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.
And as is so often the case with Biden and his handlers, it gets worse. Back in 2018, Brinton published an op-ed in the New York Times claiming that he had been thoroughly traumatized, and indeed, tortured, by “conversion therapists” trying to turn him away from homosexuality: “In the early 2000s, when I was a middle schooler in Florida, I was subjected to a trauma that was meant to erase my existence as a newly out bisexual. My parents were Southern Baptist missionaries who believed that the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy could ‘cure’ my sexuality.” Brinton claims that “the therapist ordered me bound to a table to have ice, heat, and electricity applied to my body. I was forced to watch clips on a television of gay men holding hands, hugging, and having sex. I was supposed to associate those images with the pain I was feeling to once and for all turn into a straight boy. In the end it didn’t work.”
However, Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. of the Reintegrative Therapy Association has revealed that Brinton’s claims don’t hold up: “Brinton claims he was in torture therapy as a young child for years and can’t remember the therapist’s name. He later claimed the therapy took place in his twenties. But even as he was attacking therapies that don’t exist, he was engaging in sadomachism (sic) and simulated bestiality with young men and women. Of course, no one cared about his credibility until he got caught stealing luggage.”
Whether or not Brinton’s claims were true, all these claims of torture and trauma would ordinarily be considered by those considering him for a security clearance. And if his claims are indeed false, that should have factored into the decision to give him the high-level security clearance he had. What’s more, the Daily Caller adds that “the rigorous process for obtaining a security clearance requires disclosing information going back at least 10 years. Subject matter can include financial information and mental health matters to ensure a federal employee is trustworthy and will not be subject to blackmail, the former Justice Department official said.”
Sam Brinton is so proud of his perversions that it is unlikely he could be blackmailed, but after all that professed trauma, the issue of his mental health should have been a consideration. Was it? Were proper procedures skirted in his case (actually, after his trips to Minneapolis and Las Vegas he has two cases)? The American people deserve answers. The American people will not get them.
I thought the 1st circus freak-show in this chickenshit administration was Richard Levine – a sloganeering incompetent prick who was hired for, and only for, same reason as Brinton . . . to check off a list of “firsts” in the bullshit category.
“MLK’S DREAM turned into his worst NIGHTMARE due to people being appointed, hired, and elected only due to the Color of their Skin and LGBTQ+ status and not the Content of their Qualifications!” SC
BIDEN: “I will pick a WOMAN (gender discrimination) of COLOR (racial discrimination) for the Supreme Court.”
Democrats: “Biden must pick a Woman of Color for his Vice-President!” (Kamala: “I’m Black? When? Oh wait… Yea I’m Black and I’ve always identified as such. Yes.”)
Once an activist/LGBTQ+/Democrat like this gets into any hiring position, whether it be city, state, or at the national level, THEY ONLY HIRE THEIR OWN! Those new hires now MUST vote for those who hired them to keep their job!
“In the end, he just had too much baggage.” Excellent!
I thought so. (Rimshot! 🥁)
I’m starting to think that maybe picking people for high office based on their skin color and their XX chromosomes doesn’t always get you the most qualified candidates.
In this surreal chickenshit administration, it’s only that & if they’re leftist woke fools who hate America more than they love themselves.
Rigged elections do indeed have severe consequences.
And what were his qualifications in the first .
If I were a trans rights activist, I would be a little offended by Brinton’s title
Biden gave him the job so he could say he hired somebody fluid gender. DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY of spent fuel and waste disposal. Can you spell”boondoggle?” The fancy word is “sinecure.”
How did Brinton know he was stealing WOMEN’S suitcases? Did he sneak a peek at the luggage tag?
How did he know? I imagine he scoped out feminine-looking and EXPENSIVE luggage to steal. Maybe there were times his strategy didn’t work out and we don’t know about it.
Could be. My own suitcase looks pretty neuter.
And yeah, he looked at the tag for a woman’s name.
How do I vote thumb up or thumb down?
This is what happens when you hire people based on the perverse and illegal ideal of DEI, instead of merit. The Democratic mantra of Diversity (Anti-white policies), Equity (Equal Outcomes/Socialism), and Inclusion (Trans rights) is just another Democrat language perversion that does the opposite of what it portends. It’s nothing less than the destruction of the idea of “Meritocracy”, a foundational principle of the American dream. In fact, even the term “Meritocracy” is now considered racist. It led to picking Kamala Harris as Vice President, Pete Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary, Rachel Levine as the transgender Assistant Secretary of HHS, Biden’s incompetent current black lesbian press secretary and, of course, Sam Brinton as the non-binary underwear stealing executive in charge of disposing of our country’s nuclear waste.
Now we have biological males destroying women’s sports and we have a transgender fake “Admiral” as the “highest ranking official of the U.S. Public Health Service”. He/She? also thinks that it’s O.K. to mutilate and castrate children in the name of “gender equity”.
Our country is rapidly being destroyed by these mentally diseased, corrupt Democrats and it is likely that we have ceded this country and our children’s future to an amoral, lawless, dystopian society that will become progressively poorer and more totalitarian. Just like every other Socialist/Communist state in history.
This is the kind of Freaks to keep your kids away from i mean i wouldn’t touch him with 39 & 1/2 foot pole or e ten 10 foot pole either
I wouldn’t either, but I’d beat the living hell outta him/it with it.
Sorry, but this creature is not fully human. It is some kind of Hybrid that has been programmed to appear knowledgable about nuclear waste. Progressives seem to be fine with all the mixed up genetic miscreants rolling around in our Country. Or what is left of our Country, which ain’t much.
This”GUY????”is a Perfect Advert for LGBTQ?????????????????????????
