“The strength of our organization,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle argued in a 2023 report, lay in, among other things, “seeking out the boundless benefits of diversity.”

The Secret Service offers “leadership training on how best to support LGBTQ+ employees” and “training on unconscious bias” which is the idea that all white people are innately racist, and tries to guide more “more inclusive decisions” while “increasing empathy” for minorities.

Special Agents in Charge were tasked with DEI, which distracts from their core duties, but diversity and its boundless benefits were not why the Secret Service existed. The left was.

“Anarchy is a crime against the whole human race; and all mankind should band against the anarchist,” President Theodore Roosevelt had warned in his annual message to Congress.

Several months earlier, a leftist anarchist had murdered President McKinley. Roosevelt, always a man of action, headed out by boat, train and wagon to the scene, took the oath of office in borrowed clothes and launched a war against the Left.

“When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insignificance,” he declared while urging Congress to ban leftist literature from the mail.

He wanted to give the federal government the authority to suppress the leftist radicals by signing treaties with other nations to outlaw anarchy “like piracy and that form of man-stealing known as the slave trade; for it is of far blacker infamy than either.”

While these efforts failed, Congress did approve the expansion of the Secret Service to protect the president. Theodore Roosevelt became the first president to be formally protected. (Roosevelt was shot later by an assassin at a campaign event in Milwaukee, but continued his speech. The bullet remained embedded in the muscle tissue of his chest for the rest of his life.)

The track record for preventing leftist presidential assassinations was mixed. After the radical terrorists Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in Massachusetts, a plot by anarchists to bomb President Herbert Hoover’s rail car in Argentina was averted locally. The Secret Service successfully stopped a Puerto Rican nationalist terror attack against President Harry Truman, but failed to prevent a Communist from murdering President John F. Kennedy.

It once again failed to stop President Donald J. Trump’s assassin until he took his shot. The nation’s first true federal law enforcement agency has been designated to protect presidents in response to a wave of radical leftist terror. Earlier proposals to retask the Secret Service, including after the assassination of President Lincoln, who had created it to stop counterfeiting, to protect presidents had been turned down until the anarchist reign of terror.

Unfortunately, the Secret Service, like much of federal law enforcement, drifted from its original mission. Rather than fighting leftist radicalism, the Secret Service embraced it.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, formerly of Biden’s protective detail, and boosted by Jill Biden to serve as director, made it her mission to remake the organization into a 30% female force and to pursue DEI. “I am very conscious as I sit in this chair now that we need to attract diverse candidates,” she told CBS News.

While the Secret Service may not work so well at stopping assassins, it has an ‘Equity’ team that works “diligently to address the needs of the agency’s diverse workforce” through “caring support, informative training sessions” and “cultural awareness events”.

Two of the three top executive roles in the Secret Service were held by women, including Cheatle and Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Sjoberg Radway who was brought in to find new recruits.

Beyond 30% female recruits, the Secret Service was committed to a 12% disabled workforce,  hiring without regard to” disability (physical or mental)” or “gender identity” which is very promising for mentally ill transgender recruits, but not those whom they are supposed to protect.

And it holds an annual “Unity Day” to “pay homage to the unique accomplishments that various ethnic groups, cultures and individuals with disabilities have made to our organization.”

“Embracing a diverse and inclusive workforce enables the Secret Service to be more responsive and better prepared to address the evolving security threats facing our nation’s leaders,” the Secret Service claims, without clarifying exactly how using diversity rather than ability saves lives. Was Trump better protected because the Secret Service has a more “diverse” workforce?

The Secret Service claims that it only hires 1 out of 250 Special Agent applicants and DEI ensures that many of those will be hired for affirmative action reasons rather than merit.

The Secret Service career page's images of its ideal recruits feature three women, two of them minorities, and one minority man; a promotional recruitment video centers on a black woman with no white men in sight. The same tends to be true across Secret Service literature, where I had to flip through endless pages of ideally diverse agents in search of a single white man. But pictures of white men usually only appeared in photographs of actual training exercises.

“I’m a black female and that’s not what people imagine when they think of a Secret Service Agent,” a pull quote from the protective assignments section gushes.

An organization once tasked with fighting leftist assassins is now instead focused on “positive organizational change where fairness, equality, diversity and inclusion are put into practice by all Secret Service employees.” And perhaps not stopping Trump’s assassin was one example.

