Staff Reports
At the RNC convention in Milwaukee, Republican Congressman Michael Waltz dropped a bombshell during his interview with Fox News. Turns out, the 20-year-old man who attempted to kill President Donald Trump last weekend had an array of foreign encrypted accounts. That’s right, folks—encrypted accounts, just the kind you’d expect from a Hollywood spy thriller.
Rep. Waltz kept it classy, opting not to comment further while promising more revelations during a House hearing on Monday. It’s clear, though, that a number of “incompetent” heads might roll after congress examines the details of this catastrophic security failure. It’s hard to believe that in 2024, the Secret Service and Homeland Security could drop the ball so spectacularly, leading to President Trump being shot through the ear. Yes, you read that right—the ear. You can’t make this stuff up.
There's Another Update on Trump's Assassin and It Involves Foreign Encryption
Wonder if these accounts are related to the 100’s of accounts the bidens have? https://t.co/1I5aN5zDBv

Lawmakers, predictably, are up in arms, demanding answers and accountability. House Homeland Security Secretary Chairman Mark Green took the opportunity to express what we’re all thinking: Secretary Mayorkas and Director Cheatle were allegedly asleep at the wheel while Director Wray seems to have been too preoccupied to prevent this attempt on the president’s life. Green insists that Congress must work with these agencies to prevent another security debacle. No gold stars for anyone until the American people get the transparency they deserve.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced intense grilling from Senators at the GOP convention Wednesday. This is where it gets juicy—Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly blocked her from testifying. You can’t help but wonder what Mayorkas is trying to hide. Maybe he’s afraid the truth would only prove how underwhelming their efforts to protect our nation’s chief executives have been.
At the end of the day, the American people have had enough of these bureaucratic shenanigans. From blocked testimonies to encrypted accounts, it’s high time for some real answers and a cleanup of this institutional mess. Congress must hold these officials’ feet to the fire, ensuring that America’s next chapter isn’t marred by such egregious security failings. The nation, especially the individuals and families relying on protective services, deserve no less.
