South Dakota Governor Kristi Norm has been rumored as the next Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The former frontrunner to be Donald Trump’s running mate is being reported by CNN based on “two people familiar with the selection.”
Until we hear it from Trump, it’s only a rumor.
According to CNN:
Noem, who previously was a South Dakota representative, will now be tasked with overseeing a sprawling agency that oversees everything from US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.
Noem had once been on Trump’s shortlist for vice president, though her relationship with Trump shifted after the negative rollout surrounding the publication of her book: “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she revealed that she once killed her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, when she was not displaying the signs of an ideal hunting dog.
This does sound like an odd pick if it’s real.
I like Kristi Noem but not sure if she would be the best choice for that job. I actually wouldn’t mind if we just got rid of the Department of Homeland Security. It might must so infested with leftists and never-Trumpers by now.
Cleaning up after Mayorkis will be a heavy lift, she'll get r done.
Kristi Norm? We need actual proofreaders these days.
She will go after all them dawgs!
Bogus crap. In real America on the ranches/farms it is done occasionally.
DHS just needs to disappear!
She was right on that issue. The law they wanted passed would have been appealed and overturned. She saved her state from wasting litigation funds on a poorly written law.
“Do you know how hard it is to shoot your dog?”
Well, apparently it wasn’t that hard for Kristi as she shot the dog failed to kill it had to leave it suffering to get another bullet and come back to finish it off. Then she thought what the heck and went and got a goat she didn’t like and shot it too.
Now that I think about it maybe she’s just what we need at DHS. Kill them all and let God sort it out. 😉
I agree. Better yet, she should stay where she is - as the governor of South Dakota.
Trump's team probably picked her for DHS because she supported Trump's immigration policies when she was a member of the House.
But, why are they tapping politicians, especially politicians in office now?

So you repeat the liberal agenda? not what happened and you missed the point.
Iron hand in the velvet glove. That’s what she will be. You can’t have some ugly old white guy administering the punishment without public pushback. She puts a softer touch on the dirty process. Rats can’t fight back as hard.
“...because they were sent there by a woman”
Really? Did not know that? That’s great.
You mean like a Putin call? lol Get ready to hear from the IC on CNN. And so forth.
Say that after your dog gets gored by a hog with her guts hanging out and skin ripped off, with the dog screaming and the nearest vet an hour away. Shooting her wasn’t a choice at all.
Going to the vet is unrealistic for people far enough out in the boonies.
GOOD! We need someone who is not afraid to pull the trigger. /s
She is a Trump Loyalist.
“Wasn’t it you a few months ago, assuring everyone here that there wasn’t going to be a presidential election this year?”
FR’s brainwashed doomers had the Army and Marines marching across America, shooting 10 million MAGA supporters. Any survivors were destined for concentration camps.
Since the election, the doomers have fallen asleep on Jim Rob’s fainting couch.
“But, why are they tapping politicians, especially politicians in office now?”
Because the opposite is hiring from the unelected deep state, and Trump saw how that worked out for him. Hiring people that the citizens elected is a great way to show the citizenry you are paying attention to what they say.
Horrible & stupid choice, if true.
Hopefully. Bush created that department right after 911. Dumb move. Redundant. Drain on the budget.
