Dance of the Duplicitous Dorks

You can fool some of the people some of the time -- and that's enough to make a decent living.” ―W.C. Fields

Of the many traditions that accompany a Democrat administration into the White House, few have been as dependable as a progressive president’s promise to have an administration that “looks like America.” They may think like the Kremlin and govern like the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, but they make up for that by looking like the most kaleidoscopic assemblage of misfits and screwballs this side of the bar scene in Star Wars.

From the little two-legged lightbulb with perpetually surprised eyebrows who held the nation’s borders open with one hand while raising the other to solemnly swear that the border was secure, to the guy placed in charge of the disposition of America’s nuclear fuel and waste but who turned out to also be a cross-dressing kleptomaniac with a penchant for stealing ladies suitcases from airports (while traveling on the taxpayers’ dime), Joe Biden and his Administration looked and acted less like America and more like a traveling nursing home with a mental health annex.

Anyone in the White House Press Corps who had the momentary audacity to suggest to Press Apparatchik Karine Jean-Pierre that the level of mediocrity and abnormality on display neither looked nor acted like America, was treated to a tongue lashing that was, well, ….mediocre. Sometimes the Big Guy himself would gird his glossary and then use up all the insults he could think of on his critics and political opponents. Then, when he couldn’t think of any more crooked and venal words to use on us, he’d flip his vocabulary over and start fresh before turning around to shake hands with the flag and shuffle away while the media’s stenographers and pundits purred approvingly. Yes, it’s good to see the lot of them lawyer up as they head for the exit.

The next few weeks before President-Elect Trump’s inauguration, however, will be bristling with mischief. As J. T. Young writes in the American Spectator, “Joe Biden is now the most dangerous man in America. He has nothing left to lose and no support remaining but that of America’s far Left.” From pardoning and commuting the sentences of some of the most violent barbarians in the country to attempting to sell off portions of the very wall that was intended to secure America’s borders, Biden and his underlings are giving the finger to the majority of American voters, underscoring the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished.

Theirs is a legacy of stunning contempt, unending ineptitude and catastrophic failures, all carried out with unbridled ideological blindness. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Communications Dork John Kirby got off to a stupendous start in Afghanistan, where they performed a perfect ass-backward retreat, pulling military forces out and leaving billions in US weaponry behind along with American civilians before declaring victory and going home. The Keystone Cops couldn’t have done a better job of screwing things up and announcing America’s unprecedented weakness to the world than this hapless America-Last administration.

So it naturally follows that bad actors, from Iran to China and Russia, would see the irresistible allure of a superpower in decline and act accordingly. Everything from the deaths of 13 American servicemen and women in Afghanistan to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the savage and wholesale slaughter of Jews on October 7th, 2023, by Hamas barbarians funded by Iran, Chinese mischief, and the use of American naval forces as sitting ducks in the Mediterranean Sea, all flow from the singular and awful decrepitude of Joe Biden and his national defense apparatus which was more interested in pronouns and DEI than in projecting American strength and deterrence.

The cancerous ideological suicide pact known as DEI infected nearly every aspect of American life, culture and professions as major corporations stepped all over themselves in a rush to alienate their customers base, while public safety took a back seat to the release of violent criminals to prey on American communities. Even one’s political affiliation could determine whether or not FEMA assistance was rendered following a natural disaster. Then, for reasons known only to God, Joe Biden and Director of Homeland Security Elmer Fudd thought it would be a smashing good idea to throw open the border for every malcontent, terrorist, gang member and violent criminal in the world to storm into the country and unleash fresh hell on American cities and citizens. Next, as icing on the cake, they first lied and said the border was secure before recalibrating the lie so as to tell us that the situation wasn’t as bad as our own eyes could see.

Finally, following the election, Biden nearly disappeared from the stage before he resurfaced to pardon his son, breaking his promise to the Americans yet again. From bringing inflation up to a 40-year high, to presiding over the decline of American, sovereignty, security and prestige, Joe Biden’s legacy will go down as one of utter failure matched only by his administration’s disdain for the American people themselves.

Again, from J. T. Young, in the American Spectator:

Biden is playing to an audience of one. What can he still do to retain the backing of the far left?

Shoveling more money out the door? Doing it. Burrowing in partisans to undermine Trump? Doing it. Try once more to forgive student debt? Doing it. Just recently we saw his commutations of heinous criminals.

What comes next? Aiding state and local efforts in their fights to oppose Trump?

We’ve watched Joe Biden epitomize Winston Churchill’s observation of another man who, before doing something, had no idea what he was going to do; when engaged in the activity, didn’t know what he was doing; and when he finally sat down, didn’t know what he had done. The next few weeks will be perilous as this conga line of duplicitous dorks makes their way off the stage to prepare a legal defense, where necessary, and recede into the warm comfort of the faculty lounge where nothing is too ludicrous as long as it doesn’t come into contact with reality. In the meantime, we can take solace that the end of the madness is in sight.
