When American lives are at stake—especially the life of a president—every second counts. But when a would-be assassin started shooting at Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, where was the lightning-fast response we’re supposed to expect from the highly trained, elite Secret Service? Instead, one key agent wasn’t watching the rooftop. He was doing what you or I might do when lost: Googling the address.
That’s right. While Donald Trump was in the crosshairs, the so-called protector with the power to stop an assassin was busy clicking and typing into a search engine. Imagine: a threat staring him right in the face, and this highly paid “counter-drone operator” was just now looking for the location. This is what passes for “preparedness” under the Biden regime. Is this the best America can do, or is this just the latest example of government incompetence—served up by agencies stacked with left-wing bureaucrats who care more about wokeness than results?
It’s hard to ignore what’s really happening. Layers of liberal leadership keep making security about “protocols” and “diversity trainings.” They talk a big game about being ready for anything. But when real danger strikes, their agents are staring at Google. Why? Because all the focus is on virtue-signaling quotas, foreign interests, and keeping leftist donors happy. The people in charge have forgotten that safety—real safety—requires vigilance, courage, and yes, some common sense.
Anyone who’s paid attention over the last few years knows what’s going on. Under globalist-minded bureaucrats, law enforcement is hobbled by red tape. Priorities get twisted until the Secret Service spends more time on HR paperwork and media image than on the dirty work of scanning rooftops for shooters. Meanwhile, the American people are left exposed. Donald Trump, the most-targeted man in America, can’t rely on the men and women whose entire job is to watch his back.
Let’s call it what it is: a culture of failure bred by liberal politics. Why should anyone trust a government that leaves one of its leaders vulnerable because someone couldn’t even find a rooftop in time? This isn’t just one lazy agent—this is the inevitable result of a federal workforce run by careerists who answer to left-wing talking points instead of the Constitution.
Is it any wonder average Americans are losing faith in their institutions? When a Secret Service agent needs Google more than a pair of eyes, who’s really in charge? If this is “security” under Biden and his allies, God help President Trump—and God help America.
