ROW’S OUT! SECRET SERVICE’S DEI AGENDA CRUMBLES
SECRET SERVICE SCOOP: ROWE FINALLY OUT AT SECRET SERVICE — WILL IT MARK AN END TO DEI PRIORITIES?
Former Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe said he planned to resign and retire in February but has remained on the payroll as a “senior adviser” for more than four months into the Trump administration, collecting paid leave.
Rowe’s last day was Friday, according to a knowledgeable Secret Service source, and many agents are hoping his departure will sweep out the DEI policies and lowering of standards that led to two assassination attempts against now-President Trump. After years of DEI hiring priorities, their impact is still plaguing the agency as demonstrated by the recent fistfight between two Uniformed Division officers in front of former President Obama’s D.C. residence late last month, which @RCPolitics first reported.
At least one of the big DEI priorities of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s has now ended. With Trump’s executive order barring all DEI policies across the federal government, which placed hundreds of DEI officials on paid leave, Secret Service Director Sean Curran is no longer supporting the national 30X30 pledge to hire at least 30% women agents and officers by the year 2030, according to sources familiar with Secret Service policies. This was a major Cheatle priority, and sources say she aggressively pursued it and had achieved 24% women agents and officers with the Secret Service by the time of her forced resignation after the J13 assassination attempt last year.
There are plenty of women agents and officers who adhere to the highest Secret Service standards, but others were not hired solely on merit and at times were pushed through the process even if they didn’t pass all the training tests and requirements.
Within the hour, I’ll report in a separate post about multiple DEI conferences around the country the Secret Service was paying for its agents and employees to attend at the HEIGHT of the frenetic campaign last year while Rowe was complaining that the agency didn’t have enough taxpayer funds to keep manpower levels up.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia DayJune 20, 2026
West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War. The settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
