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.

“ And University of Phoenix is not even a real university”
At this point, does that really matter?

“Looks like Biden got at least a twofer with this pick.”

Twofer?

She received her commission in 1985 through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps Program at Northwestern University, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. She also attended the Naval War College and holds a master degree in organizational management from the University of Phoenix.

I feel so much safer now.

A possibly play in this is the Dims might be hoping to make Tuberville look bad in holding up top level promotions till the Pentagon quits paying travel for abortions. They’ll say the Reps are holding back women.

Translation - Biden again picks a woman BECAUSE she’s a woman. How sad for the women picked and American women in general.

Reminds me a little of the insurance lady in the 70s movie Hospital.

About 42 seconds in, a little bit of the actress.

The whole movie is on Pluto to get the face view.

So it is evident that she is not so bright.

Is she tactically smart?

For a bit more detail -- from wikipedia

The prefix cis- is Latin and means "on this side of".

It's been used by activists since 1994 to serve as the opposite of trans, means "across or beyond".

I'd say it's made up for political purposes but others might say it's Latin, so "it's real". I don't accept it. And I don't say "gay" either. I say "homosexual" to describe the unhappy people suffering from a mental illness and perversion.

cis and trans are chemistry terms describing molecular structure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

cis is Latin for on the same side and trans means on the opposite side (or across). Trans of course we all know, e.g. transatlantic, transnational etc…

Insane people have usurped the terms. Cis is the opposite of trans hence they call normal people cis.

I wish it wasn’t my grandsons being subjected to these social experiments.
Even if she is qualified, they have nullified that by all the others that came before her. Seems like a lot too.
