[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
“The strength of our organization,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle argued in the 2023 report, lay in, among other things, “seeking out the boundless benefits of diversity.”
The Secret Service offers “leadership training on how best to support LGBTQ+ employees” and “training on unconscious bias” which is the idea that all white people are innately racist, and tries to guide more “more inclusive decisions” while “increasing empathy” for minorities.
Special Agents in Charge are tasked with DEI which distracts from their core duties, but diversity and its boundless benefits was not why the Secret Service existed. The Left was.
“Anarchy is a crime against the whole human race; and all mankind should band against the anarchist,” President Theodore Roosevelt had warned in his annual message to Congress.
Several months earlier, a leftist anarchist had murdered President McKinley. Roosevelt, always a man of action, headed out by boat, train and wagon, to the scene, took the oath of office in borrowed clothes and launched a war against the Left.
“When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insignificance,” he declared while urging Congress to ban leftist literature from the mails.
He wanted to give the federal government the authority to suppress the leftist radicals by signing treaties with other nations to outlaw anarchy “like piracy and that form of man-stealing known as the slave trade; for it is of far blacker infamy than either.”
While these efforts failed, Congress did approve the expansion of the Secret Service to protect the president. And Theodore Roosevelt became the first president to be formally protected. (Roosevelt was shot later by an assassin at a campaign event in Milwaukee, but continued his speech. The bullet remained embedded in the muscle tissue of his chest for the rest of his life.)
The track record for preventing leftist presidential assassinations was mixed. After the radical terrorists Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in Massachusetts, a plot by anarchists to bomb President Herbert Hoover’s rail car in Argentina was averted locally. The Secret Service successfully stopped a Puerto Rican nationalist terror attack against President Harry Truman, but failed to prevent a Communist from murdering President John F. Kennedy.
And it once again failed to stop President Donald J. Trump’s assassin until he had taken his shot. The nation’s first true federal law enforcement agency had been designated to protect presidents in response to a wave of radical leftist terror. Earlier proposals to retask the Secret Service, including after the assassination of President Lincoln, who had created it to stop counterfeiting, to protect presidents had been turned down until the anarchist reign of terror.
Unfortunately the Secret Service, like much of federal law enforcement, drifted from its original mission. Rather than fighting leftist radicalism, the Secret Service embraced it.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, formerly of Biden’s protective detail, and boosted by Jill Biden to serve as director, made it her mission to remake the organization into a 30% female force and to pursue DEI. “I am very conscious as I sit in this chair now that we need to attract diverse candidates,” she told CBS News.
While the Secret Service may not work so well at stopping assassins, it has an ‘Equity’ team that works “diligently to address the needs of the agency’s diverse workforce” through “caring support, informative training sessions” and “cultural awareness events”.
Two of the three top executive roles in the Secret Service were held by women, by Cheatle and Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Sjoberg Radway who was brought in to find new recruits.
Beyond 30% female recruits, the Secret Service was committed to a 12% disabled workforce, hiring without regard to” disability (physical or mental)” or “gender identity” which is very promising for mentally ill transgender recruits, but not those whom they are supposed to protect.
And it holds an annual “Unity Day” to “pay homage to the unique accomplishments that various ethnic groups, cultures and individuals with disabilities have made to our organization.”
“Embracing a diverse and inclusive workforce enables the Secret Service to be more responsive and better prepared to address the evolving security threats facing our nation’s leaders,” the Secret Service claims, without clarifying exactly how using diversity rather than ability saves lives. Was Trump better protected because the Secret Service has a more “diverse” workforce?
The Secret Service claims that it only hires 1 out of 250 Special Agent applicants and DEI ensures that many of those will be hired for affirmative action reasons rather than merit.
The Secret Service career page images of its ideal recruits features three women, two of them minorities, and one minority man; a promotional recruitment video centers on a black woman with no white men in sight. The same tends to be true across Secret Service literature where I had to flip through endless pages of ideal diverse agents in search of one single white man. But the pictures of white men usually only appeared in the photographs of actual training exercises.
“I’m a black female and that’s not what people imagine when they think of a Secret Service Agent,” a pull quote from the protective assignments section gushes.
An organization once tasked with fighting leftist assassins is now instead focused on “positive organizational change where fairness, equality, diversity and inclusion are put into practice by all Secret Service employees.” And perhaps not stopping Trump’s assassin was one example.
