Joe Biden is conducting a master class in failure management. He manages to fail at each and every thing he tries. In addition, sometimes it looks like God is making sure everyone knows. The latest example is the major storm dumping feet of snow and frigid temperatures all along the East Coast, something sure to be blamed on global warming. Few people, shoving mountains of snow will buy that. But perhaps the most visible example was that bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, just before a scheduled Biden visit.

Biden, of course, tried to seize the day and argue this is why his infrastructure bill was so vital. But this bridge wasn’t even on the list.

It sure seems like we are always paying extra taxes for some kind of infrastructure project, only to find that the money has been spent elsewhere, on things we did not want and did not need. The following twitter feed argues that funds were available to fix this bridge, but they were spent elsewhere. I have not been able to confirm this and the MSM certainly isn’t reporting this, but this seems, well, predictable.
It isn’t only the bridge that collapsed. Unfortunately, this administration is setting a new standard for failure. Now we have the incredible situation where the arrogant announcement by President Biden, that he would appoint a black female to be the next Supreme Court Justice, just backfired big time. A recent poll showed that an astonishing 75% of people think this is the wrong way to choose a Supreme Court Justice. If this was intended to stop or at least slow down the coming Republican wave, it is likely to only add fuel to the fire.
They often say that a team is in serious trouble when the coach has lost the locker room. That is when the people who have to play the game no longer trust the person in charge. That is a fundamental problem. Today a video was leaked showing a heated exchange between Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas and Border Patrol Agents. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tried, and failed, to control the exchange.

The Border Patrol Chief has lost the locker room. The Biden Administration is perilously close to losing the country. When your fan base is reduced to the usual suspects on CNN, there is little left.
When this happens, losing is inevitable, but so is change. Sometimes the team that wins the championship is the team that stunk up the field the prior year. But that only happens when there is change, major change. From the period 1900 to 1990, no MLB team ever went from last to first. Since 1990 it has happened 13 times. There a lot more teams now but in most cases, it is because when a team reaches rock bottom, they have no choice but to start clawing their way back up. If the country has not hit the bottom now; it will be there before summer. The international situation(s) in Ukraine, Taiwan and North Korea are unlikely to end well. Gas prices will go up, supply shortages will get worse, the homeless problem will get worse, the crime problem will get worse, and COVID mismanagement is guaranteed.
Every time Joe Biden surfaces and attempts to read a TelePrompter speech or answer pre-staged questions, it gets worse. This is what happens when you start with a dumb, serial liar, and add in dementia. Not exactly a formula for success.
Change is already on the way. Ready or not, it is coming. The question is whether or not we have already gone a bridge too far.