DEI is a fundamentally ideological program and beyond lowering the effectiveness of any organization, it also introduces radical political agendas into the body of the group. Did those biases play any role in the failures of the Secret Service during the assassination attempt?

It’s difficult to know, but the only way to be sure is by weeding politics out of the Secret Service.

President Theodore Roosevelt turned to the Secret Service to protect presidents from the Left. But if the Secret Service and other federal law enforcement agencies are infiltrated by the Left, who will protect Republican and conservative public officials from their radical ‘protectors’.

Millions Of America’s Gun Owners Are NOT Registered To Vote.

The most important U.S. Presidential Election since the founding of our republic is just a few months away. This isn’t an exaggeration. It is a fact.

The outcome of this Election will determine whether we Americans secure our Nation as a Free Constitutional Republic as the Framers crafted it or we continue down the path Joe Biden and his owners behind the scenes have set for us:

AKA: the Deep State. A Rancid Socialist Dictatorship ruled by Marxist Cultists and Neoliberal Globalist Technocrats.

Yet millions of America’s gun owners are not registered to vote in the upcoming election to prevent this horror from manifesting.

This is surprising, shocking, and altogether unacceptable. Voting is a Sacred Right and a tremendously important responsibility. The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that ten million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This is not a small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.

In a recent article published on July 9, 2024, the New York Post had this to say:

“More than 10 million hunters and gun owners are not registered to vote in America, according to a new grassroots voter-registration group firing warning shots at the GOP Vote4America data show that if Republicans don’t address political apathy among their gun-owning base in key swing states, they’ll have far fewer voters in their arsenal to score victories this November. . . .

A breakdown of the data reveals a major shortfall in voter registration among gun owners in the states that will decide the 2024 election: 515,277 in Pennsylvania and around 370,000 each in Michigan and North Carolina. Georgia, Wisconsin, Missouri and Virginia all have more than half a million hunters and gun owners unregistered, and Arizona has the smallest shortfall at 133,000.

Audiences have not always responded positively to Vote4America’s voter-registration efforts. Adviser to the group Baker Leavitt told District of Conservation podcast host Gabriella Hoffman in a recent appearance that the most common response in its outreach to gun owners is the sentiment ‘My vote doesn’t count, the system is rigged.’

Despite the pessimism, even marginal wins could pay big dividends come November.

‘If we could convert 2% of all licensed hunters and get them to vote, GOP would win in a landslide,’ Leavitt told Hoffman.

Hoffman noted that ‘a lot of hunters and gun owners, they’re very animated on social media, they have a lot of opinions, but they don’t go out to vote." They talk a great deal, often about preserving your rights, doing this — hunting — but a lot of people don’t follow through with voting.’

Democratic politicians have leaned on influencers in recent years — and before that Hollywood celebrities — to push liberal messaging to their built-in audiences of loyal followers.

Vote4America is hoping to tap into that strategy on the conservative side by partnering with more niche influencers in the hunting, pro-Second Amendment, first-responders and veteran communities.

Stephen Aaron, another of the group’s advisers, he says when it comes to winning over disengaged gun owners, the mission is clear and simple.

‘Our goal is to make sure these people know that voting matters. The issues people worry about — attacks on personal freedoms, our crime problem, skyrocketing inflation — are all impacted by the people we put in office. This is an effort to help voters connect the issues impacting their daily lives to decisions made by elected officials so people understand their vote really does matter and they engage. It’s time to make America feel like home again. . . .’”

Well, we know that Joe Biden, for his part, isn’t averse to talking about his intention to ban millions of firearms from common use.

In an article published in the “Independent,”

“President Joe Biden called for AR-15 guns, the type used in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, to be banned during a fired-up NAACP National Convention speech.

It's time to outlaw them. I did it once, and I will do it again’, Biden said during his speech on Tuesday (16 July).”

There is something decidedly perverse about how Joe Biden alluded to caring about Donald Trump’s health and well-being. Plainly, Biden used the assassination attempt as a fortuitous happenstance upon which to make another pitch for banning civilian possession of millions of firearms in common use—a principal policy objective of the Biden Administration and of Progressives and others that despise our Bill of Rights.

Biden’s speech was likely meant to serve a different purpose.

By directing attention to guns, Biden likely hoped to mask the utter failure of the Secret Service, under the leadership of the inept director, Kimberly Cheatle, a Biden appointee, to protect Donald Trump.