DEI is a fundamentally ideological program and beyond lowering the effectiveness of any organization, it also introduces radical political agendas into the body of the group. Did those biases play any role in the failures of the Secret Service during the assassination attempt?
It’s difficult to know, but the only way to be sure is by weeding politics out of the Secret Service.
President Theodore Roosevelt turned to the Secret Service to protect presidents from the Left. But if the Secret Service and other federal law enforcement agencies are infiltrated by the Left, who will protect Republican and conservative public officials from their radical ‘protectors’.
Mo de Profit says
There are laws in the UK that were written during Blair’s reign that were intended to prevent islamic extremism and they are, today, being used to prevent free speech by normal white men and women.
Coincidence or planned?
Tony Bliar is now highly influential again.
Sjam says
Blair, like Starmer, Sunak, Johnson etc all have one thing linking them in common: The WEF.
Michelle says
It has all been planned from the beginning of the 1960s through the opening moves in taking over the bureaucracies, especially Law and Education, to the deliberate turmoil in the ME and Nth Africa with ever so convenient excuses to do so (the lie about Iraq attacking Kuwait for no reason(Kuwait was stealing their oil), the ever so preventable 9 11 to the convenient Lockerbie massacre.) These were all planned by muslims but allowed to proceed by those in control who knew what was going on but wanted a reason to act.
Blair is ONE of the more obvious criminal puppeteers as his wealth gives him far more power than politics ever did.
WRT the main article IMO the deep state removed JFK as his arrogant (to them) presumption that he was in charge was too much for the men who elected him as a tool whereas Johnson was deep in their pockets. The totally redacted CIA files on that case tells us everything but now the deep state is so confident that they don’t even pretend to hide it viz the woeful bureaucratic story on the Trump attempt. They now know that they never have to tell the truth UNLESS someone cleans them up.
Birder says
The elites removed jfk becuz he wanted to get rid of the “federal reserve”—-which isn’t “federal” at all but privately owned by elites and controls us all (The Creature from Jecklly Island-book). Also, the plan for a one world order has been in the making for years…..as in not long after the US founding.
DetroitOtaku says
That isn’t true at all. JFK never wanted to “end the Fed.” JFK ended the Silver Standard, effectively solidifying it and putting us one step closer to fiat currency.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Anything, that is, anything, that abnegates meritocracy concurrently promotes less than optimal results. This certainly includes the modern, social concept of diversity.
Author James Douglass’, “JFK and the Unthinkable”, presents a highly compelling argument for the cia offing John Kennedy.
Consider their former skill set and record overseas and, more recently, here.
I say, “former”, because they too have gone woke and diverse and these contagions will end up, or maybe has already, remove them from the best of the West.
Evidence of this may be seen in their recruitment ads as well as in their recent results.
Harry Truman did not understand the real impact when he created the cia in 1947, or did he?
Snuffy Carter says
Years later, Truman said he regretted signing off on the creation of the CIA.
DetroitOtaku says
That’s because your enemies are born centralizers. You’re not going to centralize them to death.
The problem with Collectivism is that someone else is always better at it than you are.
DetroitOtaku says
That’s because your enemies are born centralizers. You can’t beat centralization with more centralization.
The problem with collectivism is that someone else is always better at it than you are.
NAVY ET1 says
Very well done, Daniel. A historic refresher does bring perspective.
I’m a little surprised, after the Butler fiasco (where many questions remain unanswered) that Trump didn’t put together his own conscripted security detail that’s less “diverse”.
There are situations where the argument could be made for diversity. I can’t think of any offhand, but a security detail is certainly not one of them.
There’s a reason that “transitioning” biological females aren’t found competing against biological males, and that’s because they’d lose every time. This isn’t a slam against women. It’s simply a matter of physical attributes.
And to exclude white male ex-military members who’ve spent time sweeping the streets of Kabul because they’re not “diverse” is part of the reason we’re voting for Trump and it’s another among many leftist ideologies that not only looks bad on paper, but worse in the real world.
Did anyone see the 5 foot tall chunker fumbling to put away her sidearm at the rally? I rest my case.
Hardball1Alpha says
Remember in the Clint Eastwood movie “Line of Fire” where he quips about Rene Russo’s character as a female Secret Service agent being “pure window dressing” to appease the Feminists and politicians?
