WASHINGTON – He put the “secret” in “secretary.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin took great pains to keep quiet his Jan. 1 medical emergency that landed him in the hospital for two weeks, with an aide asking 911 operators to have an ambulance pick the 70-year-old up without turning on its lights and sirens.
“Can I ask – can the ambulance not show up with lights and sirens?” the staffer said in the recording, first obtained by The Daily Beast, adding: “Um, we’re trying to remain a little subtle.”
The dispatcher agreed to pass on the message, noting that “usually when they turn into a residential neighborhood, they’ll turn them off.”
After Austin was rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. in severe pain from a urinary tract infection – a complication from a prostatectomy he had undergone Dec. 22 – he quietly transferred his authority to Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks on Jan. 2 — without telling her or any of his other Pentagon colleagues of the reason behind it.
"Austin also failed to tell the White House that he had transferred his authorities to Hicks, later doing so upon finally notifying President Biden of his hospitalization on Jan. 4."

I’m not a surgeon, but there is no elective surgery that I’m aware of that going to sideline somebody for three weeks. It’s either not elective or he’s getting something done that requires big changes.
Urinary tract infection ?
Sounds more like Lloyd’s new vagina wasn’t up to snuff. Any “woman” could have told Lloyd that Cranberry Juice helps clear up UTIs.
How do we know the SecDef has been ill, is ill, was/is hospitalized?
We know jack.
And we shouldn’t take Deep State’s word for ANYTHING.
No lights and siren equals something to hide. The story of complications during an elective surgery is falling apart.
With many things the left does......chances are we’ll never know the real truth.....as usual just what they want people to know.
As we all know, lying is as easy to these people as breathing.
American citizens need proof of life.
did his aide, knowing situation, inform someone in chain of command? ? ?
Interesting comments on the article....
something stinks, thank goodness Republican leadership seems unconcerned.
Why hasn’t he been replaced?? Cuz Biden can’t find a black, female, tranny to do the job?
Don’t think he ever really transferred his power. She would have had to be sworn in.....and it would have had to be entered into the record.
Has anyone stepped down or been fired from taterheads administration?
I can’t think of any.
That would indicate humility and and effort to put the country first and that barrel of snakes is having none of either of those.
Is Austin at Davos...
“ Has anyone stepped down or been fired from taterheads administration?”
That thieving tranny freak at the Dept of Energy and one other I can’t remember right now.

Lest anyone wonder why I’m asking, this is from January 2023...

Are there any photos or video of him post surgery? I’d like to see “proof of life”.
