Hold On Military Promotions

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 7/11/2023 4:40:25 PM

President Joe Biden‘s nominee to become the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a warning on Tuesday about an impasse on military promotions. Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown Jr., who is currently the Air Force chief of staff, was asked by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) during his confirmation hearing to talk about how nomination “holds” affect military families. The question comes as Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) blocks the fast-track approval of military promotions in protest of a Pentagon policy allowing female service members expense-paid travel and up to three weeks leave for an elective abortion.

Three weeks? It takes an half hour and maybe a day to recover unless there are complications. What is going on here? I can see this is a great way to get paid leave. Probably the "transgender XY's will say they are pregnant and get 3 weeks also. I hope we don't have any wars soon becasue our miliary will be out on leave.

And— what insurance pays for the abortion? They all are covered by the government for health care.

I thought our military ultimately answered to the civilian population. Maybe not. General, one of my promotions was held up until it could be proven by the Navy that I was not in attendance at Tailhook '91. I survived, and can think of far worse issues that affected my family during my career than that little delay.

Why should this AF General be fast tracked...he was the Chief of Staff of the Air Force during the debacle in Afghanistan, when CRT was introduced into the Armed Service, and when service members were thrown out of the service for refusing the clot shot...if anything I would Never let him be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Tuberville's hold can't possibly hurt the military any more than Biden and woke Generals already have. If Brown is another version of that idiot, Miley, then he should NOT be confirmed. If he remained silent during the deadly and incompetent Afghan rout and presided over the introduction of CRT and other woke policies then odds are that's exactly what he is. We need military leaders interested in FIGHTING and WINNING, not blindly implementing the leftist social agenda.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen.

"And [to] give you some perspective because I ran eight years ago, in 35 days eight years ago, we had 5,000 donors. Over 40,000 donors now," Christie said.

As the revelations of potential bribery, bank fraud and tax evasion swirl around Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, both men, who are increasingly appearing together, seem extraordinary calm and unconcerned in public as Joe flashes his signature supercilious and mocking smirk whenever he is asked about the various investigation into his and his son’s activities over the past 12 years. Thanks to pre-emptive presidential pardons, Joe knows that he, Hunter, and the family will never have to answer for any of their alleged egregious criminality. The Supreme Court has ruled that a president can issue a pardon before charges have been filed. That pardon power:

Calls to action include a renewed push to defund police departments and reinvest in Black communities that have suffered disproportionately from

The Biden administration on Monday slammed the Republican-controlled House’s version of 2024 National Defense Authorization Act for requiring military personnel decisions to be based on merit and not race or gender, among other provisions. “The Administration strongly opposes the House’s sweeping attempts…to eliminate the Department’s longstanding [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access] efforts and related initiatives to promote a cohesive and inclusive force,” the Biden administration said in a Statement of Administration Policy. The House’s NDAA contains a number of Republican-authored provisions to roll back the Biden administration’s efforts to push Marxist-based Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout the entire Department of Defense establishment, including the military.

Officer, Americans would like to report the Biden Administration’s FBI for the act of social media trolling. After all, that must explain why the “premier law enforcement agency” and political monkey wenchers that interfered with the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections laughably issued an appeal for Americans to come forward and report crimes. The FBI issued a tweet that used a flowery script against a mauve pink background inviting Americans to “Speak Now.” “Justice is better than revenge,” the FBI’s tweet stated. “You may not be Superman, but you can help the #FBI protect the country. If you have information about a federal crime, speak now.”
