A Cabinency of Dunces - Victor Davis Hanson

American Greatness

The common denominator to these Biden appointees is ideological rigidity, nonchalance, and sheer incompetence.  

As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success. 

A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Joe Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges. 

But one area of agreement is the sheer craziness of Biden’s cabinet appointments, who have translated his incoherent ideology into catastrophic governance. 

 

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has essentially nullified federal immigration law. Over 2 million foreign nationals have illegally crossed the southern border without audit—and without COVID vaccinations and tests during a pandemic. 

Mayorkas either cannot or will not follow federal law. 

But he did create a new Disinformation Governance Board. To head his new Orwellian Ministry of Truth, he appointed Nina Jankowicz—an arch disinformationist who helped peddle the Russian collusion, Steele dossier, and Alfa Bank hoaxes. 

While Jankowicz’s adolescent videos and past tweets finally forced her resignation, Mayorkas promises that his board will carry on.

 

In the days before the recent Virginia election, grassroots parent groups challenged critical race theory taught in the schools. 

In reaction and under prompts from teachers’ unions, Attorney General Merrick Garland directed both the FBI and the Justice Department to establish a special task force apparently to “investigate threats” from parents against school board members. 

The FBI recently has been knee-deep in political controversies. It illegally doctored a FISA application to entrap an American citizen. Its former directors, under oath before Congress, either claimed faulty memory or admitted lying to federal investigators. 

The last thing a scandal-plagued FBI needed was to go undercover at school board meetings to investigate parents worried over their childrens’ education.

Anyone ever consider 1. This Cabinet Is the modern Democratic Party? That all the chaos is part of their plan? lets think back in time. Remember The Carter Years? Bombings Violence, inflation, recession? Afterr The McGovern disaster, many of the New left cleaned themselves up and started infiltrating Academia, Business, The Democratic Party and rising through the ranks, they got rich and influential, stated bring other like minded people along. And and 50 years later here we are. OTOH maybe the Democrats always were this way ad were just better at hiding it (just a thought)?

I believe Joe made a Deal. The deal was he gets to be President (a life long dream), sit in the Oval Office, ride on Air Force One, give speeches from behind The Great Seal. In return he will do what he is told. Remember he is a Democrat and thus aligned with Progressives.  Who is really In Charge?

I could Be Wrong.

As for The Disinformation Governance Board.  Officially it may be gone. unofficially...well that may very well be a different story.
