Just a week before Christmas, 1972, the wife of newly-elected Sen. Joe Biden and the couple's baby daughter were killed - and their two sons
badly injured - when the Biden family car was broadsided by a truck at an intersection in Delaware.

The truck driver, Curtis Dunn, was never charged in the crash. But, his daughter Pam Hamill says, he too, suffered, reports CBS News
correspondent Bob Orr.

"He grieved over that," Hamill said. "He was haunted and was tormented by that for years."

Dunn died in 1999, but since then his family has endured widespread rumors and reports that he had been drinking just before the collision.

At least twice, Biden himself has made public references to alcohol being involved in the crash. In 2007 Biden said the truck driver
"allegedly ... drank his lunch." And multiple news outlets, including CBS News, have reported that Dunn was drunk.

Hamill disputes that - saying her dad had not been drinking.

"The truth is, it was a tragic accident," she said. "No alcohol was involved."

The police reports have been lost, but Delaware Judge Jerome Herlihy, who investigated the crash, supports Hamill's claim.

He told CBS News, "There was no indication that the truck driver had been drinking."

Now-retired Delaware Superior Court Judge Jerome O. Herlihy, who oversaw the investigation
as chief deputy attorney general, told Politico, “She had a stop sign. The truck driver did not.”

(Looks like Biden was lying again.)

Not to worry; On day one, trump will have uncle Joe arrested for this and a host of other crimes, and Joe will be retroactively impeached and
convicted. Possibly hung.

Show some faith in project 2025 and MAGA!

I hope you're right but I suspect that President Trump will spend the next four years defending himself from more deep-state lawfare.
The US government is severely infected with corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.

Name them.

Grow the fuck up!

Senior Executive Service (United States)


Agency overview
Formed 1979
The Senior Executive Service (SES)[1] is a position classification in
the United States federal civil service equivalent to general officer or
flag officer rank in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was created in 1979 when
the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 went into effect under President
Jimmy Carter.[2]

Characteristics
According to the Office of Personnel Management, the SES was designed to
be a corps of executives selected for their leadership qualifications,
serving in key positions just below the top presidential appointees as a
link between them and the rest of the federal (civil service) workforce.
SES positions are considered to be above the GS-15 level of the General Schedule, and below Level III of the Executive Schedule. Career members
of the SES ranks are eligible for the Presidential Rank Awards program.[citation needed]

Up to 10% of SES positions can be filled as political appointments
rather than by career employees.[3] About half of the SES is designated
"Career Reserved", which can only be filled by career employees. The
other half is designated "General", which can be filled by either career employees or political appointments as desired by the administration.
Due to the 10% limitation, most General positions are still filled by
career appointees.[4]

Senior level employees of several agencies are exempt from the SES but
have their own senior executive positions; these include the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Defense
Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Transportation Security Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, Government
Accountability Office, Members of the Foreign Service, and government corporations.

Adverse actions
SES career appointees have civil service protections; they may only be
fired or suspended for more than 14 days for misconduct, neglect of
duty, malfeasance, or failure to accept a directed reassignment or to
accompany a position in a transfer of function. These adverse actions
may be appealed to the Merit Systems Protection Board.[5]

An SES career appointee can also be reassigned within the SES, or from
the SES into a competitive service position, based on performance
ratings. A single unsatisfactory performance rating makes them eligible
for reassignment, though it is not mandatory. However, they must be
removed from the SES if they receive two unsatisfactory ratings in a
period of five consecutive years, or two less than fully successful
ratings within three consecutive years. Reassignments may not be
appealed to the Merit Systems Protection Board.[5]

SES career appointees in the United States Department of Veterans
Affairs have different procedures as a result of the Department of
Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of
2017. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has discretion to suspend,
demote, remove, or take other actions against SES career appointees or
other high-level executives if the Secretary determines that the
individual’s misconduct or performance warrants such action, with
abbreviated notice and appeals rights.[5]

By contrast, noncareer and limited-term SES appointees are generally not subject to removal protections and may be removed from the SES at any
time.[5]

Pay rates
(Effective on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning
on or after January 1, 2024)[6]
Minimum Maximum
Agencies with a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System $147,649 $221,900
Agencies without a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System $147,649 $204,000
Unlike the General Schedule (GS) grades, SES pay is determined at agency discretion within certain parameters, and there is no locality pay
adjustment.

The minimum pay level for the SES is set at 120 percent of the basic pay
for GS-15 Step 1 employees ($147,649 for 2024).[7] The maximum pay level depends on whether or not the employing agency has a "certified" SES performance appraisal system:[8]

If the agency has a certified system, the maximum pay is set at Level II
of the Executive Schedule ($221,900 for 2024).[6]
If the agency does not have a certified system, the maximum pay is set
at Level III of the Executive Schedule ($204,000 for 2024).[6]
Total aggregate pay is limited to the salary of the Vice President of
the United States ($284,600 for 2024).[6]

Prior to 2004, the SES used a six-level system. It was replaced with the current open band system on January 1, 2004.[9]
