The Border Patrol, which is comprised of more than 19,000 agents, lost 4,281 federal law enforcement agents who left the agency between October 2020 and April 2024. Biden won the White House in November 2020.

I chatted with half a dozen of them at the Freedom Fest BBQ cookoff in Leakey, TX a few months ago. They were uniformly disgusted but loyal to each other. One said, “It sucks, but I took an oath.” Good guys.

The Navy is shedding specialists that have not seen the opportunity for promotion due to their skin color, gender, religious beliefs and sexual orientation being deemed unsuitable for advancement. Good luck maintaining fleet readiness.

The upside is that those agents who remain have become expert at making sandwiches.

True, I've been keeping tabs on the Navy's situation, and it's not good.