Sadly, the US military has been battling this for decades now. ET1, I’m sure you’ve run across VA Healthcare literature that is filled with “MST, or military sexual trauma” counseling and therapy ads… and I distinctly remember Senators Pat Schroeder and Diane Feinstein, while demanding women in frontline combat units, saying “the military personnel are far too professional to allow sexual assault or harassment to occur” (paraphrased) when confronted with predictions of exactly what’s now being considered an epidemic in all branches of the service… once again, pure window dressing.

Domenic Pepe says
This is the sneaky cunning treacherous Biden Clinton Obama Samantha Power way and modus operandi of implementing their insidious and destructive criminal plans for betraying and stabbing in the back America and US citizens.
” … it’s not at all strange for people to wonder if a handpicked Biden leadership chose to allow weak points because it either did not care or was hoping something would happen. ”
They always make sure that ” plausible deniability ” protects them from being accused of treachery and malfeasance directed against America and US citizens. Which is the real truth.
They deliberately created the conditions for the INVASION of America by millions of illegal aliens across the Mexican border into America to happen.
They deliberately caused the destruction and suspension of US immigration la and enforcement.
They deliberately created the conditions for the murder of 100,000 US citizens every year by Mexican manufactured fentanyl/drugs and the pushing of these drugs into America by Mexico.
Mexico is the enemy of America along with their US leftist democrat allies in the White House and Congress.
They also follow their sneaky deceitful cunning dishonest and duplicitous ways to betray America’s greatest ally Israel and the Jewish people.
The leftist democrat party of America is a traitor to America and US citizens and US Working and Middle class people of all backgrounds.
Allan Goldstein says
….well, the man who tackled Robert Kennedy’s shooter waS black….
Then again, he did NOT work for the Secret Service. 🏈
RAM says
Roosevelt Grier followed with this song:
Allan Goldstein says
How did you get that to post❓
In any event, thank you for doing it. ~
Michelle says
Was he the policeman who was accused of actually firing the shot that killed RFK?
I ask as IIRC I remember an article that someone posted somewhere several years ago that he had collected all available images of the murder and that going over them and the witness eye accounts he was certain that this cop was the only one in position to have fired the kill shot and his weapon had been fired. I am sorry that I cany say no more as it was some time ago.
IMVHO the same deep state elitists organised RFK’s murder just as they did JFK’s and for exactly the same reasons and Sirhan Sirhan like Oswald was perfect as both had a motive and both were present but…plan B is always there.
Allan Goldstein says
Rosie Greer was an NFL all-pro defensive tackle who was built like Charles Barkley but a few pounds heavier. After he retired, he became a bodyguard for RFK’s sister-in-law. He was just out of reach of Sirhan Sirhan when he saw spotted the gun, and didn’t quite tackle him in time to stop the shot.
Dr. Don Rhudy says
Allan, the killing shots came from the back as wounds and powder burns on RFK’s coat demonstrated. Only Government men were behind him. There were four wounds. The FBI/CIA really wanted that man out of business.
Allan Goldstein says
I don’t buy the underlying assumption that Buck Compton would knuckle under to such a conspiracy.
He would not.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Highly probably, Ms. Michelle, the same set of like-minded people.
They have the same mindset and motive today.
As Nayib Bukele said a couple years ago about the rapid decline of America, paraphrasing, ‘it happened too fast to be a natural process or by accident.’
It’s an inside job.
Why do they fear Trump (and now with Vance) so much? Why?
Who stands to gain? Who stands to lose?
What is gained or lost?
Michelle says
What is lost?
The undeserved absolute power of mega money or capitalism at its very worst as it tries to emulate the millennia of absolute rule by aristocrats by becoming them. Have a look at who their children marry. It is always someone from the same group and no fairy tales possible now.
The aristocrats of past history always had some who actually believed in noblesse oblige, but not the mega money lords of now. The Godfather III which IMO was not a good movie did show how many of these rich families operate to preserve their wealth and position as the Mafia had thought them honest and law-abiding. Check on how the starters of these rich families made their money.
The money elite wish to insulate their position by the destruction of the open gateway that allows men like Vance to pass through: the middle class.
