Homeland Security, Alejandro N Mayorkas, plans to stem the expected flood? The migrants are already coming in at record numbers. If 42 goes, the numbers will snowball.

So far, the secretary has distinguished himself by unfairly accusing his border patrol of whipping migrants and proposing a group to stop what the department considers “misinformation.”     

The Biden Administration failed to rein in the teacher’s unions, especially in blue States, leading to further educational losses. Secretary of Education Miguel Gardonna resides on the unions’ side rather than the children. So far, he has done nothing to address learning loss and curriculum problems. Kids trying to learn at home led Parents to find things taught they consider out of line. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted his growing reputation as one of the political cabinet members by threatening parents as terrorists for expressing disagreement at a school board meeting. Even though we are experiencing the worst crime upsurge in decades, the nation’s top law enforcement officer is strangely absent. 

Eric Lander has flown so far under the radar I forgot we ever had a Presidential Science Advisor and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. All we hear is how China is outpacing us in science and technology. Russia and China have hypersonic missiles. We don’t. Where is Mr. Lander?

Our present baby formula crisis is a staff failure. In programs like the West Wing or Madame Secretary, the Chief of Staff appears to be the ringmaster of the executive circus. The person that’s supposed to coordinate everything. Somebody had to see how FDA actions and trade policy could result in endangered babies, but Ron Klain was asleep at the switch on this and many other things.

I included all the names to look them up and decide for yourself if you consider them a positive in their position. To me, this is the least accomplished group ever.

If you put a group of bright competent people together, probably something worthwhile will result. Put people together to fill some group slots, and maybe you will get a good photo. If you think I’m harsh, look at what they’ve done or not done. What have they accomplished to improve the nation’s performance?

Diversity can mean many things. Race, sex, sexual or religious preference is one kind of diversity, but if they all adhere to the same dogma, there is little or no diversity of thought. This limits ideas and choices. Is this a way to achieve the best results?

Recently a California superior court judge struck down a state law requiring diversity on corporate boards. This ruling followed an earlier order blocking the need to appoint members of underrepresented groups to corporate boards. The courts held the State failed to show how in either case would improve economic performance. If diversity does nothing to enhance performance, these cases caused me to ask, why did it influence president Biden’s cabinet appointments? Could his idea of diversity impede his government’s performance? Did we get one kind of diversity rather than capable people?

The photos and biographies of the 15 department heads and the nine cabinet-level appointees show a varied group. Unfortunately, the mixture hasn’t produced anything close to success. The President’s team may look good, but it can’t put points on the board.

The national security section of the cabinet set an early standard of ineptitude. Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III joined with the Director of National intelligence Avril Haines to produce the disastrous Afgan withdrawal. Not satisfied with that failure, this bunch failed to get sanctions and needed armament to Ukraine before the Russian invasion. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield cannot bring about meaningful U.N. action.

We’ll never know if our incomprehensible Afgan withdrawal encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine, but it seems likely. Our policy of doing nothing meaningful until after Russia acted prevented nothing. You can’t stop what has already taken place. These geniuses felt Ukraine was doomed, so it wasn’t worth the effort. How did they get things so wrong? 

After a four-decade respite, inflation is again destroying the fabric of American life. Inflation is when too many dollars chase too few goods. The Biden economic team of the Secretaries of Treasury, Janet Yellen, Commerce Gina Raimondo, Office of Management and Budget acting Director Shalanda Young, and the Chair of the White House council of economic advisors, Cecilia Rouse, all were behind the almost two trillion dollar package. Democratic financial gurus Lary Summers and Jason Furman warned would be highly inflationary. They went ahead with this massive increase in demand on top of a rapidly recovering economy already loaded with money. 

Containing inflation with this deluge of dollars depends on rapidly increasing supply. Fuel, food, housing, essential minerals, and manufactured goods needed immediate attention. Supply chain dislocations due to the pandemic only add to the problem. The Secretaries of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, Labor, Marty Walsh, Housing and Urban Development, Marsha L. Fudge, Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Energy, Jennifer M Granholm, Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Isabel Guzman, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, all have a part to play. To date, all have failed. Can anyone point to significant action to increase supply by anyone or collectively has taken? Vilsack has proposed double cropping, but that is a dangerous practice dependent on fuel and fertilizer, which are expansive or in short supply.

People forget deregulation’s significant part in ending the prior great Inflation under Reagan. Regulation is exploding under the Biden administration. Every one of these people has expanded dictates. Time is money, and rules take more time, adding to costs and rising prices.

The Covid Epidemic led to dislocations, especially in places with longer stricter lockdowns. Confusion on vaccines, masks, and gatherings has followed the appointment of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. The discredited Dr. Fauci is still the face of the Covid Team. This lack of clarity and trust does nothing for us.

Becerra also has failed to deal with the exploding mental health and drug problems resulting from the lockdowns. Even though veterans are significantly affected, the Secretary of Veteran Affairs, Denis Mcdonough, isn’t heard of with any plan.

Covid gave rise to the Title 42 rule, used to turn back undocumented migrants at our southern border. The CDC and the administration have moved to rescind the order. Has anybody heard how the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N Mayorkas, plans to stem the expected flood? The migrants are already coming in at record numbers. If 42 goes, the numbers will snowball.
