Unqualified minorities are falling from high positions. Does the fault lie with those who exposed them or the people who put them there in the first place?
What I don't understand is that how can so many - so called intelligent people not see through all of this as you have so correctly written here? I am amazed how people I know who are retired pharmacists and retire Physicians assistants, people I have called friends - can just unfriend me because I do not believe all of the crap the left is spewing?
There are so many intelligent people on both sides of the isle who could do a better job in their sleep than many of these so-called enlightened ones masquerading as politicians. It still bothers me to understand how such stupidity can be elected in the first place.
In my experience, the tragedy of quota-based hiring not only ruins perceptions of qualified professionals, but it can also kill. Before we went to China in August of 2001 we were told we should get a Hepatitis C (I could never remember whether it was B or C, though I consistently did then) vaccination. It required three shots, six months apart. We had entered a 6-week training course in Pasadena when the second shot was due. I called the local health department, specifying that we needed the second Hepatitis C injection in the three-shot series. Yes, they could do that and it would be free as part of California's health program. "I want to make sure this is the right shot, the second in the Hepatitis C series," I asked the uniformed attendant when we arrived at the clinic. She gave one of our twins a shot, then I noticed as she was clearing the syringe for the second, that the serum's viscosity was significantly different from that of our first round, which we had received in a doctor's office in Michigan. "Are you sure that's the right serum? The viscosity is wrong." "Sure," she replied, "We give Hep shots all the time." "This is for Hepatitis C, not A, right?" She seemed confused. I asked her to check the package, which gave a lot of medical terms, with which I as a non-medical person had to struggle to pronounce. I gave the package to her to read. She could not read it. I had never heard of such a thing as vaccine injury (This was 1991), but somewhere in the conversation the uniformed attendant let on that this was Hemoglobin (as I recall), and that it was for Hep A (which, I suppose, was common among drug IV users). I was angry, because I knew enough about the Hep C protocol that if someone got a Hemoglobin shot the Hep C series was voided, and would have to start over after a six month delay. I tried to call the health department to complain and ask that that incompetent "nurse" be removed or something, but I never made it through the bureaucracy to anyone who knew anything meaningful. We finished our training and left for China in a couple of weeks, in late August. In late October, one of my twins suddenly threw up for no apparent reason. This is already long, so I will cut to April, 1992, when we finally got diagnosed with an extremely rare Ependymoma. If you recognize that word, I need tell you no more. We only began to hear about vaccine injuries during the Covid injection frenzy. I don't suppose we'll know this side of the Judgment, but I think it's reasonable to suspect that our son might have been an early-on vaccine-injury death, in 1994.

None of the names listed in your write-up have demonstrated self respect or integrity.
Today, folks with such attributes deign not to present themselves for positions of public responsibility -- they would be mocked and scorned. We all need to work to bring sanity and competence back to public life.
My sister and I have asked this question for years. How did so many stupid people get to where they are? We include all races and genders. There are too many completely incompetent ppl in positions that demand competence. Ugh. Double ugh.

Those fifth graders may have been more up to date in their astronomical knowledge than Representative Jackson Lee about that “gassy planet” the Moon.
