“We have complete inability to achieve our most basic missions,” one person said.

Why?

Army CID has faced significant staffing and budgetary shortfalls for years, but new demands since Hegseth’s arrival in January have put added pressure on the agency, officials said...

This account is based on more than a dozen interviews — including with CID staff, current and former defense officials, and others familiar with Hegseth’s activities — and a review of documents revealing the Trump administration’s apparent unwillingness to meet the Army’s request for additional funding and personnel for the mission....

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s unusually large personal security requirements are straining the Army agency tasked with protecting him as it pulls agents from criminal investigations to safeguard family residences in Minnesota, Tennessee and D.C., according to numerous officials familiar with the operation. 


The sprawling, multimillion-dollar initiative has forced the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, or CID, the agency that fields security for top Defense Department officials, to staff weeks-long assignments in each location and at times monitor residences belonging to the Hegseths’ former spouses, the officials said.

Isn't this why we shut down USAid?

Clearly this has caused considerable pain.


But, I'm curious...

How can you fire off 11 down votes at once?

Okay, I think maybe I see what you are axing.

You fire off 11 down votes at once by somehow making the system your bitch.

I sure as **** can't do it - and it scares me that someone can. 

Hoping it's a glitch and not evil genius. (((shudders)))

Or it may just be the same crude machinations which keep @CP's Battered Uvula  in chains.

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors

All I have todotoaccomplish that is nothing. Iwould actually have to get off my *** to unleash the yeast. 

Getting 11 reddies in a trice? That would be mighty nice.But I don't know how to roll those dice.

Chance are he didn't.  What probably occurred is he gave you Reddies in the past and when he saw that thread added to what he already gave.  I gave you Reddies on old post where I had given them to you previously,  It updated the total but changed the date to today.
