Remember, there was a time when the eagle’s gaze on the official seal for the Office of the United States President, did not point toward the olive branch. There was a long time in our nation’s history when the eagle’s gaze on the Presidential Seal pointed toward the arrows, and the State Dept. Seal pointed to the olive branch.
There were always two conflicting teams, by design. There were always two different roles and responsibilities. Those distinct purposes are now diluted by ideology, size of government and the silo process.
According to DC chatter, there is a strong possibility the “elective surgical procedure,” that resulted in complications ultimately requiring intensive care hospitalization for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, involved gastric bypass surgery or laparoscopic gastric banding. Regardless of what the procedure was, the Pentagon is updating that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin remains in the hospital. {Pentagon Link}
This update follows the admission that Defense Secretary Austin was hospitalized in intensive care for four days beginning January 1st, and no one in the White House, National Security Council or State Department was aware. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken confirmed his lack of knowledge earlier today.

President Trump had this to say:
President Trump is spot on. Sir.
gastric bypass surgery or laparoscopic gastric banding
He’s still a t hug.
Race baiting hustler and tax cheat. Perfect idol for young blacks.
And full of shit
They banned the wrong end.
That goofball thinks those glasses make him look smart.
Guaranteed <100.
Likewise, Claudine Gay.
Is that Lester Holt or tax cheat Rev Al?
Is that Lester Holt or tax cheat/race hustler Rev Al?
Tax cheat, womanizer, “reverend” Al.
lipstick on a pig.
I was hoping it was a REALLY BAD cancer eating away at his fat, non-taxpaying @ss !!!
My friend died from this surgery why can’t Al?
nimrodman…I just want to thank you for the gesture this early a.m. and WOWZA…I did not KNOW that banding would do that much since this looks like a sausage tied at both ends…Just sayin!!!!! Again Thank you!!!!

He’s a FBI snitch aka rat and race agitator for them
Here he is with the other race baiter Jesse ShakeDown Jackson when PDJT was ok before he ran for President.

Should have had it applied to his mouth.
That must be an old pic, because with every year, Rev Al’s head grows in diameter. I’m surprised he can still walk upright.
What a sad spectacle …
Loosah!
pathetic actually.
Those aren’t even U.S. soldiers, and his face is like the Star wars fighters.
That was so embarrassing. Our leader of our Department of Defense exhibiting cold hard fear.
Leader? More like stooge.
As a former Army NCO… You can only imagine the verbiage I am conjuring…
My drill sergeant in boot camp explained this to us: “I am restricted from using foul language against you. But, I have been stationed in many foreign countries during my career. Unfortunately, when I get excited, I sometimes slip into those foreign languages. It may resemble swearing, but I assure you it is not.”
That’s the only Lloyd Austin that I recognize.
Ahhh, disrespecting the troops!
“Darth! Darth! Is that you?!”
He looks like a zaftig Darth Vader going to a costume party as a Ugandan dictator.
“Does this mask make me look fat?”
“No… your ass makes you look fat, buddy.”
How is it that this guy gets to wear the most advanced mask available but the guys who do the fighting for our country have to make do with cheap paper masks? And, pray tell, what is that outlandish medal hanging around his neck? And what did he do to earn it?
Dalek
Girth Vader.
old: “It’s a MAN’s Army”
new: “Let me re-phrase …”
Yeaj, he was gettong his dingus chopped off, wants to be a first, like the trans what,…? Assistant Sect. for health, the one that took his/her/its mom out of the nursing home, just before putting the covid pts in.
ADMIRAL Rachel Levine, ..
Let me finish that sentence for you, dutchman:
“ADMIRAL Rachel Levine, infected GENERAL Lloyd Austin’s PRIVATES with monkeypox and it spread”.
Now he’s ashamed to be seen in public until the pustules are less pronounced.
Gives the term trans fat a whole new meaning…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rachel, the sister of Uncle Miltee?
