Secret Service Director Cheatle resigns after disastrous testimony to Congress… but will she be charged?

Having gone down in flames on live TV, and facing an impeachment vote, Kimberly Cheatle is out.

Sorry, but that’s not good enough. She needs to be charged. Her resignation does not exonerate her, and she is still accountable for additional hearings if Congress demands it. Her stunning Keystone Cops performance yesterday was widely perceived as incompetence. But is that true?

Is “failing to preserve” comms recordings an act of omission or commission? We all know the feds intentionally destroyed all their comms/emails/texts from J6… all of it gone before the end of January. Why would this be any different? What about failing to consider additional resources/force multipliers in the wake of heightened threat risks identified in advance? What about the security detail made up of J.V. scrubs, whom she herself deemed incapable of negotiating a roof with the slope of a wheelchair ramp? What about zero aerial surveillance, something even the assassin managed to pull off, hours before the attack.

In supporting their charge of incompetence, many have cited the fact that the Regime recruited Cheatle from Pepsico, insinuating inexperience. “Oh look, DEI hire, she was only ever guarding chips and soda.” Well, while it may be true that the Secret Service is now drowning in DEI, along with every other fedgov apparatus, and she indeed was the one implementing the DEI, she herself was not a DEI hire.

In fact, she had only been at Pepsico for a year, having just retired from the Secret Service AFTER A 29 YEAR CAREER. She retired as Assistant Director. She was a lifer! Can a lifer be incompetent? Of course it is possible. Everyone knows at least one. But what are the odds? Something smells rotten to me.

Here is her Linkedin. Decide for yourself.

Where’s Brandon?

It has been 25 hours as I type this.

All we have is a digitized withdrawal letter, with an electronic signature, released on social media. I’m no expert on the legal procedures for such a thing, but I’m pretty sure that ain’t it. Not only don’t we know if he took the decision, we’re not even sure he was informed of the decision.

Where is the press conference? The doctor just released a statement that he is “absolutely” fine, nearly symptom free. So maybe no press conference because he still isn’t back in the District, but there are pool reporters wherever he is in Delaware. Or forget the press, record a video message and release that.

I can’t help but think what havoc AI is going to play once this all goes kinetic. Can you imagine the technology possessed by the Regime that you have never seen? Look at the programs that are out there for the gen pop. FedGov, right now, today, has AI so powerful that you would never be able to tell the difference from reality.

These are my musings, lazin’ on a sunny afternoon, in the summertime.

ACTION ITEM: Murder in a Texas Town

UPDATE:

LifeSiteNews — LifeSiteNews is calling for prayers for Margo Naranjo, a young Texas woman who suffered a severe brain injury in 2020 following a car wreck, whose parents have decided to withdraw life-sustaining artificial nutrition and hydration to bring about her death.

In a July 7 video posted to Facebook, Naranjo’s mother, Cathy, announced that after years of little to no improvement in their daughter’s condition, the family has decided “to go ahead and take her off life support.” What that means in this situation, Cathy explained, is that Margo’s artificially-administered nutrition and hydration will be removed. 

Incredibly, Cathy filmed the video with Margo sitting next to her. The video has now been removed from Facebook.

Following the announcement that Margo is no longer going to receive artificial nutrition and hydration and will consequently die, the family has organized a funeral to take place on August 2 at St. Ann Catholic Church in Coppell, Texas, within the Diocese of Dallas. The next day the family is hosting a “Celebration of Life” party.

While the removal of artificially-administered nutrition and hydration is often legal, it is a violation of Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life.

As explained by the National Catholic Bioethics Center, “Having a patient die of dehydration or malnutrition because of withdrawing or refusing to provide food and water by artificial means was declared a violation of the moral law by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2007.”

As a result, Catholics online have begun to express their concern for Margo and are urging her parents not to withdraw her life-sustaining nutrition and hydration.

“Here is a still from Cathy Naranjo waxing bland and banal about the death by starvation she and her husband Mike have planned, and have begun to execute, for their beautiful, vulnerable, daughter Margo,” Catholic commentator Patrick Coffin wrote on X.

Coffin then drew a comparison to the 2005 case of Terri Schiavo, who spent years in a brain-injured condition and become the subject of a lengthy legal battle because her husband desired to remove her feeding tube to cause her death. Terri’s husband was ultimately successful in court, and the woman had her feeding tube removed and subsequently died.

