DHS:  A Nation Insecure


There is an assumption that a thorough field investigation also quietly vetted Bryon Noem prior to Kristi Noem receiving her appointment to head the Department of Homeland Security.  A spouse actively participating in a porn cross-dressing fetish site presents unique vulnerabilities and opportunities for blackmail.

And then we have the convoluted story of Katie Zacharia.  Corey Lewandowski has been problematic for years.  But then again, perhaps he is a polished and proficient political blackmailer - hence his own ability to bounce back from all personal scandals.

But Kristi Noem?  She needs to go home  and she needs to stay home.  How can she present the best interests of our Republic when the individuals seated across from her are scrolling through their phones looking at the images her husband has downloaded to a fetish porn site?  This is beyond a distraction.  It is a damn embarrasment.

On small scale, we should tire of the "Bold and the Beautiful" look which seems the primary prerequisite for  receiving a job offer, whether it be heading up DHS, or as an official spokesperson.  Charisma and MAGA beauty fakery seem to rule the day.  In a not too distant past, our best and brightest journalists dominated the major regional, national and international markets.  They made it to the top of the summit due to their skill and professional expertise.

Barbara Walters was intelligent, poised, and well-groomed.  She was certainly not beautiful.  But she was a consummate professional.  Correspondent Dan Rather was well-known in Texas prior to making it to a national desk.  His one big slip-up was a report on George W Bush which caused him to lose the CBS evening news anchor desk in 2005; and it was followed with his departure from CBS in 2006.  The journalism was shoddy for that particular documentary.  But I am still a bit saddened that such a long and storied career came to such an abrupt end. 

But on larger scale - how secure are our secrets and how much of our sensitive information has made it to the dark web because of pillow talk between spouses and their side-hustle lovers?  How much have we lost because of a patronage system which values loyalty over national security?

If Bryon Noem was actively involved in porn fetishes prior to Mrs. Noem's appointment at DHS, this is a failure of the F.B.I. to properly vet the close relatives of a candidate competing  for such a sensitive position.

It is hoped that Kristi Noem retains the best and most cunning of divorce lawyers.  But it would also be beneficial that she no longer have a role in leading or constructing U.S. policy endeavors.  Those Double G breasts of her husband could obscure the view of Mount Rushmore.  And no - we do not need President Trump to join Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt on the wall of remembrance.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
