
    I’m confused. How does this prevent hijacking of planes? I can’t take a weapon on the plane to defend myself. TSA makes sure of that. Did I miss something?

    1. I have a long-standing non-fatal plan for dealing with a hijacker that requires only four other passengers for restraint and a that ****** plastic picnic knife from the lunch box….

    2. The plane that went down against schedule because the paasengers realized they were going to go anyway, so holding the hijackers ripped open scrotums aloft while doing so was preferable to going out like a buster. That plane failed its mission. Which takes all the fun out of a hijacking.

      All hail Odin

    3. The folks over Pennsylvania stopped that mission. Also, the “shoe bomber” and every other nut has been stopped (mainly) by passengers, don’t know if any Sky Marshalls have stopped anything (they may have, but I don’t have that data).

    4. You demonstrate a failure of imagination.
      Todd Beemer and several other stout lads took down their highjackers on 9/11 with seatbelt extensions, rolled up magazines, and butter knives. The highjackers’ mission was a no-go. The next two or three were literally apprehended or killed with post-9/11 restrictions in place, including one no-bill death-of-highjacker where the attemptee was literally choked and smothered to death by the dogpile of responding passengers. No charges were filed against any of them.
      QED ; Try here, die here.

      Your mind is the weapon, Grasshopper.
      The other things are merely expedient tools.

      If you can’t find ten things in any average room or even aircraft cabin to kill someone with, you simply aren’t trying hard enough.
      Start with your thumbs, and the belt around your middle, and work outwards.

  5. It’s straight out of Obama’s playbook because, it’s obvious that Obama is calling the shots.

  6. It needs a different name. Civil War just sounds too organized for what is more likely to out picture.

  7. Continue to stock up on needful things. Be vigilant. Snitches abound. STFU.

  8. Once anyone realizes that they are fomenting civil strife and open warfare because they think they can win it, everything else makes sense.

    Be the wrench in the monkeyworks.

    1. Or they are useful idiots for the powers that be above them that think destruction and chaos might be a nice way to eliminate America? Nothing like a “rifle behind every blade of grass” shooting at each other.

      Famine wars, once the smoke clears and satellite pictures show no real electricity use how long before the new owners move in?

      Sometimes all you need to “Win” is just to outlast your enemy. Nothing like civil war to shatter an unstable country. Almost as fast as a 9mm q-tip, eh?

      1. We don’t need that here.

        All TPTB need to take out Emperor Poopypants is a set of stairs to Air Force One.

        Advanced Alzheimer’s Proof #117, if you needed it.
        Stairs are like kryptonite to him.
        Much like questions, or the necessity of coherent speech.

        If we’re going to prop Gropy Dopey up for three more years, they may need to buy him an airplane that can land on its belly, and drop a handicapped ramp for him to ascend.
