Biden’s inept Cabinet shares blame for Biden’s many failures

Liz Peek Articles

Folks, it’s not all Joe Biden’s fault that our nation is in trouble.

His utterly inept cabinet is also to blame.

Let’s start with Janet Yellen.

Yellen, the first female treasury secretary, appeared to be the most seasoned, the best credentialed and least political of all Biden’s cabinet appointees. Not so.

The treasury secretary recently confessed that she blew it on inflation. She didn’t apologize or admit its real cause, but at least she admitted she goofed.

She said, “I think I was wrong then about the path inflation would take … there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy … that I didn’t at the time fully understand.”

Yellen’s pitch is, essentially, that inflation blew in because of completely unpredictable events that no one could have anticipated. Untrue. Most economists agree that the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan spilled too much money into the recovering economy at the same time that we had goods shortages, sparking rising prices.

In fact, a new book out says Yellen agreed with Larry Summers, who warned that Biden’s spending spree would have just that effect, and argued for a smaller American Rescue Plan. Though she denies that account, it rings true. In other words, she knew better. Far from being the intellectual anchor of this administration, Yellen turns out to be yet another shill for Democrats’ left-wing policies.

Next up: Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas, the first Latino in that role, who has permitted the worst-ever assault on our southern border, failed to deliver a plan to confront the crisis and who lied to Congress when he claimed our “border is secure.”

On Mayorkas’ watch, 1.2 million people have been apprehended trying to enter the U.S. illegally in the past seven months, of which nearly half a million were from countries other than Mexico or the northern triangle of Ecuador, Guatemala and El Salvador. The vast majority of those people are single adults – not families fleeing poverty, and the total includes 40 men on the terror watch list.

Under Mayorkas, deaths due to drug overdoses topped 100,000 for the first time ever, the vast majority (71,000) from fentanyl, imported from China and Mexico across our southern border.

Mayorkas whined to a censorious Congress last year that he worked “18 hours a day.” When Republicans take back control of the House this fall, they should impeach him and let him catch up on his beauty sleep.

Next up: Pete Buttigieg, the first gay secretary of Transportation, who has been Biden’s invisible point guy responsible for smoothing our supply chains. As his reward for disappearing during our clogged-ports crisis (he took a months-long parental leave last summer after adopting twins with his husband), he is now in charge of $660 billion of the White House’s infrastructure program, which he can dispense around the country in politically helpful ways.

A recent interview with New York Magazine opens with Pete scoffing: “I don’t think it’s an accident that the last time fascism was fashionable in certain corners of this country’s political class, one of the things they said for Mussolini is he made the trains run on time — it was a transportation example…”

So, efficiency is a step toward fascism? Good news for Buttigieg: he has yet to take that first step.

As to what he has accomplished, even a fawning reporter who describes Buttigieg as “on everyone’s shortlist of possible presidential contenders” seems to struggle. Pete defends the White House’s performance saying, “We’re doing a lot.”

Then there’s Jennifer Granholm, second woman to serve as energy secretary, whose credentials for the job appear to be that she has swallowed Biden’s climate agenda hook, line and sinker, and especially his affection for electric vehicles. It certainly wasn’t her deep understanding of U.S. energy markets.

Early on, as she announced a planned withdrawal of oil from our Strategic Energy Reserve, a reporter asked the obvious question: how much oil does the U.S. consume? Astonishingly, she had no idea.

She also apparently knows nothing about U.S. oil production or how world energy markets work. Last fall, shifting the blame for rising oil prices, she claimed that “OPEC controls more than 50% of the petroleum supply.” That was not true then, or now. The EIA, which Granholm oversees, reports that OPEC supplied at the time less than 35% of global oil output. Moreover, the U.S. is the world’s biggest producer of oil.

Granholm’s official bio page echoes the Left’s claim that “There is no greater challenge facing our nation and our planet than the climate crisis,” even as Russian President Vladimir Putin obliterates a European country, China threatens its neighbors and COVID-19 kills millions.

Granholm’s grandiose green plans were doubtless a hit in the faculty lounge at University of California, Berkeley, where she taught; that’s where they, and she, belong.

We must not neglect Attorney General Merrick Garland, who thinks that parents protesting the woke indoctrination of their children constitute a domestic terror threat

Or our first black Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who deserves special mention for his oversight of one of the most catastrophic military events in our nation’s history – the horrifically mismanaged pull-out from Afghanistan. That chaotic event resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers and scores of Afghans and left our enemies with $7 billion in war materiel.

And we can’t resist calling out Deb Haaland, first Native American interior secretary and another climate zealot, who should be recognized for having blocked new oil and gas leasing in the midst of an energy crisis … even in defiance of a judge’s order. Quite simply, she is making matters worse.

