Huh.  It looks like FoxNews is using the most unflattering pictures they can find of her.

Kristi Noem ousted from Homeland Security post amid recent turmoil
Trump reportedly furious with Noem's performance in congressional hearings this week over controversial ad contract
By Charles Creitz Fox News
Published March 5, 2026 1:44pm EST | Updated March 5, 2026 1:45pm EST

Kristi Noem, the former South Dakota congresswoman and governor who has led President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security thus far in his second term, was ousted from her position on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump announced his he will nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace her on Truth Social.

Noem, 54, will likely be at least temporarily replaced by Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar, a Navy veteran and former mayor of Los Alamitos, California, in the line of succession for the agency.

Noem’s tenure marked a distinct reversal of the open-border policies permitted by predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas during the Biden administration, and DHS has notched record drug interdictions totaling more than half a million pounds of illegal drugs in her first year.

Her management of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda has also led to more than 2 million reported self-deportations in 2025 and about 670,000 removals of illegal immigrants, a figure supporters have hailed as the most successful immigration enforcement operation in history.

The "New Boss" at DHS effective 3/31

And I agree it's a "promotion" if this is a added layer of American Security

But I won't miss the Noem horseback commercials... /s  (It's being reported that she spent $200M for a DHS advertising campaign which, while under oath, said that Pres. Trump authorized the expense).

...slow motion horse back riding...long flowing hair extensions  bouncing on her back.....WHERE WAS I HERE???   

[libertybele]

She will be "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere".  Sounds like a huge task. I've always liked her. She's been targeted by the leftists, so I think for the most part she's done a good job.

Now .... if se can just get Blondie reassigned or fired, we'd be all set.  Replace her with Cruz, though TX truly needs him right now.

I am hoping DJT will talk Clarence Thomas into retiring before long, and nominate  Cruz for SCOTUS. Then the left can deal with him unabated for the next 30 years.,

Never a fan but I will give her credit for not taking any shit from the Dem Senators and Congressmen/women

[Lando Lincoln]

Noem is just too concerned about her image.

[libertybele]

I'm not so confident that pushing out Noem (though she angered Trump for telling the truth it seems) and replacing her with Mullin is a good thing.

NEW: Sen. Kennedy (R-LA), who had contentious back and forth w/ Noem at hearing this week, says Trump was “mad as a murder hornet” that Noem claimed he approved $200 million ads contract.

Kennedy says he was offended by the contract amount, he called the WH and told them he planned to press her on it at the hearing and WH didn’t oppose.

No.  Fire Blondie and replace her with Cruz.  He'll drain the swamp.

[catfish1957]

Special election to replace Mullin?

h

Yep, callled within 30 days.   And looking at the other complications in their statute we might be Down 1 for several months.

Democrats can’t stand in the way of the DHS protecting the nation. Should a sleeper cell go off, and lives lost. They will be forever blamed, no matter who they try to lay the blame off on.
Noem is what Schumer will label a victory to the plebe, and open the government.
Art of the Deal.

As a reminder, for those who might remember........ Trump and Schumer came across as best buds on his Apprentice TV show.  Just shows how much of the kabuki is  performatory vs. substance,.

"Fired" may not be so accurate as "promoted".

It's not a promotion at all but just another "save face" BS do-nothing job with a big government paycheck. Just like when Trump exiled his IRS commissioner Billy Long off to  Iceland.  Has anybody seen or heard from him since?

Trump Is Removing I.R.S. Chief 2 Months After He Was Confirmed

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/us/politics/trump-billy-long-irs-commissioner.html

With that said, Noem dug her own grave with her constant self-promotion, her affair with Lewandowski, the "blanket episode" last week on her plane, and ticking off a bunch of Republican Senators this week during her testimony.  She had to go BUT Trump is making another strategic political mistake in naming Mullin as her replacement because now there will have to be another special election in Oklahoma to replace him.  That could be risky right now.

Special Election?  I thought Senate vacancies are filled by appointment by Governors....

According to source familiar:
POTUS spoke w/ Noem just before the Truth went out
LEWANDOWSKI IS EXPECTED TO LEAVE WITH HER

[Timber Rattler]

Special Election?  I thought Senate vacancies are filled by appointment by Governors....

Nope, in Oklahoma, it's just on an interim basis:

https://ballotpedia.org/Filling_vacancies_in_the_U.S._Senate

The special election must be announced within 30 days after the vacancy occurs. Within 10 days of this announcement, a three-day filing period must occur. Within 20 days of the close of the candidate filing period, a special primary must take place. A primary runoff, if required, must take place within 20 days of the special primary. The special general election must take place within 20 days of the special primary runoff. If the vacancy occurs during an even-numbered year, it must be filled at the regular primary and general elections.

[Timber Rattler]

LEWANDOWSKI IS EXPECTED TO LEAVE WITH HER

Well, of course, he will.

[catfish1957]

Nope, in Oklahoma, it's just on an interim basis:

https://ballotpedia.org/Filling_vacancies_in_the_U.S._Senate

Which with guesstimation is an almost minimum (practical) 120 days.  Hope he doesn't need that vote, especially recently with Rogue Rand Paul.

[catfish1957]

Well, of course, he will.

Maybe they can double date with Boebert and go see a movie.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

As a kid from Westville, it has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve the people of Oklahoma for the past thirteen years in both the House and Senate.

I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day.

President Trump ran on restoring law and order, and he quickly delivered the most secure U.S. border in American history. I look forward to supporting @POTUS’ mission to safeguard the American people and defend the homeland.

[mystery-ak]

Well this has replaced the War in Iran as the top story...

Watch the dims fillibuster this vote for replacement.  They hate this country that much,.

[libertybele]

For now.  Once Mullin is in, this story will quickly dwindle and I doubt we will hear much about Noem anymore.  She's been conveniently put out to pasture (perhaps for her own good).
