The left and media will use Joe Kent's resignation all day.

However, "no imminent threat" was never the standard. This was a nuclear threshold call not a counterterrorism warrant.

You don't wait for the missile to be in the air.

Historic Reformations at your FBI in 13 months-

Under President Trump’s leadership we’ve rebuilt this FBI into a faster, more effective, more accountable machine focused on protecting American citizens and crushing violent crime all over the country. But many of the reforms we’ve implemented are things some Americans may have never read about:
-Expanded biometric collection overseas with foreign partners to intercept targets before they reach the Homeland - essential for national security and staying ahead of the threat
-Eliminated politicized threat-banding (i.e. white supremacy) & prioritized real overseas & domestic threats – aligning w/ NSPM-7. No more political targeting
-Sent 1,000 agents to the field & implemented a first-of-its-kind LE training to take resources out of the DC swamp and put them back where they belong, in Main Street America
-Sending hundreds of IAs and staff into the field from DC, supporting our 1811 redeployment
-Increased funding for & doubling the size of drone mitigation teams by 100’s - critical as drone technology advances
-Tasked with and successfully executed with our interagency partners to protect Americans at international Special Events like F1, Super Bowl, Club World Cup, and Olympics - all in preparation for World Cup 2026 here in the U.S.
-Creation of the 1st C-UAS school for local law enforcement based on President Trump’s EO - a historic first of its kind school to help train our partners
-Increased funding for the Threats Screening Center (TSC), the FBI’s 24/7 call/data center that allows us to quickly identify threat actors and their activity to stay ahead. One of the first things we did when I was sworn in as Director was to strengthen the TSC's focus on border security and threats abroad
-Brought in SACs to reform IA & SOS intel positions – all to meet field’s intel support needs, so FBI field offices are driving operations with intelligence.
-Built AI working groups to initiate first test use of AI to assist in processing volumes of Nat Sec intel collections – making sure we’re prepared to harness AI to protect Americans
-Totally revamped and rebuilt the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) – the FBI’s primary operations and policy document – reducing volume by 40%, speeding up processes to allow FBI personnel on the front lines to move quicker and be more responsive to the American people
-Rebuilt the outdated Strategic Information & Operations Center (SIOC) into the Director’s Strategic Information Center (DSIC) –a massive overhaul of the FBI's operational command and control node refocusing the FBI on high-speed, rapid dissemination of information. We now coordinate better, faster, and more effectively with partners than ever before.
-Partnerships with private sector technology leaders to rebuild our back-bone infrastructure systems- no more short fixes. Sustained, durational construction of new ecosystems to meet the modern times.

All-Time March Record Highs falling across many areas in the Southwest over the next several days. Record heat spilling out into the Plains later this weekend and weekend. Snow concerns linger across the northern tier of the nation.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country. 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions. 

After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

VSO deputies made 133 arrests in Spring Break crowds this weekend: 84 in the Daytona Beach area and 49 in New Smyrna Beach.

Today Sheriff Chitwood briefed the media on concerns about Spring Break crowds.

There were no shootings on the beach this weekend. Widespread videos posted online this weekend falsely claimed crowds were running from shots fired. These videos were also picked up by news media. In reality, the panic started due to the sound of crushed water bottles or in some cases, people running from the tides.

Off the beach, the Daytona Beach PD has released information on 4 shooting investigations currently underway from this weekend.

In addition to Spring Break crowds in the Daytona and New Smyrna Beach areas, this weekend deputies handled crowds of about 2,000 people at the Hands Up Guns Down event at the Volusia County Fairgrounds and Big Daddy's Block Party in the Spring Hill area of DeLand, which both concluded safely.

Also unrelated to Spring Break, a South Daytona police officer was shot by a fleeing suspect on I-95, and a Port Orange police officer was fired on while responding to a disturbance call.

The Sheriff's Office is aware of upcoming Spring Break events being promoted on social media and is working with city government and law enforcement partners to address concerns. More information will be posted soon.

Drove past this island and saw it got dumped on again—this time by a recycling business 🤦🏽‍♂️
So I picked up the trash before work.

Not sure what invites people to dump… is it a clean space, or existing trash?”
