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).

Still, it's 3 weeks of unflattering drama.  Poor thing qualifies for 'suicide watch'....having to testify about her sexual affair with Corey Lewandowski...WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS SEATED IN THE ROOM.

The price of trying to become a national star!

Not everyone decides to go to college to get stupid.

A bachelor's degree won't make someone a good Senator, or a good anything.

It's a paper credential that gets your foot in the door.

Here is the funny thing.  Some of the absolute stupidist members of congress have so-called college degrees.

Oh and the comments on that X thread from the libtards are crazy.

Shield of the Americas? Western Hemisphere security?

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

Let me translate.

Noem’s new gig is some shit Trump came up with to help her save some measure of face in public. The job description is “Go sit over there and STFU for the next couple of years, nobody wants to hear from you right now.”

“… and do go bleep anymore people that you ain’t married to.”

She’s gone.

The "New Boss" at DHS effective 3/31

The only thing he's got going for him is a close relationship with Trump.  NO security experience, zero, nada, zilch.  Plus the "new boss" sounds like a real jackarse ---
 

Trump said Mullin has done a "tremendous job" in Congress and cited his resume as a former undefeated MMA fighter.

"As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN," Trump said.

[...]

When asked if he was headed to the White House to meet with Trump, he said he wasn’t sure.  "I think I need to talk to my wife first," Mullin said.

Mullin currently does not serve on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the panel that will be responsible for confirming him. But, he does have a strong relationship with Trump.

I think that's a good assessment of what just happened.  I think she would have been gone some time ago if the Democrats had not declared war on her, because of the affair she had going that everybody knew about.  Being stupid should get one sacked!

LEWANDOWSKI IS EXPECTED TO LEAVE WITH HER

If this is anything like Lewandowski's previous departures, he'll go around the revolving door and back in again in some other role, which is how he ended up associated with Noem in the first place.

He was the Lyin' Ted scorched-earth, pay-the-Enquirer guy (which led to Trump's unenforced felony convictions), after all.

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.

If that jerk is for it, I'm against it.

Noem did a very good job.  She was certainly salvageable and should have been--- if only Trump wasn't worn out by all his global misadventures.

I don't think Noem deserved this.

I don't think Noem deserved this.

Perhaps but she wasn't the one running DHS.  Her toxic, bullying paramour Lewandowski was the boss, for all intents and purposes.  And that WAS her fault.

BTW...

Noem’s answer on ‘sexual relations’ with Lewandowski was ‘final straw’ for Trump, sources say

https://nypost.com/2026/03/05/us-news/noems-answer-on-sexual-relations-with-lewandowski-was-final-straw-for-trump-sources-say/

WASHINGTON — The “final straw” prompting President Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was her stunning non-answer at a House hearing Wednesday about whether she had “sexual relations” with top aide Corey Lewandowski, sources inside and close to the White House told The Post.

Trump had been nearing a boiling point in his frustration with Noem and already was considering ousting her after she claimed to senators Tuesday that he approved $220 million in ads starring herself — but her inability to answer the question sealed her fate.

“The question about the affair at the hearing was actually the final straw. It was f—ing brutal,” one source said of Noem’s reply, which was widely seen as an admission that she was sleeping with her subordinate. Her husband of 34 years Bryon Noem had joined her at the hearing.

“It kept mounting up,” said another source, who agreed that it was the final straw.

A third source said, “There was just no going back with the two hearings. It all became about her and him.”

Lewandowski himself told The Post he wasn’t sure what role the alleged affair played.

“You’re asking me to speculate on things that I have no insight into,” he said when reached by phone.

EXCERPT

This is what the above article is referencing...it was brutal.

Kristi Noem grilled on ‘sexual relations’ with Corey Lewandowski — at House hearing her husband attended

https://nypost.com/2026/03/04/us-news/kristi-noems-husband-joins-her-in-congress-as-questions-swirl-about-relationship-with-corey-lewandowski/

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t deny an affair with top aide Corey Lewandowski when she was asked under oath during dramatic testimony before Congress.

The shocking exchange about her sex life came on Wednesday as Noem sat for questions before the House Judiciary Committee. Her husband, Bryon, joined her in Congress for a second day and sat behind his wife as lawmakers peppered her with questions.

