The Senate on Saturday approved the nomination of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), putting her at the center of an administration focused heavily on immigration.

Noem is in. You know how hard it is to type her name on an iPhone with spell check?

Secretary Noem will be a capable administrator indeed. She should also keep the DHS HQ clear of feral dogs and will be the hottest cabinet secretary in history.

When she was nominated, I did not think she had a dog’s chance.

Her objective should be to eliminate W’s DHS.

That may come in handy with rabid moles that have been in place for years.

“She should also keep the DHS HQ clear of feral dogs and will be the hottest cabinet secretary in history.”

Tulsi won’t be tough on the eyes either, assuming she makes it. But, more importantly, she needs to keep the clowns that she sucked up to in South Dakota at a FAR DISTANCE also, as they will wreck her, and nearly did over the boys playing girls’ sports issue.

Can somebody help me? I’ve been searching for stories on how her nomination to this post is historic, likewise the first openly gay treasury secretary, the first Indian-American nominated to lead a federal law enforcement agency,etc, but I just can’t find those stories

Her first act should be to disband the Department of Homeland Security.
