One of the fundamental problems our society has right now is that those in power are trying to make us pretend that all human beings are interchangeable, instead of accepting that there are always a few on the fringe who are the exception to the rule. 'Women and men are the same.' 'No one has differing innate talents that might be applied to different tasks.' And, maybe we need all of the tasks, not just the ones that involve college (which has a terribly inflated value with so many who have years of education beyond college mastering less than an 8th grade graduate from the 19th century).
So, along with the other failures like keeping an eye on rooftops, listening to citizens who raised the alarm, and sending the A team to guard Jill in Pittsburg (she is running the country) - we Americans should demand taller Secret Service Agents:
"Scene one: after President Trump ducks, a group of agents leaps to him and protects him with their bodies. A female agent who rushes to the stage acts bravely, without a doubt, but the point of the “huddle” is to protect the president. The agent was much shorter than President Trump, leaving his head and neck exposed after he stood up."
" DEI. The Secret Service has highlighted “diversity” as a key priority and its director, Kimberly Cheatle, named to the position in 2022, has pledged to increase dramatically the number of women in the ranks.
This is official policy. The Secret Service openly boasts that it “prioritizes recruiting women candidates” and has formulated an “affirmative action” plan to increase the number of women, LGBT, Native Americans, and other identity groups.
Cheatle herself told CBS News that her goal was to reach 30 percent female recruits by 2030: “I’m very conscious, as I sit in this chair now, of making sure that we need to attract diverse candidates and ensure that we are developing and giving opportunities to everybody in our workforce, and particularly women.” The agency is well on its way. In 2021, for the first time, the special agent training class graduated more women than men."
"These biological facts should be obvious." Wait, is biology a science? We have a Supreme Court Justice who cannot figure out what a woman is because she isn't a biologist. So, I am confused. Do we give credence to biology or to feelings? If it is feeling why does the SC justice need a degree in biology?
"The problem with DEI is that it dictates decisions based not on performance or on the old virtues, such as honor, but on demographics and ideology. " Uh, huh
"The agency itself has published its fitness standards in two parts: one for men, and a separate, less rigorous one for women" This is so wrong! If there is a woman who passes the standard for this position, like maybe being over 6 foot and a certain body mass - great! But, this is not about making the job applicant feel good.
This fundamental problem extends to so many other issues. Like, the American military should not be about pronouns and tax payer funded "sex changes". I hope that Trump and Vance together can reverse the literal insanity. Even the DSM once honestly stated that believing your brain lived in a "wrong body" was a mental issue. Oh, by the way, I heard that the dead shooter's father is a shrink. I have so much confidence in this profession now, generally! (There are good ones like Dr. Paul McHugh.)

I agree, Spartacus! However, Trump could be dead right now but for having a Secret Service agent of appropriate height. I don't think the 30% DEI goal was intended to frame a perfect iconic photo that will get him re-elected and make some progress towards saving our country. :)
All the agents were down below when shots were fired. So it wouldn't matter then. When he was down it wouldn't matter. And before they let him up they knew there was bo threat left.

Without that short lady, that photo would be very different. It was perfect for this occasion.
She made it possible to see Trump's head and shoulders and chest. It created a framing that could not have been done better.

The father is a social worker, not a shrink.
