Why do we seem to be lurching from one crisis to another under this regime?

Why is crime increasing so sharply, especially in Dem cities?
   "Inexplicable."
Why is inflation at a 40-year high, led by $4.50 gas and $6 diesel?
   Everyone claims to be baffled.
Why is the biden regime busing illegal aliens to cities far away from the Mexican border?
   Experts: "There are good reasons."

As the nation sinks into crisis after crisis--all created by stupid policies--many Americans wonder who is actually overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Joe Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges.

Certainly one indicator is the sheer craziness of Biden’s cabinet appointments.  Without exception, they're unbelievably bad--though whether by design or mere incompetence isn't known.

DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas has essentially nullified federal immigration law.  He simply refuses to follow federal law, apparently with biden's full approval. Over 2 million foreign nationals illegally entered the U.S. last year, and the biden regime is on track to smash that record this year.

But Mayorkas 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 hoax, Steele dossier hoax, and Alfa Bank hoax.

"Disinformation" is right.

While Jankowicz’s adolescent videos and past tweets finally forced her resignation, Mayorkas promises that his board is only "paused."

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

Eager to curry favor with the huge teachers’ unions, biden's hand-picked attorney-general Merrick Garland declared that parents were "domestic terrorists," and directed both the FBI and the Justice Department to establish a special task force to investigate any parent who complained at a school-board meeting.

We are in a fuel price spiral that is destroying the middle class. Yet when Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked if she had any plan to lower gas prices, she laughed off the idea--literally laughed--saying that was “hilarious.”

Does this sound like someone who gives a damn about doing everything possible to ensure that Americans have affordable, reliable energy?  Of course not.

Later Granholm preposterously claimed, "Administration policies have had no effect on the supply of energy.”

Does Granholm seriously expect Americans to believe that haranguing banks that to get them to cut lending for drilling, canceling the Keystone-XL pipeline, suspending new federal oil and gas leasing and canceling drilling permits already issued have nothing to do with high fuel prices?

Or consider transportation: For the past nine months or so, supply chain disruptions have been hurting the nation's economy.

The huge Port of Los Angeles has been a mess for over a year. Since last fall dozens of cargo ships have been backed up to the horizon. Thousands of trucks are bottlenecked at the port.

During the mess, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was not at work. Instead at the height of the crisis, he took a two-month paternity leave to help out his husband and two newborn babies.

Such paternal concern is a noble thing.

But Buttigieg is supposed to ensure that life-or-death supplies reach millions of strapped Americans.

This winter, trains entering and leaving Los Angeles were routinely looted in the Old-West style of train robbing—without much of a response from Buttigieg’s transpiration bureau.

In Senate testimony Secretary of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland refused to explain why her department is slow walking federal oil and gas leases at a time Americans are paying between $5 and $6 a gallon for gas.

Haaland was unable to provide simple answers about when new leases will result in more supplies of oil and gas. Her panicked aides slid talking points to her—given that in deer-in-the-headlights fashion, she seemed incapable of providing senators with basic information about U.S. energy production on federal lands.

The United States is sending many billions of dollars worth of sophisticated weapons to Ukraine to combat Russian aggression. We rightly claim it is not a proxy war against Russia but instead an effort to help stop a brutal Russian invasion.

Why then did Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin tell the world the very opposite in a fashion that could only convince Russians that our real aim in Ukraine is to destroy Russia as a superpower?

As Austin put it publicly, “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”

Even if that description of the agenda is true, why broadcast it—given Russia has over 6,000 nuclear weapons and its President Vladimir Putin is increasingly erratic and paranoid?

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

They seem indifferent to the current border, inflation, energy, and crime disasters. When confronted, they are unable to answer simple questions from Congress, or they mock anyone asking for answers on behalf of the strapped American people.