LifeSiteNews is urging Catholics to pray for Margo, and to pray that her family and those involved do the right thing and preserve her life by continuing to provide her with nutrition and hydration.

WSJ: Assassin obtained birds-eye video intel by flying drone over fairgrounds on day of shooting

 ET
A gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.
Thomas Matthew Crooks flew the drone on a programmed flight path earlier in the day on July 13 to scour the Butler Farm Show grounds ahead of Trump’s ill-fated rally, the officials said. The predetermined path, the officials added, suggests Crooks flew the drone more than once as he researched and scoped out the event site.
The 20-year-old would-be assassin fired at least six rounds from the roof of the American Glass Research building roughly 400 feet away from where Trump spoke, killing one spectator, critically injuring two others and leaving Trump with a graze wound to the ear. A Secret Service sniper team shot back, killing Crooks, whose motive remains a mystery.
Multiple investigations are under way into how a gunman was able to climb onto a rooftop with a clear line of sight to Trump and open fire with an AR-15 rifle…

New interview with Archbishop Viganò wherein he further explains the anti-church usurping the One True Church

This is from Matt Gaspers and CFN, though of course they along with the rest of TradInc remain intransigently Fwancis is Definitely Pope splainers. Following are some key excerpts. Link to the full interview at the end. -nvp


Abp. Viganò: My position has not changed: there is only one true Church, and that is the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church. But there are in fact two superimposed realities, so to speak, one of which is the true Church, precisely; and the other is the false church, the deep church. If you pay attention, in my statement J’accuse I expressly wrote “two churches” with a lowercase initial, to underline the anomaly of this coexistence.

Just as also happens in the civil sphere, in the face of blatant violations of the Law by the authority, it is impossible to obtain justice from that same corrupt authority, which avails itself of the complicity of all the administrative and judicial bodies that make its action possible. In theory, that authority has been usurped and is null, but de facto, it acts undisturbed in its power. It is necessary to take note of the usurpation of the Apostolic See — which is not merely vacant, but occupied — in order to put an end to a very serious situation; without forgetting that Bergoglio’s illegitimacy also entails the nullity of all the acts of governance and magisterium that he has carried out, erasing eleven years of errors and horrors.

Those who recognize that authority as valid and legitimate either do so because they are his accomplices and do not want to be discovered in their own betrayal, or because they do not want to accept the necessary consequences that derive from it: first and foremost, to acknowledge that this coup d’état began with the Second Vatican Council. Admitting that one has fallen into a terrible deception requires first of all humility, and so far no one among Cardinals and Bishops has had the courage to recognize that the Catholic Church has been hostage to heretics for decades, and that these heretics have humiliated and discredited her before the world precisely in order to deprive her of authority.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen wrote, “The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. The Church of Christ [the Catholic Church] will be one. And the false prophet will create another. The false church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a federation of churches. And religions will form a certain kind of global association. A world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the Antichrist. The mystical body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and it will be the false prophet. Satan will bring him in among our bishops.”

The “conciliar church” is doctrinally, morally, and liturgically separate from the Catholic Church, but at the same time its hierarchy calls itself Catholic, and as such demands obedience from the faithful of the true Church. This hierarchy does not represent the true Church of Christ, but claims to represent her, because if it were to officially separate itself from her, it would no longer be able to avail itself of the authority and authoritativeness of the true Church and would have to act like any other heretical sect. Modernism, following the typical strategy of Masonic sects, taught its emissaries to hide, in order to arrive undisturbed at the command posts. Saint Pius X, by means of an iron organization and making use of faithful collaborators, managed to eradicate this “cesspool of all heresies,” but it regained strength as soon as the defense system desired by the Holy Pontiff was first weakened out of naivety and then deliberately canceled by those who then deplored the “prophets of doom,” just as “conspiracy theorists” are branded today. The purpose is the same as that of those who inspired and financed pacifism: to disarm the adversary in order to be able to conquer him without resistance. The enemy has in fact been able to take possession of all the strongholds that the Hierarchy has culpably left unguarded.

The problem is therefore not whether we are in the Church, but rather whether those who usurp her authority to demolish the Church are part of the Church. They are the ones who must be kicked out — not us! They are not part of the Church whose authority they have usurped; therefore they are not entitled to do what they do and cannot in any way demand obedience from the faithful.

To be continued.
