This failure of presidential protection business is becoming alarming. In my day as a federal agent, doing these very things, neither the Secret Service nor my agency would have ever made mistakes like we saw unfolding at the Pa. Trump rally, if it was a mistake. In the wake of Trump’s near miss assassination, we have been fed multiple excuses by Biden government operatives and Democrat pontificators about who was to blame for letting the sniper get up on the roof, why he wasnt detected earlier (he was) and why he wasnt neutralized before he got his shot off at President Trump first. The perception of professional collapse is deadly.
In the well rehearsed scheme of CYA, especially in socialist societies, its nearly always the lowest rung on the ladder of any combined agency protection detail that gets blamed if things go wrong. In this case it was the poor Butler police. Then rumors leak out followed by the evidence of smartphone cameras, eye witnesses, developed informants and maybe even aerial drone footage we havent been told about that tells the true story. We didnt have those neat toys available back in my day. Now, we live in a remarkable time for information gathering that easily contradicts, in the face of vehement denials, the claims of it wasnt our fault.
To complicate the assassination attempt matter, we have since learned that a hooded cretin with a fully loaded AK-47 was apprehended outside the RNC convention in Milwaukee and that the two female senior Secret Service managerial agents, supposedly Hillary Clinton affectionados, were escorted out of the White House because they displayed severe anti-Trump sentiments. We can be assured as well that if Iranian hit men are on the loose to fulfill the fatwa issued by Irans Religious leader after Trump killed off their top general five years ago that Trump cant be protected by this lot. Whats going on here? I think we all know, it’s the collapse of the extreme Radical Lefts agenda to neutralize America. It will happen when we leave our leadership in the hands of a Leftist nincompoop.
In the aftermath of this incident at Butler, Pa., because by a mere lucky fluke or the hand of God, Trump survived, we saw photos of the shooter on the roof and people pointing him out to an unresponsive Secret Service who appeared to do nothing. We have since learned the counter snipers saw him but were ordered not to neutralize the threat until he took the first shot (WTF?). We were then gifted with the video of the fumbling three stooge female Secret Service agents, doubtless DEI hires, and wonder where did these clowns come from? One couldnt even holster her weapon correctly and confusion reigned. In my day, for screw ups like that, responsibility always rose to the top as a failure of leadership and, what do we find at the top? Another DEI hired as Secret Service Director, a woman with no professional protective services bonafides, put into the job upon Jill Biden’s recommendation because they were old friends.
That explains why agents on the ground are micromanaged into ineffectiveness. The Director of the Secret Service, Jill’s friend, didnt come up through the ranks but from the PepsiCo company. One reason the FBI has gone off the rails is because they keep raising DoJ lawyers, to the job of FBI Director when the Directorship should be rewarded to an agent who rises up out of the ranks as a known entity with a history of investigative success and adherence to the laws, rules and regulations the Constitution lays out. Presence and perception in politics are everything. Today, the USSS, like the FBI is now perceived as a malfunctioning agency due to a lack of professional leadership. Law Enforcement leadership, especially in the face of immediate violence, is not a trait that can be learned on a pistol range, it comes instantly the first shot is fired and training kicks in. We did not see it on Saturday last, when Donald Trump became the target of a deranged Democrat. Training is available on the battlefield and on the mean streets of Democrat cities, but the instinct for survival focuses the leader’s mind on muscle memory, tactics and procedures constantly rehearsed. Highly placed leaders without street or combat experience, when faced by emergency situations, invariably fall back to making decisions by committee (staffers) while time and the situation passes them by.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get prepared! (18Jul24)
