Biden picks female admiral to lead Navy. She’d be 1st woman to be a military service chief

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, a senior administration official said Friday. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to be a U.S. military service chief.

Biden’s decision to tap Franchetti, an admiral with broad command and executive experience, goes against the recommendation of his Pentagon chief, but he is selecting an officer whom insiders had considered the top choice for the job. Franchetti, the current vice chief of operations for the Navy, would become the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended that Biden select Adm. Samuel Paparo, the current commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, several U.S. officials said last month. But instead, the administration official said Biden is nominating Paparo to lead U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the nomination has not been made public.

Sorry, been sidelined by Real Life stuff for a bit.

As to the woman Grifter Joe picked for the USJC’s I’ve just finished trying to find out as much as possible about her.

First thing is the MSM crowing the first woman thing from the rooftops. If she was a tranny they would be screaming it non stop 24/7 from every news outlet they own. Not even a chirp.

The “receding hairline?
I have a third cousin with the same type of hairline, she was just born with a high hairline. Or she could have been born with XXY chromosomes. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

If anyone can find a reputable site that reports differently let me know. Prove me wrong and I’ll be the first to admit being wrong.

I always got top rating on my enlisted evaluations report every year for my organizational skills. Am I now Sec Army ready?? I doubt it. I don’t like officers much. I had some good lawyer friends in our JAG offices I worked in as a Legal NCO. But there were some, a couple of LTC’s that I might just speed up if I saw them in the cross walk!! LOL. Didn’t like either because all the enlisted thought they were A-HOLES, yes, all caps!!

LOL, I did mean literally “throwing our military out the window) but I suppose if there were a word for throwing someone out of a porthole, I would have used that instead!

I read four articles about the female admiral, none said a word about the admiral being transgender. If she were I would imagine it would be front and center and shouted from the rooftops.
If you come across info that says different shoot me a link.

From looking at her fruit cocktail looks like she has never been assigned to an active combat zone.

Eeewww! But that fits-defenestration via porthole to the poop deck.

A natural biological operation by the Leftists. (Natural to them at least)

Repealing Constitutional Amendments is hard. So hard it would actually be easier to try talking to women and tell them the Rat party is the party of soft-on-crime policies and letting perverts in women’s restrooms.

There’s also that whole “taxation without representation” thing some old dead white guys fought a war over.
