Elon Musk has called for the resignation of the leadership of the Secret Service after their poor performance at the Pennsylvania rally where President Trump was almost assassinated. Musk tweeted: "Extreme incompetence, or was it deliberate. Either way the SS leadership must resign."

Here is the BBC report of the event and the Secret Service's failure to do anything when a rallygoer pointed out the man with the rifle.
There is also video of a Secret Service countersniper team with their guns trained on the shiper BEFORE he fired. There is a real question of why they let him get off eight shots before they took him out.
Erik Prince, former navy SEAL and founder of the Blackwater security firm has detailed the multitude of security failures by the Secret Service and numerous areas where they failed to follow usual Secret Service policy in protecting someone at an event. He calls the security failure at the Buler, PA event either "malice or massive incompetence". He says that the only thing that saved Trump was that the amateur shooter failed to adjust for the 5MPH wind in taking aim.
The Biden regime brought the current Secret Service director over from Pepsi where she had worked in corporate security. Since heading the Secret Service, she has been obsessed with DEI, and 48% of Secret Service agents have resigned. There was also an incident in the detail guarding Kamala Harris related to an agent hired to fill a quota getting into a major physical fight with other Secret Service agenst over a misinterpreted comment.
While the Secret Service has had very professional women agents for years, DEI apparently meant bending the standards to meet the arbitrary DEI quotas. The result was many of the female agents at the Trump rally behaved eratically and unprofessionally, and in one or two cases did not seem to even know how to holster a gun.
The other consideration is that the Secret Service comes under the Department of Homeland Security, whose head, Secretary Mayorkas, has been impeached by the House of Representatives and who has played politics with Sercret Service coverage of candidates previiously such as denying any coverage at all to Robert F. Kennedy, even though Kennedy's father and uncle were both killed in political assassinations.
There is a lot in this debacle that needs further investigation, like why the shooter also had explosive devises in his car, but can we expect an honest investigation by the highly polititicized FBI?

So you think your unsubstantiated bull crap is "impressive" Bolshevik Bob? And you just can't help yourself with that demonization, can you?

more "links" Impressive.

Maybe trump should start his own Secret Service. They could wear brown shirts and armbands so we could all recognize them
|
I understnad DEI very well. Here is an article on the rot in the Secret Service it has caused:
www.city-journal.org Sean Ono Lennon, son of JOhn Lennon of the Beatles, observed that supporters of DEI were "Dumb Evil Idiots". He got that one right. The current head of the Secret Service once served on Joe Biden's personal detail when he was vice president. This is a political appointment to a job that should not be political. |
Then you don't understand DEI or don't want too.
|
That is EXACTLY what DEI does.
|
That isn't what DEI does.

Little Bobbie is a quota-head DEI fanatic who does not seem to comprehend that the important thing in hiring is getting the people most capable of doing the job. If you set ANY arbitrary criteria other than qualifications to do the job, you get a less qualified workforce. If you restrict jobs to white males, you will get a less qualified workforce because invariably there will be some women, some blacks, some Hispanics who can do the job better than the lowest tier of the protected class. Positions in the Secret Service, and all government positions, should be open to everyone to apply, but selection should be strictly based on those with the best ability to do the job. It is clear that the Secret Service under Biden, like the FAA, is hiring based on quotas instaed of qualifications and the results show it. Is it going to take a major air diasater to get the quotas out of the FAA? The near misses ought to be enough to set off the alarm bells. Is it going to take a successful assassination to set off the alarm bells?
And it is still an open question, as Elon Musk and Erik Prince point out, or whether this was extreme incompetence or worse. |
For now, I'm confining my remarks just to the bad security failure at the Butler, PA event. Having had a lot of experience a long time ago with military matters regarding physical security, it is really hard to imagine how this happened. With the line of sight of the shooter's rooftop with the speaker's stage and the very short range between the two, how did they not secure that rooftop? That should not have gotten by the lowest ranking member of any security team and is unbelievable that it was not a primary part of the security plan. Whether it is incompetence or worse this is gravely concerning.
|
No, you idiot, it is the fault of hiring by quotas instead of qualifications. When you have to take less qualified people to fill any quota, no matter what the quota is, then you have a less capable organization. That is where DEI is a problem. It is like all the near misses that have been happening with airplanes since the Biden regime started quota hiring air traffic controllers with DEI. We need to always hire the most qualified, no matter who they are. Hiring should be colorblind and only focus on the ability to do the job.

Oh, so its a woman's fault? Sorry it's hard to keep up with you guys.
Blacks Women LBGTQ Did I miss anyone? |
That analysis by Blackwater's founder of the Secret Service mishandling of the security for the Trump rally in Pennsylvania is just devastating. I suspect they will be having to answer a lot of questions from Congress.

As everyone now knows, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to grant presidents immunity for "official acts" has given Donald Trump unlimited power to do literally anything he wants with zero consequences whatsoever.
