This marks the first time a National Special Security Event designation has been granted for a Certification of Electoral Votes and follows a request made by the DC Mayor to designate this event a National Special Security Event. Various reports including from the House Select January 6 Committee and the Government Accountability Office also called for the DHS Secretary to consider a National Special Security Event designation for future Certification of Electoral Votes.
“National Special Security Events are events of the highest national significance,” said Eric Ranaghan, the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Dignitary Protective Division. “The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants.”
The formal planning process is underway with the formation of an Executive Steering Committee. The Executive Steering Committee is made up of senior representatives from federal, state and local law enforcement and public safety partners and will begin convening in the coming weeks.
In addition to the 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes on Jan. 6, the 2025 Presidential Inauguration on Jan. 20 was previously designated a National Special Security Event and planning has been ongoing for several months.
This designation allows for significant resources from the federal government, as well as from state and local partners, to be utilized in a comprehensive security plan. When an event is designated a National Special Security Event, the U.S. Secret Service assumes its mandated role as the lead agency for the design and implementation of the operational security plan.

I got invited to a Dove hunt this past Saturday in a neighboring county. Legal hunting hours were noon till dusk. There were nine of us and we killed 176 birds. It was the best shooting dove hunt I have been on in a while. There was a lull from about 1-3. Then, the birds began to fly. Temps were in the 70-80s and the wind was about 15 mph so, the doves were very challenging. I had plenty of 20ga. high-brass empties and a bruised shoulder as a testament. There was plenty of food too. Seeing the old '57 Chevrolet " true barn find" was a bonus. My host was gifted that car as is, but now running, by an elderly neighbor he had taken care of for years just before the fellow passed. Jeffery in Alabama
The intrepid "Scout" did his part too.
This guy thinks he’s so smart but guess what he isn’t at all! I love this young lady that puts fact out and makes common sense! This is honestly pure gold! 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/NCOPO6hGCf

Cullman Co. Sheriff Matt Gentry said in a press conference yesterday, "I'm pissed off today. I'm pissed off that we are even having this conversation". Gentry was commenting on a situation where a Cullman Co. citizen was the victim of an online trailer sale that turned into a robbery. The seller was a local veteran who advertised a trailer for sale online. The perp was an illegal who had been caught and released by U.S. authorities. Yet, here he was. It ended up that the seller had a gun and shot the illegal invader after he pulled a knife and attempted to rob the him. Gentry went on to praise the victim for being armed saying "that probably was the only thing that saved his life". The sheriff is right. We should not even be having this conversation, but here we are with the very government that is supposed to represent the best interests of the American people force-feeding us this nightmare. These days the caretakers of the Republic have shoved the honest, hard working, taxpaying Americans to the back of the bus and have not only allowed, but openly encouraged a foreign occupying "army" onto the American populace. What Quislings there are among us! What drives these "leaders/officials" to do this? It was bad enough when we had banditos sneaking across the border. Nowadays, and in a concerted effort and for what I do not know, millions have been and are at this time being transported by planes, trains, and automobiles to points in the U.S. Why we sit in bars, cafes, diners, and around supper tables we all ask, "why is the government doing this to us? Never does a sensible reply or solution appear, but only sinister motives. There has been another big controversy recently with illegals, refugees, mercenaries' or whatever we decide to call these people who smile, grin, nod, and appear to not speak English in Cullman and nearby Blount counties with a forced influx of Haitians under the guise of "to work in the nearby chicken processing plants". I mean to tell you, those folks over there (Alabamians) are pissed off about that and I don't blame them. That makes about as much sense as turning a box of rattlesnakes loose in ones own bedroom and removing the lightbulb right before bedtime. This illegal invasion business has jumped the track miles down the line. I, along with millions of other Americans, share the frustrations of Sheriff Gentry. What will we do if anything? Just a few months back, there was the video out of Haiti where the guy was gnawing on a human hand with another foot and hand cooking in the nearby campfire. It is all madness. If the missionaries could not tame the Haitians in six centuries why do liberals believe they can? Who in their right mind would import such a dangerous trainwreck into their very own country? How many more senseless rapes, murders, and other deaths of innocents in tragic auto accidents due to ignorance of driving laws and DUIs, etc. will the American people have to endure because of ________ politicians listen to the cries of their constituents who they have presently abandoned? Why are we suffering through all of this and other forms of "induced drag" unnecessarily? How long until the American people cry out ENOUGH? I share the pain of Sheriff Gentry and thousands of other Americans across the land that deal with this root problem 24/7? Still, the invaders press north bringing all their virtues good and/or bad. I figure it will come to a head in time.

Steve Mudflap McGrew’s REMASCULATE podcast
Have you noticed how the United States is starting to look like a bus station at 2 a.m.? It’s like we’re all just one missed Greyhound away from being found face down on a plastic bench with a bag of Funyuns as a pillow. People don’t care anymore—about how they look, about how they act, about basic hygiene. We’re all just one pajama-wearing Walmart trip away from complete societal collapse.
Remember when people used to put in the effort to look good? You look at old photos of people in public from, like, the 1950s, and everyone’s dressed like they’re on their way to a job interview at NASA. The men are in suits, hats tilted just right, like they're about to solve a mystery on a train. The women have their hair perfectly styled, lipstick on, clutching a purse like it contains the nation’s secrets. And that’s just to go grocery shopping!
Now? Oh, now we’re out here looking like we’re in the middle of a hostage negotiation with our closet. People are showing up to the airport in Crocs and pajama pants, like they’re expecting a four-hour delay at the gate and maybe an emotional support hamster to get them through it. You see a guy at the DMV wearing a tank top that says “I paused my game to be here,” and you’re like, “Yeah, I bet you did, buddy. I bet you did.”
It’s like nobody even knows what a mirror is anymore. You’ve got folks out here with hair that looks like it’s been styled by a leaf blower. And don’t get me started on the people wearing sunglasses indoors at night. What are you hiding from? The fluorescent lighting? Reality?
Let’s be honest, we’re all living in the ‘People of Walmart’ slideshow now. And it’s not just how we look; it’s how we act! People used to say “good morning” or at least grunt in your general direction. Now, you get on a bus, and it’s a collection of feral stares and people making TikToks like it’s a confessional booth at a dive bar.
It’s like the collective standard of public decorum has fallen so far that if you’re just wearing clothes that aren’t stained, you’re practically a Rockefeller. There used to be a time when people took pride in their appearance, where leaving the house in sweatpants was a cry for help, not a fashion statement. Now, wearing jeans is considered “dressed up.”
The United States in 2024: where the dress code is “Please just have something on,” and the only rule is “No shirt, no shoes, no problem.” We’re all just one Netflix binge away from showing up to work in a bathrobe and calling it “business casual.”
Everyone should stop what they’re doing and listen and share this.
