[Breitbart] As many as six U.S. Secret Service agents have been suspended for conduct during the assassination attempt on President Trump.
A U.S. Secret Service official confirmed the suspensions to ABC News, noting that they came just four days shy of the one-year anniversary on July 13. On that fateful day, the bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks grazed the president’s ear. Firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed in the attack, while others were injured.
Following the shooting, an independent review by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determined that the U.S. Secret Service made mistakes that left the president vulnerable to assassination, per ABC News:
There were many mistakes made on the day of the July assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump by the Secret Service, but an independent review by the Department of Homeland Security revealed systemic issues within the organization and found that without reforms to the agency, “another Butler can and will happen again.”
In the aftermath of the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assigned a panel of four former law enforcement and national security officials to examine what went wrong, and how they recommend the Secret Service moves forward after the attempt on former president’s life.
“The Secret Service does not perform at the elite levels needed to discharge its critical mission,” the letter addressed to Secretary Mayorkas said, which was included in the report. “The Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static even though risks have multiplied and technology has evolved.”
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned 10 days after the shooting. A source close to the agency told ABC News that those suspended this week ranged from the supervisory level to line agent level.

By appearance, they couldn’t run security for a kindergarten exchange of Valentines. I don’t see why a ten day suspension solves their stupidly and incompetence.

There should have been demotions and firings, but the problem is systematic. I was not in the camp that this was an attempt to get Trump killed through letting the killer in, but I am probably now in the camp office checking out a brochure.

The Swamp is extremely good at suppressing, altering, hiding and basically destroying evidence of their shenanigans. The Secret Service should be disbanded and replaced.

Thanks, tw. But it seems we're still missing a report on his toxicology and, IIRC, there were rumors of visits to an FBI office. Also, if he was whacko, how was he able to buy guns online? I still get the feeling the media is letting important details slip through the cracks...just like they've done with so many other shooters.

What if there were enough nominal allies who figured they would fall victim to The Clinton Machine that they interfered by not interfering? Maybe Hillary! is so darn unlikable that a vote flood would have looked retarded no matter how much glass ceiling was sold, unlike billing Uncle Joey's doddering old fool stories about leg hair.
We know they had in their pocket election influencers because Obama was bragging about sending them to Egypt and Israel.
But I'll play your game, Johnny. If a conflict with Russia somewhere, anywhere, was already in the soup, would the easier sell be influencing the newbie or the 5' pantsuit shrew who sold Russia uranium? So in that sense, yes.
[LawEnforcementToday] A newly issued report from the California Department of Justice trumpeted a massive decrease in violent crime statewide and was hailed as “transparency,” and a “critical part” of regulating state responses and providing lawmakers and law enforcement with “the tools they need to make informed decisions,” by California Attorney General Roy Bonta.
However, according to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Danielle Echeverria, there is a major problem: the data that undergirds the report is “substantially flawed,” and the DOJ is fully aware of this fact thanks to a 2024 Chronicle report.
“Transparency is key for understanding, preventing, and combating crime in our communities. While crime rates have declined over the past year, public safety in our communities remains priorities one, two, and three. I encourage local partners and law enforcement to review this data and recommit to taking action,” Bonta said in a statement.
SIMPLY STATED - Inflate the previous year's crime numbers and then show lower current year numbers. Then claim a false Victory.
[BREITBART] Tuesday on CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... 's ''News Central,'' Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were ''going after anybody that is brown.'' Looks like ICE agents are on to something.
Discussing ICE agents and National Guard troops at Los Angeles's MacArthur Park on Monday, Gomez said, ''They did scare people in the park, and they tried to intimidate folks. So, that's what we're concerned about, that this is not serving any real purpose. They haven't gone after MS-13 gang members like they said they were, or criminal cartels. They're actually taking people off of those cases and having them go after hard working immigrants colonists, people that work at car washes, at restaurants at day laborer sites.''
He added, ''When I saw troops everywhere in foreign countries, I was intimidated, I was scared of people with big guns. I never thought that that would happen in the United States, would have an active military on our streets and that's what you have. There is this deep fear that's building and building and building because here's the thing, they are not going after criminals, they're going after anybody that is brown, that looks like me, that can't pass as what they say, as a ''typical American.'' That's why you're getting people who are not undocumented actually arrested. That's the fear that exists, that anybody, doesn't matter if you're a citizen or not, could be arrested and held in detainment for for a number of days.''

By his logic, ICE would be deporting a bunch of brown Puerto Ricans. Why is that not happening? Puerto Ricans are not illegal.

There is no doubt given the Liberal Socialist Democrat (LSD) Parties racial criteria, and ANTI-USA Citizen agenda.
That 10.5+ MILLION, other than White, were deliberately allowed to illegally enter the USA. Had key rouge elements that went on to cause Massive Protests, Riots, Looting, Damages, Murders and assaults in the USA to US CITIZENS and others.
The LSD's goal clearly was to allow anyone that was NOT White European, a free Illegal pass across the border.
That 10.5+ Million included:
Gangs (eg. MS-13),
Murders,
convicted Rapists,
Pedophiles,
Drug Cartel members,
Radical Islamics,
and yes, even over 400 known ANTI-US TERRORISTS.
The US DOJ is overdue in arresting those City Officials that openly call for Violating US Immigration laws, or caught hiding, and deliberately interfering with ICE attempts to collect criminals.

