An official admitted to Blaze News that security resources were being pushed to their limits after former President Donald Trump said his venue was downgraded in order to free up resources for the president of Iran. 'Personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits.' Trump said during a rally on Sunday that the Biden administration did not allow his campaign to have a 50,000-person audience at a rally in Wisconsin a day earlier due to the lack of available security resources. "We were going to do an outdoor rally, and we ended up having to do it inside, in front of about a thousand people," Trump said in Erie, Pennsylvania. "But they didn't want me to be outside. They said they couldn't get us enough people because they were guarding the United Nations and Iran."Trump was referring to a speech given by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. President Joe Biden (D) also gave a speech to the assembly. U.S. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi released a brief statement to Blaze News about the claims. "Former President Donald Trump is receiving heightened levels of U.S. Secret Service protection and our top priority is mitigating risks to ensure his continued safety at all times. Out of concern for operational security, we cannot provide specific details about resources allocated for event security or communications between agency personnel and our protectees." A senior official briefed on the planning but not authorized to speak to the media appeared to confirm Trump's claims in a statement to Blaze News. "Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo," the official said. "This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level," the official added. The Secret Service has faced intense scrutiny over lapses in security that led to the near assassination of the former president and another plot that was thwarted outside of Trump International Golf Course.

News posts appearing in the PS5 dashboard are the result of a bug. | Screenshot: PlayStation 5 dashboard An apparent bug was causing game art backgrounds to be replaced by promotional messages and news posts on the PlayStation 5 dashboard for some people on Monday. The images they saw featured promotions for long-expired discounts and ads for new games. People lamented the change in forums and on social media, saying the game art that previously showed up when they highlighted a game was gone. Instead, the image that would ordinarily show up as a news post in a separate section of the PS5 UI was splashed across the screen behind games like Miles Morales, Hi-Fi Rush, and Final Fantasy VII Remake. In a since-deleted post, Daniel Hiatt, product lead for Game Hub and Activity Suggestions with PlayStation, wrote Monday afternoon that the change... Continue reading…