It is a well known fact that morbidly obese people suffer from mental instability of some kind. It stands to reason that he supports the mentally deranged he/she/it agenda.
In more honorable times …
… returning Barrycades from the World War II Memorial to the Hussein Obama White House
How is it this Michael Baxter character from RealRawNews hasn’t been sued into oblivion. Here’s his latest …
Russian Claim: Austin Dead In Ukraine.
That’s all I’m putting, if you want to read the rest of the 🐂💩, here’s the link.
Russian Claim: Austin Dead In Ukraine | Real Raw News
because no one reads that site……..except you
I don’t read it. It’s been plastered all over the net all day!
Uh, guess again…
Yet CNN, WACOMPOST , ABC, NBC, NYT,NPR are such stellar news sources…
Might be something to it as to why all the secrecy.
RRN is a demoncrap op, as such no lawsuit.
The purpose is to print BS to get MAGA people to believe it and spread it.
Rinse and repeat.
And once in a while, conversely, RNN is just as useful to put out some true stuff so people like you won’t believe it and will stop it from spreading.
That’s the part of the cycle you missed.
im not weeding through a pile of rancid feces for a few flakes of gold.
No one has to, “RNN” make sure it gets spread all over, and it’s usually far more entertaining, less rancid and written better than the actual rancid feces put out in unison by the MSM…
Usually more fun than the Babylon Bee, too.
It would serve him right.
How do we know for certain he’s not dead?
well, his chances of death by medical malpractice just went vertical.
Free-For-All…
How many days per week you reckon Buttjiggle shows up at DOT HQ… I’m thinkin’ two… three, max…
…per month, and you’d be in the park.
Austin is 70 years old. Why is he getting that procedure at his age?
He’s not, he got monkeypox from Adm. Levine and he’s hiding out until the pustules aren’t contagious anymore (plus he’s embarrassed).
BMI too high, my Brother in law retired because of BMI. Boss should lead by example.. Lloyd was obese
Lead by example? Lloyd ought to go into the empty room alone, close the door behind him, have a seat, ponder his deeds, note the loaded revolver on the desk and do the right thing.
Leading by example would be backing up from the table and hitting the gym.
Leading by example in that case would be to change his eating habits and exercise.
What’s the big deal? Can’t a brother get a Lil privacy? Sheeeit.
It’s debatable whether a person in such a critical role should even subject himself to an elective procedure and its attendant risks or defer such procedure until he leaves office.
Maybe this isn’t PC, but especially in a Defense Secretary, I’d like to think the individual bristles with resolve and steadfastness as opposed to lacking sufficient self-discipline to push away from the dinner table.
I mean, are those arrows or a fork?
I don’t know if he had surgery but Pompeo is unrecognizable from his fatter self these days.

Oh jeez i’ll bet they have plum spots carved out at opposite ends of the deep state spectrum for the two happy newlyweds to burrow into (under separate surnames of course) and build a nice little nest egg doing the Beltway Two Step.
Not to mention it is probably on the tax payers dime…
No one would noticeif Mayor Pete went missing for a month
Everybody always says, “I take full responsibility” blah blah blah but they NEVER expect to get fired.
Liposuction gone awry.
How? Did they suck out any remaining gray matter this ding bat may have still had?
Lloyd Austin’s colleagues in the Defense Industry probably knew more about his condition than the Biden Administration.
He probably called his Chinese counterpart to let Xi know. (lol)
I have a friend who’s wife died a week after this procedure. Very risky, just push yourself away from the table man!
Gee… I’ll get vanity surgery, not much going on. Boss in St Kitts, underling in Puerto Rico, Cackles in CA. Oh grab that briefcase with that whatchmacallit, get my car please.
No one missed him. Telling.
When there is no chain of command there is no command. It is simply inconceivable how such a great nation can collapse so quickly.
On the other hand, Austin was really bad at his job. When the boss and his assistant are way, it might be better.
