Trump nominates Joe Kent as Director of National Counter Terrorism Center
The Post Millennial ^ | 2/3/25 | staff

Posted on 02/03/2025 5:03:06 PM PST by CFW

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he had nominated Joe Kent to serve as the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center. Kent, who hails from the Pacific North West, lost his wife Shannon, who was posthumously promoted to Senior Chief Petty Officer, in Syria. Kent is a veteran who served on 11 combat deployments with the Green Berets.

"It is my pleasure to nominate Joe Kent as the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center," Trump said. "As a Soldier, Green Beret, and CIA Officer, Joe has hunted down terrorists and criminals his entire adult life. Above all, Joe knows the terrible cost of terrorism, losing his wonderful wife, Shannon, a Great American Hero, who was killed in the fight against ISIS. Joe continues to honor her legacy by staying in the fight. Joe will help us keep America safe by eradicating all terrorism, from the jihadists around the World, to the cartels in our backyard. Congratulations Joe!"

ANTIFA isn't going to like this nomination.

@MrAndyNgo Breaking:

@joekent16jan19 has been nominated by the president to be the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center. From Battle Ground, Wash., which is near Portland, Mr Kent has been relentlessly targeted by Portland Antifa for years.

I love this. Wasn’t Joe Kent deprived of a House/Senate seat? One or two times?

Seattle libtards hate him as much as the Antifa pukes do. This is a good nomination, and I will enjoy the exploding heads.

Joe Kent has a great resume’ He ran for congress twice in Southwest Washington State. My speculation is that he lost because of mail-in ballot fraud. Alternatively the brain dead liberals of the suburban Portland metro fell in love with Marie Glusenkamp-Perez who checked all the right boxes.

After defeating incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler in the primary, Kent was the Republican nominee in the 2022 election for Washington’s 3rd congressional district, losing in an upset to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

I suspect fraud was involved.

It’s unfortunate that he lost, but at least she is no AOC. I believe she owns a auto repair or body shop so at least has some familiarity with capitalism. Maybe not my idea of a moderate but not the typical insane leftist that makes up too much of the modern Demoncrat party. Kent would have easily won if she was, and it was still close.

BRCC Presents: The Legend of Chief Shannon Kent


"Send Me: The True Story of a Mother at War" is the extraordinary story of American special operator and trailblazer Shannon Kent, who hunted high value targets on classified missions in the most dangerous locales on earth while trying to balance her life as a wife and mother.

Senior Chief Shannon Kent served multiple tours in Iraq, participating in numerous special operations that contributed to the capture of hundreds of enemy insurgents. A specialist in cryptologic warfare and fluent in seven languages, she not only paved the way for greater inclusion of women in Special Operations Forces, but was also one of the first women to pass the Naval Special Warfare Direct Support Course. Kent was killed in action in Syria Jan. 16, 2019, and posthumously promoted to senior chief petty officer.

Twice, I think. He was SO good. Most people believe it was stolen.
