So, how many times has there actually been NO ONE WHO HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER to pass orders to the military as part of the NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY, on the job?

I just read an extremely disturbing IG report. Last December, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized and failed to follow the law by notifying the White House or Congress. Similarly, his deputy, Secretary Kathleen Hicks, also refused to follow protocol and report the transfer of authority.

Now, the Inspector General’s report just released reveals that this doesn’t just happen once. Secretary Austin did the same thing again five months later, last June, and he hid it from everyone. Now look, I get it.

People get sick. It happens to all of us, and I sincerely hope Secretary Austin is healthy. But it is dangerous and deeply concerning that our Secretary of Defense left the United States vulnerable when he was completely out of commission.

Not once, but twice, and he didn’t feel the need to tell his boss either time. So, thanks to Joe Biden, we have wars all over the world. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am deeply, deeply disturbed to learn that we have had two significant lapses in the chain of command that have left our country wide open for attack.

Just as you’d expect, there will be zero accountability from the Biden administration. So, thankfully, change is on the way. In five days, President Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as our 47th president, and the Senate will swiftly confirm Pete Hegseth as our next Secretary of Defense.

We will have accountability, accountability and strength in the Pentagon once again, and it can’t come soon enough. God bless.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Shot and Killed Outside Hotel in Gun-Controlled NYC

Fifty-year-old UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed by a masked gunman outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan as he arrived for a conference around 6:45 a.m. on Wednesday.

The New York Post reported the masked attacker fired “repeatedly” at Thompson then “fled eastbound off of 6th Avenue.”

Thompson was shot in the chest during the attack and rushed to the hospital thereafter, where he died.

ABC 7 noted police believe the shooting was targeted but they do not know a motive. The masked attacker is still on the loose.

Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New York the No. 2 state in the Union for gun control laws, making the Empire State second only to California.

New York has universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, a red flag law, gun storage requirements, a microstamping requirement for new pistols, a ban on college carry for self-defense, a ban on campus carry on K-12 campuses for classroom defense, a “sensitive places” ban for licensed concealed carriers, and much more.