They control the Marxists although those fools have no idea at any level that they are just puppets aiding and abetting the elite. This has been so since Engels helped to edit the manifesto. The elite saw the threat in Marxism despite its idiotic idealism, so they subtly took it over and used it as they saw fit. Every current socialist government in the west is simply a tool of the elite without even knowing it. It would be laughable were it not so terrifying as the elite will NOT care if Israel is nuked out of existence or the entire west falls.
China’s ruling elite live a life just like our elite and their children are spoilt and untouchable by law (rapes and even murders. There were some old Hong Kong movies that showed this, but I doubt that they exist now.
All communist regimes now have leaders intent on grabbing money as they seem to have a clue about who is running the world and how but now our political class who eat the crumbs off the table of the elite and use their blind eye to ignore everything. That is why Trump. DeSantis, Vance and Farage are the most valuable humans on this planet as they have a clue (Not Vance WRT islam)
Steven Brizel says
This director of the Secret Service is grossly incompetent and should be fired
Kynarion Hellenis says
She is much worse than incompetent. She is in the grip of delusion which directs all her thoughts and actions towards destruction and chaos.
Gordon says
Not incompetent-she is carrying out her part perfectly. They use incompetence as a cover for their misdeeds and malfeasance.
Michelle says
That is the long-term reasoning behind diversity.
internalexile says
Maybe it will come out later, but Bongino is hearing from good sources that she is being directly ordered to lie.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Yes, heard that. Highly intriguing.
She only has two people above her: Mayorkas, Biden.
It’s time to bring in the cadaver dogs.
TRex says
I’ve seen her on tv a couple times. She looks like a “dead man walking”. She seems to have that far-off gaze in her eyes like someone who knows she’s going to pay for her fuck ups. She knows her lies will be uncovered and being a good little soldier she’ll take the hit for the top brass to keep their asses covered. The DEI she so covets only goes so far and it won’t shield her from scrutiny once the investigations begin.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Big money seems to have joined an oligarchy supporting the left.
Noah Andeark says
according to pedophile Bill Gates CoPilot AI, the Secret Service has rules about red ties.
Yes, there was a recent directive from the Secret Service that agents should not wear red ties⁵. This rule was implemented after an incident where an agent guarding former President Trump was photographed wearing a red tie that matched Trump’s tie at a campaign rally. The concern was that it could make it harder to distinguish between the agent and the person they were protecting, potentially posing a security risk⁵.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Actually, the opposite is true. Confusing the identity of the target would be a good thing.
Maha says
The agents of chaos don’t want any confusion. They want Donald Trump gone.
Tionico says
Tha reminds me of the old Irish Leprechaun tale about the hidden pot of gold. The one who hid it boasted no one could find it. It was buried at the base of a tree. Someone identiried the ree by tieing a yellow ribbon round the base of the proper tree. So the Leprehchaun made wyllow ribbons just like that and tied them to EVERY tree in the woods. Thus what was hidden wae revealed then hiddden again.
If EVERT Secret Service agent wore a big red ie just like Donald’s.amd the same blue coat, he sniper would have to shoot them all to get Trump. But by the time he’d fired couple rounds he’d be “made” and offed.
This report proves SS wanted Trump to stand out for easy identification.
Same reason this supposed Master Crooks was allowed, perhaps even helped, to access that “sloping” roof in broad daylight in easy range of the ine man they do NOT want to become their new Boss. Why is that? Because tthey know their little charade will be over.
If I were trump I would demand at this point that the identiy of EVERY SS agent present tht day be “relocated” and they all get separated and scattered.. or permanently separated from their present [ositions. Then FLLOD the SS with loyal and skilled people.Turn these “”loyal” SS folks out to pasture. Or send them to do mop up in gaza or some sigh. See how they like REAL combat when tthey are the target.
Hannah Katz says
Those tiny women who struggled with their weapons as they tried to “protect” the 6’3″ Trump by gathering around him were pretty lame.
Allan Goldstein says
They are currently being told in their debriefings to accuse Trump of groping them as they gathered around him. 😏
Maha says
You mean the little female agent who was ducking BELOW Trump’s body?
Allan Goldstein says
Yes….and he was hung enough that she brushed against it.
She’ll claim that he may be a right-winger, but he dresses to the left.
Greg says
Now that Democ-rats have turned murderous, what else could their “SS” be?
Kynarion Hellenis says
I am so unhappy to think you have spoken the ugly truth.
