Defense Secretary Remains Hospitalized, Spent Four Days in Intensive Care Following Complications, White House Never Informed

The story of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recovering in the hospital broke Friday afternoon when the Pentagon first released a statement {SEE HERE}.   It was a bizarre first notification considering that Secretary Austin had been hospitalized since January 1st, and no official notification came until yesterday.   However, the story has grown even more bizarre.

Secretary Austin was in intensive care for four days following complications that stemmed from an elective procedure.

Today, it is discovered that the Pentagon never informed the White House that the Defense Secretary was not in command.  The National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and the National Security Council were unaware of Austin’s incapacity until January 4th.  This is very strange.  Politico has the update:

WASHINGTON DC – The Pentagon did not tell President Joe Biden and other top officials about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s hospitalization for three days, three U.S. officials said.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan and other senior White House aides didn’t know of Austin’s Jan. 1 hospitalization until the Defense Department sent over word Jan. 4, two other U.S. officials said. Sullivan informed Biden shortly after DOD’s Thursday notification.

The officials said it was highly unlikely that Austin conveyed word to Biden privately before Sullivan’s briefing. “If Jake didn’t know, no way the president knew,” one of them said. “Who would have told him of Austin’s condition if not Jake? And if someone did tell the president, Jake would’ve been his first call.”

All officials and other people who spoke for this story were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

The news of Austin’s situation came as a shock to all White House staff as they were unaware the Pentagon boss was dealing with complications following an elective medical procedure, the officials said. National Security Council staffers were surprised it took the Pentagon so long to let them know of Austin’s status. The Pentagon didn’t make the information public until Friday evening, notifying Congress about 15 minutes before releasing a public statement.

“This should not have happened this way,” said one of the U.S. officials. The NSC and Pentagon declined comment. (read more)

Considering the U.S military is actively engaged in two regions of conflict, Red Sea (Israel-Hamas war) and Ukraine (Russia-Ukraine conflict) it seems stunning the Defense Secretary was out of commission and the White House was never aware.

Then again, considering the oft spoken arguments about the Joe Biden administration essentially operating without any command-and-control authority, meaning each institution is operating on their own priority system and Joe Biden is not a participant in government, perhaps this is just another affirmational data point.

Lastly, perhaps this level of detachment reconciles THIS STORY.

Medical Care for Migrants Crisis Rw-Posted Nov 6, 2023 By Martin Armstrong


MigrantCrisis

Over 900 thousand migrants have crossed the border legally over the last year and over 600 thousand have crossed illegally. It is estimated at about 105 million migrants to have crossed over the border in just a year according to a Biden- appointed secretary. It has been an ongoing issue of seeking shelter across the U.S while also trying to seek medical attention. According to an article in AP News, there is no system in place to keep record of migrants who seek medical attention. They rely on volunteer doctors to see them. When you have a bunch of people in these shelters, some sick and others not- it is easy to have illnesses spread, and they will spread fast. A rough estimate from Cook County of how many migrants have been treated is around 14 thousand. This is costing the clinic about $2.2 million a month. Said best by Garcia, whom works for the Migrants Clinitians Network, “You have what were essentially healthy people put in really remarkable circumstances, where they are not able to survive thoroughly and then they come across (the border) in a really compromised state.”

The way that we should be looking at this is- why open borders and not have specific plans and guidelines set in place for these migrants? I just do not understand how 1.5 million people, both legal and illegal, can come into the U.S when we can’t even get my employees in the country from Europe. Cities like Chicago are dealing with a huge surge of migrants, most of which are sleeping in tents on the streets. Mayor Brandon Johnson has said that he will be flying out to Washington to speak with the Biden Administration, seeking for them to help out more during this crisis. It is a bit crazy to realize that the Biden Administration were the ones to open up these borders yet have not administered much help for the after effects. Our government does a really good job at sticking their noses in other countries before even helping out our own country.
