Lloyd Austin to face grilling from lawmakers over secret hospital visits
2024-03-01
[FoxNews] Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will appear before the GOP-controlled House Armed Services Committee. Several lawmakers on the committee have blasted the secretary both for not informing Congress of his days-long hospital visit, but also for keeping President Biden in the dark.

#16  ^Not. Hamas says 30000 total, IDF says 13000 terrorists.
25,000 Palestinian women and children killed in Gaza,” says jumla Austin.

#15  Re #5: If Israel were not as careful as it has been to avoid deliberately targeting civilians, I think the toll would have been much, much higher. If Hamas had not been using human shields, the toll would have been much lower.
If the 25,000 number is even remotely accurate.

#14  ^Yea, but he can count all the way to 25,000 (#5).

#13  Lard Austin is a joke. A bad one.

#12  I am mystified at why the Biden Cabinet keeps disappearing. How long was Buttigieg gone for? Nobody knows because he is basically useless. It seems like Austin could have just sent an email and took some time off. The total destruction of our military capabilities can wait a couple of days. It’s not like an acting Sec of Defense could have reversed a bunch of Biden initiatives. It’s not like he has to sign the payroll checks.

#10  It's not like they put him in that job to do anything other than enforce EEOC quotas.

#8  At least we now know Austin is a biological male!

#7  Even with a biopsy they have no idea how big or bad it is until they try to remove it.
The direction with the least pressure for prostrates to grow (hell even those without cancer that are just kind of mutant and produce massive amount like you see in some sex videos where the partner is covered in real instead of fake product - those are likely grown into the bladder and the actor should race toward a Proctologists)

A normal prostate is 7<->9 grams....

If it's bigger than that it's not a good health place to be...

#6  As a long term survivor with radical surgery to stop it.... Austin was a idiot to think his surgery would be an out patient visit. It took me a long long time with 7 days of it hospital to recover. Even the most minor of cancers is big dice roll with surgery.

#5  “Over 25,000 Palestinian women and children killed in Gaza,” says US defence secretary

#4  Please you feckless Washington morons, can't you see this Austin issue is a psychological media diversion. Drop it and concentrate on the border issue ferfoksake.

#3  Well, nice to see Austin get out of the house.