Al in St. Louis says
“Schutzstaffel” is German for Protection Squadron.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Keep eyes wide open, always.
Martina Vaslovik says
It has been my candid observation over many years that the more diversity you have the less there is to celebrate.
notebeat says
They are intentionally and successfully poisoning as many of our crucial elements for national security as they can.
But make no mistake, intentional security failure is evil masking itself in incompetence and expecting us to believe it.
They wanted to finalize their continuing coup on this nation on July 13th. I would bet my house that Obama, Pelosi and the Clinton’s we’re all sitting anxiously on the edge of their couchs waiting for their kill shot so they could be the new ‘Kennedy Killers’ changing history with their own bloodthirsty hands.
They wanted this entire nation frozen in fear from the visual of Trump having his brains scattered on that stage and crowd of followers behind him.
Then they fully anticipated implementing martial law and gun confiscation or what ever they wanted with no organized push back at all. These people are evil and need to be held accountable.
Intrepid says

Really? Golly gosherooni, I feel safer already.
Seriously though, Cheatle obviously does not understand what security is and what her job is supposed to be. We aren’t hiring dimwit public school teachers here.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Of course, she, herself, was a (incompetent) diversity hire and obviously with less than a stellar mind or skill.
So much with “Dr” Jill’s value set.
Tionico says
then there would be bloody handprins all over them, right? If not.. LIARS
Steve Kardas says
My take is much more sinister. The apparent “gross incompetence “ was staged. These creeps have no problem taking the heat for getting Donald murdered because they murdered Donald on purpose. Mission accomplished. Cheatle and others resign in “disgrace” and move on to prearranged cushy appointments at universities etc…. The roof slope excuse crap is just more glaring proof that the powerful really do think all of us are stupid.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Well, they do “have” the DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, Pentagon, so who would investigate or indict? Clearly Garland is nothing but a tool of this cabal.
THX 1138 says
“The Secret Service Was Created to Stop Leftist Terror. It Became the Left.”
It had to become the Left. So long as Leftism is being taught at the universities the culture will slowly and surely become Leftist. It all comes from the philosophers and intellectuals at the universities.
The same destructive, nihilist, ideas are still being taught at the universities and will keep on being taught at the universities after President Trump is long gone from the White House.
Remember the “Reagan Revolution”? Remember how Reagan was going to save America? President Reagan has now been dead and buried for 20 years and things have only gotten much worse.
President Trump is a very courageous man in many ways, but one president cannot save a country.
Only the right philosophy taught at the universities can save America. That philosophy is not Christianity (Christianity prepared the ground for Marxism) but Objectivism.
“The present state of the world is not the proof of philosophy’s impotence, but the proof of philosophy’s power. It is philosophy that has brought men to this state—it is only philosophy that can lead them out.” – Ayn Rand
Intrepid says
Recently you bemoaned the fact that there are few positions available for Objectivist professors at the university level. So I thought I would do a little research to help you out.
Here’s what I found:
forum.objectivismonline.com/index.php?/topic/1901-objectivist-professors/
www.atlassociety.org/post/government-jobs-for-objectivists
ari.aynrand.org/about-ari/get-involved/
www.atlassociety.org/post/careers-in-medicine-and-social-work
I doubt if you will bother to look. You seem much happier whing and complaining. And the main universities will never set up the Ayn Rand Department of Objectivism.
As always, sucks to be you.
DetroitOtaku says
“a leftist anarchist had murdered President McKinley.”
The issue with that is that the assassin wasn’t an Anarchist at all. He was actually an open Marxist, and the media labeled him as an anarchist to cover up that fact.
Gordon says
There is no inherent advantage to diversity. There is absolutely no need for diversity in the workplace or anywhere else. Everybody has the same experience. I’ve worked with whites, blacks, homosexuals, asians, hispanics, men, women who were competent and hard-working. But their skin color, sex or sexual orientation added nothing. Some people from those same groups were lazy and worthless. I didn’t give a shit where they came from, how they grew up, what their “lived experiences” were or anything else. The only question is whether you can do the work.
