Monday: The ‘woke’ ways of President Biden and Kimberly Cheatle’s US Secret Service

 

RealityBites by Broc Smith

The 'woke' ways of Kimberly Cheatle's US Secret Service (nypost.com)

"Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has unabashedly embraced woke initiatives at the agency ever since she took over two years ago — including recruiting at Pride events, hosting seminars on pronoun use and even bringing in a popular YouTube female daredevil to attract a more diverse workforce.

"Cheatle, 53, unveiled her marching orders in the Secret Service’s 2023-2027 strategic plan, demanding agents to be “focused on achieving excellence through talent, technology and diversity,” documents reviewed by The Post show.

“ 'We must embrace diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) across the agency,” wrote Cheatle, a longtime friend of First Lady Jill Biden who was plucked in 2022 from her previous job as global security boss at PepsiCo by President Biden to be the second woman to lead the federal agency. “DEIA must be demonstrated by all employees — leading by example — through ‘every action every day.’”. . .

"Part of the diversity effort to attract women included letting YouTube influencer Michelle Khare — who’s best known for posting videos of herself training to become everything from an astronaut to a bomb squad officer — give the Secret Service academy a try.                "Khare’s “I Tried Secret Service Academy” 41-minute segment has scored more than 12 million views since posting in November 2022.

Getting to Ground Zero in the Assassination Attempt Investigation - Molly Slag

The bad news is that Rep. Comer plans to begin his inquiry into the debacle by examining the Secret Service’s director, Kimberly Cheatle. However, all knowledge about the debacle lies with the agents on the ground. She’s a desk jockey.

Trump Was Denied Additional Security Contrary To Secret Service Assertions, WaPo Reports (legalinsurrection.com)   "A new report from the Washington Post confirms that the Trump campaign asked the Secret Service for additional security and was denied. Alejandro Mayorkas denied this was true during a recent interview. He and Kim Cheatle of the Secret Service should resign immediately." . . .

"Here’s part of what Sean Davis wrote at The Federalist:

Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.

They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime reportedly diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.

Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.

 Secret Service chiefs REJECTED Trump's requests for more agents and snipers at his events for two years before assassination attempt - as their shocking reasons are revealed | Daily Mail Online   . . ."In fact, furious US senators took it upon themselves to confront Cheatle as she herself hid behind her own security agents.

"She was shielded by her officers after the senators pursued her down the corridors of the RNC and demanded she explain how a gunman was able to get a clear shot at Trump. 

"Cheatle was in the Milwaukee convention hall to oversee security arrangements on Wednesday evening -  just hours after making a 'cover-your-a** call' to senators about the shooting in Pennsylvania on Saturday night." . . .

SCOTUS Girls Gone Wild: The Right to Crap in the Streets

Ann Coulter
. . ."But with just two more votes on the court, these deranged justices would turn every city in America into a dystopian nightmare where zombie drug addicts crap outdoors and get high all day." . . . 

"On MSNBC, they're convinced that the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity will finally usher in the long-feared Trump Dictatorship, though I'm almost certain the Supreme Court explicitly limited the immunity to presidential acts authorized, or even required, by the Constitution.

"Staging a coup would not be covered. Neither would murdering political opponents.

"(One of the most alarmed guests was former CIA chief John Brennan. Wasn't he involved in a bit of unauthorized surveillance of American citizens, as well as lying to Congress about it?)

"MSNBC: What if Mohamed Atta were president? According to SCOTUS, EVERYTHING HE DID WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY LEGAL!

"What if TED BUNDY had been elected president? But for a few votes in a few precincts, he could have been ... OH MY GOD!!!

"Where on Earth did Clarence Thomas get the idea that raping and bludgeoning coeds is part of a president's core functions? That's CRAZY!

"As liberals carry on about the conservative majority on the court, I direct your attention to the three liberals on the court, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson -- aka "Girls in Robes Gone Wild" -- and what a majority of them would mean for our country.

"In City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, the court was asked to decide whether the "homeless" (in the sense that "I am Hope Diamondless") have a constitutional right to camp anywhere they please. Thankfully, a majority of justices found no such right in the Constitution.

"But the dissenters concluded, Yes! Mentally ill drug addicts have total immunity from any local health and safety ordinances.

"To illustrate how bonkers this is, consider that both the crazily woke governor of California, Gavin Newsom, and the certifiably woke mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, pleaded with the Supreme Court to allow them to shut down homeless encampments. That has been impossible since 2019, when the 9th Circuit -- and the 9th Circuit alone -- ruled in Martin v. Boise that "the Eighth Amendment prohibits the imposition of criminal penalties for sitting, sleeping or lying outside on public property for homeless individuals." . . .

