Is Secret Service Chief Committed to Reforming
DEI, ‘Woke’ Culture?

Original Article

Sean Curran knew he had his work cut out for him when he agreed to head the Secret Service and help the troubled agency recover its reputation. Two assassination attempts against Donald Trump – and the less-than-candid response by the agency brass – had sullied the reputation of the once-storied agency and led to a raft of questions on Capitol Hill about whether the Secret Service had lost sight of its very purpose. Curran, the low-key former head of Trump’s campaign Secret Service detail, found himself heading an agency that had been undermined by cronyism, nepotism, and uneven discipline. In addition, the Biden administration’s shift to DEI hiring and promotions

From the article (where you'll learn more about this cast of characters): Still, some current and former Secret Service are taking issue with decisions Curran can control – the retention and promotion of agents who were key parts of his predecessor’s team. Curran’s decisions to retain one senior woman and promote another, both of whom played key roles in Cheatle’s tainted leadership team, have spurred renewed scrutiny both on Capitol Hill and within the Secret Service community.

Leadership is not silence. An organization is nothing more than the personnel that make it up. Without correcting personnel hiring mistakes, an organization will continue to have issues.

Nothing is "real clear" about the headline or the article. Every government agency has these same types of problems and those of the SS began in the Obama years so Curran has about seventeen years of problems to fix. The first thing I would do to solve the problem of being short on personnel is to remove the details of persons who are useless buffoons and nobody would miss if they suffered a mishap. That list is very long so I will not name names but we know who they are. Jill Biden was personally responsible for the mistakes that Donald Trump suffered in Butler, Pa. As agents, those who are not physically fit are substandard and should resign on their own. If not, do what Pete Hegseth did to his military officers. Get fit or get out.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Thursday released documents revealing that Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Chris Wray and corrupt DOJ official Lisa Monaco personally approved opening the “Arctic Frost” investigation into President Trump. Arctic Frost led to Jack Smith’s Trump 2020 alternate electors case. Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson earlier this year released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump. Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan lashed out online after Americans pushed back against his defense of the Islamic call to prayer being played in U.S. neighborhoods. The Islamic call to prayer, or adhan, is broadcast five times daily and serves as a prominent auditory reminder of faith across Muslim communities. Hasan went on an extended rant on X, blasting what he called right-wing intolerance and claiming Muslim Americans face growing hostility from conservatives. “I think that if you can play church bells you can pray the [Islamic] call to prayer.

Many Americans already believe the H-1B visa program was built to replace them at work. Now we’re finding out it is helping foreign workers buy homes too, with our tax dollars. In Oregon, there’s a taxpayer-funded initiative called the Down Payment Assistance Program, which hands out as much as $60,000 or 20 percent of a home’s sale price to qualifying buyers. It was pitched as “equity in housing,” but the fine print reveals that even foreign nationals on temporary work visas can tap into it. Yes, you read that right. People just passing through on a work visa can get a US taxpayer handout to buy up one

Chinese LSAT preparation companies have violated the security of remotely administered exams for years, allowing Chinese nationals to access stolen questions and take the place of qualified Americans, the CEO of a U.S. test preparation company told the Washington Free Beacon. The CEO, Dave Killoran of PowerScore, revealed that a Chinese whistleblower, frustrated with how easy cheating on the LSAT appeared to be, contacted him in May of this year with what he claimed were stolen questions. "After a review of those questions, I quickly determined they were actual LSAT questions," Killoran said. PowerScore and the Law School Admission Council (LSAC)—the body responsible for creating and administering the LSAT—are the only

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said Wednesday she is “strongly considering” running for the U.S. Senate, and she claimed her decision could serve as “karma” against Republicans. Crockett made the comments during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show,” Axios reported. Her remarks came as she railed against GOP-led redistricting in Texas while ignoring the fact that Democrats have long gerrymandered districts in their own states. And then the other option is every other day there’s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas,” Crockett said. “And I am looking.

