Kristi Noem Is Out. Take The Win. No, the guy replacing her is not better.

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary. So who's up to replace her? Senator Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA Fighter that's threatened to beat up people during Senate hearings.

Never forget: ICE asked a 5-year-old to knock on a door to flush people out.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump thinks Putin is his best bud, since Epstein is gone. But to Putin, the Convicted Felon is just a useful idiot.

Emphasis on idiot.
