https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2025/10/08/leadership-101-our-dhs-barbie-n3807629Those of you who have been with me here at HotAir for the past couple of years know I have not been a Governor Kristi Noem fan.
I can point to a couple of posts where I ripped her up royally, along with her neighboring governor, Doug Burgum.
I also try to give honest credit where it is due, and with both of these individuals in the administration now - Burgum as Secretary of the Interior and Nome heading up Homeland Security - I've been pleasantly surprised.
Burgum, I've sent kudos out to both him and his department, time and again, for their actions on reining in the climate cult scams hurriedly put in place by a panicked Biden administration's evil minions when they realized there just might not be a second act coming. Interior's been trying to stanch the bleeding and reverse the streams of four years of unfettered Green madness financed and enabled by the federal government.
Noem has let Tom Homan roll, first and foremost.
That's management 101 - get out of the way of a top performer who is doing what you hired him to do.
(snip)
Noem and Homan have been leading from the front. The Pritzkers of the world buy their way to the head of the line, and only if it's worth it to them.
I have no idea if the administrative side of DHS looks like the markdown table at Kmart after a holiday - and I don't care. She has reams of bureaucrats to handle that.
I cannot ever recall a Homeland Security Secretary so badass, so personally and physically invested in her officers and their safety on the job, and so willing to tear up anyone who's not with the program.
And I have to say, if they think calling her DHS Barbie for not looking like Hillary Clinton doing it is some sort of hit on Noem?
They're going to be in the wilderness forever, and good riddance to them.
EXCERPT
Good article at Hot Air today...I've been hard on Noem for several reasons BUT she is on the ground, up front, and kicking butt this week in those lib cities where ICE is under attack. Good for her!
