Defense Secretary Austin is hospitalized in intensive care

[JAL]

I'm confused. Was he getting his wee-wee cut off or getting one attached?

Only his hairdresser . . . uhh . . . doctor . . . knows for sure (due to HIPAA).

Normal Presidential Cabinet Meeting Cadence:
As a comparator, the normal Presidential Cabinet Meeting cadence is once a week -- very occasionally skipping a week, but not often. That lines up with military Command and Staff Meetings with the immediate subordinate commanders and the unit's staff officers when in garrison. When operationally deployed, it's a daily event for situation reports, updates, warning orders (a heads up an op order is coming), operations orders, etc, albeit usually not as long. Three months without one is unheard of. Likely one for the Guinness Book of World Records.

Here is another way to look at it: he is irrelevant. He is just a figurehead diversity hire meant to fill a chair for photo opportunities. The people actually running the show are still at the controls, doing what they have always done. Think of Governor Lepetomane in "Blazing Saddles."

Like Biden.

Getting a sex change operation.

My first thought as well.

My first thought as well.

Not much of a operation, cause he already lost his pair along time ago

Three months without one is unheard of.

Only if you're interested in maintaining the strength and security of a nation. Clearly this administration has no interest in that particular mission whatsoever.

There seriously hasn't been a full cabinet meeting since October?

The biggest takeaway from this is that our Executive Branch is basically still zooming it in. WFH from the Cabinet... Rare meetings and zero discipline. Alarming. This is how you get balloons overhead and air force jets with Afghans falling off.

nothing but gaslighting

I saw this on Fox and the White House Briefing YouTube Channel (where you can see full briefings, vs sound bites). Brutally blunt barely captures the nature of it . . . and it was the poignant credulity/veracity question that needed to be asked . . . likely going through almost every other reporter's mind in the room, but they weren't going to ask.

When I first read this I thought it was all overblown. OF COURSE I don't want our nations enemies knowing the times or details of the Secretary of Defense being put in a vulnerable position. That would be stupid. Maybe I'm setting the bar too high for government...?

Now, in decency to the gentleman and his family I don't care what party he belongs to, he is fighting prostate cancer and all the best to him. From the posted timeline I am guessing that he went in for a procedure and when he got out he had complications that required his re-admittance. It is also reasonable to guess that this wasn't expected and so no one notified the chain of command. A likely oversight.

There should be a light investigation to see if this was just human error or policy oversight. I'm guessing a judgement error that whomever was supposed to report this didn't think he'd be in that long but, oops.

Regards and Happy New Year,

Doug

Think about this and the Sec. Austin story. Still not sure why we aren't turning the launch sites into rubble.

1 nuke to Yemen and the world would do nothing but cry and stand with their mouth agape. Remember we are the only nation crazy enough to use not 1 but 2 atomic bombs. Maybe the world needs to think we are still that crazy.
