Noem to lead DHS & Thune in as Senate majority leader

Fierce supporters of President Donald Trump find themselves with conflicting emotions. Fresh off the high of Trump winning back the Presidency and then the huge wins for conservatives within our very own state house of representatives and senate where we swept leadership positions, we find ourselves now in a room with all the fresh air sucked out.

Fresh off a fierce battle here in the state regarding private property rights and Gov Noem’s involvement with the mess that was SB201 turned referred law 21, MAGA is scratching their heads wondering why President Trump selected her for a position she doesn’t seem qualified (or worthy…she passed a bill to infringe on constitutional rights) to take. It’s not the only heartburn South Dakotan’s have with the self proclaimed “America’s Governor.”

An article release by The Federalist highlights some other areas of her reign that have frustrated conservative republicans in this state.

Multiple outlets say, based largely on claims from CNN via anonymous sources, that President-elect Donald Trump intends to nominate South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his Homeland Security secretary. While Noem is certainly skilled at promoting herself, she doesn’t have the courage required for this role.

Numerous top aides fled Noem’s office after she lied to voters about sabotaging policies key to Trump’s win — policies acknowledging that men and women are different. Requiring men to stay out of women’s sports and sanctioning those who give sex shows to kids should have been easy for her to back as the governor of a deep-red non-border state.

But, as The Federalist reported, Noem chose to side against her own voters on behalf of some of her state’s biggest lobbyists in the corrupt health-industrial complex. That’s the same complex that Trump has promised he’s going to take down at the federal level with Robert F. Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” team.

At the time, Noem’s “top advisor” had lobbying clients that included a state hospital system that profited from amputating the healthy genitals of minors. And when she was called out on this by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Noem’s defense was that she’s scared to engage in lawsuits on behalf of Americans’ obvious best interests.

It should go without saying that anyone who is scared of lawsuits should not be part of the Trump administration, especially anyone involved in combatting illegal immigration.

“If confirmed, Noem would oversee an agency with a wide-ranging mission,” the Wall Street Journal notes. “The department is responsible for natural disasters, cybersecurity and transportation security, in addition to its central role in immigration enforcement.”

She hasn’t been able to stand for much of anything as governor, which puts in doubt her ability to take a hard line at DHS. Indeed, directly pertinent to the DHS job, Noem was one of the first governors to accept poorly vetted foreigners that are often falsely labeled “refugees.”

It’s true: Homeland Security is a thankless job. Corporate media will drag any Homeland secretary over the coals. But Noem doesn’t have the constitution to respond like Trump’s border czar Tom Homan and tell corporate media they can go to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks. Instead, when she’s rightly asked about serious leadership failures, she hits her fainting couch, lies to cover her tracks, and whines about “cancel culture.”

Noem is a coward who back-stabs her own party. She went on a sabotage spree against members of her own party who showed she was telling voters she was against trans insanity while working behind the scenes to keep it going.

Noem’s track record is not the behavior of a leader serious enough to helm an agency that has turned the federal antiterrorism apparatus on normal Americans, labeling stances such as support for life from conception and responsibly owning guns as signs of “domestic extremism.” Someone who shoots the messengers exposing her double-dealing is exactly the wrong person to put in charge of a counterterrorism apparatus already targeting Americans over their constitutionally protected speech.

Trump previously put a bobblehead at Homeland Security, and it resulted in the Anonymous book and the moronic Miles Taylor. Cabinet jobs are too important for weak women who are in politics because they look like a model. People like that should leave politics to those with the courage to tell the truth and act on its behalf.

Following the announcement about Noem, we now learned that Never Trumper, John Thune was selected as Senate Majority Leader. An article posted by the Gateway pundit sums it all up.
