The Department of Defense didn't notify the White House that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in the Walter Reed National Medical Center intensive care unit until Thursday. That's it.
I've posted twice on the growing mystery of why the Defense Department failed to notify Congress that Secretary Austin was in the hospital. In the first episode, it was revealed in a Pentagon statement on Friday that Austin had been in the hospital since New Year's Day due to "complications" from an "elective medical procedure." This came as a shock to the Pentagon Press Corps and Congress.

Maybe he was getting a pair sewn on.

Doesn't the Secretary of Defense sit in on the daily Intelligence Brief? If not he should. This whole fiasco simply points out that the people that make up this ruling body is either incompetent, criminal, or of such a low intelligence level that they really don't know how to perform the jobs given them.

Count on this. —- there are lies and facts omitted from the Pentagon and other administration statements regarding Austin’s disappearance. We won’t ever know the whole truth.

Under normal circumstances, he never would have got the job. Under normal circumstances, after the horrible Afghanistan debacle/withdrawal, he would have been fired. Under normal circumstances, after over 100 attacks on US troops and pathetic responses, he would have been fired...

According to anonymous sources at Walter Reed, SecDef Austin has suffered a lifelong case of Chronic Cranio-Rectal Inversion (CCRI) and it’s becoming more and more difficult for surgeons to extract his rather voluminous cranium from his capacious, well, you know where, and they even had to bring in fellow CCRI-sufferer General Mark Milley to consult. According to the same sources, his treatment has been compromised by the implicit bias and structural racism of the medical staff at Reed and are exploring the EMTALA implications of transferring him to a medical facility at an HBCU such as Meharry or Howard University, alma mater of CCRI sufferer Kamala Harris.

When the top guy in the organization goes on vacation 40% of the time things seem to get a bit lax throughout.
Biden does not run a tight ship.

FTA: Pentagon officials did not know where Austin was, nor did they miss him.
This is not scary at all. If radar had detected incoming nuclear missiles, several of our cities would be ashes right now because nobody was around who could make a decision, certainly not the sunburned squash on the beach in St. Croix. Depending on the context, that might not have been a bad thing. It would have been, however, a perfect time for an insurrection.

Of course he did! Just Diaper Joe doesn't remember it so this is the White Hut's cover up story. Got to hide Diaper Joe's Dementia at all cost. Including throwing the Quota Sec Def under the bus.

What if Lloyd Austin failed to show up at work and no one noticed?

Earlier this morning, I clicked on CNN.com. There was an article on this topic about 8 scrolls down. Ten minutes ago, I checked CNN. The Austin story is gone.

He probably wasn't aware of where he was.

Anyone going into the ICU isn't in any condition to notify anyone. Therefore, I suspect Austin really didn't need to be in the ICU, but because of his position in government, he was placed there out of an abundance of precaution.

Biden does not run a tight ship. Biden does not run a loose ship, either. Biden does not run a damn thing, except his stupid mouth. Only for 9 more months and some days.
