Althouse: "Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer."

March 17, 2025

"Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer."

"There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned. Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list."

Writes Donald Trump, at Truth Social.

Biden extended protection for Hunter indefinitely. Trump just added some definition to the period of time.; 3/17/25, 7:04 PM

They've got to be tanned, rested and ready by now. Just need to get them some flashlights so they can locate their asses, and they'll be good to go.; 3/17/25, 8:24 PM
gadfly said...: Gosh! Trump has forgotten that he had tons of secret service agents chasing around the world after his adult children and their wives for six months after he left office in his first term. Barron is now an adult but he is likely covered while attending NYU (former presidents obtained coverage for kids away in school).

Trump's protection for his adult relatives ran from January 20, 2021, to July 20, 2021, and was funded by taxpayers, costing an estimated $1.7 million. Trump's new coverage includes 300 Secret Service agents for himself, Melania and Barron.

The Enhanced Presidential Security Act, signed into law by President Biden on October 1, 2024, ensures that Secret Service resources for former presidents and candidates match those of sitting presidents when warranted. Sorry Donnie.; 3/17/25, 8:27 PM

Oh look. Dumb Lefty Mark has returned after going all in on defending a Hezzbollah terrorist activist after that islamic supremacist non-US citizen was properly deported.

Dumb Lefty Mark's behavior is not surprising in the least given the strong and irrefutable alliance between dems/left/LLR-left and the islamic supremacists.; 3/17/25, 11:38 PM

A machine.; 3/17/25, 11:41 PM
Tina Trent said...: Why is he allowed to travel overseas? Shouldn't there be drug testing involved -- for both of them? And the assignment of agents to ex-Presidents' children should be enough to haul Biden before a Congressional committee.; 3/18/25, 2:46 AM

Remember when Biden was bragging about his entire family receiving secret service details?

Bruce Hayden said...: «Its astounding how many people were getting SS protection. No wonder Trump's detail was understaffed and almost resulted in his death»

Exactly. USSS protection for ex-Presidents is statutory. But. The statutes don’t specify how good it has to be. It has been suggested that maybe the reason that Trump’s detail was so short staffed that day was that Dr Jill had decided at the last minute to engage in a shopping trip that day, in the vicinity of the Trump rally. Or something like that. Sure looks to me that there was a conspiracy of non-coverage that day for Trump.

Very much like all the stuff going on at the Capital on 1/6/21. The IC (including the FBI) had significant intelligence in advance that there were a number of people on their radar that were planning on being there - but didn’t share it with the Capital Police. They also didn’t share how many assets they had in the crowds, or who they were. All very atypical. National Guard, many within shouting distance of the Capital were refused, by both the House Sgt of Arms (reporting to Pelosi) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs denied them, even after shots had been fired (Ashli Babbitt), and only were allowed there 4-5 hours later. Police from NJ were on the scene hours earlier.; 3/18/25, 4:49 AM

Is the “this” in that last sentence because of human rights or because Hunter Biden is vacationing there?; 3/18/25, 6:15 AM
Paul said...: I'd just love to see Hunter's face in South Africa as the SS guy besides him holds his hand to his ear mic and then tells Hunter he has go to go and bye bye... packs up and leaves!!!!! You know how many gangs there are in South Africa??; 3/18/25, 8:45 AM
