TSA
Noem told Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) that she’s shocked hardly anyone asked about the TSA. From Fox News:
Noem was quizzed by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
He asked her if she would help “identify what are the challenges that we still face with the screening process and to be able to correct those for the security of all Americans?”
“I was surprised TSA didn’t come up more today, but that is an area of need of reform as well. And I look forward to working with you there,” she said.
Trump Assassination Attempts
Noem promises to open the books regarding the attempts on Trump’s life.
🚨 SENATOR TOM COTTON: Will you pledge to open the books on the as*assination attempts against Trump? So we can ensure this never happens again?

Sen. Peters (D-MI) starts off the hearing with pure idiocy, telling Americans that the immigration system needs to be simplified and streamlined. Over the last 4-years, Joe Biden has allowed more people to walk across our southern border than entered Ellis Island throughout its lifetime. Peters represents a state where an embarrassing 39.3% of 3rd-graders read at grade level. That’s DOWN 4-points from where it was before the pandemic.

His solution to the abject failure of his state to educate American children is to import even more illiterate, unskilled foreigners into this country. No thanks. Make American American Again.
I would add that in Peter’s former congressional district which includes Detroit, the reading proficiency for 3rd/4th-graders is only 11%, one in ten is reading at grade-level. 50% of Detroit Public School graduates are functionally illiterate. But, he’s focused like a laser on ‘streamlining immigration.’
Only 50%? Pfft. Baltimore says “Hold my beer.”
It should be streamlined and simplified. “No, you can’t come here!” is pretty simple and streamlined. Then you add a small bit of complexity for the people who really insist – you vet them and let in a small number (compared to what we’ve had crossing our borders unvetted in the last couple of decades) each year.
Nut, no, that’s not what Peters is aiming for.
* But, no,…
The downward spiral of Minnesota under the Democrats has been extensively covered over at Powerline. In fact, right now the Democrats in the House are staging an insurrection to try and prevent the government from opening and doing it’s job.
Yes, but Peters is not from MN.
Please tell me she brought her shotgun to the meeting!
No guns in there. But she merely needs to look at a dumb Democrat the way she looked at that dog.
“C’mon Barky, we need to take a visit behind the shed .”
Blumenthal went on about domestic terrorism and “we all want a secure border” talk.
Where was Mr. Stolen Honor for the past four years?
Listening to every shameless, disgusting, and vile Democrat Senator speak leaves no doubt that these supposedly advise and consent hearings aren’t a confirmation process at all. They are a one-sided confrontation process meant to derail Trump’s nominees.
What a blank-eyed, vapid, aging bimbo.
Really? Did someone pee in your Wheaties this morning?
It was probably the dog. Take him to the gravel pit.
But enough about you. What did you think of Noem?
Such jokes can be funny when employing a forced ambiguity of personal pronouns, but not when a crude, syntactical disaster. Keep your day job.
Thanks, but I’m retired.
Given your verbal diarrhea, I’d suggest NOT quitting YOUR day job.
The story clearly said that Elizabeth Warren was not a member of the committee. Please read more carefully in the future. Thank you!
Right? I thought, “surely, the Shrilldebeast wasn’t there.”
It should be streamlined?
The only way they could come here any faster is to build a bullet train!
Oh, Good Lord… don’t give them any ideas!!!
