OAN: South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been confirmed by the Senate as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
On Saturday, Noem (R-S.D.) was confirmed by the Senate following a 59-34 vote with all Republicans present voting yes and seven Democrats also voting yes.
Noem will take over the department at a time when the new administration’s primary priorities are border security and combating illegal immigration. Deploying the troops, resuming wall building, and terminating parole programs from the Biden administration are just a few of the measures the administration has taken to secure the border.
In the meantime, in keeping with Trump’s pledge of a “historic” operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun conducting deportation operations around the nation. more here
Good! More and faster confirmations, please!
I’m looking forward to a positive vote on Tulsi Gabbard as DNI. And then what I’d REALLY REALLY like to see is for her to say, “I’ve changed my mind about Section 702. It’s an unconstitutional abomination, must be eliminated immediately, and past abusers indicted, arrested, jailed, and tried.”
One swampy, one semi-swampy, and Hegseth. Patel and Gabbard will be the next really important ones.
This appointment of Kristi Noem is Trump’s way of preventing the democrats from having a dog in the fight….
I am sure she will follow Trump’s direction, but it just seems odd that a governor, whose main claim to fame was opposing covid lockdowns (and who welched on a promise to protect girls in sports) is head of DHS. Hegseth’s background is ideal for his role, Rubio can certainly handle matters of State, most of the other nominees have backgrounds that clearly relate to the role. What has Noem done to fit this role?
@willys–
I hope she’ll hound them in all the right ways.
Let’s hope she can slam closed bolt, chain and padlock all the doors the Leftists opened up.
THE VICTORY MARGIN IS A GREAT SIGN
1 DON’T FUCK WITH TRUMP
2 SOME DEMS ARE WAKING UP, HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHIT
@LCD — DHS is made up of a bunch of divisions whose chiefs are the ones who need the area expertise. Noem’s job will be to provide general direction between demands for her to testify on Capitol Hill. Her experience being chief exec of a state govt, by nature lots of separate depts, translates somewhat into running a chopped up org such as DHS. She may well screw things up but that’s not a reasonable assumption, just a possibility.
Betcha they have fireworks at Mount Rushmore again this year!!
Traitor Fukkin Joe cancelled them like the America-hating, filthy dumb-shit that he is!
@willys @ann
Y’all are…..too dawg gone funny…..!!!!!
Praying she does a good job but in any case, it is a pleasant reward to look at a lovely lady instead of an old hag like Pelosi. God Speed Kristi
^^^^^
Or fucking butt ugly Mayorkas. That fucker hit every branch on the way down,
hopefully she runs this org better than she trains her dogs that she felt necessary to shoot instead of giving em up to a no kill shelter or a normal person that would have taken the pup. and stop with all the facial injections, fuckin broad can barely move a muscle on her face
