Hey.

That guy who jumped the fence and entered the White House?  'Member he was tackled by the guard inside the front door? Not. The guard wasn't there.

The guards outside didn't shoot or release the hounds 'cause they didn't see that he was armed. He was. He had like 800 rounds of ammo in his pockets and also was brandishing a knife when he entered the front door.

And since the guard was not at the front door the guy made it through the East Room and into some other room. There he was tackled by some guard.

There's a buzzer system at the White House entrance. The buzzer didn't go off. It had been muted because it was found to be "distracting."

There's a new director of the Secret Service, a woman. She replaced her predecessor when Secret Service agents were found to be having sexy-time with libertines in, Colombia, I think it was. Drunk, too. Drinky-time and sexy-time, during protect-POTUS-time.

Pageviewers, America, the American public, the President of the United States, are not being well-served by America's entire security apparatus, from NSA, CIA, FBI, Secret Service, down to beat cops, like those at the Boston Marathon. I don't know how long this dysfunction has existed, nor how many billions of dollars we are paying for it but it is not working. America is not working.
