It’s been three years since a “politically motivated investigation” by the Joe Biden administration resulted in a reduced rank for Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician who held the rank of admiral.
Now he’s back at that rank, obliterating the Biden regime’s attempt to reduce his rank for all of his retirement to captain.
Further, the military also has granted military honors to Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester at the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capital, who was shot at point blank range and killed by a security officer there at the time.
It is RedState that detailed the restoration of Jackson’s rank.
“Jackson was a triggering figure for Senate Democrats and some Republicans during Trump’s first term. The oleaginous Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson allowed Montana Democrat Jon Tester to turn Jackson’s nomination hearing to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs into a character assassination campaign. He was twice nominated to the rank of rear (two-star) admiral, and Mitch McConnell declined to allow a vote either time.”
Then the Democrats jumped into the fight when Jackson retired in 2019 and Biden was inaugurated.
There were anonymous claims he misbehaved while White House physician, and when a Department of Defense investigation failed to substantiate any offense, the Biden administration had the inspector general reissue the report with a different conclusion.
Jackson explained, “If I had retired and not gotten into politics, this investigation would have never gone anywhere. This was happening because I am a perceived threat to the Biden administration and because a few political appointees in the Department of Defense want to make a name for themselves.”
I was, and still am, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, and Joe Biden is a retired old FOOL.
After the Biden administration’s politically motivated attacks against me, I am pleased to share that my military rank has been fully restored.

On social media Jackson announced, “I was, and still am, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, and Joe Biden is a retired old FOOL.”

Further, the U.S. Air Force confirmed it is providing Babbitt with military funeral honors.

The Biden administration had denied that to her family.
But government watchdog Judicial Watch said a letter from Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier extends an offer to allow the special funeral procedures to take place.
The letter said the circumstances of the situation were reviewed and Biden’s determination “was incorrect.”
Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot and killed at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol protest as she attempted to climb through a barricaded door to the speaker’s lobby near the House chamber.
The government also agreed to pay her family about $5 million to settle a lawsuit over her death.
