New in PJ Media:
In the end, he just had too much baggage. Sam Brinton, the Biden administration’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy at the Department of Energy, is now out of a job after being charged with felony theft and grand larceny for taking bags that didn’t belong to him at the Minneapolis and Las Vegas airports. But Old Joe Biden’s handlers still have a great deal to answer for regarding Brinton. Most notably, there’s this: how did this clown who appeared far more interested in showing himself off wearing women’s clothes than in actually dealing with nuclear waste get a high-level security clearance?
There will probably never be any answer to that question, given the sycophantic Leftist establishment media, but it remains an urgent question given the likelihood — actually, the outright certainty — that this administration will continue to appoint people more for their symbolic value than for their abilities. Did Brinton get rushed a security clearance because of his cardinal importance to the administration as, in Brinton’s own words, “the first gender fluid person in federal government leadership”? Will the administration give out high-level security clearances to anyone who can help them show how attuned they are to the latest Leftist cultural fads?
The Daily Caller reported Wednesday that according to “a former Justice Department Official in the Environment and Natural Resources Division,” it’s juuuust possible that “due diligence on Brinton was sidestepped over concerns about discrimination law and public accusations of discrimination against an LGBTQ person.” No kidding, really? How likely is it that Brinton received special consideration for a security clearance because the administration was so very eager to have on board a cross-dressing, gender-fluid individual with plural pronouns for his singular self? About as likely as the possibility that Old Joe Biden will garble an English sentence tomorrow.
But in this, the administration is yet again playing a dangerous game. “Such an action would be irresponsible, the former official said, as Brinton’s position within the Energy Department requires comprehensive knowledge of America’s nuclear secrets and extra vetting known as a Q clearance, which can take months to obtain if the bureaucratic process is not expedited.” Irresponsible? Well, let’s not get carried away. It’s really all a matter of priorities. If your priority is to protect the people of the United States from possible devastation from nuclear waste, then “irresponsible” is not a strong enough word. But if your priority is earning some woke points from your fantasy-addled far-Left base, then giving Brinton high-level clearance was the height of responsibility. And we all know what this administration’s priorities are.
There is more. Read the rest here.

That pun just writes itself ? ?
Wellington says
As a friend of mine said, in a warped way it was fitting that this weirdo was put in charge of spent rods.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Even weirder – that Biden couldn’t find a freak who wasn’t also a thief
Wellington says
But fitting again, Infidel, since Biden himself is a thief in the traditional sense (as is much of his family) and, far more menacing, a thief in a more expansive sense, i.e., destroying the rule of law and the Constitution on a regular basis by way of such monumental evils as the continued weaponization of federal agencies like the DOJ and FBI and not securing whatsoever the southern border—and all the while demonizing conservatives en masse, as Biden did in his utterly despicable September 1st speech in Philadelphia.
In brief, if Biden isn’t a POS, then no one is Moreover, I look upon him as a traitor. You bet I do.

Wellington,
Biden is such a traitor that he makes Benedict Arnold look like a patriot.

Its very simple. Don’t hire the freak, the Gay-stapo will haul you into court.
We’ve seen the first trans military officer (a physician) turn out to be a spy for Russia. What wonders of our topsy-turvy country will come out next?

How Did Biden’s Gender-Fluid Nuclear Luggage Thief Get a High Security Clearance?
In the end, he just had too much baggage.

Brilliant!
But yes–this fool never should have been hired in the first place.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah I wondered – couldn’t they have found another gender fluid wierdo from MIT who doesn’t steal women’s luggage?
Alkflaeda says
I would be surprised if the luggage stealing behaviour was a new development. The chances are that, if they had pursued a security clearance via normal channels, they would have found cautions and fines for similar activities.
The myth of conversion therapy dates from the days when behavioural therapy for all sorts of behaviours ranked as undesirable used negative reinforcements. Even if this were not ethically questionable, to do it consistently requires admission to a psychiatric unit, rather than mere therapist visits. I am sceptical as to the likelihood of anyone using such methods in the 2000’s – a society that advocates for abolition of corporal punishment cannot logically use punitive interventions with people with mental health issues or learning disabilities.
Alkflaeda says
To clarify – when I used the word “myth” above, I meant the claim that such behavioural interventions are in therapeutic use today, not that I am questioning whether they were used in the early to mid 20th century. But then, with due respect, if the proponents of any activity classed at some point in history as criminal seek to normalise it by having it treated as a diagnostic entity, they will get the clinical treatments that are the norm at the time.

It’s like an airport sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from stealing luggage
Luggage bags everywhere
People watching on the stairs, you know they all got hair
I just wanna steal, just take the bags
Got the money here to buy ‘em, guess I’m just a bad fag
Bags in the front room, clothes in the back
Ditch the motel room with the skirts & the hat
I tried to get away but I couldn’t get far
Now I’ve lost my job with Biden, now ain’t that bizarre
Don’t arrest me ’cause of my fetish
I’m trying not to act skittish, aha-ha-ha-ha
It’s like an airport sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from stealing luggage
