The Civil War Rages In D.C., by T.L. Davis

Some of the main battles of the recently commenced Civil War 2.0 will be fought in the pages of the Federal Register. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:

The problem with civil war is not many people remember the beginning, only the end. So, when it comes to another one approaching, no one looks out and whispers to themselves, “oh no.” The moment passes by in silence until one day, the civil part of the civil war comes to a crashing halt and the kinetic part breaks onto the scene in the form of burning vehicles on the way to town and bodies, rotting bodies, with no particular designation or affiliation attributed to them that would show they belong to one tribe or another. Maybe, their deaths were not associated with the civil war, but the lack of law enforcement made it exceedingly easy to get away with murder. Maybe there aren’t even sides anymore, just killing to rid some undesirable from the neighborhood.

That all of this is harmful to the people doesn’t even register on The Bidens’ list of concerns, much less at the top.

Couched in environmental concerns, stopping offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is a disaster, if for no other reason that it doesn’t stop other nations from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, it just hurts the U.S. Just like shutting down coal plants in America, causing people to suffer brownouts during peak demand, doesn’t stop any of the coal plants being constructed in China or India, the two worst offenders of climate policy. Climate policy, if not invented by the Chinese, still works to their great advantage, because it cripples other nations, makes them less independent, less militarily capable, bankrupts industries and makes them vulnerable to cyberwarfare against an already weakened grid.
