Michael Bloomberg to head Defense Innovation Board
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | 02 09 2022 | Staff

Posted on 02/09/2022 10:55:33 PM PST by yesthatjallen

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to serve as chair of the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Board.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin nominated Bloomberg to "leverage his experience and strategic insights on innovation, business and public service," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday.

Kirby added that Bloomberg will bring "a wealth of experience in technology innovation, business and government to the Defense Innovation Board."

"His leadership will be critical to ensuring the department has access to the best and brightest minds in science, technology and innovation through the team of diverse experts that he will lead as chair of that board," Kirby said.

"And obviously the secretary is very grateful that Mr. Bloomberg was willing to take this additional responsibility on and very grateful that he's willing to serve in that capacity," he continued.

They (The Biden Bunch) have been after Mike Bloomberg for over a year to be their Czar of...something. The hope being the Mike’s presence will boost the credibility of this Admin.

I would be surprised if Bloomberg stays in that role for more than a year and a half. He’s a billionaire and not used to being told what to do or what not to say.
If Biden is not making sense, Bloomberg will straight up tell him that to his face. He has very little to lose.
Just don’t make him work with Fauxahontas, the one who destroyed him during the debates.

Yeah. If your party was a bunch of rabid Jew-haters like the Democrats it might be helpful to get a JINO to carry some water for you.

I’m not certain that the term “JINO” carries the kind of meaning “RINO” does. The term “Republican” is supposed to indicate certain political and ethical positions, while the appellation “Jewish” is just an ethnic designation.

Yup. Sometimes it’s hard to remember it was supposed to be fiction.

In our capital city, many people have been terrorized for more than a week. Women fleeing abuse have been harassed. Many elderly have been too afraid to venture outside their homes for groceries. Families have been deprived of sleep for days on end by the constant barrage of 100 decibel noise. Control over the city’s downtown core, which includes the Parliamentary Precinct, was ceded by the police and taken over by what the chair of the Police Services Board describes as an “insurrection...

DoD Defense Innovation Board, right, “innovation”…at least 50% of its charter will somehow be dedicated to fags, dykes and trannies and another 35% to “equity”, particularly racial. The Russians and Chinese are looking forward to Bloomberg’s board letting them eat more of our lunch.

"ensuring the department has access to the best and brightest minds in science, technology and innovation"

Somehow, it seems to me, the names 'Austin', 'Kirby', and 'Bloomberg' are quite incompatible with the words "best and brightest minds in science, technology and innovation".
