NYT: The Secret Service is Understaffed and Unable to Protect Its Clients Because a Lot of Secret Service Veterans Are Quitting

Charlie Kirk
@charliekirk11
The New York Times has a devastating article on the condition of the Secret Service under the Biden/Harris administration.
Agents are leaving in droves, especially the most talented and capable ones. Hiring standards have "slumped" -- though the Times won't say it, we know from other reports that DEI played a big role. The second-in-command of the men guarding the White House moonlighted as a real estate agent, and gave promotions to agents who became his clients.
"Nepotism, favoritism, corruption -- that is part of our culture here."
The Secret Service is supposed to be the best of the best. Under the left, they've become a joke -- just like the rest of the country.

We can imagine why older men are leaving -- forced out of the organization to make room for the Strong and Empowered round women who we saw spectacularly failing to protect Trump in the lethal Butler media-incited assassination attempt.

The New York Times doesn't mention this, of course. But yes, the Secret Service is pushing hard to get "30 by 30" -- 30% female "represenation" not in just the agency, but specifically in the gun-carrying, body-shielding protective division.

Despite not many women being in the "feeder" jobs that the Secret Service draws from -- the military, civilian law enforcement.

A lot of Office Effie's and Chairbound Charlottes are being given a gun and a pair of sunglasses and don't you worry about how that will work out, they'll make sure all of the experienced male Secret Service agents are assigned to protect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and of course Jill Biden.

The Times (link to archive.is):

This time, he was part of the detail providing protection for President Biden at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Pangs of fatigue snaked up his legs from hours of standing on a concrete floor of the Moscone Center in San Francisco, about 3,000 miles from his home.
"I got to the point where I just said, 'You know, I don't think I want to do it anymore.'" Mr. Ebey put in his papers to retire in January. He was 52 years old.
For months, alarm had been spreading through the executive offices on the eighth floor of the Secret Service headquarters in Washington over the flight of experienced talent like Mr. Ebey.

The agency knew it would face an avalanche in 2024. There would be presidential campaigns. Political conventions. A NATO summit. It was looking to be one of the busiest years in the Secret Service's recent history, even as threats of violence against political leaders were rising.
The service was not ready.
"Now more than ever, it is critical that we retain employees," Kimberly A. Cheatle, the Secret Service director at the time, wrote in an agencywide email in July 2023.
But instead of growing, as the big year approached, the service shrank. At least 1,400 of its 7,800 employees left in the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years, the largest outflow from the agency in at least two decades, federal data show.
This summer, two assassination attempts against former President Donald J. Trump revealed deep problems in the Secret Service. Failures in technology meant a would-be assassin was able to use a drone for surveillance. Failures in command meant a nearby rooftop was left unprotected for him to climb. Failures in communication meant he was able to fire, even after being spotted.

But agents say one problem underlies all the others: an exodus of the best-trained people.
Their departures, partly rooted in longstanding failures by the Secret Service management, have left agents in a kind of permanent state of emergency, lacking the focus, rest and training necessary to do their jobs well, more than two dozen current and former employees told The New York Times.
Among the reasons they leave:
Crushing amounts of overtime work, often assigned at the last minute and sometimes without pay.
An initiative to rehire retired Secret Service agents, which backfired by spurring more employees to retire so they could be paid a salary and a pension at once.
Perceptions of favoritism in promotions and hiring, including an episode in which the agency's chief uniformed officer moonlighted as a real-estate agent for subordinates, who then won promotions.
...

The loss of so many valuable agents might be less of a crisis if enough people -- and the right people -- were ready and waiting to take their place. But management had not solved that problem either.
Recruiting standards slumped, longtime agents said, as the agency ushered more people in the door.

Gee, why were unqualified people suddenly being "ushered in" to the Secret Service? Previously it had brought in mostly-qualified people. What changed?

Apparently they don't have many agents assigned to Trump at all -- they just put out a call days before an event looking for "bodies."

They're putting together Trump's "protection" haphazardly, slap-dashedly, begging people to come in and work some overtime, instead of giving him a permanent team that can learn to work well with each other.

They're trying to kill him, in other words.

...
But even then, he was required to help with protective duty during busy times. He missed weeks with his family, as short-handed bosses would come to agents saying, "We're looking for bodies" to protect one leader or another, including Mr. Trump.

They do get "paid" for the OT, it's just not in their actual paycheck. They get compensatory time in lieu of overtime. It sucks and you almost never get to take your CT off because your annual leave balance is piling up at the same time and you can only carry forward 240 hours of annual leave at the end of the year or you lose it. If you are putting in tons of OT you are going to lose all sorts of CT and annual leave. Been there and did that.

I think anyone with a neighbor with a Harris/Walz lawn sign should buy a can of blue spray paint and paint an 'X' on the street in front of their homes. So if/when Harris blunders into WWIII we know who to plunder first.

"Now more than ever, it is critical that we retain employees," Kimberly A. Cheatle, the Secret Service director at the time, wrote in an agency wide email in July 2023.

