It highlights that while\u2062 the agency \u200cstruggles to maintain \u2062security for Trump, its staff\u200c is planning to attend a taxpayer-funded LGBTQ+ Workplace Summit at\u200d Disney World. \u2064This decision\u2062 has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/green-premium-wall-streets-leftist-esg-standards-are-making-inflation-worse\/\" title=\"\u2018Green Premium\u2019: Wall Street\u2019s Leftist ESG Standards Are Making Inflation Worse\">drawn sharp criticism<\/a>, especially\u2063 given the agency&#8217;s recent failures, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-blames-bidens-weakness-and-surrender-for-deadly-militia-attack\/\" title=\"Trump accuses Biden of being weak and surrendering, leading to a deadly militia attack\">significant security breach<\/a> during a Trump\u2062 rally. <\/p>\n<p>Several Secret Service agents are reportedly dissatisfied with the agency&#8217;s \u200dpriorities,\u200c feeling that the decision to send personnel to the summit \u200cduring a busy political season is misguided and &#8220;tone-deaf.&#8221; The article points out the ongoing investigation \u2064into \u200cthe Secret Service&#8217;s practices\u200b regarding the\u2062 protection of Trump, emphasizing a perceived shift towards identity politics over essential security duties. Critics argue that this focus undermines the\u200d effectiveness of the agency, particularly as Trump remains a primary\u200b target for \u200bextremist threats.

The nonprofit works &ldquo;exclusively on LGBTQ+ workplace equity, inclusion and belonging,&rdquo; which anyone in dignitary protection knows are subjects vital to protecting former presidents and presidential candidates mostly loathed by LGBTQ activists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are in a moment when the voices and actions of a few are attempting to dim the light and progress of an entire movement,&rdquo; the group asserts. &ldquo;And while it may seem overwhelming, we must remember our potential, our strength, and our value. In times of adversity, doubt, and challenge, Queer joy and resilience will always outshine and persevere.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Trump&rsquo;s campaign was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/09\/28\/trump-secret-service-rally-moves-wisconsin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forced to move<\/a> a planned outdoor rally in Prairie du Chien, Wis., to a smaller indoor venue because the Secret Service was short-handed. The protection details had their hands full providing security for foreign dignitaries at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. So the guy that USSS agents failed to protect at the July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Penn., the guy who miraculously survived being shot, was out of luck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,&rdquo; an unidentified Secret Service official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-wisconsin-rally-secret-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> CBS News last week &ldquo;This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And foreign leaders take precedent over protecting the life of a former U.S. president, who also happens to be the Biden-Harris administration&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-has-a-plan-to-fight-donald-trumps-indictment-defund-special-counsel\/\" title=\"MTG&#039;s plan to combat Trump&#039;s indictment: defund Special Counsel.\">top political enemy<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the Secret Service&rsquo;s new-found &ldquo;Queer Joy and resilience&rdquo; attained at next week&rsquo;s LGBTQ indoctrination camp will help the disgraced agency check off more identity politics, but it will do nothing to stop the next leftist lunatic from his mission to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/23\/finish-the-job-doj-publishes-bounty-offer-from-latest-would-be-trump-assassin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;finish the job.&rdquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>&lsquo;Tone Deaf&rsquo;<\/h2>\n<p>Last week, the House&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-shooting-task-force-stresses-bipartisanship-after-butler-visit-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump shooting task force stresses bipartisanship after Butler visit - Washington Examiner\">bipartisan task force investigating<\/a> the attempts on Trump&rsquo;s life underlined a litany of Secret Service failures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the days leading up to the rally, it was not a single mistake that allowed [the shooter at the July 13 rally] to outmaneuver one of our country&rsquo;s most elite group of security professionals. There were security failures on multiple fronts,&rdquo; said Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., co-chair of the committee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Chuck Grassley, a senior member and former chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/news\/news-releases\/grassley-launches-secret-service-investigation-following-assassination-attempt-against-former-president-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">investigating<\/a> the Secret Service&rsquo;s policies and procedures following the assassination attempts in Butler, Penn., and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/16\/protect-trump-now-no-more-lame-excuses-and-stupid-protocol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more recently<\/a> at Trump&rsquo;s golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla. The Iowa Republican told me in an interview last week on NewsRadio 1040 WHO in Des Moines that he, like other congressional colleagues, has been stonewalled by the agency, as well as the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. Grassley has been able to make some critical evidence public, including bodycam footage from the July 13 attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The senator believes the Secret Service&rsquo;s negligence wasn&rsquo;t willful, but rather the markings of another arrogantly stubborn federal agency.&nbsp; Grassley said the USSS may be finally starting to get it that they don&rsquo;t have all the answers and that they&rsquo;re going to have to break out of the status quo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the Secret Service, like agencies throughout the Biden-Harris administration, have put identity politics and social engineering above security and protection, particularly, it appears, in protecting Donald Trump &mdash; the left&rsquo;s Public Enemy No. 1. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Crabtree <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/susancrabtree\/status\/1831413286539292709?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported,<\/a> rank-and-file agents have taken issue with the Department of Homeland Security&rsquo;s and the Secret Service&rsquo;s skewed sense of priorities. She noted officers have complained that sending agents and others to the LGBTQ conference during an intense campaign season &ldquo;is tone-deaf when resources are stretched so thin.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I would like to know with the operational tempo [we&rsquo;re under], how they think this is an appropriate use of manpower?&rdquo; one source in the Secret Service community asked, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/susancrabtree\/status\/1831413286539292709?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to <\/a>Crabtree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently USSS leadership got the message.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/secret-service-ripped-for-plan-send-staff-disney-world-lgbtq-summit-failures-protecting-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a> late last week, a Secret Service communications official said, &ldquo;Due to its current operational tempo, the U.S. Secret Service is limiting participation in conferences to only those personnel who have no impact on current protective operations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Two U.S. Secret Service administrative staff members, who are responsible for the implementation of federal special emphasis programs, are attending the 2024 Out &amp; Equal Workplace Summit.