Space does not permit acknowledging all of Biden’s C-team. We conclude by noting that on the White House website it says: “President Biden’s Cabinet reflects his pledge to appoint leaders of government agencies that reflect the country they aim to serve.”

Sorry, but I think our country is better than that.

Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

Our planet is on fire, and this extremist Supreme Court has destroyed the federal government’s ability to fight back.

This radical Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis, and we can’t let them have the last word.

Inflation already hurting Americans, and Biden's Build Back Better will make things even worse

Are you better off than you were two years ago? That’s what Republicans will ask voters a year from now.

Inflation is worldwide and COVID induced.

Swamp Think

Peek's article posted today on the Fox News website did not mention one word about President Trump's accomplishment of not only leading the way to American Energy Independence but for the country to become net exporters of the energy we and our allies could really use now.

Under President Trump, oil was in the low 40s (while on the same page, oil traders are now predicting as high as $200/barrel this month!), gas in our tanks cost below two bucks, inflation was under two percent and gas station attendant Putin with an economy about the size of Italy's and who is totally dependent on the price of energy was placed in an economic cage… by President Trump.

Instead Peek gives credit to media Saint Obama for his "all the above" strategy which consistent with how he operated was all campaign talk with ZERO follow through.

Does Peek not remember that Saint Obama's response to Putin invading Crimea was to send blankets.

If you want a quick read on Swamp Think, check in with Fox News.

From the Murdoch boys and Paul Ryan on down, no one is pushing the self-serving, elite globalists agenda of running the world as their personal piggy bank harder than Fox News.

And how are the globalists doing at managing world affairs?

No Trump, No Trump Doctrine

There's a growing rumble, by the minute, from people all over the planet who are suddenly missing Trump's policies, not necessarily Trump.

First, Trump's policies, domestic and foreign, were clear and common-sense driven which is anathema to the Swamp control freaks who thrive on complication and confusion to mask their real agendas and who they're really working for.

Second, the hypocrites who are now lamenting Trump's policies are the same, domestic and foreign, who fought Trump every inch of the way to prevent the implementation of policies that clearly worked.

Third, without Trump the fighter, no Trump policies would have ever seen the light of day.

And without what is now collectively the Trump Doctrine, what clear metric would we have to truly understand the depth and devastation of the Biden/Swamp debacle?

Don't you know that the global supply chain story is done on purpose for there to be empty shelves at the grocery stores and what not to screw with the public. This is done by the world economic Forum with the likes of Klaus Schwab Bill Gates and George Soros and their ilk

YOU are the delusional personality, dear. Sticking it against the US to please 🖕trump and putin. Disgusting anti American.

Maybe Liz you would support some immigration reform , you bitch about not having enough servers in your entitled selfish world , oh and you are against mask wearing too , how trumpian of you, the pandemic is all a hoax to you , just dont get sick out there might not be any hospital beds for you . The drs and nurses are sick and tired of taking care of anti mask anti vax selfish repubs Go claim your Darwin Award .

Progressives got hammered on Election Day- but that was only the latest big defeat. What does this mean for Dems? Can Joe pivot? (spoiler-probably not)

Liz Peek: Progressives' drubbing opens door to (unlikely) Biden pivot, changing of the guard

They may not know it yet, but the ultra-liberal cabal that has choked Democrat politics and humiliated spineless party leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has lost its mojo.

Joe Biden wanted to be an historic president- and he has done that. Worst ratings slide of any president since WWII.
He (or whoever is running WH) doesn’t care about voters’ top issues – instead Team Biden obsessing about climate change, gender and race.
No wonder he’s in trouble!

Liz Peek: Biden vs. Americans – his priorities, like climate change, ignore top worries of most voters

Voters are worried about inflation, jobs, crime, education and our open border, while the Biden White House is laser-focused on climate change, transgender rights, racism and reducing inequality.

The great days turned to very bad days in less than a year.
Congress needs a flip to GOP next year to stop the craziness

Climate change is important.
The GOP may not care about it now, but their children will.
He is trying to get an infrastructure bill through.
He has had issues with Afghanistan, but what else could he do
The people who are taking over Afghanistan were released by the previous administration.
I am sure that Biden is not perfect but he is better than Trump.

Your bias is ridiculous. Makes you a bad writer. Btw avg teacher pay is way above 31000. Sensationalize much?

worst ratings only from a side thats ignorant to the truth. the effects of coming off a pandemic with oil companies profitting off the pumps in order to pay their shareholders back from profits lost. inflation effects the entire world but of course your base doesnt pull their heads out their asses for one second to look around and use common sense. keep spreading bullshit and weakening our country til it no longer functions as a democracy….bc i see through your fake Christian patriotic pow wows. you are the opposite of ehat you claim and you are the definition of what you claim your rivals are. deflection, projection, hypocrisy. 3 words that sum you up
