With great luninaries such as RFK and Pete Hegseth in the politburo, it’s easy to overlook the contributions that others make to the government of the USA. Let’s take a quick look at Kristi Noem. If you can’t place her, she’s the psychopath who shot her dog rather than take the trouble to train it.
Her day job is supposedly SoS for Homeland Security. In actual fact, she lives in a make-believe world where she can wear fancy dress and be whoever she wants for a day. A cowgirl one day, a firefighter the next. Maybe pretending to be a coastguard or – probably her favourite – an ICE agent. These excursions break up the otherwise monotonous racism of her official duties.
He latest project is to team up with a TV producer to pitch a new reality TV series. The idea is to have a group of immigrants competing against each other for the prize of US citizenship. Not just that, there will be other exciting all-USAian bonuses to the winner, such as airmiles or a lifetime’s supply of gasoline.
It’s hard to see why nobody has tried this before, aside from it being illegal, corrupt, and below basic human decency. Times have changed. With most of the administration being TV hosts by profession, including her boss, they won’t be short of experience.
It’ll be a hit. I think it will be a perfect legacy for this administration.
