During all the insanity that happened on Saturday involving the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, there was a moment that stood out to many, and it involved the conduct of the female Secret Service agents. As one clip showed, the women protecting Trump looked jittery and slightly unsure of themselves. One of them tried to holster her side arm but kept missing the holster, eventually just placing it close to her until it was easier to do so. This resulted in many people questioning why there were female Secret Service agents in the first place.
To be clear, I also spoke out about this,

Simple answer. DEI.

I would be curious to know if any female agents are assigned to Biden's detail.
Besides all the points made in the article, no Secret Servoce agent should be sporting a bun or a pony tail, which can be grabbed and pulled. It looks unprofessional and unserious..

Keep in mind SS head Cheadle was on Cheneys team, then Bidens(when he was admonished for insisting upon swimming naked in front of the female agents,though she and Jill were pals) she THEN was put in charge of ALL of the secret service training, schools, admissions, Top to bottom. Had been with the agency 27 years, left for Pepsico in the private sector, within a year Biden called her back in to Head the entire agency....because...Retention had plummeted fully 48% of agents were declining to re-up, and were leaving or had left. They did not like the direction the agency was headed, or the new DEI focus. She came aboard and announced she was gonna make the service 30% female by 2030, meaning that 60-75% of ALL hires would be female to make that number/date. Female agents were being elevated beginning during Clinton/Gore, mainly because of "Daughters" of the protected people, continued during Bush/Cheney, even moreso under Obama/Biden(both of whom had a high turnover of agents they would tolerate, or that would tolerate them)
I met and worked with some very fine female SS agents from '94-2004, all fine people, few if any were "Body" guards, they did perimeter, crowd control, over watch, pathway clearing...backup. Planning and execution stuff. They were not there as Bullet stoppers right next to the Principles...but they also drove and guarded the wives and daughters...often in the schools with them, taking them shopping, out with friends,even on "Dates". There are photos of an Obama daughter smoking weed at a concert...with an agent right beside her.
As an aside...the SS Sniper schools and Teams were implemented in 1971, Sunday was the FIRST time that any of them had ever fired a shot on Duty.

I'm waiting for someone to put that video of the deer-in-the-headlights pair, the one who tried five times to register her pistol and set it to Yakkity Sax...the Benny Hill music.

"Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned."
"Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her,” a Democratic insider told The Post. “Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.”
"Bernal, 51, is widely regarded as rivaling even White House chief of staff Jeff Zients in terms of influence over administration decisions."
“Anthony is obsessed with being DEI-compliant,” a third source told The Post, using the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion — the human resources practice of attempting to ensure diversity in the workforce."

Those three incompetents give new meaning to the horrific attitude of "the force is female."
As a woman, I am so sick of my fellow women using their body as a way to avoid accountability.
THAT ESPECIALLY INCLUDES YOU, MRS hildabeast clinton!

The bun head fiddled with her sunglasses, dropped them, then stooped down to pick them up. In the meantime the entire front of Trump's body was devoid of coverage. This is an outrage. I hope President Trump can hire his own security, maybe Mossad - is that possible?

Several of the ladies were taking their glasses on and off in the midst of the scrum...with their gun hand.

You have to ask yourself. Would you want a 5 ft 7 inch 125 lb woman protecting you? His head was exposed for a long time. It looked like the keystone cops.

Unless she is Ziva David I'd prefer a big, tall, strong, muscular man. There should be women in the SS. But not as a bodyguard.

The use of women agents who are at least 1/2 half the size of the principal being guarded, is odd looking, as well as poor excuse for DEI. Inclusive just for the sake of being inclusive? It makes a complete and obvious lie of whatever it is one thinks DEI means.

How many women do you think are assigned to Putin's security detail?

Lookit. You can have all the "open minded" cow towing you want. The fact is you don't see females providing security muscle in the private sector. You never saw a female bouncer and you never saw Lady Gagas entourage fortified by well jacked females pushing through a crowd in LA.
And you sure as h never saw a private security firm send over a female to a billionaire who felt he was in danger.
Ridiculous.
Stop saying it's bc they're women and start saying it's bc they don't meet the physical requirements. Alot of us don't.

While watching the footage of the shooting, I had the thought that it was fortunate that there was not a second shooter since I could see Trump's head. If I could see Trump, so could the second sniper. Kimberly is going to get grilled by Congress. The Dems will argue that any criticism of her is sexists, and the Republicans will want to know why she screwed up so badly. Whatever happens, she will be gone in six months with a tarnished record.

The left is pushing the woman just like a man crap from the movies on us where we're supposed to believe a 100-pound woman can beat up special forces no name dudes by merely punching them. In real life, the no name dude wouldn't miss a beat if her punch managed to land; she'd be knocked out cold and would bleed profusely. It would take days/weeks for her to heal, and she might need surgery to fix her face. That's reality, but they expect us to believe this crap and bring it from the fantasy screen to real life. If girls were that tough they wouldn't be getting the snot beat out of them by men (sometimes puny) in sports pretending to be and competing as women. Pity the female who believes this crap and tries it.
Did the one female SS agent really think her hand would stop a bullet? That ponytail, maybe, especially the way it was swinging--woulda popped those bullets right out of there.

Re #20. I remember reading of some female MMA fighter ( I think) who somehow agreed to a match fight with a guy. She got hit once and I think that was it.
Her comment afterwards, and remember she's been in many MMA fights against other women, been hit many times, was "I had no idea ANYONE could hit that hard."
Yep. It's actually different. And the "Walker Texas Ranger" episodes where the lady ranger, played by Nia Peeples, all 5 foot 2 inches and 125 lbs of her whacked some 240 lb bruising brawler and he went down....I had to laugh, and my wife did, too. It doesn't work that way in real life. Even a roundhouse kick ( which looks awesome on TV but is nearly impossible to land in real life) wouldn't put one of these guys down coming from a little lady like that.
My wife has said for years, "Most women are way too small to be a cop. They will have to resort to shooting someone way before a big male cop would have to. He can subdue many suspects with his strength, where most women cannot."
Yep, that.

That one slightly chubby female Secret Service, who repeatedly fumbled with her hand gun as her colleagues rushed President Trump into that suv, looked like the androgynous “Pat” from “Saturday Night Live.”
If “The Andy Griffith Show” returned to tv today, that chunky female Secret Service agent could be cast as the feckless and maladroit Deputy Betty Fife, daughter of the late, lamented Deputy Barney Fife.

As a woman, I absolutely agree with this article. President Trump needed body mass protection on Saturday. The one female SS agent I saw (bun in hair) came up to his armpit. Not exactly someone who could block him from a sniper, lift him or help evac him quickly. He needs SS agents his own height or taller.
