THROW THE BUM OUT / TODAY AUSTIN TOMORROW THE REST/ RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE
Vol. III | Issue. 209 | January 11, 2024
Like many of Biden's cabinet members and Radical Left appointees at various levels, Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, has disgraced himself through incompetence and a failure to fulfill the raison d'être of his occupation — protecting the interests of the American people. Austin's first act of public disgrace was his failure as America's Top Defense Official and Chief Architect of the disastrous and ignominious withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021.
Austin's most recent public disgrace stems from his abrupt absence without leave or notice as the Defense Department Chief. He left without a plan and failed to notify his “Commander and Chief” (laughable) during a time when we are arguably at war or, at the very least, on the precipice thereof. While we naturally wish him well regarding his health issues, Austin—a clear ignoramus and by no means capable of being in charge of our nation's defense —decided to take a few days off for an elective procedure.
In short, he jumped over the wall and went AWOL.
But guess what?! Nobody at the White House cares.
As always, the Left, as long as they are in power, supports every one of their elected and appointed stooges as long as they stick to the radical script and do their best to destroy America. Joe, even if he had been awakened from his nap by Austin, wouldn't have blinked or ever likely inquired about the chain of command status in his absence at the Defense Department, and he doesn't care.
Austin, a disgrace to his old uniform, is in no apparent jeopardy for jumping over the wall for a few days. The only response from Austin, which came four days later due to the increasing public obloquy, was an anodyne public statement of “taking full responsibility” for his actions. This “taking full responsibility” pablum by public officials and often by private citizens in recent years is one of the chief indices of the rot in our culture and society at every level.
Today, the phrase "taking responsibility" when placed in a statement means nothing. The only way that "taking responsibility for something" is in any way meaningful is where there is a consequence that's attached to it. In Austin's case, serving as America's Top Defense Official and heading a nearly trillion-dollar department crucial to the protection of American lives and liberty, the appropriate consequence should be either firing or, if he were possessed of any dignity, his resignation. But that won't happen…
It doesn't matter to Joe that Islamo-Nazism is becoming a greater existential threat to America every day or that China is assessing American resolve and capacity to defend her interests throughout the world. Joe, a puppet of the Radical Left, doesn't care if our American house burns down. I guess what I'm saying is:
Lloyd— Despite your incompetence and complete lack of ability to preside over the Department of Defense, your job is safe forever, unless, of course, you fail to “take responsibility” in your completely meaningless way.”
The Islamo-Nazis are on the warpath all over the world. A small band of Iranian Islamo-Nazi pirates called the Houthis has effectively closed down one of the single most important international sea lanes for shipping. When Pentagon Press Secretary former "Admiral" John Kirby was asked what would be done about these Houthis, his response: "They need to stop." A pretty scary message to the Houthis, right?
Kirby’s response to that question echos the rank weakness of American leadership from top to bottom. Kirby’s response to that question was in perfect pitch to the hollow weakness of his master's voice… The impotent Biden/Austin team is a clear and present danger to American National Security and they need to go AWOL...