How nuts are the three liberal justices? They're well to the left of a California Democrat. 

But these robed dingbats think they know better than governors, mayors, district attorneys and sheriffs -- you know, the people who actually have to deal with the homeless on a daily basis. (It seems relevant at this juncture to recall that Harvard Law professor Larry Tribe warned President Barack Obama that Sotomayor is "not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is.")    Full article here.

Kamala Harris proves again she’s not a better candidate than Biden

Douglas Murray (nypost.com)   

"If the Democrats have any desire to win in November, Kamala cannot be anywhere near the top of the ticket. If the Republicans want to win, they should pray that is exactly where she is."  DM 

"On Thursday night, from the convention in Milwaukee, former President Donald Trump held the attention of the world.

"Trump’s account of the attempt on his life one week ago was honest, poignant and unforgettable.

"His successful efforts at unifying his party and his promise to unify the country reverberated far beyond the Milwaukee convention center.

"Just a few hours earlier, another contender for the presidency was addressing another hall full of supporters.

"With Joe Biden absent due to COVID, and almost certainly about to be pushed out of the race by his own demoralized party, Kamala Harris is kicking things up a notch.

"On Thursday afternoon, she addressed supporters at Westover High School in North Carolina.

"Never mind the world watching — it’s not clear that all the people at Westover High school were watching.

"So how did she do?

"In a word: terribly.

"From the moment she bounded onto the stage, Harris reminded people of why this November’s election is Trump’s for the losing.

"First came the fake hysteria of finding herself on a stage in front of all these people: the almost-hyperventilating note Kamala hits when she wants to sound as if she is really excited about something.

"She started by saying how great it was to be “with so many incredible leaders” in Fayetteville.

"Her smile was so broad, you worried her face would run out of space." Full article...

Bill Maher Trashes MSNBC For HYPOCRISY After PA Rally Attack on Trump

Booker and Harris laugh at the ordeal of Judge Kavanaugh

Ex-Harris Staffer Says She Gives 'Soul-Destroying Criticism': Report - Business Insider  . . ."Some said Harris would refuse to analyze briefing materials set forth by employees but then scold them if she appeared unprepared.

" 'It's clear that you're not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work," one former staffer told the newspaper. "With Kamala ["she/her"] you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you're constantly sort of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why."

"Gil Duran, who worked in Harris' office in 2013, when she was California's attorney general, told The Post that the turnover in the vice president's office pointed back to her." . . . 

 Kamala Harris is a very weird person (nypost.com)   . . ."Americans tend to tolerate presidents who have proven to be stupid or incompetent, but Harris is downright weird. After she lied to Lester Holt by saying, “We’ve been to the border” and he replied by noting this wasn’t true, she came back with “And I haven’t been to Europe!” Then she let out a giant, weird, inappropriate laugh and made the weird admission, “And I mean — I don’t understand the point that you’re making.”

 "Politicians often don’t understand when they’re face-planting, but they usually don’t come right out and say, “I don’t understand,” because that tends to make things a little too easy for their opponents. Just like Nixon never came out and said, “I am a crook.”

"Any five-minute TV interview with Harris — heck, even her own self-promotional videos, such as the instantly notorious YouTube clip in which paid child actors visiting NASA gamely tried to not look creeped out by Weird Kamala — becomes another piece of evidence for her enemies to club her over the head with. It’s gotten so bad for Harris that even state media outlets such as CNN are regretfully informing the public that she just ain’t got what it takes." . . .

It’s Shocking How Many Democrats Think the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged

 Matt Margolis – PJ Media

. . ."Enter Joy Reid, a primetime host with a long and storied history of lies and deceit [...] decided to take this one step further by implying that the whole assassination attempt was actually staged and choreographed for Trump's political benefit." . . . 

The American Spectator

 . . ."What struck Marcus was that Mark did not come across as a stereotypical conspiracy theorist or a lunatic. He seemed rational enough, albeit prone to believing in unfounded theories. As Mark ate his caesar salad and veal piccante topped with mussels, he reiterated his belief that Trump could do anything. This conversation left Marcus pondering how someone like Mark could hold such strong convictions without any solid evidence.

"The answer, of course, is obvious. "Why wouldn’t Mark, if he has a steady diet of liberal media, think that Trump is capable of killing innocent people?” Marcus asked. "After all, they say he will deny women their rights, he won’t let black people vote, he will destroy democracy, and on and on and on. Mark is conditioned to believe that Trump is a unique evil and nothing should be put past him."

