Trump becoming the 47th President was a great threat to a wide array of Deep State and other interests.
Linked is a report listing many of the egregious failures of the Secret Service at Butler, PA, revealing how, in this case, as in many others, Secret service leadership denied those tasked with protecting Trump a whole host of protective items–more, and more experienced personnel, drones, communication systems compatible with local law enforcement, etc.–which would have increased Trump’s level of security.
One conclusion which can be drawn–given so many Secret Service leadership refusals to grant repeated requests for obvious items which would have increased Trump’s security–is that the leadership of the Biden Administration’s Secret Service was deliberately shorting Trump’s security, in order to make a possible and successful assassination much more likely to take place.*
Frankly, given the Secret Service’s performance at Butler, PA, I am amazed that the leadership of the Secret Service has not been gutted, or that it hasn’t been disbanded entirely, and replaced by a new protective organization, built from the ground up.
“Not only did CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director [James] Comey, DNI [James] Clapper and others include the Steele Dossier in the 2017 ICA, they overruled senior Intel officials who warned them it was fabricated and should not be used,” Gabbard said, calling the move “the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history.”
“In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him,” she added. […]
According to the House report, only a “scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports constitutes the only classified information cited to suggest Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win.”
“CIA officers said that some of this information had been held on the orders of [Brennan], while other reporting had been judged by experienced CIA officers to have not met longstanding publication standards,” the report noted.
Other information was “unclear, of uncertain origin, potentially biased, implausible, or in the words of senior operations officers ‘odd,’” the report also stated, and was “published after the election — over the objections of veteran officers — on orders of DCIA [Brennan] and cited in the [January 2017] ICA to support claims that Putin aspired to help Trump win.”
P.S. How come, after all these months, we have been told virtually nothing about the assassin, Mathew Crooks?
For instance, it was reported that he had virtually no Internet presence but, yet, he had several cell phones, with foreign contacts on them.
What about this?
Interviews with his family and friends?
What about the FBI cleaning off the roof shortly after the assassination attempt?
How about the FBI’s quick release of Crook’s body to his family, and Crook’s quick cremation?
How about the fact of Crook’s appearance in a “Blackrock” commercial, just a coinkydink?
With the assets available to investigative organizations these days, it should be fairly easy to dissect and lay out all of the details of someone’s life in a couple of days.
How come we haven’t seen any of this information?
Etc, etc.
Sure is a lot of lack of curiosity goin’ around.

