Biden Tells Trump-Appointed U.S. Military Academy Board Members to Resign or Be Fired
Breitbart ^ | 09/08/2021 | Paul Bois

Posted on 09/09/2021 6:43:51 AM PDT by 2harddrive

In an unprecedented move, President Biden told 18 of former President Trump’s appointees to the U.S. military academy boards to resign or be fired.

On Wednesday, the White House sent 18 letters to Trump appointees currently serving on the boards of visitors for the Air Force Academy, Military Academy, and Naval Academy ordering them to resign by 6 p.m. on Wednesday or else be terminated.

According to the Associated Press, letters were sent to such high-profile names formerly associated with the Trump administration as “White House counselor Kellyanne Conway (Air Force Academy), press secretary Sean Spicer (Naval Academy), national security adviser H.R. McMaster (U.S. Military Academy) and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought (Naval Academy).”

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the president’s mass firing of appointees stemmed from his desire to appoint qualified candidates and had nothing to do with politics:

I will let others evaluate whether they think Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and others were qualified, or not political, to serve on these boards. But the president’s qualification requirements are not your party registration. They are whether you’re qualified to serve and whether you are aligned with the values of this administration.

This is to UNDERMINE American military education so as to replace military WINNERS with the merely WOKE. It is also partly to distract from the rise in new COVID cases, a dismal jobs report, soaring inflation, record amounts of drugs coming across the southern border, and, of course, the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan that left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies stranded under Taliban rule.

They have education, they have the media, they have corporate America, they have the unions, now they will take the military as the lazy worthless GOP does nothing.

Give the Biden cabal credit. The know how to use the levers of power. They unabashadly place their commissars in agencies they control, purge opponents and unapologetically make policy.Sadly Trump never learned to wield those levers effectively. It began with the disasterous appointment of Sessions. He failed to control the Department of Justice, State, the military and the security agencies ( FBI,CIA and NSA). He never purged his opponents and they undermined his Presidency from beginning to end. You would think Trump learned something from the Sicilians he worked with for thirty years in the NYC construction business.

Biden’s military picks may have experience, but they lack common sense.

My wife insists that one day Biden is going to slip up and say he was just doing what Obama told him to do.

Trump didn't do it in his first term.

Trump was more focused on issues like immigration, the trade deficit and lil’ Rocket Man in N. Korea.

The Democrats are more focused on childish, vindictive behavior.