It’s not a collapse when orchestrated to fall; rather, it’s a deconstruction.
well said.
I served on several senior Flag Officer staffs during my military career including aide to the commander. It’s a staff function to know and carry out protocol. No way this is a simple act of forgetfulness.
Biden is not gonna fire a black man. He should for dereliction but he won’t
The fact that he was missing for the better part of the week and no one noticed is an indication that Austin is not that important.
A week with troops under attack by Iranian proxies and America propping up war in Ukraine while trying to stop war in Israel while looking like it is supporting Israel.
Yet nobody in the White House even notices that the Defense Secretary is absent.
That’s because the Cabinet members report to the puppet master who only comes to the White House to have lunch.
Blinken “had no idea”? He damn well should be fired too!
Blinken has had no idea about anything since being installed. Talk about a dim bulb!
Blinken ran the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Probably too bust running the disaster in Ukraine and the nightmare in the Mideast to notice that the Defense Secretary is missing.
Well, if Blinken not having a clue was a firable offense- day one. He should have been fired day one.
BIG FAT FILTHY LLOYD.
Morbidly Obese trying to lead Warriors.
We are a Pathetic Joke, an embarrassment to the world.
When weak men lead, this is what you get. Chaos
Put your Darth Vader COVID masks on again you Pathetic loser.
Barring complications, gastric bypass and gastric banding are usually same day surgeries with following morning release. With minor complications there might be an additional day’s stay. There must have been major complications to have resulted in an ICU stay of multiple days.
Why so secretive? It can’t be because he thinks it will be a show of weakness. That is standard fare from Austin. He always cares more about the touchy-feely things than about the military strength things. What is he hiding? Exactly WHO was in charge while he was down and out? How did Iran know?
I’m leaning more toward gender reassignment surgery myself
With complications…
On the bright side (there’s always a bright side), he can now sing soprano in the church choir.
Why would he even be getting this kind of surgery at this moment in time? Isn’t this considered cosmetic surgery?
Men who get this surgery (or otherwise achieve a noticeable weight loss) are usually planning on running for president or getting/keeping an in-front-of-the-camera media job.
Timeline on who was told and when (via Gateway Pundit):
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q. Brown Jr. was told Tuesday, the day after Austin went to Walter Reed. Brown apparently did not inform Biden or anyone.
Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks performed some of Austin’s duties while on vacation in Puerto Rico but she was not informed until Thursday he was in the hospital.
Joe Biden and the White House, including National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan were not told until Thursday.
Congress was not informed until Friday, just fifteen minutes before the Pentagon issued a press release.
Senior military and civilian officials at the Pentagon received an email from Austin’s chief of staff Friday afternoon, two hours before the press release was issued.
Some Pentagon officials were not told at all and learned about Austin’s illness from press reports Friday night.
Other Pentagon officials were lied to by Austin’s staff over the week, being told he was working at home, reported Politico (excerpt):
“But Austin’s hospitalization was a closely guarded secret, kept from even senior Pentagon officials and congressional leaders until just before the public statement, according to nine DOD officials and two congressional aides. Some Pentagon officials only learned of Austin’s situation through Ryder’s news release. One of the DOD officials said their office was told by Austin’s aides that the secretary was working from home for the week.”
What a joke this country has become.
Austin called in sick. Joe Biden just happened to be the one who picked up the phone to take the call.
This only confirms the widespread belief that the question, “Why bother telling Biden anything?” is legitimate and an accurate assessment of his mental condition.
Karma. And, Always MAGA 👊👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
He abided by all Covid protocols and still almost died from it.
I may be wrong it could have been the flu.
So here’s my conspiracy theory —
Austin came to his senses and realized he’s being played for a pansy, being forced to reduce himself to a fraction of a man under a useless idiot “commander.”
Because of that he told someone he was going to speak out against all the lawlessness he has personally witnessed, and was going to go to the press and spill the beans.
