As with ordinary djinn, an Ifrit may be either a believer or an unbeliever, good or evil, but it is most often depicted as a wicked, ruthless and evil being; a powerful Shaitan. Ifrits are believed to inhabit the layers of the underworld or desolated places on the surface, such as in ruins or caves.
Here are a few things you might not know about the United States Secret Service. President Abraham Lincoln established the United States Secret Service on April 14, 1865. It is a sad historical irony that later that day, Lincoln was assassinated. When it was commissioned the following July, the âSecret Service Division of the Department of the Treasuryâ was responsible for tracking down counterfeiters.
The job of protecting presidents started in 1894 with Grover Cleveland, who was guarded part time. That role expanded after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901, and it became a crime to threaten the president in 1917. Today, guarding the president and other top officials accounts for most of the Secret Serviceâs budget, which totals about $1.4 billion per year and continues to grow.
