John Andrew Napolitano is not exactly a righty.. He actually goes against the right more than you think when it comes to constitutional issues.. He will surprise you… he is very libertarian

The judge is a libertarian.

You are avoiding the point I'm making by trying to change the subject.
The USSS application/brochure. While promoting DEI, they openly don't include a group in their diversity.
Your defense is becoming as bad as an SNL skit today.

Okay, dumbass. Here's your life lesson for today.
Compare search results from Google to other, more independent, search engines.
Google vs Bing.
Google vs Duck Duck Go.
Google vs Yahoo!
Google vs ...I can go on and on.
Yandex. It's a search engine based in Russia. Therein, you avoid the censorship you find here on our news. ON their news? Not so much.
Looking for electronics? Naver.
I've used Baidu (under a VPN) for searches.
I've installed WolframAlpha several times for different people. It's a SE designed for teachers, students, and other groups that require you to compute things from maths to linguistics.
Hey, I use Google for some things. I know how popular it is today. But it's not the best choice for more than a few things.

No changing the subject. You talk about the lack of white dudes and call it a lack of “diversity”. There are more than enough white dudes in the damn Secret Service, so to not “include a group in their diversity” is absolutely silly. The point of the application/brochure is to add diversity to a white washed agency.
I will say there isn’t a worse group for victimhood that frail white dudes

Duck Duck Go isn’t independent in the fucking least bit. I use Bing and Google. I won’t be using anything based in Russia.
You use what you want and I’ll use what I want.
Of course Google isn’t best, I know the playbook by heart at this point. Google isn’t good, CNN isn’t a good news source, and OAN and Fox are.

Are you suggesting I'm some "frail, white dude?"
What you have just admitted is that they are not interested in hiring more Caucasian men. That's the reason the application is printed in the manner it has been. Blatant racism. It's not diversity, in any means.
IF it were 45 white guys and five others...I'd say the same thing. It's not DEI, it's open discrimination and racism.
I am continually amused with your inability to look at both sides of issue.

Independent wasn't the right word. Smaller label?
I don't watch CNN, Fox News (other than Gutfeld!,) or OAN. I do visit their sites to see what view they are publishing to see both sides of what's being "pushed." I read a lot of different news outlets.
One motivating reason? In the time it takes to watch a three or four minute segment on one of these news outlets...I can read two in the same time.
Do you use an AC? Drink Vodka? I guran-damn-tee you if you need stem cell procedures and they told you "this was invented in Russia," you'd take it quickly.

There’s 4500 secret service employees (3200 special agents and 1300 uniformed officers) how many of those do you think are white dudes? More than 70%, law enforcement has always been predominantly white dudes, so more diversity is needed.

What part of current hiring practices, and current advertisements, do you not understand?

Are you intentionally being obtuse and condescending or is this your normal, everyday attire?
Let me repeat- of the agents/officers of the Secret Service 70% are white, current hiring practices should reflect more diversity, the fucking place doesn’t need more fucking white dudes….continue your embracing of white fragility and faux victimhood

If you are going this way. Are you illiterate? No, that not right. It's reading comprehension.
I specifically pointed to their applications and brochures. And immediately you changed the subject: you moved the goal post. I pointed to the material NOT being DEI, because of its lack of inclusion.
And yet...

So race is more important than experience, ability or education?

Striving for diversity is building incompetence into an organization. Hire the best for whatever job. When you push for diversity, hire for DEI it is actively seeking less than.
Blacks are 20 percent of the Secret Service, so I agree that they are overrepresented compared to making up 12-13 percent of the population. Whites are 59 percent, just below their 61 percent national composition. Hispanics at 13 percent lag their 17 percent national composition. Asians/Native Americans balance it out for the most part.
So, tell us how hiring practices should change? Aim for fewer black, more hispanic, hold the line on whites? When you talk out of your ass you define yourself. You don't know, you just assume because of your echo chamber.
If USSS just hired the most competent applicants, race/sex be damned, would that be okay with you? If I had a protective detail, that's what I'd want.
