Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe erupted into a screaming match against Rep. Pat Fallon after the Texas Republican ripped the protective agency’s failures that enabled two assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump. Fallon lambasted Rowe for waiting days before visiting the Butler, Pa., site where Trump was nearly killed on July 13 — and then presented a photo showing the acting director near the now-president-elect instead of his detail during the Republican’s visit to New York to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. “Who is usually at an event

I heard Dan Bongjno say awhile back no wonder ratings stink for these House “oversight” hearings. It is always mere theater and no accountability actually ever happens.

September, 2024 "Rowe was appointed in April of last year as deputy director, a role that granted him direct oversight of "daily investigative and protective operations," according to his Secret Service biography." "He defended the director as calls for her departure piled on, saying in an interview published by The Wall Street Journal, "When you're in the midst of a crisis, it takes toughness. It takes intelligence. And it takes also a little bit of strategy." "He continued: "And she is demonstrating all of those traits at this time." Deep State Deep Swamp creatures

Rowe is a sleazy low-life married to the "Deep State". He' the one who assigned to incompetent entirely untrained "agents" to Butler PA! I would not doubt anyone who told me he was in the employ of Iran.

Rowe getting all pissy about "my service" when he was clearly showboating at the ceremony, using his job to get a 'good seat' at the even doesn't fill one with confidence about his competence. Secret Service needs better.

Get Rowe jerk out, yesterday. The day of the Butler shooting he was the one who denied additional security for President Trump. But the first dame who was doing a nothing blather event her security was double than that of the president elect, thanks to Rowe. Throw big mouth out. Is he also a close 'friend' of the first trash like the Cheatle cow?

Schoolboy Rowe is so dumb - - that he has no idea that in 46 days he will be fired and arrested. If he did- - - he would kowtow and beg forgiveness from the senators. But his arrogance is boundless - - and it will not serve him well in an orange jumpsuit.

Just reveals that Rowe is not the man for that job. He's a climber, first, not a protector. Anyone in the USSS has to be the latter. If you aren't focused on protection, you should quit and sell cars, or something. Pitiful...

It’s hard to imagine any administration feeling enthusiastic about handing over power to a new president, especially after a hard-fought and often bitter campaign. However, for a regime that has relentlessly sought not only to defeat but to destroy its opponent, a smooth transition becomes almost impossible. Despite the irony that President Joe Biden may have actually cast a vote for President-elect Donald Trump, it’s evident that he and his team are actively creating obstacles to hinder their successors. In ways large and small, from domestic policy to foreign affairs, the most un-American and power hungry administration in modern memory appears determined to obstruct Trump’s agenda. While it is uncommon

President-elect Donald Trump and his inner circle closed ranks around Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth on Friday, signaling they are behind him 100 percent despite a concerted smear campaign based on anonymous sources. Trump on Friday posted on Truth Social: “Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe. He was a great student – Princeton/Harvard educated – with a Military state of mind,” he said. “He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense Defense, one who leads with charisma

What has been going on in the Daniel Penny case, from the second NYPD detectives brought the young man in for questioning, has been the grossest and most disgusting miscarriage of justice imaginable. And after living through the past five years of Soros prosecutors, I can imagine some pretty horrible stuff. John had the breaking news earlier about the deadlocked jury... When jury deliberations began in the Daniel Penny case on Tuesday, I really expected we'd have a verdict in a matter of hours or certainly by Wednesday morning. Today, on the jury's 4th day of deliberations they have told the judge they are deadlocked on the manslaughter charge.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday would not rule out the idea of President Biden issuing preemptive pardons on behalf of his allies before he leaves the Oval Office next month. The press secretary’s comments come as media reports have indicated the White House is privately weighing whether to issue preemptive pardons to several Biden allies, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, and retired General Mark Milley, who served as the joint chiefs of staff under Trump’s first administration.

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. unless the app’s Chinese parent company sells the platform. A panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously declined to review the petition for relief from TikTok. “We conclude the portions of the Act the petitioners have standing to challenge, that is the provisions concerning TikTok and its related entities, survive constitutional scrutiny,” judge Douglas Ginsburg wrote in the majority opinion. “We therefore deny the petitions.”

The incoming Trump administration is preparing a list of countries to which it may deport migrants when their home countries refuse to accept them, according to three sources familiar with the plans. The countries on the list have included but may not be limited to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama and Grenada, the sources said. The plans could mean that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of migrants would be permanently displaced in countries where they do not know any of the people or the language and have no connection to the culture.

First to go was Matt Gaetz. Now Pete Hegseth is in trouble. And after the Democrats sink Hegseth with anonymous allegations of sex and booze, Tulsi Gabbard will be their next target. The Democrats are playing piñata with Trump’s cabinet picks. Having Gaetz’s head on the chopping block wasn’t entirely unexpected; he was always seen as an outlier. With so much bad blood in his wake, it would’ve required a minor MAGA miracle to get him confirmed. So, losing Gaetz was seen more as a reflection of Gaetz than Trump. But Hegseth is in a different category. He’s a fresh face, unmarred

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday. Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse. “The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said. Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”

Some Democrats are so mad about Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter that they are threatening to withhold funding for Biden’s presidential library.

There will be more fallout from this in the coming months, especially because Biden has angered so many people on his own side. If he ends up issuing more pardons, which is fully expected, anger will only grow.