Fashion note: How often, at the seemingly endless entertainment award affairs, do we see something as elegant as Ginger Rogers’ gown?
I’ve seen some of the whole movies excerpted in the neo’s dance video, but not others. I’ve never seen Carefree. I’m amused that the only way a hypnosis dance scene like that one could be filmed today, is if Fred Astair is the villain.
A blurb for the film Carefree: A psychiatrist falls in love with the woman he’s supposed to be nudging into marriage with someone else.
Here is one amateur movie critic’s take on the film.
If you attempt to look at the plot carefully (never a good idea in a musical) this is a rather repellent movie. The practice of Psychotherapy wasn’t as well known or as well respected as it is today, and the film was clearly written by someone who seemed to think of it as some fad medical cure indulged in mainly by rich and foolish women. As such we get to see Fred Astaire, the therapist, subjecting Ginger Rogers, the patient, to all manner of barbaric (to modern eyes) treatments in order to find out why she won’t marry his best friend. Eventually Astaire uses hypnosis to force her to marry him, and then force him not to. Clearly, movie doctors were not subjected to as severe a code of ethics as are real ones.
Speaking about the Secret Service, and other parts of the government which–based on their performance and participation in the unfair and illegal persecution of President Trump, and others–should be abolished, or reformed from top to bottom, the FISA court springs immediately to mind.
However, I can see how President Trump may well have a whole list of organizations within the government which need to be drastically reformed, or even abolished, and–given the amount of his available political capital–Trump having to prioritize those whose reform or abolishment are most critical, and most doable.
“DCIA countermanded their decision, however, and ordered that the fragment be included so that it could be cited in the ICA.”
I haven’t dug into Snow on Pine’s links, but that is quite shocking stuff about the Secret Service.
But the big story of the day seems to be what Russia could or did do to our election systems, and what the top people in the White House and the Intel directors said in reference to that. Why is that the big story? That our top people lied and manipulated is NOT a story. (Dog bites man,… yawn.) That’s almost always the case. The real story is that their minions turned a massive surveillance system against a presidential election campaign on fraudulent premises.
Skipping over a number of steps in logic, I tend to think that most of the powerful people on the left and right deeply wish to keep all of our post Patriot Act domestic surveillance infrastructure intact. I’m repeating myself, again… But why can’t people understand that this infrastructure is just too damn powerful and an invitation to abuse. I think Russiagate has effectively proven this.
The logic of these current stories would seem to be, that all we citizens need are people at the top in the White House and Intelligence (and Justice and FBI) who are as pure as driven snow. When has that ever been the case?
one expected sean curran to do more of a scrub of the Service, perhaps this will continue, as Greg Kelley has noted there is certainly coincidence and probably enemy action in the selection of Kimberly Cheadle, who headed Cheneys secret service detail, and their motives, the way the operational plan was virtually designed to enable this type of an incident, complete with the interference from the other event’s cross talk, 40 miles away in Harrisburg, specially considering the looming Iranian threat, of course Crook’s very murky path, just raises more questions, add to that, it was the first time, they had employed a counter sniper element, on site, certainly during this campaign,
except for Susan Crabtree and Salena Zito, this seems to be a very ‘local crime story’ the pillow the press uses when they want to cover a ‘story with a pillow, until it stops moving’
they did a similar thing with a profile of Boulter, the Minnesota shooter, where they elided over his long standing Democratic ties, the confession he actually made raises too many questions,
Kate:
Well, it helps to have Ginger Rogers’ figure in those gowns. 🙂
Neo: Of course it does. But many modern celebrities have the figure but not the elegance.
It’s not a big story, but a multi-day effort to back up an extreme allegation — and you don’t need to hear from the DNI at all! Take it from Jim!
Snow on Pine, heard mention of Seth Rich lately?
Kate:
Yes, it takes a certain attitude and it also helps to be a dancer. Rogers always managed to look relaxed when she danced, too. Dancers who were better technically also danced with Astaire, but no one was a better partner than Rogers.
Now Ace is peddling the narrative that CNN’s Chris Pernell is “not a real doctor”. At least Ace has enough integrity to mention that she has an MD and completed residency, down around paragraph nine or so.
There is no reason why a commentator on CNN would need to actually be in practice in order to count as a “real doctor”.
I have worked with a lot of MDs who were no longer seeing patients. They don’t stop being doctors. There are some positions which don’t involve seeing patients, yet it would be illegal to have anyone but an MD doing the work of the position–they specifically and legally require the medical expertise of an MD.
Anyway, just another reminder–doesn’t matter if your mom posted the take, you need to click through to see what’s being left out and if the narrative matches the facts.
cb–Actually, when I commented on the particular things I did above, I was thinking that there were so many unprecedented/questionable/illegal things done by the members of the Obama and Biden Administrations, that it was actually hard to choose just a couple, among a veritable universe of such unprecedented/questionable/illegal actions.
So, yeah, Seth Rich among them.
But, how about, for instance, the unprecedented Biden Administration FBI’s massively manned and armed raid on Mar-A-Lago. This made even worse by the later report that “lethal force” had been authorized for this heavily armed raid.
I presume that–had Trump been at home–there could conceivably have been an “oopsie” moment, a mistake or “negligent discharge,” and somebody could have been shot, or even killed.
We’ve often been compared to Ancient Rome, with it’s high stakes, dangerous, and vicious political infighting, and–in terms of the government and it’s actions–this comparison seems to be becoming more and more apt.
Was she a practicing doctor in good standing or was she just another apparatchik
Yes kimberly cheatle colluding with the national archives as well as the bureau strike team
A similar thing happened on april 22 2000, in a certain neighborhood of miami because of reports they would face armed resistance the parallel with what was happening around that time in los angeles in hollywood and in palm beach cannot be ignored (the arrival of the hijackers)
@miguel:Was she a practicing doctor in good standing or was she just another apparatchik
For the purposes of news commentary on medical issues, I have never heard that an MD is required to be currently practicing in order to count as a “real doctor” and not a “fake doctor”. Lots of doctors end up as “apparatchiks” of one kind or another, and this does not invalidate their status as doctors, except under a standard mysteriously invented just now. It’s what Scott Alexander calls an “isolated demand for rigor” or what the King of Hearts called Rule 42:
At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out “Silence!” and read out from his book, “Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court.”
Everybody looked at Alice.
“I’m not a mile high,” said Alice.
“You are,” said the King.
“Nearly two miles high,” added the Queen.
“Well, I shan’t go, at any rate,” said Alice: “besides, that’s not a regular rule: you invented it just now.”
“It’s the oldest rule in the book,” said the King.
“Then it ought to be Number One,” said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily.
It’s okay to say that PJ Media’s headline lied when it said “fake doctor” and Ace’s headline lied when it said “not a real doctor”. We don’t have to stop reading them. We just have to check on what they say and not assume that people who are “on our team” are not saying something bogus. Occasionally it will happen.
And that doesn’t mean we have to listen to what Chris Pernell says. After all only physicians directly treating Trump can speak definitively to his health and they ought not to, and sometimes even those physicians lie, as we saw with Biden…
But we do, I think, have an obligation not to spread lies about her. She’s not the right kind of doctor: sure, no problem. She has no business speaking medically about someone she hasn’t examined: sure. She’s talking only in generalities about what can happen with that condition and doesn’t really have grounds to say it’s a concern specifically for Trump: totally appropriate. Calling her a “fake doctor” or “not a real doctor” is right out.

No, it is not. It’s a perfectly reasonable description.
@Art Deco:No, it is not. It’s a perfectly reasonable description.
Only if “fake doctors” have MDs, completed residency, and are board certified. That’s not the narrative intended by the use of “fake doctor”. The Free Beacon said “not a practicing physician” which appears to be truthful, if hostile.
Ace is putting “doctor” in sneer quotes, comments at Ace include “Stayed at a Holiday Inn” and “I’m not a doctor but I play one on TV”.
Now the guys at PJ Media are getting paid for the lie–not sure about Ace–but blog commenters are either deceived by the lie, or spreading the lie despite not being paid. I’d rather not be doing either.
Obey the Nick.

The black dress she wears in the opening sequence is a classic example of how Hollywood knew how to titillate even when they weren’t allowed to show much skin. That dress shows basically every curve, but covers almost her entire body, and she knows how to work it, too.
