Restoring Respect

Sometimes I wonder if the more the leftist opposition complains about a policy or a choice, the better that choice actually is. If that is indeed the case then the news that FBI Director Kash Patel has tapped former U.S. Secret Service agent and popular conservative commentator Dan Bongino to be his right-hand man, has got to be very very good news as the left is close to apoplectic with this choice.
On the left there was weeping and gnashing of teeth — par for the course given that Democrats and liberal pundits were still in the process of melting down over Kash Patel’s confirmation last week.
According to the website for his unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign, Bongino started as a police cadet with the New York Police Department in 1995 and became a full officer in 1997. After two years spent patrolling the streets of Brooklyn, he joined the Secret Service in 1999 as a special agent. The 50-year-old father of two who beatHodgkin lymphoma during the pandemic joined the USSS’ Presidential Protection Division in 2006 and remained on protective duty with former President Barack Obama.
Sporadically, in the past I listened Bongino on T.V, and also occasionally listened to his podcast. I especially liked his take after the near assassination of Donald Trump. He did not hold back with his criticism of the secret service and their apparent ineptitude surrounding what happened in Butler, Pa.
In contrast to the whining, crying, and screaming coming from the left, I am looking forward to see how the Patel/Bongino combo goes about restoring respect to the FBI.
