For a while now, I’ve been decrying the trend of Democrats pushing for supposed “experts” to run every facet of the federal government. This has resulted in mediocre bureaucrats and academics being granted extreme power. Although there are many individuals who can fit the description of Dr. Anthony Fauci, none is better than him.
It used to be a joke that the famously obsessed doctor was actually the acting president. Joe Biden has just admitted it, because politics is only one way. That is, our politics is constantly becoming more crazy.

I know, I know, he’s “joking,” but is he really? The evidence seems to be in the opposite direction. Some of the greatest comedy can be found in facts.
Just a few days ago, Biden was pressed on why his new “Africa ban” put in place to combat the new Omicron COVID-19 variant was not being enacted immediately. It was instead, inexplicably, starting the following Monday. But what’s the point of a ban, if you are going to sit around for multiple days letting the virus enter the country anyway?
A normal president would have made that same decision and explained why. Yet, Biden not only had no answer, but he deflected by claiming that the policy was developed by his “medical team,” which just so happens to be led by Fauci. That’s the pattern of Biden’s presidency, unable to ever take responsibility for anything, constantly conceding to unelected bureaucrats who have no business making major policy decisions.
But that’s exactly what’s happening. Per Fox News‘ write-up on Biden’s “joke,” it stemmed from a comment that Fauci is heavily involved in White House affairs.
The President joked that Dr. Anthony Fauci gets so involved with White House matters that it sometimes feels as if he’s the true president.
During an address on the White House’s latest strategy to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Biden opened by applauding Fauci, whom Biden said he sees more than his own wife. Biden joked that Fauci was the true commander-in chief.
“I’ve seen more of Dr. Fauci than I have my wife, we kid each other,” Biden quipped. “Look, who’s president? Fauci!”
This is hilarious. But how did it work out for the country. Has COVID-19 been “shut down” as Biden promised during the 2020 campaign? Fauci’s mandates and lockdowns have not ended the pandemic. Haven’t more people died on Biden’s watch than Trump’s, and that’s with the former having vaccines on day one? Evidently, being involved in such a way hasn’t led to positive outcomes.
CNN anchors might find such things charming. But I find them disturbing. Fauci wasn’t elected to any office. He’s a government apparatchik that has presided over failure after failure. That he’s been so elevated the last year is a testament to just how incapable and unqualified Biden is for his position. Fauci could have been fired in the private industry decades ago. Instead, he’s now basically the President of the United States, and he didn’t have to hold a single campaign event. This picture is not right.
