The inevitable result of poor leadership is failure and, at times, disaster. This is precisely what is happening under the inept, self-serving, bumbling leadership of President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a trio of Democrat misleaders. Democrat “leadership” failures to date include an out-of-control southern border, a weakened and inflated economy, a national crime wave, loss of energy independence, inept COVID response, the Afghanistan travesty and cowardice before Russia, Communist China, Iran and North Korea. The Democrat’s trio of misleaders fail even the most basic leadership tests. At no time in our lives has the United States been more poorly led than during the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer era.
Good leaders come in all shapes and sizes, both sexes and various political persuasions, but they all share several characteristics: a unifying vision, integrity, positive change agency and a willingness to accept blame and share credit. To be an effective leader, one must have a worthy, unifying vision people from different backgrounds can rally around, a vision uniting a diverse nation. The Biden-Pelosi-Schumer vision of a socialist nanny state drowning in debt, steadily losing ground to China both economically and militarily, overrun by illegal immigrants, a laughingstock to our enemies and an untrustworthy partner to our allies not only fails to unify but it has resulted in nothing but division and discord.
Not only have the Democrat misleaders failed to unite Americans — more than 70 million reject their socialist vision — they have failed to unify their own party. Moderate Democrats running for reelection in November 2022 are doing everything they can to distance themselves from the left-wing ideologues who control the president. To date, more than 20 Democrats in the House of Representatives have chosen not to run for reelection.
The most important quality of good leaders is integrity. Followers want to trust their leaders. In fact, they won’t willingly follow leaders they don’t trust. Biden, Pelosi and Schumer fail the integrity test as badly as anyone ever has. This is why the Democrat troika continues to insist on vaccine mandates. Trusted leaders are able to inspire people to accept new ideas and new programs, but untrusted misleaders must resort to the methods of tyrants: coercion, threats and mandates. Much of the opposition to vaccines results from free people rejecting the bullying of misleaders they don’t trust. If Biden, Pelosi and Schumer were trusted by the American people, vaccination rates would be much higher, even without unconstitutional mandates.
Another distinction of good leaders is their ability to be positive agents of change. Leaders make changes good for the country even if they are not advantageous politically. The tyrannical trio have made a lot of changes, but their changes have been driven by self-serving political objectives, not what is best for America. This phenomenon is evident in their politically motivated decisions to eliminate policies from the previous administration that were benefitting Americans of all stripes: gaining control of the southern border, creating a booming economy, giving America the highest employment rate in decades, making our country energy independent and increasing U.S. security by bolstering the morale and readiness of the military.
A final characteristic of good leaders is willingness to accept blame for failures while sharing credit for successes. The score for the president, speaker of the House and Senate majority leader on this criterion is so low it falls off the chart. Their entire political platform is based on blaming the previous administration for problems they created. Real leaders understand once they take the helm, responsibility for steering the ship rests with them. Constantly blaming the previous administration instead of setting a positive course for our nation is the strategy of losers, not leaders.

This traitorous, dishonorable, dishonest, non-credible, immoral, socialist Democrat Party has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
To modify a quote of Churchill..
Never have so many been ruled, by so few, who have NO BRAINS amongst them all!
Biden, Pelosi and Schumer, the three horsemen of the Democrat apocalypse. When you control all houses of power and the executive as well, when things begin to unravel, all you can point at is someone in your own party for the reason, and the failure of their political ideology rapidly gets revealed. At the rate they are destroying their own party now, we should have given them all three branches of government years ago and by now they would have all been thrown out and their political pandemic of incompetency would have run its course. Trump showed that nothing succeeds like success, and like Patton said, America admires a winner:”
“ When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American. – Patton
Biden’s cowardly retreat from Afghanistan proved he is no real American. These three stooges and Chucklehead Schumer’s have all proven that nothing fails like secular socialism, led by people desperate to win at all costs, even if it cost them their integrity or a secure place in heaven.
Moe…Larry…and…Curly..well…maybe Shemp
How is it possible that there are Democrats wanting to distance themselves from the radicals but continue to vote lock-step for the insanity!?
BECAUSE THEY ARE all cowards.. To scared to rock the boat.
Could it be some of the democrats are finally starting to realize that they are being led by a bunch destructive socialist stooges?
IF So.. ITS too little too late.. IMO
They could careless about the country Gus… It’s all about the money…. their all invested in selling out our country for their own financial gain… and like Ituser said… “To scared to rock the boat” and lose the money.
“Biden, Pelosi and Schumer fail the integrity test as badly as anyone ever has.”
Great article, Ollie. It would probably go right over their heads, but every single member of Congress and the Biden administration need to read this.
If they did read this article, they would not understand it.
We’d be better off with curly, moe and larry then these three stooges.
