President Biden: Who's in Charge?

At The American Spectator Jack Cashill wonders about who's in charge in the Biden administration. It isn't former President Obama, he writes.

Although clearly immersed in leftism since childhood, even Marxism, he never left the shallow end of the pool. As president, he proved so adept at breaking promises because he did not care deeply enough to ensure those promises were realized. What mattered more was that he be seen striking the right pose, finding the right groove, spinning the right narrative.

Mind you, maybe that is all Obama needs to do to keep us spinning into the abyss.

But Conrad Black, who always hints that he knows a thing or two, writes at American Greatness that

At the midway point of the proverbial first 100 days, there is no indication at all that Biden will resist the pressures from the Left in his party.

As, for example,

The administration appears to be unable to demarcate spheres of influence between the ecological zealots who shut down pipelines.. from the agitations of the Democrats’ traditional supporters in organized labor[.]

Still, he avers,

It is disappointing that the wave of national revulsion that must be rising up from the depths of American public opinion has not broken over the heads of the cancelers, statue-defacers, bigots, defamers of American history, and secular iconoclasts.

This all confirms my suspicion -- based on no evidence at all -- that nobody is in charge in the Biden administration. But, so far, it doesn't need leadership.

For instance, the election steal, thoughtfully documented by Time magazine as the shadow campaign that "saved" the election, didn't need "leadership." Everyone knew what to do and did it.

Of course, there are developing crises, such as the mess at the border, and the economic mess coming down the pike from two years of money printing and giga-deficits and loot and plunder, and the rage of folks whose lives have been trashed by the COVID supremacy.

But none of these developing storms have intensified into an actual political hurricane that blows right across the ruling-class suck-up media narrative. None of these future crises need a brave decision by a strong leader. Not yet.

But that's the point. Everyone in the ruling-class world is doing their little activist thing, having a grand old time, and they will all keep having a grand old time until they hit the wall.

What the wall will be, and what will happen when the hit happens? I have no idea.

But when the proverbial ordure hits the fan that's when the problem of Joe Biden's incapacity becomes a problem for the ruling class.

And an opportunity for the rest of us.

Yeah, that's the point. The fact that there is no leadership at the top of the ruling class is a Good Thing for the rest of us. Because nobody is getting practice at making tough decisions.

So when it's time to make some tough decisions, there won't be anyone in the hot seat ready and seasoned and practiced in the art of tough decision-making.

So the chances are that the ruling class will botch the big decision that it will need to save its bacon.
