Lloyd Austin is basically on death’s door and yet they keep him in charge of the military.

Joe Biden is brain dead, and can barely walk and yet he is in charge of the whole country.

Why do we keep allowing people who are in no condition to even run to the bathroom to run the country?

We are folly for the world.

Because the corrupt liberal/socialist machine is in charge.

I feel bad for anyone with cancer, but c'mon, Lloyd - you're not serving your country here.

Agreed and I also feel bad for anyone with dementia, but c'mon Joe -- you're not serving your country.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Back in Hospital for an ‘Emergent Bladder Issue’

The Pentagon announced Sunday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is back in the hospital, weeks after a lengthy hospitalization following prostate cancer treatment and subsequent complications.

Around 5 p.m. Eastern, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder informed the Pentagon press in a statement that said:

    Today, at approximately 2:20 pm, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III was transported by his security detail to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be seen for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue. The Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been notified. Additionally, White House and Congressional notifications have occurred.

The statement said that Austin is retaining his duties “at this time,” and indicated that he would be in the hospital for some period of time.

“At this time, the Secretary is retaining the functions and duties of his office. The Deputy Secretary is prepared to assume the functions and duties of the Secretary of Defense, if required. Secretary Austin traveled to the hospital with the unclassified and classified communications systems necessary to perform his duties,” Ryder added.

“We will provide an update on Secretary Austin’s condition as soon as possible,” he said.

The notification, just hours after Austin’s hospitalization, stands in stark contrast to the last two times Austin was hospitalized. In the first instance, in late December, Austin underwent a surgery for prostate cancer and did not inform the president.

In the second instance, Austin was rushed back to intensive care on January 1 and did not tell President Joe Biden, his own deputy, and other senior White House and Pentagon officials until January 4. He waited an additional day before informing Congress and the American public.

The lack of transparency angered both Republicans and Democrats, who have called for Austin’s resignation due to his unauthorized and secret absence at a time when U.S. troops are being targeted in the Middle East.

Austin is set to testify to Congress on February 29, at the request of House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL).

Ok. Thanks.  She needs to get her rear in gear then.

Here's a John Stewart interview of Hicks last year.  She is getting grilled on Defense Department corruption, and she just blows it off.

I can't see the link you posted @Hoodat .  But it is there in your post when I went to reply. So I copy and pasted it back in the spot between the open and close ] [ and it shows up  in the quote above as this link. Maybe it is just the way my tablet works and others can see the link you posted.

What incentive does she have to answer ?

What incentive does she have to answer ?

By avoiding the question, coming across as smug and denying the obvious only affirms that she's corrupt. Apparently as a liberal mental midget she assumes that the American people are dumb enough to believe her denial. 

I thought it was a great interview by Stewart and I'm really surprised that she even agreed to come on the show.

Llyod is unwell.  Much like his president.  So he will be able to hang on till he dies.  RIP Lloyd.

He's been in the hospital now 3 times within a very short period of time. He has assigned his duties over again. 

So when are he and Joe finally going to step down?  Do the right thing for a change for America!
