Lynn Malerba: The First Native American Treasurer and the Left's Hypocrisy

In a move that has the left patting themselves on the back, President Joe Biden appointed Lynn Malerba as the first Native American Treasurer of the United States in June 2022. This historic appointment took place in Washington, D.C., and was hailed as a significant step towards inclusivity and representation. But let's not kid ourselves; this is just another example of the left's performative politics. They love to champion diversity when it suits their agenda, but when it comes to real change, they're all talk and no action.

First off, let's talk about the timing. The Biden administration made this announcement at a time when they were desperately trying to distract from their numerous failures. Inflation was skyrocketing, gas prices were through the roof, and the southern border was a mess. What better way to divert attention than by making a historic appointment? It's a classic bait-and-switch tactic. They want you to focus on the shiny new appointment while ignoring the dumpster fire that is their policy record.

Now, let's address the "historic" nature of this appointment. Yes, it's great that a Native American is finally in a high-ranking position within the Treasury. But why did it take so long? The left loves to claim they're the party of progress, yet it took until 2022 for them to appoint a Native American to this role. If they truly cared about representation, this would have happened decades ago. Instead, they waited until it was politically convenient.

And let's not forget the hypocrisy. The left loves to preach about diversity and inclusion, but when it comes to their own ranks, they're not exactly practicing what they preach. Just take a look at the leadership of the Democratic Party. It's overwhelmingly white and male. Yet, they have the audacity to lecture everyone else about diversity. It's a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do."

Furthermore, this appointment does little to address the real issues facing Native American communities. While it's nice to have representation at the top, it doesn't change the fact that many Native American communities are struggling with poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and inadequate education. If the left truly cared about these communities, they would focus on policies that address these issues, rather than making symbolic appointments.

Let's also consider the role of the Treasurer. While it's an important position, it's not exactly a policy-making role. The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the U.S. Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the nation's gold reserves. It's a managerial position, not a legislative one. So while it's great that Lynn Malerba is in this role, it's not going to lead to any significant policy changes for Native American communities.

And finally, let's talk about the media's role in all of this. The mainstream media was quick to praise this appointment, hailing it as a major step forward for diversity. But where was this enthusiasm when the Trump administration made historic appointments? The media's bias is on full display here. They only celebrate diversity when it aligns with their political agenda.

In the end, Lynn Malerba's appointment is a classic example of the left's performative politics. They love to make symbolic gestures that make them look good, but when it comes to real change, they're nowhere to be found. It's time to stop falling for their tricks and start holding them accountable for their actions, or lack thereof.
