    This happens to people who drink the blood of puppies. It's epigenetic.

    Those in this administration who are not hyper-billionaires are using taxpayer money to live like hyper-billionaires. Private jets and huge security details are markers for Epstein Class wannabes. Case in point:

    Millions of dollars earmarked by Congress for international aid is now being illegally spent on Russel Vought's security detail.

    Tillis threatens to hijack Senate business amid frustrations with Noem

    [​IMG]




    “If I don't get an answer that you've had a month to respond to, and the remaining ones … as of today, I'll be informing leadership that I'm putting a hold on any en bloc nominations until I get a response, and in two weeks, if I don't get a response, I'm going to deny quorum and markup in as many committees as I can until I get a response,” Tillis said.


    The announcement from Tillis, who has called repeatedly for Noem to leave her post, would represent a rare escalation from any senator — in particular one from the president’s party — in the face of frustrations with a member of the Cabinet. Such a move, if he follows through with his threat, would hijack much of the Senate’s standard operating procedure.

    Tillis’ anger reflects bubbling frustrations with Trump’s embattled DHS chief among Republicans, who have called for some changes to the tone and tenor of the administration’s immigration crackdown after immigration officers shot and killed two American citizens in Minneapolis in January.

    In November 2025, ICE launched a crackdown in Charlotte similar to what it implemented in Minneapolis and other major cities across the country.

    Guys time for a mea culpa, I had earlier posted about Noem spending over 170+ million of taxpayer $$ on multiple luxury Gulfstream G3s for personal use.

    Turns out I was wrong.

    It was over $300 million and Includes a Boeing 737 Max 8 basically a mini-Air Force 1.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Noem Can’t Explain Why She Hired An 8-Day-Old Company---A no-bid contract Costing Taxpayers $143 Million---for Ad Campaign



    The 8-day-old company was being run by the husband of her Spokesperson, [​IMG]

    Former DHS Spox Rips GOP Senator for Accusing Her Husband of ‘Corruption’







    Trump Floats Firing Kristi Noem in Fuming Call With GOP Allies After Bruising Hearings: Report


    The conversations reportedly came after Noem testified before Senate and House Judiciary panels this week, where she faced hostile questioning over the administration’s immigration crackdown and a controversial government-funded advertising campaign.

    Trump was allegedly ANGERED in particular by Noem’s exchange with Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), who pressed her on whether the president had personally approved a $220 million advertising effort that prominently featured the DHS secretary. Kennedy repeatedly questioned whether Trump had personally approved the campaign.

    Ugh, gross. Yuck.

    What's the over/under on this lady ending up working for minimum wage at a dirt-road Dollar General?

    in her testimony to Congress on Wed, 4 Mar 2026,

    in 18 Jun 2025, Noem made this announcement.

    DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is requiring her office to review and sign off on all contracts and awards over $100K

    “All proposals for my consideration must include all relevant details, including any mission impact, dollar values, description of the supplies or services, any timeliness issues and a description of the proposed action,”
    Noem wrote in the memo obtained by Federal News Network.


    “Requests for approval of obligations above the $100,000 threshold must be submitted via memo through
    the Executive Secretary process. As with any request for secretarial approval, please allow a minimum of
    five days for front office review.”

    I dont know enough details to say if the purchase was or wasn't appropriate. The left is hypocritical, of course, in that they complain about this while simultaneously demanding open borders, unlimited immigration, and unlimited taxpayer welfare for the innumerable MILLIONS of foreigners who come. The cost is hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars to the American people and none of you give a f*ck about that.

    From the article: "“We are deeply concerned about your...responsibility as a steward of taxpayer dollars.”

    What a disingenuous, hypocritical, remark.
