The agency has sacrificed its basic mission on the altar of DEI.
It was a shot heard around the world.
On Saturday, a gunman whom the FBI has identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a burst of rifle shots at former president Donald Trump, grazing his ear and nearly killing him. The attempted assassination is an historic, and perilous, moment. We’ll get commentaries and investigations, and the government will announce reforms.
But amid all the chaos weaves the thread of another story, one that reveals a mounting problem in our political life. A surprising number of the Secret Service agents protecting the former president were women. And, according to video recordings of the scene, many did not acquit themselves favorably.
Scene one: after President Trump ducks, a group of agents leaps to him and protects him with their bodies. A female agent who rushes to the stage acts bravely, without a doubt, but the point of the “huddle” is to protect the president. The agent was much shorter than President Trump, leaving his head and neck exposed after he stood up.
Scene two: as Trump enters the escape vehicle, a female Secret Service agent fumbles her gun and cannot find her holster; another female agent appears confused and, in the moment of crisis, decides to use both of her hands to put on her sunglasses; a third looks frightened and uncertain.
These agents wear the typical Secret Service outfits—Kevlar vests pressing against white shirts; black blazers with gold pins; dark sunglasses—but to an impartial observer, they do not appear to have the same poise, confidence, and strength as the male agents around them.
The obvious question: Why so many female agents? The answer, unfortunately, is the same as in many other institutions: DEI.

According to this post https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4251334/posts?page=63#63 Dan Bongino says the head of the selective service decided that most of the people who would be there “protecting” Trump were not even gonna be trained secret service agents - rather DHS “security” people who are not trained like SS agents.
Cheatle deliberately made Trump less safe. This was DEFINITELY an inside job.
Say, what, if anything, isn’t compromised?
Should be secret service, not selective service
Good question...
Good question...
That is disgusting and disturbing. They are evil.
.....as much as she was fumbling with her gun in all that pandemonium I was truly thinking........”she’s going to shoot herself accidentally”.
Thankfully she did not. Sadly, it’s so predictable. She was in the middle of a gunfight and should not have been there. Period.
The bottom line is who takes the blame if something goes wrong. Who eats the shit sandwich? On a ship, the skipper owns it all.
Looking busy and in charge, compensating for her cluelessness and fecklessness.
Why weren’t the agents STANDING on the stage protecting Trump? You know, like protecting him from snipers? Like SS guys always do?
I could see three females on the right side of the SUV and we’ve looked at the video several times it doesn’t appear that any of the three knew what they were doing
And they were short females too. How in the world could they expect to cover a president, especially one ais tall as Donald Trump
Good luck trying to use logic and reason for this.
It’s all about money and voting and power.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate doesn’t care about standards and performance.
They care about accumulating money for themselves.
If that means lower standards and poor performance, they don’t care.
It’s all about the money.
Same thing with Alec Baldwin firing that gun without double-checking it first.
I was personally humiliated many years ago when I was a rookie C.O. in NY State's Auburn Prison. I was responsible for counting a company of inmates in a cell block. We were supposed to count them on the way down the gallery, and again on the way back. I came up with what I thought was the right count. I went downstairs to the block officer's desk, and noticed his count for my gallery was one inmate short, and so copied his number off his total count slip onto mine. I ended up screwing up the count, because one of the inmates on my gallery was at work in the mess hall, and his absence hadn't been reported by the mess hall officer to the block officer yet. My count had been right after all, but I doubted myself, and used the block officer's count instead. The count ended up being delayed, which cut into the time officers had to eat their supper before they ran the inmates to the mess hall for the evening meal. I had to go up front to the Watch Commander, and explain myself. It was something I never wanted to experience again, and so I always verified not only my count, but every report and document I was responsible for submitting the remaining years of my career.

The Secret Service is looking for a few short fat chicks.
NO SS agent should be sporting a ponytail.
An ex agent said their movements were jerky and unsure.
Diversity rules have been killing female cops for years. And watch videos when female cops either have to fight a big male or join a fight with males. The big male will always get the best of the female until male help arrives. When the female cops arrive at a fight of males, they flitter around the edges doing nothing to help except yelling sensless words. Male cops know full well they are on their own when partnered with females.
Wow. That’s a tough job.