TRex says
It appears to me the left is hell bent on paying “reparations” to every so-called “victim” group that ever existed. Regardless of competence, they are being elevated to positions they are not qualified to do. The left, with their savior mentality, wants to announce to the world they have wiped out racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. to bring about a more just society. With all due respect, it’s like giving a severely handicapped child the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the World Series game. It touches our hearts and gives the child a once in a lifetime experience he could never achieve on his own. He knows that. We all know that. The child will return to his station and the game will go on with the players who have arrived at the game on their merit. the left thinks the child should stay on the field along with others unqualified to field a position because they are victims of racism, sexism and on and on. This mentality will ruin a functioning society but they don’t care. Their DEI fantasy accomplishes nothing but the degradation of the will to excel towards any endeavor that requires competence.
Onzeur Trante says
Here’s an opportunity for the feckless GOP to prove themselves. Their demands for all that took place during the assassination attempt must be relentless and unforgiving until legitimate answers are provided.
Should they fail to do so, they deserve the derogatory label.
jimmy!!!! says
indira gandhi would like to comment on diversity hires but sadly cannot due to….
TruthLaser says
That remark is…Sikh.and very Singhing.
BLSinSC says
I surely wouldn’t pick that rosie odonnell agent to guard me! I guess she’d come in handy if an assassin had to run around her to get to me, but could she PHYSICALLY do anything to stop anyone??
Our “STANDARDS” should be VERY HIGH for certain jobs due to the IMPORTANCE of the SUBJECT! A short, fat Secret Service Agent just doesn’t instill CONFIDENCE nor present a DETERRENT! We should have only the BEST of THE BEST Guarding OUR President, VP, and CANDIDATES! Let the pudgy Nana’s handle the Guard Shacks or First Lady Tea Parties! I’m not saying that a WOMAN cannot do the job – only IF SHE MEETS THE STANDARDS!
And speaking about STANDARDS, people need to KNOW what is EXPECTED and HOW they can QUALIFY. It’s up to THEM to do the WORK required to MEET THE STANDARDS. Having a particular skin tone or sex organ or sexual preference should NOT be a FACTOR!
Intrepid says
Cheatle. One ugly, murderous miserable woman. Or is she trans? I’m not really sure. She promotes the hell out of it by focusing on the hiring of them.
Is it any wonder the agents are a collection of soy boy men and short fat women?
Hopefully the complete DHS house cleaning, including the Secret Service, begins in January
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Oh, i don’t know, she kinda reminds one of the warmonger, Victoria Nuland. The dudette who set up all those cia bases and labs along the Ukraine border. Lots of physical resemblance, don’t you think?
Although, Victor, er, i mean Victoria, did manage to follow through on the promises she and Biden did on that Nord pipeline.
steve says
Daniel,
I read you everyday, and greatly appreciate your writings and insight. But I must correct you here. A communist did not kill JFK (assuming you are referring to LHO). He was killed by his own government. There is absolutely no doubt that LHO did not fire the kill shot. In fact, it is probable he did not shoot at all, since he was almost certainly on the 2d floor in the cafeteria.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
For sure.
Please check out the James Douglass tome, JFK & the Unthinkable. Lots of detail.
TruthLaser says
Those believing the government killed JFK should consider the role of the mob boss of New Orleans. That does not leave the government out of it. It does not leave LBJ of Texas out of it.
TRex says
After nearly 60 years many don’t believe the truth has been told about the JFK assassination. Most of us on this board probably won’t live to know the truth about the attempt on Trump.
LionelM says
Cheatle and Crook? Just sayin’.

“Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?… The moment,
you own it, you better never let it go. You only get one
shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity
comes once in a lifetime, yo! …you better lose yourself… ”
— Lyrics, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself–
IMHO Thomas Matthew Crooks was a psychopath and clearly displayed the symptoms of the psychopathy spectrum, or definitive traits of the psychological dark matter swirling around in the labyrinth of the primeval psychopathic mind. Psychopaths make up (1) percent of the US general population and 1 in 5 inmates in US prisons are diagnosed as psychopaths. The songs, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” and Blackstreet’s ” No Diggty” are psychopath’s favorite fans.

The religion of “Diversity”. What nonsense!
Tionico says
Anyone who has ever pulled a sweep in an eight man racing shell KNOWS firsthand that diversity is the LAST thing anyone wants. Yu ONLY want eight big strong MEN very close to each other in height, arm length, strength, weight, to pull on those sweeps. Then there is the cox.. he skinny little runt with the megaphone sitting in the stern sheets calling out the cadence and carefully, accurately, assessing his own crew and the opponents to warn then inform his own crew WHEN to give it every gramme of srengtth they can muster to beat the other boats.
