Instead of fixing the systemic incompetence of the Secret Service, including politically charged staffing assignments and “equity” or gender/race-based hiring, the Secret Service now wants to limit President Donald Trump’s campaigning.
The Secret Service has recommended that the Trump/Vance campaign only hold indoor rallies. Hmm ... Is this because Trump’s rallies are so massive that very few indoor venues can hold the crowds? This is outrageous. If the Secret Service did its job, it could secure the rallies of President Trump.
Of the 8,000 employees in the Secret Service, only three were on site at President Trump’s rally. The failure was NOT due to the venue; this was likely a “leadership” failure. The now former director was trying to hide from the American people how many of her staff were present. She refused to say during her testimony before Congress. And now we learn that her replacement was actually the person in charge on July 13!
Despite stonewalling from the Secret Service, we are making progress. There is a new bill that demands the same fitness standards for both men and women in the Secret Service for field work. This bill (HR 9080) will end the gender and race-based “DEI” efforts in the Secret Service.
Because this is such a dynamic situation, we have AGAIN adjusted our faxing program so that your messages will have the most up-to-date information to urge Congress to support HR 9080, demand both the House and Senate appoint an independent commission of experts be assembled to quickly and fully investigate the Secret Service, and end the DEI push that contributed to the incompetence we saw on July 13. — Mat

The Secret Service and the Pennsylvania State Police both state that the FBI is leading the investigation. Keep in mind, “The America people have seen a Biden-Harris Justice Department that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bombs on Jan 6th, they can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs decision, they can’t us who put cocaine into the White House,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) says. The FBI also raided Trump’s home, coerced social media companies to censor Americans, falsely stated that the Hunter Biden laptop was faked, and retaliated against whistleblowers.
Rep. Jordan explained that there is a “healthy skepticism” against the FBI.
But it gets worse.
When the FBI Director Wray was questioned before Congress this week, he made it clear that the agency was not focusing on what gaps allowed this shooting to happen, but only on the shooter’s motives and if he had an accomplice, which the FBI says there was none.
At this point, it is unknown who is leading the investigation into what went wrong at the Secret Service and there is no plan to fix it.
Many outstanding questions remain. We need the following answers:
Why were President Trump’s requests for additional security detail repeatedly denied?
If there are approximately 8,000 Secret Service employees, why are there reports of only three providing protection at this rally?
Why were buildings with a clear line of sight within 150 yards not secured at the event? “There were a finite number of buildings that needed to be secure, why wasn’t that done?” Rep. Jordan asked.
Why was the president allowed to walk out on the stage with an active security risk?
When the shooter was identified as a risk, why was Trump not notified?
Why was the shooter allowed to get off eight rounds before being neutralized?
Rep. Jordan shared a damning timeline with 5minutes passing between when the shooter was identified and when Trump was shot.
We cannot allow this to happen again. Iran, along with unhinged radicals, is trying to take out President Trump. The Secret Service must have a zero-fail system. And right now, there is zero confidence.
Congress needs to go MUCH deeper than a hearing with staged questions and canned responses.
By a miracle of God Almighty, President Trump is alive today. At the same time, I am at a loss for words over the failures of the Secret Service.
We are working on Capitol Hill to bring urgency and awareness of how grave this situation was and how important it is to make sure that protections are instated so nothing like this happens again.