Don't know about Brown, looks 20 years inside lighter than the interview chick, but he does look like someone who would use his federal position to skirt around export laws to trade with cartels.
#7
Whenever I hear people like Gomez using the word "immigrant", I know they are liars. They purposely do not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrant as if all immigrants are here legally which is simply not the case. But Gomez wants us to believe that there is no difference. His intent is to deceive and that makes him a liar.

[AMERICANTHINKER] What Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... has achieved in the first six months of his non-sequential second term borders on the unprecedented. The most lasting and impactful accomplishment will be Trump's ongoing victories in permanently reining in a rogue and increasingly radicalized federal judiciary. His electoral victory in 2024 and uncompromising battles with the judiciary have rescued the United States from an irreversible decline and fall.
Over the past 70 years, the federal judiciary has increasingly assumed the extra-constitutional role of arbitrarily setting the boundaries of congressional and presidential authority. This has been an evolutionary process that reflected the American left's long-term strategy of appointing collectivist judges to the federal judiciary.
All Marxist-inspired despots of the twentieth century understood that party or state control over the judiciary is a key factor in successfully transforming a nation into a one-party socialist or communist state. This process was dramatically accelerated in the United States after Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... became president. During his two terms in office, he and the Democrat party, per the Marxist blueprint, were singularly focused on radicalizing the federal judiciary.
This single-minded determination culminated in Obama and his minion, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... , appointing vast numbers of radical left-wing judges during their combined twelve years in office. The unabashed and unconstitutional lawfare directed at Donald Trump and the January 6th protestors was a manifestation of their success.
Since the beginning of Trump's second term, dozens of Obama-Biden district court judges have unconstitutionally interjected themselves in Trump's lawful exercise of executive power, issuing an unheard 45-plus national injunctions in less than six months.
From the Constitution's ratification until the dawn of the Twentieth Century, courts did not issue any nationwide injunctions. Beginning in 1900 and spanning 21 presidencies, courts issued 170 nationwide injunctions. Of those, 112—or 65% of all national injunctions over 249 years—came during the four years of Trump's first term and six months of his second. By comparison, per the Harvard Law Review, the last Republican president, George W. Bush, experienced just six nationwide injunctions over eight years.
It is not a coincidence that this avalanche of injunctions began after the Obama presidency, during which he appointed hundreds of radical district judges. There are currently 631 serving District Court judges in 94 districts, and Obama and Biden appointed over 60% of them. This makes it easy to find a judge sympathetic to the Marxist-inspired Democrat party and willing to issue unconstitutional nationwide injunctions or conduct rigged trials against political adversaries.
After experiencing a record 64 nationwide injunctions during his first term, surviving the egregious travesty that was unconstitutional lawfare directed at him, and observing the appalling and blatant political persecution of the January 6th protestors, Trump came into office in 2025 single-mindedly determined to take on this Marxist monolith.
Trump knew that the Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... ' strategy was to derail his agenda. During the four years of his second term, they intended to file lawsuits continuously with their dependable sycophants in the judiciary. These judges would then issue an unending avalanche of judgments, restraining orders, and national injunctions that would freeze the Trump agenda.
They theorized that Trump would either openly defy lower court orders, thus alienating the Supreme Court and becoming susceptible to accusations that he was a fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... -inspired dictator, or he would not be able to aggressively marshal the legal team and strategy to fight continuous battles in innumerable district courts, the circuit courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court.
Trump, however, knew what was coming. Before his inauguration, he assembled an experienced and loyal legal team that was later installed in the Justice Department and the White House Counsel's office, expressly to contest the anticipated lawsuits.
Upon assuming office on January 20, 2025, Trump turned the tables on his feckless and fatuous adversaries by immediately issuing a massive number of executive orders. The Democrat party strategy was immediately exposed to the public as they and their fellow travelers predictably filed 328 lawsuits in the first 100 days of his presidency, stretching their credibility and resources to the limit.
Most importantly, Trump wisely allowed the processes to play out and did not traffic in unhinged accusations or hyperbole when reacting to the inane (and insane) lower court rulings and injunctions. However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... he made clear he would never back off in contesting every judgment, restraining order, and injunction. Lastly, he never threatened to ignore any court order, regardless of its merits or constitutionality.
These overall tactics caught the Democrat machine by surprise as they assumed Trump was incapable of restraint. Trump's willingness to respect the separation of powers was not lost on the Supreme Court Justices, who would be the final arbiters of the validity of many rulings, especially the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions.
As a result, Trump has amassed an unexpected winning streak, not only before the Supreme Court but in many lower courts, too. This streak included the monumental win in Trump v. CASA, Inc., which saw the Supreme Court permanently and dramatically limit district courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions. This effectively eliminates a major tool Democrats use to thwart their political opposition and abet their transforming America.

If you’re black pilled right now, you’re just not paying attention. I don’t have any time for people who aren’t looking for the way to win. Looking for the way to win means accepting that sometimes you have a setback but figuring out how to get around it.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
