Deep Dive
Why is President-elect Trump potentially at risk before Inauguration Day?
The Secret Service has shown deficiencies in protecting Trump, allowing multiple security breaches. These incidents have been observed by potential attackers as tests of the Secret Service's response, indicating vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
What specific security measures are currently lacking for President Trump?
The Secret Service is not using air assets like helicopters, which would extend their perimeter and provide better protection against organized threats. Additionally, Trump's plane lacks countermeasures like chaff, making it vulnerable to rocket attacks.
Why is the Secret Service's current leadership ineffective?
The acting director lacks the respect of the rank and file and has shown poor judgment, such as positioning himself prominently in photos with President Biden. The agency also promotes agents with backgrounds in sociology and police science, which is inadequate for managing a $3.5 billion budget.
What archaeological evidence supports the biblical narrative of Jerusalem?
Excavations in the City of David have uncovered the Pool of Siloam and the Pilgrimage Road, which were central to Jewish and Christian religious practices during biblical times. These findings provide physical evidence of the historical events described in the Bible.
Why is the Temple Mount largely unexcavated?
The Islamic Religious Trust has blocked archaeological activity on the Temple Mount, using the pretense of building an emergency exit to bulldoze and dump tons of earth, destroying potential archaeological evidence and hiding the Jewish and Christian heritage of Jerusalem.
What is the significance of the Pilgrimage Road in Jerusalem?
The Pilgrimage Road was the main thoroughfare used by Jews and Christians 2,000 years ago to travel from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple on the Temple Mount. It is considered the most significant half-mile on the planet for billions of people.
Why does the United Nations claim the Temple Mount is exclusively Islamic?
The UN resolution aims to erase the Judeo-Christian heritage of Jerusalem by denying Jewish and Christian historical connections to the site. This aligns with the Islamic Religious Trust's efforts to rewrite history and suppress archaeological evidence.
What is the purpose of the presidential pardon power?
The pardon power, as explained by Alexander Hamilton, serves to mitigate the cruelty of the law by allowing the president to grant clemency to federal prisoners, reducing the risk of excessive punishment and correcting injustices in the legal system.
How does the prospective pardon of Hunter Biden affect potential investigations?
The prospective pardon makes it difficult for Hunter Biden to plead the Fifth Amendment, as he is immune from prosecution for any crimes since 2014. This could force him to testify in future investigations, potentially exposing information about his business dealings and relationships.
What is the significance of declassifying government documents?
Declassifying documents allows the American people to access information about government activities, ensuring transparency and accountability. It helps prevent the government from becoming a pawn of the people, as intended by the Constitution.
- Inadequate Secret Service protection for President Trump
- Concerns about organized threats and potential attacks
- Lack of sufficient manpower and resources within the Secret Service
