   WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ronny Jackson announced that the Navy has   
   restored his retired rank of rear admiral, overturning a 2022 demotion   
   that followed a scathing investigation that found major issues with his   
   behavior while he was the top White House physician.   
      
   The Texas Republican on Wednesday posted a June 13 letter from Navy   
   Secretary John Phelan saying he had reinstated Jackson to the retired   
   rank of a one-star admiral following a “review of all applicable reports   
   and references.” The Navy confirmed the move, with a spokesperson for   
   Phelan saying he “greatly appreciates Congressman Jackson’s decades of   
   distinguished naval service.”   
      
   The decision to restore Jackson’s rank comes as the Pentagon has become   
   increasingly transparent in offering benefits and consideration to those   
   it sees as personally loyal supporters of President Donald Trump, while   
   those who are seen as unsupportive of Trump have been pushed out of   
   senior roles across the military. Two weeks ago, Defense Secretary Pete   
   Hegseth fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who oversaw the intelligence   
   agency that produced an initial intelligence assessment of U.S. damage   
   to Iranian nuclear sites that angered Trump.   
      
   Following his 2019 retirement from the Navy, Jackson was retroactively   
   demoted following a yearslong investigation into his behavior when he   
   was a physician to Trump and former President Barack Obama. An inspector   
   general’s report found that he made “sexual and denigrating” comments   
   about a female subordinate, violated the policy on drinking alcohol on a   
   presidential trip and took prescription-strength sleeping medication   
   that prompted worries from his colleagues about his ability to provide   
   proper medical care.   
      
   Jackson gained notoriety for his over-the-top pronouncements about   
   Trump’s health during his first term. He was elected to Congress in 2020   
   following a failed effort in the first Trump administration to appoint   
   him the secretary of Veterans Affairs in 2018.   
      
   “I was, and still am, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, and Joe Biden is   
   a retired old FOOL,” Jackson said on social media, where he has called   
   himself an admiral despite his demotion.   
      
   Last week, military officials revealed that Ashli Babbitt, the rioter   
   who was killed by a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the   
   Capitol, would be offered military funeral honors.   
      
   Babbitt was a U.S. Air Force veteran from California who was shot and   
   killed wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders while   
   trying to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading   
   to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol as rioters interrupted the   
   counting of electoral votes certifying Trump’s 2020 loss to Biden.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024   
   Obama / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
