PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.
Actually insane.
The security that the secret security provided was incompetent, and allowing the President to attend at that venue was incompetent. It wasn't just Cole Allen saying it.
"Hinckley stated that the Washington Hilton 'is not secure' and urged the hotel to stop hosting major high-profile events “because bad things keep happening there.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, multiple high-profile attendees at the dinner have publicly exposed what they described as shockingly relaxed security protocols.
Kari Lake posted that upon entering, no one visibly inspected her ticket or asked for photo identification.
In a post shortly after the shooting, Lake wrote: I can’t believe how lax the security was at the White House correspondents dinner tonight. Upon entering nobody asked to visibly INSPECT my ticket nor asked for my photo identification. All one had to do was flash what appeared to be a ticket and they were fine with that.
When you consider you are entering a roomful of fake news media —90% of whom hate the President you would think they would have better security. This is what happened when what sounded like gunfire erupted. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/04/john-hinckley-jr-man-who-shot-reagan-whcd/#comments
