At what point does incompetence or negligence cross the line to willful dereliction of duty and betrayal of a protectee’s safety?
With one innocent citizen dead, and three people injured as a result of this failure, it will take more than the resignation of a political figurehead to restore the damage done to institutional trust.
Less than one day before the series of fatal errors, a solution was offered that would have solved this problem in time to keep four victims from being shot.
But — for reasons that are not yet clear — a decision was made NOT to use the technology that would have saved a life.
Sen Josh Hawley shared the following post on X:
🚨🚨 NEW – Whistleblower tells me local law enforcement partners & suppliers offered drones to Secret Service BEFORE the rally – but Secret Service declined pic.twitter.com/UM0jfrMc9z

In that tweet, Josh Hawley wrote a letter to Mayorkas further inquiring about details of his colossal failures of leadership in this matter. He has specific questions about a whistleblower report that the Secret Service was offered the use of drones to protect the site one night before the event, but they declined that offer.
Someone will need to answer for that decision.
It cost a man his life.
Dear young Christian male, this book you’re about to read is meant to challenge you to your very core. Its intent is not to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Some of the chapters will upset you greatly, especially if you’re a dandy who was raised with kid gloves by a helicopter mommy.
That said, in addition to the holy introspection contained herein, this book will also shoot adrenaline into your soul. It’ll push you to be a Godly risk taker and earth shaker. A veritable Rebel With A Cause just like the Captain of Our Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want a feel-good book that tickles your ears and morphs you into a little Christian popinjay, this tome ain’t for you. You should put this book down and walk away from it immediately. However, if, young man, if … your motto is to give God your utmost for His highest, and you wanna live a life worthy of Christ’s death, then this book will be grist for your mill.