"Ironically, it’s the same kind of coverage that would radicalize someone and make them feel morally justified to shoot Trump.

"I certainly have my questions about the assassination attempt, which all revolve around “how could this have been allowed to happen?” Each new development raises disturbing questions for sure, but deep down I don’t want to believe what some of the evidence has me wondering.

"The problem is that those who hate Trump want to believe every crazy thing said about him." . . .

Rep. Ronny Jackson, M.D. releases first medical report on former President Trump’s ear injury - Peter Barry Chowka   This should anger Joy Reid beyond her reasonable limit. TD

. . ."I have been with President Trump since that time, and I have evaluated and treated his wound daily. He is doing well. As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would be assassin.The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear. The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear." . . . 

REVEALED: Obama Lied to Everyone About Biden's Senility at Infamous L.A. Fundraiser – RedState

"I want to point out the obvious here. When given the chance to tell the truth, Obama and his underlings lied to everyone. They didn't just abstain from commenting on Biden's troubles at the fundraiser. They came out publicly and countered them. They claimed that anyone who pointed out his senility was pushing disinformation, giving the press everything they needed to run with the "cheap-fakes" nonsense."

. . ." Regardless, it's all too little, too late. Even if Biden does drop out, and that's looking less and less likely, no one in the Democratic Party has clean hands, including Obama, who is
obviously trying to orchestrate this entire thing. They knew about Biden's condition and they lied to the faces of every voter in America. Their late-game shift, which is wholly out of political convenience, counts for absolutely nothing." 

New Democrat Cope Drops: Make Mitt Romney Their Nominee

  Bonchie – RedState

. . ."Democrats chose to pursue the path that led them here. They spent years lying about Biden's condition. They lauded his pick of Kamala Harris based on intersectional qualities despite her obvious flaws. They refused to moderate on even the most serious issues, such as the border crisis, instead going full-steam ahead with Bernie Sanders' agenda. Now, they are desperately trying to find a way out of the mess they created." . . . 


"How desperate are Democrats to dump Joe Biden? Desperate enough to start floating the idea of using an open convention to make Mitt Romney their nominee. 

"No, I'm not kidding. The New York Times published a piece by Aaron Sorkin on Sunday suggesting that the former Republican presidential candidate could be the savior Democrats need in this dark time. 

"If you aren't familiar with Sorkin, he wrote "The West Wing" and is seen as a political savant on the left, even when his fantasy-driven drivel is so clearly counter-productive. With that said, is Mitt Romney going to end up being the Democrat nominee? Of course, not. Despite his infamous "moderation" and penchant for stabbing Republicans in the back, the Utah senator would never accept. 

"Further, the Democratic Party is a far-left party in 2024. The idea that the majority of radicals would join hands with a too-online minority to "save democracy" by nominating a Republican is laughable. In an open convention, you'd be more likely to see Bernie Sanders pushed forward than anyone described as a "moderate.' " . . .

‘He was a pious man’: The Gaza neighborhood shocked to find Israeli hostages in their midst

 CNN

"Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, said that approach fits Hamas’ strategy to get Israel “bogged down in the urban centers of Gaza and push them into a counterinsurgency that cannot end, which is the perpetual war Hamas says it wants.' ”

"The Aljamal family was widely respected in Gaza’s Nuseirat camp. They were known as pious and prominent members of the community. While people knew they had connections to Hamas, neighbors say no one could have guessed how deep those links truly went.

"When Israeli forces stormed the Aljamals’ building on June 8 they found Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv, hostages who had been captured from the Nova music festival on October 7, cowering in a darkened room.

"The experience of the three men – alongside that of Noa Argamani who was held in another house nearby, belonging to the Abu Nar family – echoes testimony from previously released hostages. They describe being confined among the civilian population, rather than in Hamas’ vast tunnel network under Gaza.

"In the aftermath of last month’s rescue, neighbors in Nuseirat, a refugee camp in central Gaza, told CNN they were shocked to learn that Ahmed Aljamal, a physician, and his family had kept hostages in their midst.

“ 'Had we known, had he told us, we would have taken safety precautions, hide or move to somewhere else,” one neighbor, Abu Muhammad El Tahrawi, said.

"Dr. Aljamal, 74, was a general practitioner and also led the call to prayer at the local mosque, waking early every day to get there before dawn." . . .

America’s education system is failing and more

 NY Post; Letters to the Editor  

Vanishing history  "It should come as no surprise that the current generation of American students don’t know our nation’s history (“U. don’t know jack,” July 17).

