Calling all heroes

After Trump failed to secure a second presidential term, despite trying to solicit illegal help from Pence and the infamous Jan. 6 insurrection, he moved back to Mar-a-Loco, otherwise known as Mar-a-Lago. When he did, Trump took all the usual personal stuff, including 15 large boxes filled with top secret stuff. Apparently, the secret stuff was not returned, so after more than a year, the FBI arrived in Florida recently to get the boxes back.

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 the boxes before they left in the van for Florida? 

I would like to see more intelligence from intelligent officials. Looking back in the early 1990s at the scene in Waco, Texas, when a sexual child predator pastor could have been captured from his typical run of five miles in his short shorts. Instead, the communal compound got out of hand with the feds allowing flames to kill just about all of the brainwashed occupants, including children. Some 40 years later, a bunch of 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 fourth-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.
