This EPIC Tucker Dig At A Mask &
Face Shield-Wearing Lloyd Austin Is
One For The Ages

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 7/30/2021 10:11:49 AM

Fox News host Tucker Carlson hilariously called Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin a "neurotic cat lady" during Thursday night's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" opening monologue. Austin's Twitter account posted a video of the fully-vaccinated defense secretary exiting his plane on Thursday wearing a face shield and a face mask during a visit to the Philippines. Wheels down in the Philippines. pic.twitter.com/S8kjbTKMxW — Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III (@SecDef) July 29, 2021 The video quickly went viral, for all the wrong reasons. I again have to ask: if the primary goal now is to persuade vaccine

Comments:

This is truly frightening. Nothing like MacArthur wading through the ocean in the Philippines. Remember Jon Kerrie in the tank?

Slightly off topic from this neurotic cat lady’s masking, but is Congress considering having women register for the draft because men are no longer volunteering in sufficient numbers for military service? Same question for reenlistments. I have not seen official recruitment numbers, but Biden, his affirmative action appointees and the DoJ’s and FBI sickening pursuit of Trump supporters in the armed forces have to be harming recruitment efforts. “Be all that you can be except a patriot in today’s Army” isn’t a winning slogan. At moment, our military’s primary role appears to be secretly moving illegal aliens to red states without informing state and local authorities.

#24: A technical correction and a comment. The Silver Star is the *3rd* highest award for bravery in combat. 1st = MOH; 2nd is DSC (Distinguished Service Cross) then the Silver Star. Austin was an Infantry officer. He obviously never earned the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, (CIB) because he wore the The Combat Action Badge (CAB) A United States military award given to soldiers of the U.S. Army of any rank and who are not members of an infantry or special forces unit, for being "present and actively engaging or being engaged by the enemy, and performing satisfactorily in accordance with prescribed rules of engagement". The Infantry School guards award of the CIB assiduously. Actually, he should not have received that badge, because he *was* in an infantry unit. Austin apparently got a Silver Star for being a general—not for valor in combat.

Even as a Army General, Austin could not have approved a battlefield award for valor like the Silver Star medal for himself. Almost all Silver Star medals are awarded in the Army are to infantrymen who have qualified for the Combat Infantry Badge. Chances are if the Silver Star medal was bestowed on Austin when he was a General Officer stationed in Florida, it was Obama who personally approved that award and presented it to Austin. As far as the instances of battlefield valor that justified an award of the Silver Star medal, a person would have to read the actual citation to determine if the award had merit or not.

It's a typical overbroad citation made for officers who just happened to be there.

NYC to mandate proof of vaccination

New York City will mandate proof of vaccination to enter certain indoor businesses — including restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms — and deny entry to those without a jab, Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce Tuesday. The initiative, to be dubbed the “Key to NYC Pass,” marks a significant escalation of the city’s efforts to curb the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant, and will launch in mid-August, according to de Blasio administration officials. Enforcement will begin in September, following a public service announcement campaign, administration officials said.

There was a COVID death spike last week. Run for your lives! Put your masks back on—and be afraid. That was the narrative the liberal media peddled last week because without Trump around no one watches anything they report. We’ve reached peak hysteria over the Delta variant, which isn’t more lethal, nor does it make you sicker. The reports from an internal CDC memo that suggests otherwise should be ignored; it was rejected by peer review. Another knife to this narrative of Delta doom is the death toll. You were made to think that there was a 300 percent increase in deaths. There’s a reason why the media focuses

Speaking this week with Alex Newman of the New American, Soon, a Malaysian astrophysicist and aerospace engineer, said that “what we predict is that the next 20-30 years will be cold. It will be cold, so it will be a very interesting thing for the IPCC to confront.” The sun is in a “weakened state” and far less active than during the 1980s and 1990s, Soon noted, which should last until “around 2050.”

This type of categorization system also risks stifling an individual’s self-expression and self-identification and contributes to marginalization and minoritization,” said AMA Board Chair-Elect Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, M.D.

Hubbard failed on her first attempt to get 120kg above her head, bailing out early. On her second attempt at 125kg, she was able to get the weight up and pumped her fist after in satisfaction, however judges ruled it a “no lift.” She returned quickly for another attempt at 125kg only to fail to stand up with the weight above her head. Hubbard was the only one of the 13 finalists to not complete at least one lift.
