Asleep at the Wheel

My latest Daily Mail column:

Who’s in charge in Joe Biden’s chaotic administration? Perhaps, no one. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was missing in action — hospitalized in intensive care for four days — and hardly anyone knew. What’s worse: hardly anyone noticed! What a ridiculous mess. It’s not as if the office of Pentagon chief is particularly slow these days. From Israel to the Red Sea, Ukraine to Taiwan, America’s enemies are on the move — yet the most powerful military in the history of the world is leaderless and our stumbling commander-in-chief is left in the dark. . . . One expects this kind of secrecy to shroud health episodes in Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Kim Jong Un’s North Korea, but surely not in America — not from a cabinet secretary.