"This trend has been underway for years, with colleges and public schools dismissing history studies as irrelevant. Equally disturbing, the seminal conflict of World War II that gave rise to today’s troubled geopolitical borders is often given little more than one class period in an entire school year. Previous surveys revealed that many students couldn’t even identify who the Allied leaders were. It is dangerous for a nation to forget its heritage."

Lawrence Kadish, Old Bethpage

About half of Americans say public K-12 education is going in the wrong direction | Pew Research Center  . . . "We asked adults who say the public education system is going in the wrong direction why that might be. About half or more say the following are major reasons:

  • Schools not spending enough time on core academic subjects, like reading, math, science and social studies (69%)
  • Teachers bringing their personal political and social views into the classroom (54%)
  • Schools not having the funding and resources they need (52%)

About a quarter (26%) say a major reason is that parents have too much influence in decisions about what schools are teaching.

How views vary by party

A dot plot showing that Democrats and Republicans who say public education is going in the wrong direction give different explanations.

Americans in each party point to different reasons why public education is headed in the wrong direction.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say major reasons are:

  • A lack of focus on core academic subjects (79% vs. 55%)
  • Teachers bringing their personal views into the classroom (76% vs. 23%)

In turn, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to point to:

  • Insufficient school funding and resources (78% vs. 33%)
  • Parents having too much say in what schools are teaching (46% vs. 13%)" . . .


This video examines the question of why public education is failing parents and students.

Report: Analysis Reveals Third Weapon May Have Been Used In Trump Assassination Attempt; Oh please; not another "grassy knoll" theory.

 John Symank; resistthemainstream.com 

 “So basically law enforcement let the shooter get on the roof, knew about him being there before Trump got on stage, and then they let him open fire on President Trump and his supporters,” Laura Loomer wrote on X before suggesting the snipers “need to be charged.”

 It is now being reported by @benshapiro that the Secret Service may abide by an insane policy where a potential assassin can take the 1st shot before USSS lethally responds.  This may explain why snipers waited for Crooks to shoot first. Does this make sense to anyone else?!

"An audio analysis of the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the rally before the shooter was killed.

"CNN published results of forensic analysis from Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate from the same location.

"This report alleged that three shots were fired by “weapon A,” and the next five were consistent with “weapon B.” Weapon A presumably would have been the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, while weapon B was most likely the Secret Service sniper who returned fire and killed Crooks.

"However, the report also alleges that a possible weapon C emitted a final “acoustic impulse,” which may have belonged to a third, previously unknown shooter. 

"The FBI has stated that Crooks acted alone." . . .

A terror for sniper teams is to shoot an innocent person and spend years in prison for murder:

When will Democrats be held responsible for their Trump-hating rhetoric?

 Ben Kew - American Thinker  "Takei, who is one of Hollywood’s most severe sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome and has previously advocated for pedophilia, is one of numerous leftists to claim that Trump is either exaggerating his injuries from the assassination attempt, which was inches away from killing him." . . .

Every TV celebrity who had a show claimed Trump would take them off the air. Oddly enough, they stayed on air through the previous Trump administration. "Trump will be coming after me!"

The incendiary Joy Reid made it through Trump and is still stoking enmity between the races just as Joe Biden pits half the nation against the other half. TD

How Democrats relentlessly dialed up violent rhetoric against Trump before assassination attempt — comparing him to Hitler (msn.com)

"Democrats’ rhetoric stoking fear and hatred against former President Donald Trump — including repeated comparisons to Adolf Hitler — is coming a harsh new light following the assassination attempt against him on Saturday.

"Trump’s political opponents have long used incendiary language in response to his more controversial statements — commonly casting him as a cartoon villain hellbent on bringing about the end of democracy itself.

"Their divisive statements frequently include tossing around words like “dictator” or making overt references to the Holocaust or Nazi Germany.

"Republicans now blame this very rhetoric for stoking the assassination attempt that got Trump shot and left a hero firefighter dead and two others critically wounded." . . .

The Democrats were just fine with this disgusting performance by this practiced demagogue, Joe Biden. Surely America has better leaders than this man. TD

The media’s gaslighting has been so extreme that they brushed under the rug the feeble fumble the entire American viewing public saw them seeing first-hand

"In their laughable charges of White House “cover-ups” and press-briefing misinformation in the wake of the visibly slumping Joe Biden’s debate debacle, the legacy media are demonstrating an even steeper cognitive decline.

"Is the collective short-term memory loss of the sharks in the White House press pool so severe that they have forgotten their own full-on frenetic feeding frenzy just five months ago? On that previous Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Night when the incumbent did his best Sen.
