President-elect Joe Biden will tap current Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist to temporarily run the Pentagon while the new team awaits confirmation of a permanent DoD chief, according to four people familiar with discussions.
Norquist, the Pentagon's confirmed No. 2 since July 2019, would take over on Jan. 20 and run the Defense Department as acting chief until the Senate confirms retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin for the position. Austin's confirmation has been delayed as the next administration seeks a waiver for him to serve, which must be approved by both houses of Congress. Retired officers are required to be out of uniform for seven years before becoming Defense secretary, and Austin retired in 2016.
More needs to be said about Politico hiring Ben Shapiro. Guess they were jealous of Newsmax quick rise (or maybe there's a shortage of qualified, professional conservative journalists). Sad for quality journalists that are stuck there as Politico sells itself out. UNSUBSCRIBED.
Hopefully, Norquist went through a de-Nazifi … de-Trumpification procedure.
biden would tap someone violent dude on video

Pompeo mocks Iran's Soleimani in fiery defense of Trump-era policy as Biden attempts reset'So how many of you remember Qasim Soleimani?' Mike Pompeo said at CPAC. 'Allah rest his soul.' 'The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.' ~Adolf Hitler The one thing that is absolutely certain is the influence that rhetoric has over conservatives in place of intellectualism or even common sense. Fiery? Dude was stilted and hesitant sounding. Instead of showing humility at the deeds one does, Pompeo does what is the opposite....boasts about an unprovoked deed, creating animosity towards the country from an already unfriendly nation. It is placing salt on an already infected wound.
