The most important and important rule of the Biden administration is that nothing that happens is the fault of the Biden administration. Not only does the buck not stop with the president, it doesn’t stop anywhere in the executive branch, including, as we now know, the Secret Service.
After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, we’ve heard that the one-time president will likely be protected by a mix of Secret Service agents and state and local police. And as it has become increasingly clear that Saturday’s attack was a catastrophic security failure, the finger-and-butt-covering has begun.
SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR GETS NEW HEAT WITH ‘SLOPED SMOKE’
According to the spokesman of the Secret Service Anthony Guglielmi, the federal agency is only responsible for the real reason where Trump said, not the surrounding area, which claims the responsibility of the local police. This is abject nonsense.
The idea that the Secret Service isn’t responsible for a building with a sniper’s perfect line of sight 150 yards from where Trump is speaking doesn’t just inspire confidence, it’s only half-hearted. And the idea that keeping Trump safe is up to the local police and not an agency whose sole mission is to keep his protectors from passing the smell test.
We are talking about the life and death protection of the former and, at this time, the president of the United States. You do not outsource to the local police in a city of 13,000 people. It’s like asking Andy Griffith to hunt down ISIS.
The Director of the Secret Service, Kim Cheatle, we should know, is a big supporter of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. After Biden in 2022 made her the second woman to lead the agency, she boasted Security Magazine from his expertise in broken glass ceilings and the agency’s website states that Cheatle is responsible for executing the agency’s unified mission of “protection and investigation by leading a diverse workforce.”
It’s too soon to say whether this obsession with the DEI is affecting Trump’s safety, but we’ve all seen the video of the aftermath of the shooting, where a female agent shorter than Trump tries to cover herself and another struggles to hold her gun. . This makes the Keystone Police look like Kojak.
Let me be blunt, Cheattle needs to be fired. It should have happened a few days ago, but as Trump pointed out in the debate, nobody fired Joe Biden.

Jake Sullivan still has his work cut out after he said the Middle East was calm about 10 minutes before Hamas’s shocking Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Alejandro Mayorkas is still running a broken and crowded border, and now the director of the Secret Service is incompetent and has strange priorities ahead of Trump.
At this point, I don’t know what people need to do to get Biden fired. Maybe burn down the White House?
SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR RIPPED FOR ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
We all know that people make mistakes, and sometimes people are bad at their jobs. If that person was an office manager or a barista, we would all be safe. If your job remains to be the leader of the free world, you won’t be able to make oopsies.
Now would be a good time to start changing everything, for Biden to call on his inner Harry Truman, and say that the buck stops with him, and that he has the buffers to let people go when incompetence puts America and the lives of its citizens in danger.

But we all know very well that it will never happen. Once again, no consequences, no transparency, and no accountability, just the same pat on the back, and you’ll be better off in no time we’ll see.
America deserves much, much better than this. Corey Comperatore, who was killed under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, was, of course, like the other three victims, including Trump.
It’s no coincidence that when Donald Trump made a surprise appearance on Monday at the Republican National Convention, the Secret Service details looked different. Members are taller, more masculine, and more like law enforcement and less like Benetton commercials. But it was too late.

It’s too late to save the brave American husband and father, and it’s almost too late to save the Republican presidential nominee. It needs to stop, before more Americans lose their lives.
