America’s crisis of ineptitude
By Patricia McCarthy
Only in D.C., can one fail up, be continually promoted for having failed at their previous position. They are appointed for race, class or gender reasons and, more often than not, are inept at their jobs.
Consider Pete Buttigieg, named Transportation Secretary. He has been as absent and totally ineffective as Cheatle — from the East Palestine train disaster, the Baltimore bridge collapse, and the building of E.V. charging stations. Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, could do nothing but laugh Kamala-like when asked when gas prices might come down. Consider Sam Brinton, Biden’s former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy who is a non-binary, cross-dressing luggage thief. Like Buttigieg, he was chosen for his gender identity, a cross-dressing, gay man. And, of course, there is Kamala Harris, selected for her gender and race. Biden pledged to appoint a black woman; her qualifications for the job were clearly not considered. His Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, was chosen for his race; he is partly responsible for the deadly and misguided withdrawal from Afghanistan. Treasury Secretary Yellen was selected for who knows what reason? She, like most of the others, is absolutely clueless on the economy.

Merrick Garland of the DOJ was probably chosen for his malevolent nature, his sheer hatred of all things Trump. For those who have watched hearings at which various cabinet members like Deb Haaland, (Native American, Interior), Gina Raimondo (Commerce), Julie Su (Labor), Jared Bernstein, an economic advisor, Avril Haines (National Intelligence), you know most of them are DEI hires. Jake Sullivan and Antony Blinken are terrible at their jobs; both were dressed down by Xi of China like they were errant toddlers. Both betray Israel. Kamala will too. In short, none of them were appointed for their skill or merit. There is not a worthy one among them. They are all poseurs and their incompetence has brought this country to its knees.
Now Biden has allegedly dropped out of his re-election campaign and has a tad belatedly endorsed the mentally-challenged Kamala Harris who cannot do much of anything but inappropriately laugh uproariously. She would not or could not be elected as dogcatcher in any small town. She has no business being anywhere near a federal government job, let alone vice-president or, God help us, president. If there is to be a debate between Harris and Trump, that will be television viewing for the ages.
