With former President Trump not taking a desperate second presidential term, without the illegal expected help from former Vice President Mike Pence, on the Jan. 6 insurrection, the move back to Mar-a-Loco, otherwise known as Mar-a-Lago, contained all the usual personal stuff. Except 15 boxes filled with top secret stuff also left the White House in a big van. Apparently, the secret stuff was not returned, so after more than a year, the Feds arrived in Florida to take the boxes and look around.

Seems like a long time to retrieve important papers that could have gotten into the wrong hands. Why wasn't there a White House inspector or two looking inside boxes before they left the White House?

I’d like to see more intelligence from intelligent officials. Looking back in the early 1990s at the scene in Waco, Texas, where a sexual child predator pastor could have been captured from his typical run of 5 miles in his short shorts. Instead, the communal compound got out of hand with the Feds allowing flames to kill almost all of the brainwashed occupants, including children. Some 40 years later, local and federal authorities allowed 77 minutes to pass before taking out an 18-year-old maniac with an assault rifle that shot two teachers and several 4th-graders in Texas.

Many more horrible acts have happened where sound minds could have come to the rescue. We need more real heroes, not just on the big silver screen. Get it together.
