Cheatle Resigns
The DEI disaster Cheatle was pushed out of her job, finally.
It was the Democrats calling her resignation who forced her out, of course. These government incompetents never resign when a Republican demands it.
And there's an element of "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up." Congressmen, including Democrats, objected to her empty repetition of the mantra "the buck stops with me" while she simultaneously showed up for a hearing she had four days to prepare for with no answers. Many she did not know (or claimed not to know them), others she admitted she knew, but refused to say.
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday in the wake of mounting pressure following the assassination attempt on former President Trump, Fox News confirmed.
Fox News reviewed the letter Cheatle sent to the U.S. Secret Service Tuesday morning, just a day after she taking bipartisan heat during testimony before the House Oversight Committee Monday and over a week after a would-be assassin Thomas Crooks attempted to take the life of Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
"To the Men and Women of the U.S. Secret Service, The Secret Service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders and financial infrastructure," Cheatle wrote in a letter to the agency. "On July 13th, we fell short on that mission."
Cheatle said that the "scrutiny" over the last week "has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases."
"As your Director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse," she wrote.

Biden, who did not fire Cheatle in the 10 days since the shooting, said he is "grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service," and that he will appoint a new director soon.
"As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service," Biden said. "We all know what happened that day can never happen again. As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best."
Did he say it, Fox News, or did one of his staffers issue a statement in his name?
"I love this agency, our mission, and the great men and woken who sacrifice so much every day," she wrote. "I have, and will always, put the needs of this agency first."
"In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that, I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director," Cheatle wrote. "I plan on spending time with my Fritos."
That last part may have been fabricated.
Obviously she put the "needs of this agency" last, and only resigned when Democrats demanded her resignation.
Meanwhile, speaking of fabrication, the second-worst president of the modern age... is sadly still with us.
News that former President Jimmy Carter died on Tuesday does not appear to be true.
X (formerly known as Twitter) is blowing up right now because of an "announcement" that appears to have been originally posted by far-right political activist and internet personality Laura Loomer.
The post quickly began trending on social media, with many people retweeting it without taking a closer look. If they had, they would have noticed the multiple inaccurate statements specifically in paragraphs two through four.
Loomer seemed to have realized fairly quickly that the announcement was fake, but her tweet had already been retweet many, many times.
If Jimmy Carter can provide proof of life, why can't the Colander-in-Chief?