She was half serious because that's simply THE annual agency-wide email that all federal agencies write in case someone goes looking.

On those levels, private industry to government, to private industry, and back again...

>(Secret Service) employees can retire under the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) in a few ways:
Minimum Retirement Age (MRA): Retire after 30 years of creditable service
Age 60: Retire after 20 years of creditable service
Age 50: Retire under special retirement provisions after 20 years of creditable service

The reason Kamala Harris was mostly MIA on the one-year anniversary of the Oct 7 slaughter/kidnapping of Israelis is because SHE WAS DOING A VOGUE PHOTO SHOOT.

It turns out the day Kamala was bitching at DeSantis for not taking her phone call as a hurricane was barreling towards Florida, even though she is not in the chain of command on hurricane response, was the same day that she was doing a photoshoot with Vogue.

We’re still finding bodies from the devastating hurricane that destroyed parts of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.

I turned my heat pump on today in SE Pennsylvania as it was 39 degrees here this morning. It was also 39 degrees in Asheville, NC this morning.

No electricity, no water, no heat, and a lot of those people are at higher elevations where it is even colder. This is only going to get worse in the next two weeks when temps go below freezing overnight.

183 1/2 Some VERY surprising info has dropped on the "stars" of the Harris "I'm a Man" ad. Hold onto your hats, folks, here it comes:

- Wayland McQueen is a far-left, pro-Antifa comedian and actor who has, until now, found limited success. He does improv gigs at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. In a Twitter post from 2022, he explains what white privilege is and tells you why you need to acknowledge your white privilege. As of 2024 he is single.

- Lanre Idewu is an immigrant from Nigeria. He is also an actor who works at the D.C.-based OCTET Productions. He has many intimate pictures with the Obamas and the Bidens. Idewu, who is bisexual, has done gay-for-pay movies and nude solo shoots. In the "Men for Kamala" ad, he says he is “man enough to f-ing braid his daughter’s hair,” but the only problem is that he doesn’t have a daughter. Idewu isn’t braiding anyone’s hair.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero43) at October 11, 2024 07:06 PM (+myjY)

184 2/2

- Mike Leffingwell, a gay man, also works at the Upright Citizens Brigade, where McQueen works. He is an acting coach, cartoon writer for Netflix and DreamWorks, and an actor in TV commercials. On his public Instagram page, he showcases his participation in his latest project—the "Men for Kamala" ad.

- Winston Carter, the heavyset fellow in the ad who claims to be a mechanic and rancher, lives in Los Angeles signed with Taft Broadcasting Company. He has found limited success in the acting world, mainly as an extra in films and as a character in the low-budget superhero film Spaghettiman.

- Tony Ketcham, the tough, rugged, bearded grandpa in his garage in the "Men for Kamala" ad, is also an actor. He now mainly does low-budget independent films like Car Botz, where he played the role of PePaw. Tony is unmarried in real life. In 2001, he played the extra role of “alcoholic consumer” in the movie Ghost World.

In Wyoming, the speed limit is 75 or 80 on the freeways. I-25 north of Casper is some of the sweetest driving in all of America. Very light traffic. I was clipping along at 80-ish, then decided to drop to 55 to see what it was like.

Nixon was not a good domestic policy president. He did not literally give a shit about much beyond other than his great game diplomacy and the war. So on the home front, liberal Republicans and Dems created the EPA, affirmative action, etc.

He did a piss poor job on selection of federal judges as well which allowed the liberal GOP judges in lock step with Justices like Brennan to go beyond where the Warren Court feared to tread.

If you can still dig it up, Nixon's testimony with the grand jury wrapping up Watergate cases against remaining defendants and this occurred after his resignation/pardon. This testimony is interesting political history. He talks about everything in his administration and politics of the era.

The intersection at Route 202 - a major route to the Delaware State btw - was full of patriots waving Trump and Trump-Vance flags. It was refreshing to see - along with the horns honking in acknowledgement - psycho traffic or not.

I also noticed a lot of Trump flags in western Delaware County, one of the finer areas of the county.

Now the lower side of Delco is something else. But I have four lawn signs and several window and door stickers and no one has made a move - yet.

“Over 25 years in public service, I would never do something to denigrate someone's faith. I’ve used my platform to stand up for people’s right to hold and practice their personal religious beliefs. My team has spoken to the Michigan Catholic Conference. What was supposed to be a video about the importance of the CHIPS Act to Michigan jobs, has been construed as something it was never intended to be, and I apologize for that.”

259 A few states had no speed limit per se during daylight hours. "Reasonable and Prudent". Well 105 is probably very reasonable in eastern Montana or Wyoming etc. On clean dry two lane, unlimited visibility, no traffic. After a long haul at 100 miles per hour slowing down to 55 seems pretty glacial for sure.

Montana famously had a $5 "wasting energy" ticket, payable on the spot, if you did get pulled over during the 55 mph long national nightmare. On the other hand today people drive way too fast, and are not capable of it. Nothing reasonable nor prudent about it.

And that's why we can't have nice things, or something.
