@susancrabtree @RCPolitics Wiles is a Uniparty trojan horse!

🚨🚨@RCPolitics SECRET SERVICE EXCLUSIVE: In the wake of another assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night, sources tell me that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles rejected efforts by former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to impose more reforms on the Secret Service earlier this year after a string of scandals and failures. The DHS leadership team at the time wanted to install a political, hand-selected chief counsel after Secret Service Director Sean Curran's top attorney resigned after an embarrassing road-rage incident, which RealClearPolitics first reported. Wiles, who directly oversaw the Secret Service and kept Curran in place despite numerous lapses and scandals, resisted efforts to install a hand-selected chief counsel, a former administration official with direct information about it told @RCPolitics. These sources also contend that Wiles undercut another effort to have a DHS deputy chief of staff offer reform recommendations to the Secret Service. In fact, when the DHS deputy chief of staff visited the Secret Service to offer them, Wiles had the individual walked out of the building after Curran complained to her, the sources assert. The security lapses and embarrassing incidents include: missing the stand in a tree at West Palm Beach International airport, allowing Code Pink protesters to harass Trump and several cabinet members at a D.C. restaurant, missing a glock during screening at a Trump golf course in Virginia, two officers getting into a physical fight outside President Obama's residence, an agent celebrating Charlie KIrk's assassination on social media, and numerous others. How many close calls does Trump get before Curran and others at the Secret Service lose their jobs? — a former administration official asked in an interview with @RCPolitics after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. “The guy is going to get killed, and everyone will keep their jobs,” the former official remarked. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied the assertions that Wiles opposed the DHS leadership team's Secret Service reforms. "Let me be clear: Nobody cares more or has pushed harder, or has asked more hard questions about President Trump's safety than Susie Wiles," she said in a statement to RCP. "The insinuation that Susie would object to anything that would help strengthen protection for her boss and friend is absolutely absurd." Leavitt did not respond to specific questions about whether Wiles was involved in a decision to walk the DHS deputy chief of staff offering reform recommendations out of Secret Service headquarters or rejected the appointment of a political chief counsel. A source familiar with presidential security protocols said Wiles has let Curran remain in his job despite numerous failures on his watch and no firings for Butler. In fact, Curran gave two Butler supervisors big promotions even though they failed to ensure that all the buildings at the Butler rally were covered with security assets One is now an assistant director in charge of professional responsibility and all disciplinary actions against Secret Service employees. “They’re about to fire Kash, and he had nothing to do with this when Susie oversees the Secret Service, and it’s failure after failure after failure, and she gets no blame,” the source said. “This should’ve been the most secure perimeter in the world. And the fact that the guy made it through the mags underscores the epic failure of the US Secret Service in protecting the president.” Other sources tell RCP that Wiles never wanted Curran as USSS director, but Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump pulled for him. If anything goes wrong, "It's on the boys," for choosing him, Wiles has remarked to other top administration officials after Trump decided to tap him, according to multiple administration sources.

@dogwoodblooms Good raising! 👏

All day I’ve been planning Belle’s graduation. It’s in two weeks. I ordered her diploma and cried like a baby. Belle’s graduating magna cum laude with a 3.8 GPA. She’ll walk the stage with three cords: one for academic honors, one for community service, and one for excellence in the arts. I couldn’t be prouder of her. But this isn’t just her achievement—it’s my entire family’s. I saw the public education system and knew it wasn’t good enough. So when Belle was in first grade, I pulled her out and set off on the adventure of homeschooling. Brandon and I worked opposite schedules in the beginning, sacrificing time together for what was best for our daughters. When we climbed out of debt, I stopped working to focus solely on our young’uns. We sacrificed extra income to invest time in our children. And the payoff? I never had to worry about their safety. I never had to worry that my girls would be brainwashed with political rhetoric or poisoned by social theories. My eldest, Bug, graduated with honors. She went straight into a trade, has zero debt, a perfect credit score, and enough money for a down payment on her first home. She’s 22 years old. Belle is following in those same footsteps. My daughters know NC history almost as well as I do. They’ve been reading the classics since elementary school. They understand personal finance better than I do. They’ve met politicians and helped lobby for common-sense laws. They’ve attended political conferences. They have a better understanding of civic duty and the Constitution than most elected officials, and they’ll never fall victim to a hive mind. Even better? My family is close. My girls tell me everything. They are my little buddies and best friends with each other. Both are daddy’s little girls. Nothing will ever crack what Brandon and I built by deciding to educate our girls ourselves. If you’ve ever needed a sign that right now is the time to homeschool your babies, here it is. ❤️

@nicksortor What were they shooting cap guns?

