CE Barbie has made her soft landing.
Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem debuted in her newly-created role as special envoy for “Shield of the Americas,” as President Trump announced the initiative in Florida Saturday.
Trump fired Noem as DHS chief on Thursday after a series of flubs that included claiming in a House hearing the president approved $220 million in TV ads starring herself — and her stunning non-answer about whether she had “sexual relations” with top aide Corey Lewandowski.
The 54-year-old former governor of South Dakota, who earned the nickname ICE Barbie for her perfectly coiffed hair and makeup during her highly publicized immigration enforcement photo ops, sat in the front row alongside War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Trump gathered a dozen allied Latin American leaders in his golf resort outside Miami to announce the newly formed US-led coalition of conservative Latin American governments aimed at fighting cartels and countering Chinese influence in the hemisphere.
“We have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them,” he said.
Noem did not speak during the announcement, with Trump handing the microphone to Rubio, and then Hegseth after his remarks. The president indicated the initiative would operate under Rubio’s supervision, meaning Noem would be working under him.
“I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his leadership in organizing this really important stuff. He’s fantastic,” Trump commented.

Well, that’s a hideous hairstyle, even if her face was very pretty. JMHO on the hair.
I hate that attractive women nitpick their faces as though they were still teenagers (my nose is too big!), and resort to surgical procedures. They don’t need them.
Her hair however needed a redo, and her current one is much better.
And the most successful DHS Secretary ever, securing the border in less than one year. Unforced errors did her in.
AND——SHE CAN RIDE A HORSE VERY WELL
LOL. I keep thinking of Wonder Woman when I read Shield of the Americas.
LOL. Yeah, she’s had some elective surgery.
I hope her dismissal from DHS knocked her down a peg or two — gave her a dose of humility. Such a narcissist.
“She was far more attractive before”
That’s so true; she was girl-next-door beautiful. Now she looks like a tart.
“The real story will be when Trump nominates her replacement at DHS.”
Markwayne Mullin. And you’re right about the circus thing.
She’s absolutely full of herself. That ridiculous looking hair, giant earrings and fake lips and face.....out there doing the tough guy routine. Pathetic. I feel sorry for her husband. I wonder if Corey will go with her to her new job.
I predict the confirmation hearing will be a circus.
It'll all come down to Fetterman. With him, 50 votes are there and Vance will break the tie. Without Fetterman, 49 votes so her Replacement will be rejected.
Funny.
Without special effects, Emily Deschanel in Bones.
Old photo....
Can’t remember actress she looks like.
A lot like Betty White. But even more like someone I can’t quite recall.
Sorry, to all. Here is the Emily Deschanel scene without special effects in the show Bones.

She has craaaaaazy eyes
I do wish she'd tone it down. She's a good looking woman (operative word:woman). She's not a teen ager
