The Biden Administration is incompetent at everything. There is not one thing they are good at. They have elevated incompetence into an art form, and rely on gaslighting to deflect criticism. But they can’t even do that well.

I’ve written about their inability to gaslight well before, because they rely so heavily on the practice but are so darn incompetent at it. There is something mesmerizing about watching them try, in the way it’s fun to watch videos of people face planting while trying to do tricks on skateboards. I particularly enjoy parkour faceplants, myself.

The MSM, or at least a few members of it, seem to be getting tired of always having to mouth the ridiculous talking points that the Administration thrusts upon them. Most of them comply with the diktats of the Party anyway, but a few are getting embarrassed enough to gently push back.

The primary issue where this is popping up is the crisis at the border. The crisis is just so damn big, the failure so forehead smackingly obvious, and the DeSantis-led pushback so effective that some reporters are just giving up. They have only so much credibility to burn, and the tank is getting empty.

Watch the video. It is funny in the same way that Baghdad Bob was in the Gulf War.

Reporter: 2.4 million people will be detained at the border, and who knows how many more are getting in without being detained. What is the policy?

Mayorkas: “Our policy is to enforce the law.” Really?! Uh…yeah, no. It clearly isn’t.

The Administration is releasing millions of migrants into the border states without batting an eye, but 50 illegal immigrants show up in Martha’s Vineyard and the military is mobilized. The average lobotomy victim understands that none of the powers-that-be want to enforce immigration law. They want to flood the Red states with indigents who need assistance while preserving the quality of life for their own buddies.

That is their policy, and it is clearly consciously thought out. The point is to impoverish their political opponents while virtue signaling to their constituents. They are very consciously harming American citizens and destroying their quality of life as a punishment for failing to vote for them, and to undermine Republican governors by making them deal with a problem at a scale that most nation states crumble under.

Many people expected Joe Biden to be a dime-store Obama retread, and they were absolutely wrong about that. Biden is much, much more radical than Obama, and his Administration is dramatically more incompetent. Obama, for all his many flaws, was a Kennedyesque figure. He was strikingly good looking, elegant, sharp as a tack, and surrounded himself with the best and the brightest. He was everything the elite wanted to be.

And, as with Kennedy, his arrogance led him to cause tremendous harm to the country and leave the world a much less peaceful place. He left disaster in his wake, but looked great doing it.

Biden, though, can’t hold a candle to Obama in any way. He is actually quite stupid, even discounting his current mental decline. He is hardly elegant. He is smooth as sandpaper. And his team has the agility of a 107 year old basketball player using a walker.

And, of course, the disasters he leaves in his wake are epically worse than Obama’s. He destroys everything he touches.

How long will the MSM keep covering for these folks? While we occasionally see cracks in the wall of lies they have built up around Biden, none of those cracks threatens the structural integrity of the wall so far. The commentariat are still so committed to the belief that nothing could possibly be worse than a Republican success in any area of policy that they are willing to say just about anything to protect the ruling elite.

Reporters are at least asking some basic questions, if only because Ron DeSantis and other Republican governors are forcing them to confront the border issue. But nobody has yet forced the Administration to justify their policies and the huge dissonance between what they say and what is happening.

Will that change? We can hope. Hope springs eternal, and all that.

But I am not holding my breath. The occasional pointed question isn’t the same thing as calling out the lies. And I suspect that the MSM will never do that as long as a Democrat is mouthing the lie.