🚨 JUST IN: Acting AG Todd Blanche confirms the Secret Service heard a "LOUD GUNSHOT" as the WHCA dinner shooter sprinted through securirty Secret Service fired FIVE TIMES at the WCHA dinner shooter, but did not hit him He fell to the ground, and was arrested. One agent shot.

@mattvanswol @EggZackly1 Sounds like Asheville.

I just got a phone call from my kid's school. They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest. I'm so pissed. Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do. How does this happen?! How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?! This may be our last straw... Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point. I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer. If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do: 1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY How do I know? Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school? 30,000 kids. Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country? 2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000. Guess what? None of them are teachers. Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years? Number of students: 2.5% increase Number of teachers: 2.2% increase Number of administrators: 45% increase Number of consultants: 107% increase You want to pay teachers more? Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look. Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start. Sorry for the rant... I've been patient. I've been engaged. I've gone to the meetings. I've read the emails. I've donated, a LOT. I'm really close to just being done. If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values. And it isn't my kid.

@mattvanswol @CollinRugg @StarsNScoop A bunch of DEI and deep state holdovers from Biden and some from Obama era. Not addressing this is putting @POTUS life in danger. Don Jr. , Eric, Melania...someone needs to rattle somebodys cage before it's too late!

@CollinRugg @StarsNScoop Can someone explain to me how every single Secret Srrvice agent who fired their weapons at this man did not hit him? He should not be alive today. How did all of them miss? How is that possible?!!

NEW: Cole Allen spewed anti-Christian and anti-Trump rhetoric on his social media accounts, said he wanted to target the Trump admin in his manifesto, according to CBS News. According to Allen’s sister, he sent the manifesto to his family before the incident. Allen had also attended a No Kings rally in California and was a part of the group named 'The Wide Awakes,' per Fox News. Allen fired a total of 5 to 8 shots during the incident. He was not struck. He traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago, then from Chicago to Washington, D.C. According to a senior U.S. official, one of his family members notified police about his manifesto. Allen did *not* mention the White House Correspondents' Dinner in the manifesto. The writings were reportedly written on paper and found in his hotel room.

@toddstarnes @Cline3Jacqui 💯

The first 250 suspects to be interviewed should be the "journalists" who demanded that Trump be "forcefully" protested at the #WHCD.

@SenFettermanPA @MargoinWNC Thank you for a dose of common sense!

We were there front and center. That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

@toddstarnes There are definitely mentsl issues there!

@SecMullinDHS @TheLastRefuge2 @POTUS Another very close call for @POTUS. What a nightmare. Past time to clean house at SS.

Thankfully, President Trump, the First Lady, all members of the Cabinet, the media, and guests are safe. @POTUS has displayed incredible composure and leadership tonight. I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement personnel for their quick and heroic actions. An investigation is ongoing, and we will provide updates as they become available.

@susancrabtree @SecretService Should have cleaned house at the SS after Butler. Dangerous for @POTUS. Too many close calls.

.@SecretService Director Sean Curran applauds the work of his agents and Uniformed Division officers -- says they performed "admirably." "We got to see what they do, and that individual who charged a checkpoint was apprehended." "It shows that our multi-layered protection works, and I'm grateful to our partners that assist us with these sites and protecting these sites." "It's very fortunate that this officer is alive, is being observed." "I'm grateful that the President reached out to this officer earlier. I ask everybody to pray for him and all of our officers and agents that were involved, and I will tell you, we will continue with the mission." The Metropolitan Police Chief says the suspect was not known to them - but that question should be directed to the Secret Service and the FBI.

@AuntieKandy1 @BrianEntin Bomb check.

@BrianEntin But WHY was he basically naked in the photo??? Help this make sense....

Suspect was armed with a shotgun, a hand gun, and multiple knives as he attempted to run into the White House Correspondents Dinner.

If the Presidential Election were held TODAY, what are the odds that you would vote for JD Vance? ☑️

@Pixie1z @PeachProof23 Anchovies!

What is the nastiest pizza topping?

@GuntherEagleman @NCGOPBelle @SenateGOP Sadly the Uniparty is in the majority.

I’m not going to lie, when the @SenateGOP won the majority, I thought we would get a couple wins. Instead we have a Senate GOP that refuses to pass secure election laws.

@OANN We The People don't like the Uniparty and their constant destruction of the Republic!

Approval of the United States Congress remains near historic lows, with a recent Gallup poll showing just 10% approval and 86% disapproval. Watch OAN on Spectrum and YouTube TV today!
