DHS Is Investigating The U.S. Secret Service. Hope They Uncover What Caused The Debacle.

The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general is investigating the Secret Service’s handling of the security at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania where a would-be assassin attempted to kill the former president on Saturday.

A brief notice on the website of the DHS Office of Inspector General on Wednesday said the objective of the probe is to: “Evaluate the United States Secret Service’s (Secret Service) process for securing former President Trump’s July 13, 2024 campaign event.”

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) appeared to call Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) a “little b‑‑‑‑” after an awkward exchange with former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) at the Republican National Convention.

Gaetz taunted McCarthy on the floor of the convention Tuesday night, telling the former Speaker that he would “get booed off the stage” if he were to speak at the event. Van Orden reacted to a clip of the exchange on social platform X, where he pushed back on a description of the incident that said Gaetz needed to be “physically held back” by security.

Hi Lisa, Just found your website. Question: How many people work for you? The amount of info is broad and with the cartoons and quotes made my day. Democrats are more creative.

Thanks,  Teacher Tom

Hi, Tom. You made my day! Thank you for that.

My staff has become quite extensive over the years. 

Nope, it's just me. And Taco, my chihuahua who often paws at my keyboard, so if there are any errors, blame Taco.

And yes, it is hard work and it is nice to feel appreciated!

I agree about creativity and Democrats, and I'll go further, Democrats are more creative in every art field in existence since the beginning of time.

Thanks again..

Trump assassination attempt unlikely to have lasting political impact, observers say

Trump assassination attempt unlikely to have lasting political impact, observers say

The bullet that former president Donald Trump said grazed his right ear was one of dozens aimed at U.S. presidents, presidential candidates and other prominent elected officials over nearly 200 years.

But Saturday’s assassination attempt, while shocking, is unlikely to have significant political or economic reverberations given the makeup of the American democratic system and the fact that it didn’t involve an incumbent head of state, researchers say.

So, The Secret Service Knew This And Still Did A Lousy Job
U.S. intelligence received information in recent weeks indicating an Iran-backed plot to assassinate Donald Trump, which led to increased security around the former president. CNN reported that “there’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.”

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was seriously not happy with the way Morning Joe was taken off the air Monday, delivering a scathing on-air screed against the network’s handling of the episode and even threatening to quit if it happened again.

The popular political roundtable show did not air Monday, with a post on the Morning Joe X account explaining that the network would instead be showing continued coverage of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The decision to sideline one of the network’s leading news shows at a time of such historic importance came as a surprise to some—apparently including Scarborough.
