    Who is in charge of the country? The Pentagon is not giving the Biden administration any vital information!

    Is the military in charge of the United States? Here is the link from Politico. Just my opinion. Joe Biden might not be a legitimate President! More to come.

    The selection would make Austin one of the most prominent members of Biden's Cabinet and incoming administration. The secretary of defense is in control of the nation's largest government agency, commanding troops around the world and the complicated internal workings of the Pentagon that make it one of the world's most formidable bureaucracies.
    It also means Austin's political chops would be put to the test, juggling calls to cut defense spending, as some in Congress want, while still funding innovative future technology and prioritizing the challenges posed by Russia and China -- all while maintaining military deterrence against Iran, North Korea, and ISIS.

    In late August of 2010, I traveled to Iraq for the fifth time as vice president. While there, I participated in the change-of-command ceremony for United States Forces–Iraq. President Barack Obama had charged me with overseeing the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and we were committed to ensuring the orderly withdrawal of our forces and equipment from Iraq. Standing in the garish al-Faw palace, once home to Saddam Hussein but by then part of Camp Victory, I watched as General Lloyd Austin assumed leadership of a national-security priority on behalf of the president of the United States of America.

    Just over a year later, in December 2011, I returned to al-Faw palace, joining Austin in a ceremony honoring American and Iraqi service members as our forces left the country.  

    General Austin got the job done. He played a crucial role in bringing 150,000 American troops home from the theater of war. Pulling that off took more than just the skill and strategy of a seasoned soldier. It required Austin to practice diplomacy, building relationships with our Iraqi counterparts and with our partners in the region. He served as a statesman, representing our country with honor and dignity and always, above all, looking out for his people. 

     Today, I ask Lloyd Austin to once more take on a mission for the United States of America—this time as the secretary-designate of the Department of Defense. I know he will do an outstanding job.

    Correction nature. The article was written today 20 January. I misread the content of the message. The Biden administration was not given information in the December time frame.

    Is it a surprise that the Pentagon officials do not trust the Biden Administration? 

    They see the news too and know a rat when they see one.

    Trust is being restored all across our country. It's been absent the last 4 years.

    BLM and Antifa are back at it again, turning Portland into a war zone tonight. 

    It seems that Biden and Harris aren't doing a great job at keeping their deviants under control on day 1. 

    Dead people are already regretting their voting choice.
