President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

A pediatrician and former Pennsylvania physician general, Levine was appointed to her current post by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf in 2017, making her one of the few transgender people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide. She won past confirmation by the Republican-majority Pennsylvania Senate and has emerged as the public face of the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond," Biden said in a statement. "She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.”

...it is hard to believe that she was once a man.

Get thee to an optometrist!

[NetAddicted]

I presume he’s better looking as a man.

[TBall]

All I’m saying is you look at her and realize just how incredible modern medical technology has become.

[EQAndyBuzz]

It looks lovely. I bet the personality matches the appearance.

[Badboo]

AOC for the head of the US Space Command? In a way she is (over) qualified.

The Countries loss is PA’s gain.

[oldbill]

Back off everybody.

RINOS and GOPelites and “ conservative” writers like Will tell us that Biden and his people are saving us from Trump.

So be happy.

AOC for the head of the US Space Command?

No, that position is reportedly being held for congresswoman Sheila Jackass Lee.

Sheila Jackson Lee (DEMOCRAT!)
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
From Texas’s 18th district

On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]

Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

—Wikipedia (Note: they’ve since removed this info. Some lefty no doubt “reedited” the obviously very embarrassing piece. However, it IS for real and is saved at the WayBack Machine, Internet Archives website)

Oh Lord, Now I need eyebleach !!!

[Keen-Minded]

Agree!!!!!!!!!

[windsorknot]

The “best” pick for a job isn’t necessarily the most qualified for the position in the Harris/Biden Regime.

[ETL]

Liberal insanity on full display.
It’s going on all across the country.

[JohnBovenmyer]

?’s going to do for Biden’s PR and Rush’s show what el Reño did for Bubba! And make Reño look great in comparison. As the only thing which can possibly save us is the left overreaching, beyond their long reach to steal elections, we need to cheer this choice.

not only mentally ill, but it’s also a killer.
