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.
Yup. Her first decree should be: “You’re all fired, you can all go home.”
Whacko dog killer? Do you know the circumstances? You sound like a typical Democrat. Accuse first, ask questions later.
I understand your point, but, surely, not every unelected person is part of the deep state.
I shot plenty of dogs growing up in the country. Attacking chickens or people would do it.
We had a dog tried to attack my little sister when she wa playing in the yard. If our dog Blue hadn’t jumped in to prevent the attack, she would have been seriously hurt.
The other dog was put down on the spot (bullet to the head).
Sometimes dogs need killing. City folks and bleeding hearts don’t understand country life.
I like Noem, but, how much background experience does she have for this job? Of course she would pick up a little as a governor...
Peter Pace if DHS has to exist. Prefer to dismantle it.
There you go!
Is that official— announced by Truth Social?
Everybody but, it seems................
Privatize the TSA!
I want a procedure where my luggage and me stay together as a unit and never leaves my eyes.
Yeh, I know the circumstances. She admits it in detail in her book. You sound like a fact challenged guy who doesn’t keep up. 😉
Read the book. She basically admits in lurid detail that she knows nothing about hunting or hunting dogs. I grew up around both my whole life.
Kristi Noem has no business being in charge of a major govt agency. Trump is going to find that out the hard way.
“Trump taps Kristi Noem...”
(Gov. Hottie!)
4D chess?When Thune contemplated senate departure last year,
it was to run for Gov. Mitch talked him out of it.
This opens door to change dynamic of leadership race.
Maybe Scott does have chance after all.
Dunno… ?? But possible https://t.co/ISopaBn7fC— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) November 12, 2024
Yes I’ve heard that theory bandied about. Could be true. Trump gave Nicki Haley the UN job to get her out of the SC governor’s mansion so Henry Mcmasters a true conservative could take the job.
She should be heading up Dept. Of Interior.
“Sometimes dogs need killing.”
Not just dogs.
