Before Election, Taxpayers Will Send Secret Service to LGBTQ+ Disney World Convention

Within three months of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, millions of Americans, struggling with the crime, inflation and illegal immigration caused by the Democratic Biden-Harris Administration, are taking second looks at how government is spending money.

In particular, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice, FBI, and Alejandro Mayorkas’ Homeland Security appear to be throwing billions of dollars towards the destruction of America.

A case in point is what the United States Secret Service is spending taxpayer money and their focus on:

The Secret Service’s Office of Equity Diversity and Inclusion sent out an agency-wide request for nominees to attend an all-expense paid trip to an LGBTQ+ “Out and Equal” Workplace Summit at Disney World in Orlando Oct. 7-10.

The call for nominees to attend the conference, which includes leadership plenary sessions, a “Night Out” at Disney Studios, and a gala event the final night, is rankling many rank-and-file special agents, Uniformed Division officers and their families.

A large number of Secret Service employees are working very hard — many seven-day work weeks with no time off — that they’ve already hit their “supermax limit” for overtime pay, meaning they can no longer receive overtime for their work.

One special agent characterized that phenomenon as essentially “working for free.”

Many special agents and Uniformed Division officers say the call for nominees for the LGBTQ+ conference at the height of campaign season is tone-deaf when resources are stretched so thin — especially in the wake of the J13 assassination attempt against former Pres. Trump that killed Corey Comperatore.

“I would like to know with the operational tempo (we’re under), how they think this is an appropriate use of manpower?” one source in the Secret Service community asked.

“In times of adversity, doubt, and challenge, Queer joy and resilience will always outshine and persevere,” the Conference states. “Each one of us possess this light inside of us, which when nurtured and joined by others magnifies to become brighter. Together, we form a searchlight and beacon for ourselves and others.”

The email also comes less than a week after the Secret Service announced that its employees are so overworked by the security requirements of protecting former Pres. Trump, JD Vance, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz + other protectees, as well as the United Nations General Assembly, scheduled for NYC later this month, that the U.S. military is being called on to supplement Secret Service personnel.

That help from Department of Defense will continue throughout 2024 through at least Inauguration Day, the USSS announced Thursday.

Rank-and-file Secret Service special agents are wondering if the DoD and the Department of Homeland Security personnel being provided will be adequately trained in protective duties.

The Secret Service has used Army and Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers for many years, but USSS special agents want to know how these additional DoD and DHS personnel providing supplemental support this year will be trained.

Some Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI personnel, used for “post-standers” during J13 and other protected campaign events only receive one PowerPoint presentation for training for these events, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

Most of the agents assigned to the J13 Butler rally were Homeland Security personnel.

The Secret Service email calling for nominations for the “Out and Equal” conference asks each assistant director’s office across the agency to email their selections for conference attendees to the Director of Alternative Employment by Sept. 13.

“Any questions regarding this announcement should be directed to chief, Alternative Employment, DEIA, and Data Analytics” or to the “administrative manager,” the email states.

The “Out and Equal Conference,” boasts the participation of many Fortune 500 companies and “government agencies.”

Some listed as sponsors of the event include big U.S. companies such as Boeing, The Walt Disney Company, Target, McDonald’s, Morgan Stanley, Apple, Accenture, JPMorganChase, Bank of America, Experian, Dell Technologies, Deloitte and many others.
