Original Article

Three weeks ago, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe angrily pushed back on senators’ calls to immediately fire or discipline key agents directly responsible for the security failures that led to the assassination attempt against former President Trump at last month’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Since that time, Secret Service leaders have placed several members of the Pittsburgh Field Office on administrative leave, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

On the assassination attempt cover-up: where are the shooter's parents? What did they tell investigators about their son? There is nothing current out there that I can find and nobody seems interested in discovering why this is so. Logical inference: this information is being suppressed.

"...a complete “paradigm” overhaul at the agency .." A cliched phrase used by people failing in their positions without any clue as to how to fix it.

The fact that this creature, Rowe is collecting a taxpayer pay check shows the agency doesn't give a crap about the highest professional standards. FTA: Rowe argued that the near-assassination of Trump served as a wake-up call to the agency – “an opportunity to examine our own paradigm and examine our own methodologies, to challenge assumptions, to look at the new dynamic threat environment we’re operating in, look at the demand in which we’re placing on our people.” Talk about word salads. Anyone that speaks likes this, has no idea how to manage anything. He needs to be FIRED, not relieved, not put on unpaid leave, none of that crap, FIRED out right, computer disbanded, security clearances totally removed and then his lying to Congress needs to be investigated. And jail for lying under oath to a Congressional committee. I suspect about 40 to 50 percent of the staff in that agency needs to go. Especially, the fat, out of shape, nursing females incapable of holstering their weapons. And yes I am a 73 year old female in great shape that could whoop the butts of anyone of those women. Get them out now. They are all embarrassments and security risks.

I have to admit there is very little out there about Crooks' parents. It's almost as if they were a cover story. Could they be agents managing a brainwashed child? When you consider the FBI's and CIA's past and it quickly becomes believable. No testimonials about how wonderful their son was. Or, alternatively, how troubled he was. The ridiculous prevarcation about political parties... How quickly his body was released for cremation, without notifying the coroner.... Was this family a real family, or a deep operation?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Because the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California outlawing talk therapy for minors with unwanted same-sex attraction, it must likewise uphold Idaho's ban on invasive and potentially irreversible medical treatments to make gender-confused minors resemble the opposite sex, the Gem State's outside lawyer told a three-judge panel Thursday. Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel John Bursch invoked the 2013 Pickup precedent, celebrated at the time by LGBTQ activists for finding that California's SB 1172 does not violate the "fundamental parental right to make important medical decisions for their children"

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, offered a "gender-neutral prayer room" with Islamic prayer mats and also appears to have repurposed several women's rooms at the venue as "all-gender." According to a DNC map of the convention at Chicago's United Center, one "all-gender restroom" is on each of the four levels of the arena that serves as home to the Chicago Bulls. However, a different map of the venue suggests they are typically women's restrooms. Other bathroom facilities that circle the arena are grouped in the typical fashion of men's and women's restrooms.

Earlier today the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) revised the annual jobs report to remove 818,000 previously recorded jobs. […] “The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs. It marks the largest downward revision since 2009.” (read more)