Then someone got the arkancide crew after him, but they weren’t able to get the job done, so they sent him to the hospital where they’ve been deciding what to do with him for over a week. Make it look like a Kennedy magic bullet? Or yeah, he’s fat so he had a bypass, or he’s in the woke military so he’s got a severe case of grossness that’s being taken care of.
But, since the article said Austin resumed his responsibilities on Friday evening (yes, right, Friday evening he’s back in action ready to go from his intensive care bed), I’m sure our fighting forces are still in trouble.
If Austin is getting along fine according to the administration then they are lying again
Gotta hang onto power at any cost. Omission of information is tantamount to a lie.
The pop up ads make this site very glitchy. imho.
I changed over to BRAVE search engine because of that.
It’s not the site.
It’s how you get here and who had power to interrupt it.
ISP, browser, who knows what else.
Effectively Austin was AWOL – Being career military Austin fully understands that. As PDJT said, Austin should be fired.
I believe he was in the hospital for sex change surgery. They were trying to make him into a man but failed.
I wonder if Blinken’s “ not knowing “ is true or if this is a play from the state department to remove Austin.
So let me get this straight. In a job were discipline and focus are are the most important qualities and physical fitness is the measure an overweight and mentally challenged person is in charge? SMH
Should have just eaten less fried chicken, Lloyd.
In the Washington DC system, Lloyd Austin will be rewarded and promoted for his dereliction of duty. You know, it would be racisim to do anything otherwise.
Russia, China, Iran and many others are laughing at the United States.
Infections after surgery usually take a couple of days to form, so the timeline is off. He probably developed a blood clot which is also a risk of any surgery. This risk was higher for him given the obesity and the fact that he more than likely received multiple COVID vaccinations.
Trump is correct. When I was serving my time in the Navy as an enlisted grunt, if I ever chose to disappear and no one knew the where, why, and when it would start/end, well, I’d be court-martialed for going AWOL. No questions asked. No ability to weasel my way out…..I’d be hung out to dry, maybe even have my career terminated, and at a minimum, I get demoted two ranks and lose 1/2 month pay for two to four months, aligned with restricted duty.
And others here who have served can vouch for all that I type- no, they wouldn’t give two craps if losing 1/2 your pay for 2 to 4 months, coupled with restriction, prevented you from feeding your family or paying your bills. Rather, they double up on you: wait for the inevitable to happen and then punish you for failing to meet your obligations. I’ve seen it more than I can count on my fingers and toes.
But this guy, like Garland, Mayorkas, Biden, and the many others in DC: the rules don’t apply to them, only us.
As a surgical scrub tech, one day I went to lunch (I never went to lunch). The Chief of Surgery was also head of the EENT department eye, ear, nose and throat. He had asked me that morning to come to his clinic at lunch to try a new contact lens. So I told three different people I would be spending my lunch down in ENT Clinic. I came back 30 minutes later to being presented with a pencil handwritten letter of counseling for being absent from the department without approval. I stood there and tore it up in front of their pock-marked faces and said 1) it was not on an official Air Force form and 2) they better call the Chief of surgery and ask the Chief why I was gone and 3) I told 3 different people I was going to ENT clinic on my lunch time.
Ever notice the number of objects on many official seals of federal government agencies have 13 objects of any particular item on the seal, i.e., 13 feathers, 13 olive leaves, 13 arrows, etc.
What is the significance of the 13? Is it the original 13 British colonies in America?
Yes.
Whatever is going on with the Lloyd Austin situation, you can bet the stories from the WH and media are NOT it.
I think I started noticing this during the Obama era, when the media transitioned from left-bias to outright cheerleading for the Democrats, that scandals which would once have rocked the nation to its core are now considered little more than sidebar material. The corollary to this is the media will simultaneously go full-speed ahead on trivial or outright fabricated stories.
Biden being completely unaware of the SEC DEF’s hospitalization during a time when daily contact should be a given, is just mind-blowing. What do we all want to bet that Obama & Susan Rice knew?
