As we’re watching things in the World spin further and further out of control, I look at who our totally feckless “Commander in Chief” has surrounded himself with, and it’s no wonder that our allies, and our adversaries, are acting as they are. I remember how, less than 3 years ago, there was no question who was recognized as the “World’s Only Superpower”, and it wasn’t just the President, it was the great team that President Trump assembled around him. Even with the ones who went to the dark side at times, as a unit, it was a team of competence.
Today, if you look at the team that President Biden has chosen to be the leaders of the departments of his regime (See here- https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/cabinet/), you get a toss-up between “The Keystone Cops” and “The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight”. All you have to look at are the first five on the list to succeed the President, and you know this is not going to end well. From V.P. Kamala “Knee-pads” Harris, to Sec. Of State, Antony Blinken, to Sec. Of Treasury, Janet Yellen, to Sec. Of Defense, Lloyd Austin, to Attorney General, Merrick Garland, do you really see a single person that you would classify as competent? Now add the rest of the company of Jesters (Sorry for this insult to real Jesters) like Sec. Of Transportation, Mayor Pete “Butt-plug” Buttigieg, or Sec. Of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, or any of the other members of the Cabinet, the largest single thing that ties most of them together is they are “the first” in their ethnic or identity class to serve in the Cabinet.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m good with “diversity”, as long as it is connected to a level of competence for the position being considered. In doing research for this article, I saw very little of this combination. I can’t say that there is a single one of the “first” who are actually qualified by their ability for the position they hold. But they sure are diverse. We have the 1st ever “Female of Color” Vice-President, the 1st ever Native American Sec. Of The Interior, the 1st ever “Non-Binary” Sec of Transportation, the 1st ever Latino Sec. Of Health and Human Services, the 1st ever person to have been both Sec. Of the Treasury AND Chair of the Federal Reserve, and on and on. These folks all have another thing that connects them, none of them really have the qualifications necessary to do their job. Of course, almost none of the other Cabinet Members are qualified, professionally, either. You’d almost think it’s incompetent failure by design?
Now, let’s get back to the five Cabinet Members in the line of succession behind the President-
-
Vice-President Kamala Harris. We know that she’s in this position solely because Joe Biden promised Democrats during the 2020 campaign that he would select a “Woman of Color” to be his V.P. Ms. Harris rose to her place of prominence in the political world of San Francisco as the paramour of former San Fran Mayor, Willie Brown, interestingly the 1stever Black Mayor of the city. Then he helped her get elected District Attorney in 2003, while she was throwing him “under the bus”. Then she used the San Fran political machine to get elected as CA. Attorney General in 2010, where she was a total failure for the people of San Francisco, and California. She then was elected to the U.S. Senate in CA. In 2016 and became the 2nd African-American woman and the 1st South Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate. Then, after calling Biden a racist in a debate, she agreed to be his V.P. Just think about that.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken. While being one of the few members of the Biden Cabinet who appears to have the resume and experience to do his job, he’s been an epic failure. When the “high point” in his time as Sec. Of State is how the Afghanistan “surrender” happened, he has failed on every situation his State Department has been involved in. His position as a supplicant, going to meet with our adversaries, is a total embarrassment in today’s World. We are still the one “Super Power” in the World and our Secretary of State MUST convey that to our adversaries. He’s an epic failure in his position.
-
Secretary of the Treasury Dr. Janet Yellen. As mentioned earlier in this article, Yellen is the 1stever person to have been both Sec. Of the Treasury AND Chair of the Federal Reserve, and has been an operational failure as both. In this important position, she has been a driving force in the fastest and greatest decline in America’s economy in decades, maybe forever. And she continues to push for more government interference in the functioning of the economy. And keeps cheerleading President Biden’s “Brandonomics” as the cure. We need a different economic doctor.
-
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. If this one entry from his Wikipedia page doesn’t tell you all you need to know, that’s on you.“Austin served as the 12th commander of United States Central Command (CENTCOM), beginning in March 2013. Prior to that he served as the 33rd vice chief of staff of the Army from January 2012 to March 2013, and as commander of United States Forces – Iraq from September 2010 to December 2011. He was the first African American to hold each of these positions.” The ultimate “affirmative action” public servant. Nuff said.
-
Attorney General Merrick Garland. One of the two most despicable members of the Biden Cabinet, along with Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. AG Garland has totally undermined the concept of “Equal Justice Under The Law”. He has, single-handed, done more damage to the concept of “Equal Justice Under The Law” than ANY single person in the government, in the history of our Republic. Because of his actions, we’re seeing greater discontent with the U.S. Justice system than any time in our history.
