FOX News: Trump to nominate Shanahan as permanent defense secretary: sources

President Trump is expected to formally nominate Patrick M. Shanahan to be his permanent defense secretary as soon as next week, two administration officials tell Fox News. This, after an internal Pentagon investigation concluded that the acting defense secretary did not show any bias in favor of his former employer, aerospace giant Boeing.

Shanahan worked at Boeing for over 30 years before coming to the Pentagon as then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s deputy at the start of the Trump administration.

Shanahan’s nomination had been held up by the White House since the Pentagon inspector general opened an investigation into Shanahan’s conduct following a report in Politico days after taking over for Mattis alleging Shanahan called Boeing-rival Lockheed Martin’s advanced F-35 program “f—ed up” and said the company didn’t know how to run a defense program following years of cost overruns and delays to the fifth-generation fighter jet.

"Many of the Jews in our Democratic Party are educated people who must know this, so that their maintaining this position, not speaking out against the rise of anti-Semitism in their own party, can only be ascribed to cynical selfishness, immorality or outright cowardice."

right wing pj gathering of conservatives who now launch attacks on Dems and ignore what the GOP now stands for from that which it once proudly stood for, ie budget hawks, smaller govt
Jews still vote mostly for the Dems, as usual, and if there is one or more elected Dems who may or may not be anti-semitic, they by far do not compare to those on the right...

Paul Simon is a former liberal Leftist. Then he got wiser with age.

He is a cofounder of Pj media.

So anon 8:24 is upset that he cannot lie abouit all the antisemitism that is in the Democrat party. So he attacked the messenger PJ Media

"one or more elected Dems who may or may not be anti-semitic"

Yeah, keep up with the make believe.

" ignore what the GOP "

I do not ignore the GOP. I loathe Mitt Romney, McConnell and other RINOs, who would lose a slap fight with a 3 year old at a playground.

I ean look at it. Mitt Romeny. He barely pulls ahead of Obama after the 1st debate and then he lets political hack Candy Crowley ise him as a doormat. He lets Obama get by with the one liner, "The 80s called they want their plicy back".

Which is really rich considering the libtards did not beleive the Russians were a threat in 2012 and then they do a 180 and claim that the Russians are everywhere.

Nope, definitely do not like Democrats (traitors). Nor do I like many Republicans

I am not ignoring the GOP. You however ignore reality.

David Duke really like Ilhan Omar. He recongizes the dog whistles and the stright up anti-semitism of the Democrats.
