Update: The U.S. Senate confirmed Brendan Owens to the position of assistant secretary for energy, installations, and environment in the Defense Department on Monday night.

Owens received 60 “yea” and 35 “nay” votes.

The following Republicans voted to confirm Owens: Sens. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Thom Tillis of North Carolina,  Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and Todd Young of Indiana.

The U.S. Senate is set to vote at 5:30 p.m. on the confirmation of Brendan Owens for the position of assistant secretary for energy, installations, and environment in the Defense Department.

“Well, I mean, he’s part of the Green Building Council, so I’m not quite sure what he’s got to do with anything going on at the Department of Defense,” Steven Milloy, founder and publisher of JunkScience.com, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview on Monday.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

His suitability for the position isn't what matters, it's his leftist ideas that do.  His ability to screw over the military and America are so very important to Biden. 9999hair out0000
