God is all about diversity. Just go to the zoo, and you’ll see. Wouldn’t you have loved to listen to the Godhead on Day Six? “Let’s make this one spotted … and this one striped … and a long neck on this one.”
The earth’s surface is also quite diverse: Oceans, mountains, rainforests, deserts and Arctic tundra.
Even the foods we eat are diverse in taste, nutrients, shapes and color.
And ever since God scattered the human race at the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:8), our different environments and varying gene pools, through more than four millennia, have made us incredibly diverse in many respects. We come in a variety of colors, hair colors, shapes, sizes, personalities, languages and fingerprints.
Diversity can be a good thing. But there’s something terribly wrong with the president of the United States (admittedly) using it as the highest priority to fill the highest positions in our government. Qualities like competence, leadership, decision-making, problem solving and IQ have been completely thrown out the window. And the American people are paying an enormous price in every way.
Kamala Harris
Start with Kamala Harris—the first female/Black/Asian vice-president. And of course, they made sure she was sworn in by the first Latino Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, using a Bible that belonged to Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice. Any or all of that would be fine if it weren’t such a cult-like obsession with this administration.
But it’s hard to imagine a less competent vice president. In 1988, Lloyd Bentsen famously said to Dan Quayle, “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” I say, “Vice President, you’re no Dan Quayle … or any other vice president we’ve had.”
As “border czar,” she’s failed miserably, allowing the worst invasion of our southern border in U.S. history. She’s never even been there. Flying to El Paso for a photo op and authentic Mexican food doesn’t count. That wasn’t where the problems were.

Katanji Brown Jackson
Biden’s pick for Supreme Court justice to replace Breyer was Katanji Brown Jackson, who was celebrated as the first Black woman on the high court. But when pressed by Sen. Blackburn, R-Tenn., she couldn’t define “woman.” She replied, “No, I can’t … I’m not a biologist.” That question was so simple that most first graders could answer it. Yet Brown was either too dense or too radically woke to answer the question. And frankly, I’m not sure which of those two possibilities is more dangerous in a position that’s supposed to call balls and strikes according our laws and The Constitution.
Piers Morgan tweeted. “Ridiculous … I’m not a brain surgeon, but I know what a brain is.”
Sara Carter responded, “Wow, our WOKE world has come to this that an educated woman can’t even define herself.”
The sad thing is that any sense of achievement for the Black community in this appointment is somewhat quashed by Biden’s pre-determined “skin color box” to check. As far as I’m concerned, it should carry an asterisk like Roger Maris’ home-run record did for 30 years because she only had to beat out roughly 12% of all U.S. judges and lawyers who happened to be Black.
Karine Jeane-Pierre
White House Press Secretary Karine Jeane-Pierre is clearly in over her head and a worse gaffe machine than her boss. But at least she’s the first Black and LGBT person in that position.
She referred to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “Judge Thompson.”
She awkwardly flips through her notebook trying to find an answer and then often concludes, “I don’t have anything on that.”
Here’s a painful-to-watch compilation that sums up in two minutes just how incompetent Jeane-Pierre really is.
Pete Buttigieg
Our transportation system is in the worst shambles in modern history, but at least we have the first gay secretary of transportation.
At the peak of the worst supply-chain crisis in my lifetime, including dozens of ships stranded off the West Coast, the Canadian truckers’ protest and persisting flight delays (while allowing illegal immigrants to fly strictly on arrest warrants), Buttigieg took a maternity leave. But wait, Pete, you didn’t have the baby! Maternity leave is largely to give a woman time to heal from the intense labor and delivery of the child. The only “delivery” Buttigieg could have experienced that day was from Uber Eats.
That was such an insult to women, Mr. Secretary, and you should ask some women what real motherhood is all about (Hint: Don’t ask Jackson).
While mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Buttigieg couldn’t even fix the potholes in the streets of his city. In 2019, the South Bend Tribune reported that the city had the “worst pothole situation in the state.” I guess Biden hasn’t read about that “Parable of the Talents” thing (Matt. 25).
Rachel Levine
The scariest Biden appointment of all is Rachel Levine, a man (born Richard Levine) who dresses like and pretends to be a woman. He is the assistant secretary of Health and Human Services. Had Bernie Madoff been placed over the U.S. Treasury, it wouldn’t have been any more bizarre.
According to The National Pulse, Levine has given lectures on how to perform sex changes on children since at least 2012.
He has also warned about the dangers of going through “the wrong puberty.” You know, as in God messed up, so you’d better fix it. He’s lectured parents on letting their children decide what gender they are. Well, some of those kids are still trying to figure out if they want to be Batman or Spider-Man.
But “trans” box: Check!
Janet Yellen
Janet Yellen said for months that the inflation was “transitory.” Even we average folks with some common sense knew that wasn’t right after they dumped over a trillion bucks into the system and crippled our domestic energy supply.
But hey—we have the first female secretary of the treasury.
She later admitted she was wrong, noting, “There have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy … [that] I, at the time, didn’t fully understand, but we recognize that now.”
Secretary Yellen, none of that was “unanticipated” to conservative and liberal economists alike or even to most of us rank and file. We did “fully understand” it back then. Oh well, never mind something so frivolous as the U.S. economy. Congrats on being the first woman!
Lloyd Austin
Another first: Lloyd Austin is the first Black Secretary of Defense. Congratulations! But the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan was possibly the worst foreign policy blunder in our military’s history.
He has gone full “woke” in our military, even appointing a “chief of diversity and inclusion” of our special forces like the SEALS and Delta Force, who has compared Trump to Hitler and promoted Black Lives Matter propaganda.
I’m not against diversity. After all, we believers are “all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28b). There were plenty of Trump appointments who were minorities, female and gay. The difference was they were competent. Trump’s priority was to find the best qualified individuals and let the “diversity” chips fall where they may. That’s true color blindness.