Amazon is planning to replace more than half a million jobs in the US with robots, according to a new report. Warehouse automation will enable the e-commerce giant to avoid hiring over 600,000 people in the coming years, executives told Amazon’s board in 2024, according to the New York Times. That’s even though the company reportedly expects to sell twice as many products by 2033. The shift from human to robot is expected to unfold over the coming years, according to Tuesday’s article. Amazon plans to avoid hiring over 160,000 US workers by 2027 – saving the company about 30 cents on each item it ships

An illegal alien child rapist received thousands in taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits, Health and Human Services (HHS) reveals, as Democrats and the establishment media claim that illegal aliens cannot receive such healthcare benefits. United States Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill on Wednesday posted the case of 38-year-old illegal alien Jose Trinidad Arreola-Ortega of Mexico, who was convicted of raping a young child in Kentucky. Despite the conviction, Arreola-Ortega was able to secure nearly $7,300 in taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits. “Democrats are demanding continued funding for Arreola-Ortega’s Medicaid as a condition for reopening the government and paying the hardworking public servants at my department,” O’Neill wrote

Jason Miyares, Virginia's current attorney general who's running for reelection against odious Democrat Jay Jones, has been asking an important question this week: what is Jay Jones hiding? The question has to do with how Jones carried out his 1,000 hours of community service for his 2022 reckless driving conviction. Before the Jay Jones texting scandal blew up a few weeks ago – as you'll recall, he wished death upon a Republican rival and dreamed of seeing the wife of his rival cradling their dead children – we were talking about Jones' reckless driving conviction from 2022. Jones was clocked going 116 MPH in a 70 MPH zone; he pleaded

Atlanta appears to have become the poster child for a nationwide surge in rental-application fraud, and landlords are paying the price. Rent for a two-bedroom apartment now hovers near $2,000 a month — well above what most residents can afford, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported. As the city’s housing market overheats, a growing number of renters are reportedly gaming the system with forged financial documents, fake identities, and counterfeit credit histories to snag luxury units they cannot pay for. Influencers on TikTok tell struggling renters that they might get approved for upscale apartments by faking pay stubs, employment letters, and even Social Security numbers,

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement regarding a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a horse race event in Idaho over the weekend, which resulted in more than 100 illegal aliens being arrested. DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin explained that the ICE raid had “dismantled an illegal horse-racing, animal fighting, and a gambling enterprise operation,” in Wilder, Idaho, according to the Idaho Capital Sun. McLaughlin added that 105 illegal aliens had been arrested. McLaughlin’s statement comes as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “previously announced five arrests of people linked to the alleged horserace gambling operation in Wilder

The RBF in April of this year awarded a $135,000 grant to 7amleh, the "Arab Center for Social Media Advancement," under the umbrella of "Peacebuilding." The organization describes itself as an advocate "for Palestinian digital rights," creating a "safe, fair and free digital space for Palestinians."

Transgender Americans are preparing to leave the United States of America, believing that President Donald Trump is the “most anti-LGBTQ+ president in history.” Vox reported that during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric against “radical gender ideology” and “transgender insanity” grew “more hostile.” The outlet noted, “A frequently-run Trump television ad claimed that ‘Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you.’ And as his second term has progressed, Trump’s attacks on transgender rights have become increasingly virulent.” Katie Sosin, who reports on LGBTQ+ issues for The 19th, spoke to Vox about the Trump administration’s policies:

Judicial tyranny continues. A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order. The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.

Insane: Democrats to Create 'Master ICE

Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.

Nothing screams “fall fashion” like a cozy midweight scarf complemented with a side of class struggle. That’s the message from embattled retailer Target, who’s been caught pushing communist literature in fall fashion ad campaigns geared toward urban women of a certain age, The Post has learned. This is happening at a time when the company can hardly afford any more culture war beefs. Karl Marx’s political treatise “Capital” — beloved by radical leftists the world over — has been given a “landmark new translation” and was spotted nestled in Target’s carousel ads on Instagram. It is somewhat subversively being displayed smack in the middle of unrelated products