Lone up all the oarsmen after the match and there is perhaps a bit of ‘diversity in terms of skin colour, but NONE oh physical attributes. Then take a look at all tthe cox’ns and they will be very different from the oarsmen as a group, but near identical to each other.
but they are not out to do anything but cross that finish line first, even by a mere quarter inch.
TRex says
It’s important to know your place. The practice of positioning the right personnel, in any endeavor, is the key to success. The addled brain of the leftists, raised on “participation trophies”, thinks success is using every crayon in the box and staying inside the lines are just a suggestion.
JS says
You can’t make this up. The person’s name in charge of DEI at Secret Service is Lucious Hires III. An absolute left wing nut. We let this nonsense happen. I fear we can’t get rid of it from our society that results in our decent into third world status. National debt, $35 Trillion, outrageous!

It’s not just in the Secret Service. This plague is wide spread and infecting the entire country. Boeing for example.

Kevin Nienhuis says
As per usual, you’ve nailed it, Daniel, except on one (not insignificant) point: the JFK assassination … Oswald was NO communist, but he sure played one on TV … I’m Canadian, and have noticed that Americans have a hard time wrapping their heads around a very simple fact: The Deep State was busy manufacturing false “narratives” long, long before Donald Trump ever came down the escalator … To this day, in addition to 44 critical CIA documents that remain under lock and key, Mr. Oswald’s tax returns have NEVER been released … (hmm … can’t imagine why!)
Rusty says
Every minute spent on DEI training, is a minute not spent on practicing shooting skills, or patrolling rooftops. Every dollar spent on DEI, is a dollar not spent on training and equipping agents. Every bit of focus on DEI is a lack of focus on protecting the president.
Hire the best people and train them to be the best possible secret service agents. Nothing else is, or should be, in your mission statement. Not one minute should be wasted on anything other than your mission. The mission of the Secret service, AS MANDATED BY LAW is protect public officials, and fight counterfeiting (including cybercrime and child trafficking).
In 2023 the Secret Service director said “”Part of the things that we need to continue to do more is to be open and speak openly about diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. And when every one of us within this agency can say this is a mission imperative, then we have achieved our ultimate goal.”
“Strategy is focused on achieving excellence through talent, technology and diversity.”
NOPE. Excellence is achieved through talent and training. You mission is above – there is no other mission. Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility is not a mission imperative.
Dr. Don Rhudy says
Americans delude themselves with the belief that our National Government, founded as it was on sterling principles, must itself be nearly pure. But it is not pure at all. It is too large, filled with too many people, to avoid the corruption that infects its departments and agencies. All large organizations become corrupt because greed for power and enrichment beckon and entice all, even the most pure of heart. Here corruption came in spurts alongside rapid growth, beginning chiefly in what is wrongly called The Civil War. That war enabled massive industrialization of the northern economy with an equally massive growth of national government. The present government could be split into two, three, or even four separate but united nations and the populaces rid themselves of some of the tyranny and corruption that characterizes today’s government, but shed all of it? no, and be a dominant world power? no again.

Like a cancerous tumor, the govt requires ever more resources to accomplish its goal, devour the host. At its present level of expansion the govt will, at some point, have as many employees and dependents as there are citizens to finance it. What then, plunder foreign resources like in the days of the barbarians? The lack of foresight is only equaled by the lack of historical knowledge.

When everything becomes the left, all else must be purged. Then the purged left must continually purge itself, because that is the method of governing.

but failed to prevent a Communist from murdering President John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Oswald was no commie. He was, perhaps a passy. There is NO way he fired the fatal shot, and probably not even any of them. (they came from THREE distinct directions and elevations). hat Italian Caracno ex-military rifle he supposedly used fires a relatively weak round that is also relatively light weight. As I recall he had a fairly lowpower riflescope, and at the range from which he had to have fired (IF it was indeed he who did so) his bullet path would have been far more steeply downward than is observed in the extant film. Several credible eye witnesses reported shots foming from at least two, and from most of them three, distinct directions. Even if THAT part is mistaken, three or more rounds were fired in such rapid succession as so all but preclude the possibiliy of one man, alne firing all three runds in such rapid succession, AND from different directions (per eyewitnesses who had no “dog in the fight”)
