Sen. Tommy Tuberville places hold on first proposed female ascending to the ranks of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff
Twitter/X ^ | Aug 14 | Politico

Monday was meant to be a historic day, one in which a woman for the first time ascended to the ranks of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Instead, the Defense Department will mark a more sober milestone. With the retirement of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday, for the first time in U.S. history, interim officers are filling three of the eight seats on the Pentagon’s storied board of most senior military members.

So Monday brought a different sort of handover ceremony. Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the vice chief of naval operations and the nominee to replace Gilday, assumed the role in an acting capacity — with no idea of when she’ll be confirmed.

The remarkable situation is thanks to an eight-month blockade on military promotions put in place by Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who opposes a new Pentagon policy on paying for service members to travel to another state to receive abortion and other reproductive services. More than 300 senior officer nominations are now on hold due to the standoff.

Ya hear that, women? The Dims are willing to put female promotions on hold to favor baby butchering. The Dims’ war on women continues.

...who opposes a new Pentagon policy on paying for service members to travel to another state to receive abortion and other reproductive services

Why does this article lump abortion with "other" reproductive services? It looks to me like the author worded it this way to get readers to infer that Republicans are making all reproductive healthcare illegal. When, in fact, Republicans do not have any plans to make birth control, childbirth, or screening and treatment for female cancers illegal at all. In fact, even where birth control abortion is no longer legal, abortion for the purpose of saving the mother's life (most commonly because of ectopic pregnancy) is still acceptable.

This kind of lumping together of abortion with actual women's health care needs to be debunked at every opportunity.

Tuberville is proving to be one of Trump’s best endorsements.

They have to ditch Gen Brown as chairman nominee. He is a disaster in the making.

We need war fighters, not social equity pimps.

If she isn’t Jamaican or Indian, she shouldn’t be nominated. Biden is a big Jamaican/Indian sniffer.

Yeah, she has an undergraduate degree in journalism and a master’s degree from the University of Phoenix. Either should disqualify her. Kudos to Sen. Tuberville for throwing a red flag on this wokester!

The Navy should never be lead by a female. And they wonder why young men aren’t joining up.

Thank God for Tuberville.

Nothing but disgust at a military that will go to the matt over it’s desire to fly women around to kill babies.

I only read the headline, but I’m left wondering if this person is a genuine female or what?

Tuberville is holding up ALL promotions. This outrage is that the female is being treated EQUALLY to the men who are also promoted.