Trump survived the assassination attempt only due to Divine Intervention and not to any act of the Secret Service, before the fact, to neutralize the target.

After all, the shooter got off several shots, killing one Rally Attendee, seriously injuring two others, and hitting Trump too (within a few millimeters of killing him), before the Secret Service Counter Assault Team (CAT) got off a shot, killing the shooter.

Attention properly belongs to the Secret Service, not on this or that firearm the shooter used.

Trump cannot make America great again if he isn’t in Office.

Americans who cherish their fundamental rights, especially the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms to prevent Tyranny, MUST VOTE.

Trump says,

“We’re gonna turn our country around." We’re going to quite simply make America great again. But one thing I’ll say, and I say it as friends, we’ve gotta get gun owners to vote, because you know what, I don’t know what it is, perhaps it’s a form of rebellion, because you’re rebellious people, aren’t you? But — gun owners don’t vote.

What is that all about? I’ve heard that, I heard it a few weeks ago. That if gun owners voted, we would swamp them to levels that nobody’s ever seen before. I think you’re a rebellious bunch. But let’s be rebellious and vote this time, okay? If you go out and vote, I understand exactly why you don’t. But we have to win this election, it’s the most important election in the history of our country.”

(Taken from Trump’s Speech to NRA, delivered on May 18, 2024, as obtained from the website “Roll Call.” See Trump’s Full Speech to NRA.)

Trump’s mild admonishment to gun owners is well-taken.

Sure, a lot of us Americans who cherish our most sacred right to armed self-defense do vote and have voted for Trump in the last two elections and will do so again in the upcoming election.

Freedom-loving people, fiercely independent and obdurately resistant to Tyranny, insistent on bearing arms to maintain their sovereignty over Government and over attempts to subjugate them, will not meekly surrender their arms.

The 2021 National Firearms Survey estimated that 81.4 million Americans owned firearms. Two years later, that number increased. “Estimates show that 82,880,000 people own at least one firearm in 2023.” See the article in “Ammo.com.”

Americans who cherish their fundamental rights, especially the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms to prevent Tyranny, must vote, but why do so many Americans resist?

What accounts for the apathy among so many Americans who love their country and who cherish their sacred rights but who do not vote?

If one is reluctant to let his views be heard around the family kitchen table or among his co-workers at the office, they don’t need to speak their mind. What does that have to do with refraining from voting? When a person casts his ballot, that is a private affair. Nothing needs to be said to anyone. And voting is such an easy thing to do. There is no suffering in the act of casting one’s vote.

No other American has suffered the kind of incessant vicious, vile assaults like Donald Trump. He has accepted this because he truly loves his country. That cannot be reasonably denied.

For the four years he served his country as President, despite the barbs, the sabotage, the scathing attacks—and for the four years since—none of that has stopped. His enemies are many, powerful, and ruthless, and they constantly craft new ways to refine old ways to torment Trump.

The only thing that would stop Trump—that those who hate and fear his formidable fortitude, stamina, desire, and ability to truly Make America Great Again, have come to understand—would be a bullet to the head. That almost happened.

If the assassin had succeeded, our Country, a Free Constitutional Republic, would have died at that moment, along with him.

Fortunately for us, and by the grace of GOD, Trump survived. He will not stand down despite the toll on him and his family: financially, personally, professionally, and emotionally.

Register to Vote Today

Every American must vote. Trump has given and continues to give so much, including risking his very life for his country and his fellow countrymen. He asks so little from each of us in return.

And it is for our benefit and our country, after all, that America’s gun owners register to vote if they haven’t already done so and that all of us cast our vote for Trump so that he can serve our country and us.

Every American should vote with the idea that his vote determines the outcome of the Election. That vote for Trump—1 + 1 + 1 +1 +1. . . = 100 million—will become a wave that no amount of illegal and unethical machinating by the ruthless forces that would dare to crush Trump, our country, and our people, can withstand.

It is your vote that will make a difference! And it is such an easy thing to do. You have no excuse for not doing so.

Register as a Republican if you have not already done so. Make sure that you cast your vote in the upcoming election and that you cast it for Donald Trump.

Our Republic is on the Line. This is our Last Chance, our Final Battle. Do your small but vital part to Make America Great Again, and to Keep America Great for decades and centuries to come.