(snip)

Noem, 54, refused to directly answer when asked if she is having sexual relations with Lewandowski, calling the question “garbage.”

EXCERPT

I mean, what is up with her husband?  Do they have some kind of secret separation/open marriage deal between themselves, or is he the ultimate cuckold?

[Timber Rattler]

If this is anything like Lewandowski's previous departures, he'll go around the revolving door and back in again in some other role, which is how he ended up associated with Noem in the first place.

Yep...he was (and is?) Trump's muscle man and enforcer thug.

Woman who accused Corey Lewandowski of assault speaks out: "I don't want this to happen to anyone else"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/corey-lewandowski-accuser-trashelle-odom-stalking-assault/

The political class barely shrugged in August when Corey Lewandowski announced he was back at former President Donald Trump's side. But when Trashelle Odom learned that Lewandowski had joined Trump's 2024 presidential campaign as a senior adviser, it was a gut punch. That's because a little over three years ago, in 2021, Odom, then the wife of a wealthy Republican donor, had reported Lewandowski to the police for allegedly assaulting and stalking her at a Las Vegas charity event. Later, she said his lawyers offered her payment to keep quiet.

Lewandowski, who was Trump's first campaign manager, was charged with misdemeanor battery and reached an agreement with prosecutors to dismiss the charges in exchange for community service, a $1,000 fine, enrollment in an impulse control class and an apology in court to Odom for "any discomfort he may have caused her." Lewandowski was ousted from Trump's orbit, where he'd been running a super PAC supporting the former president. A Trump spokesman vowed at the time that Lewandowski "would no longer be associated with Trump world." 

In response to a request for comment, lawyers for Lewandowski, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, stated, "Lewandowski was not charged with assault or stalking in Clark County, Nevada. In fact, the case against Mr. Lewandowski was dismissed."

(snip)

Lewandowski's aggressive style and penchant for personal peccadilloes made for a turbulent tenure in Trump's orbit. But Trump has stayed loyal to Lewandowksi, bringing him back into his inner circle after he was fired twice, once by the campaign and once by the super PAC Make America Great Again Action.

(snip)

"I just like him," Trump recently told New York magazine. "Corey's a character." Lewandowski faced scrutiny for his treatment of women almost from the start. During the 2016 campaign, CCTV footage showed him grabbing a journalist's arm following a press conference. Images from the video showed she had bruises on her arm. Lewandowski was charged with simple battery, but prosecutors ultimately dropped the charges.

Lewandowski's lawyers said in response to the allegation that the matter "was concluded long ago with Florida authorities electing not to pursue charges after completing their investigation."

In 2017, a woman told police that Lewandowski slapped her behind during a holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. She objected, according to the police report, but Lewandowski ignored her disapproval and did it again.

I don't think Noem deserved this.

She was becoming a liability because of the constant attacks from the leftists and the 'issue' of her and Lewandowski.  Both got the boot. 

She got promoted out of an ongoing 'predicament'.  I've always liked her ever since she managed to host a campaign rally for Trump at Mt Rushmore.  Her speech was excellent and she dealt with all the protestors blocking people who came to hear Trump.

Again, perhaps, but this sunk her too...

Did Kennedy do a pre-planned deliberate hit?  I dunno but she didn't help herself getting crosswise with him, even though he was pretty gentle with her in his takedown.

Then fire Lewandowski and tell Noem, in the clearest terms possible, what is expected of her.   And, move on.

As for the infidelity issue that so troubled Trump, well, I don't even know how to respond to this.   

Maybe Trump should have been held to the same standard he applied to Noem through his own 88 indictments, 34 felony convictions and Stormy Daniels' brutal testimony. 

[Sighlass]

Ahh heck, the dog thing... if you ain't had to shoot a dog you ain't lived much a life. I have shot them when they were dying, I have shot them when they were killing the birds in our fenced in yard. If you have a mean uncontrollable dog that can hurt kids, you need to shoot it (and paying a vet to do the same dang thing is just a waste of money).

Sorry if that offends... (not sorry).

So ... was she supposed to lie?  Notta. No! I see it as she was doing her job...covering for the president by lying would be giving up her integrity and credibility.

Kennedy asked Trump before he asked Noem. He knew the answer.
