It shouldn’t surprise you to find that the Orwellian scenarios we find ourselves grappling with are all related. Ranging from the Afghanistan debacle to the epidemic of train derailments and airline fiascoes to the Biden administration’s schizophrenic response to the violation of our territorial integrity by a flurry of mystery spy and air craft.

It could seem like it’s just a big bunch of bad news all at once. A horrible coincidence of tragedies and accidents and adventurism by the lunatics of the world. Poor Joe Biden, someone might lament, has the bad luck to be president when everything is going to hell. Unless, as I submit to you, all of these things are happening specifically because of the attitude and style and agenda of the woke and malevolent Biden administration.

After the absurdity of the Chinese spy balloon being allowed to traverse the entirety of the United States, we all watched with wonder as Biden transformed from a passive, clueless do-nothing into a clueless, trigger-happy Commander-in-Chief determined to shoot down whatever it was that was flying by.

Finally, after keeping the American people in the dark, Biden held a press conference on Thursday where he simultaneously said the additional three objects shot down were not “believed” to be tied to China or surveillance operations but then confirmed they still have no idea what they were shooting down: “We don’t yet know what these three objects were…These three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research.” In other words, they’re guessing. Meanwhile, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) noted, unsurprisingly, that all 3 objects should be considered “lost.”

Of course.

This manic response reminds one of the Biden administration’s killing of ten civilians in Afghanistan in August 2021, including a longtime worker for a US aid group and seven children, via a drone strike. Biden authorized that attack after being universally condemned for the massacre at the Afghanistan airport during the withdrawal and asserted that the strike prevented another attack on the airport. The Pentagon eventually admitted that “almost everything” asserted by Biden’s defense officials allowing the strike was false.

Making previously unthinkable debacles like this possible is linked directly to a governing narrative focused on culture change, woke politics, critical race theory, and dividing the American people. It’s not about governing at all, it’s not about the truth, or the hard work of diplomacy, ensuring national security, or the reality of facts on the ground. Instead, we see the results of fools obsessed with winning news cycles, covering up mistakes, and creating chaos, while playing word games.

And there’s more. Our transportation sector has been beset by catastrophes under Pete Buttigieg’s non-existent watch. Why? Because he’s a stand-in as much as is Biden. In January, for the first time since September 11, our entire sky was shut down because of computer failures affecting the airlines. The FAA has been focusing on woke language changes apparently instead of the real work of transportation issues and safety.

We all continue to watch the shocking chemical disaster enveloping East Palestine, Ohio, after a tanker train derailed. After ignoring it for ten days, Buttigieg finally acknowledged it in a word-salad tweet saying he was “concerned about the impacts.” The Ohio catastrophe is one of a dozen train wrecks that have happened in just the first 6 weeks of 2023.

Buttigieg, a man who has no business in any job requiring seriousness, experience, or maturity, was AWOL as supply chain crisis unfolded. That disaster continues to this day and is ignored by the media and by the administration.

It is no surprise that our transportation sector is melting down because Buttigieg, the man who is supposed to be the leader of this nation’s massive transportation sector, was hired not because of what he could do but because he fit an Identity Politics slot. In addition to harming this nation, hiring incompetent people who happen to be a minority reinforces a false narrative that minorities don’t have what it takes to govern or lead. This is the height of racism and homophobia, is an illustration of the bigotry of low expectations, and it’s (still) brought to you by the Democratic Party.

Those involved in the Biden administration seem to have realized they’re just part of a frontispiece for a bureaucratically controlled government, and they’re behaving accordingly—Vice President Kamala Harris gets an assignment to be the border czar and she ignores it. Pete Buttigieg is supposed to be in charge of our internal transportation infrastructure and he ignores it. Alejandro Mayorkas is in charge of Homeland Security, including our borders, and he ignores it.

This is the end result of identity politics: Our government using its power to perpetuate a political ideology that is designed to harm this country while turning our culture, values, and national security into a worldwide joke. It also dismisses the value of individuals and destroys optimism, ambition, and trust.

For the Democrats, an agenda of security, economic success, and expansion of quality of life, bizarrely takes several backseats to woke policies. Our military is being unraveled, language vandalized through critical race theory and woke gender policies, our education infrastructure is being transformed into indoctrination centers, and the weaponizing of physical and mental health issues ranging from vaccines to the transgender issue, all destabilizes social cohesion and trust in the establishment.

Keep this in mind, for most of our problems there’s a direct line back to the cancer of identity politics and its leftist woke tumor. Nothing of importance can succeed or even function as long as the leftist woke narrative prevails in the Washington DC bureaucracy, throughout the Democratic Party, and even among some Republicans in the bureaucratic establishment.
