And Now We Know...

President Biden learned only Tuesday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was diagnosed with prostate cancer a month ago and had surgery, aides said.

Shame on everybody who speculated it was gastric-bypass, plastic surgery, or otherwise for "elective" purposes. The man has prostate cancer and was getting help over the slow holiday period = more time to recuperate...  

Truth be told, as Defense Secretary, it's not his job to be on 24/7 because of Israel's current actions -- that war has nothing at all to do with natinal security or America's defense.

Yes, his immediate underlings should have been in the know and somebody should have alterted Joe Biden's handlers too.  But let's not pretend there were important decisionss not being made while Mr. Austin had his surgery and was out of the loop.

He's not Sec. of Offense and most of America's wars -- all those we are currently financing around the globe today -- are elective operations themselves. Hth.  Leave the damned man alone now, media?? He doesn't owe you, or the rest of the country, anything more now

It's gonna be bad optics for teh Dems if they keep targeting the top black leaders in our country like this. Just sayin.

* Mr. Bret Stephens: looking at you... The worse things get in Gaza, the more columns he writes calling out black Americans like Gay and Austin.  Why do you think that is so? 

-------------

* Ugh, the wording in this statement: they're gonna "keep" the black man until the end of Joe's term.... which will likely be over next January the way this is going down...

John F. Kirby, a White House spokesman, said that Mr. Biden’s “first and foremost concern is the secretary’s health” and that the president still had “full faith and confidence” in Mr. Austin and would keep him until the end of his term.

They just don't see or hear it, huh?  Hint:  you don't "keep" black people, or workers, anymore.
