There is zero doubt, none, that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is positioning herself on the short list for President Trump’s Vice-President or a very senior level role in the next Trump administration. Noem is currently campaigning in Iowa as a surrogate for Donald Trump. In this CBS interview with Major Garrett, Governor Noem explains why she supports Donald Trump and gives specific reasons why Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley will not win in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.

Ok, Sundance, I'll keep Noem in mind. While I don't have any bones to pick with her, I see that the Koch brothers have funneled lots of campaign cash her way to help elect her as Gov. in SD. And they aren't exactly on board with the Trump train. I, too, will consider Noem with some caution.

Hold on... What happened to the allegations of her having an affair with Corey Lewandowski? Was that just rumor that has since been dealt with?

Hmmm. She folded when it counted on the 'tranny issue' if I remember correctly. And I'm not talking about car repairs.

We used to have a dog that had pretty good instincts when it came to judging humans. She was friendly and welcoming for the most part. But, her hackles were raised toward an individual every once in a while, for no overtly apparent reason. That’s the way I feel about Kristi Noem. Call it instinct, intuition, or whatever. There are a number of associations & things that she has reportedly said & done over the years that combine to cause my caution senses to kick into overdrive & question her.

If the President, I mean the real President, not the one that was selected by the Democrats, needs a woman on his ticket I prefer Kari Lake. I believe Kari Lake would make a good replacement if "The Donald" failed to finish his term. But I could live with Kristi Noem. Either is so far above the cackler we have now that either could do the job.

The only person offering a real alternative to the corruption and tyranny coming out of Washington is Trump and that's why we should support him. Sadly, Washington holds the upper hand and I doubt anyone has a real solution to what goes on in Washington.

Pardon second post. Wasn't it South Dakota that stayed open during the entire pandemic regardless of criticism? If Trump choses Noem for VP, I'm OK with it. Not sure it matters. The corruption in Washington has a way of overpowering anyone that stands against it.

The most important pick in Trump next administration is a tough on crime, no nonsense Atty General. Trump needs someone he can trust with 'indict-itis' who will actively go after the treasonous DC cabal. Nothing is more important than cleaning out the govt riff raff. The 1st order of business is to go after the crooked congressional leadership to quell any attempts at another phony impeachment. The fear of God needs to reign down on these people. The CIA is a big problem too. Very few in DC know what the hell goes on in that star chamber. I doubt the interest of the CIA are the same as the USA.

When the FBI arrested billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein on July 6, 2019, at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, disgusting revelations of his sex trafficking crimes surfaced. So did his mysterious, monied world — populated by A-listers, politicians, and captains of industry. Among the bizarre revelations was an oil painting hanging prominently in his Upper East Side townhouse. Dubbed “Parsing Bill,” the colorful work by Australian artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid shows former President Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels while lounging in the Oval Office.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, have also been named, but they have not been accused of any wrongdoing. Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing her, sought in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, all of her communications with former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Clintons were part of a list of “thirteen specific witnesses” with whom Ms. Giuffre’s attorneys sought their communications.

In his latest episode, Tucker Carlson and Bret Weinstein discuss the long-term agenda of the World Health Organization (WHO). Essentially, the WHO agenda ties into the larger “Western” control operation which encompasses finance and banking control (Central Bank Digital Currency) to connect with the WHO control agenda. As Weinstein talks about travel and commerce being controlled by the WHO, under the auspices of “global health initiatives” or “public health emergency,” there is an element being built in parallel which connects how citizens will be permitted to spend money.

Black professor once targeted by Claudine
Gay had one word for her fall from grace: ‘Karma’

In a striking paradox, pro-meritocracy conservatives and pro-DEI Democrats alike can revel in the schadenfreude of Claudine Gay’s fall from grace—because her antics are just that ridiculous. In a since-deleted post to X, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard law professor, high-profile criminal defense attorney, and former college dean said Gay’s disgraced resignation was… “Karma.” You might recall the name from headlines a few years back—Sullivan once served as a faculty dean for Harvard’s Winthrop House, a position from which he was ousted after he agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein, in large part, due to Gay’s influence. Here’s this, from political pundit Wesley Yang:

Iraqi officials on Thursday accused the U.S. of escalating tensions in Iraq after a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad killed the militia leader of an Iranian-backed group. Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a “strong condemnation” of what it called a “blatant attack” on an Iraqi military headquarters. “The attack on a security formation linked to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and subject to the authority of the state is a dangerous escalation,” the statement reads, “and we affirm that Iraq reserves its right to take a firm stance and all measures that deter anyone who tries to harm its territory and its security forces.”

Cops who used deadly force to assault non-violent demonstrators, “passive resistors,” on January 6, 2021, escalating the protest into a riot, broke the law in clear violation of the Metropolitan Police Department’s standard operating procedures. Police indiscriminately fired sting balls and rubber bullets into the massive crowd, often aimed at their heads, scores of protesters were doused in the face with CS gas and were injured by shrapnel flying from the flash grenades. In countless instances uncovered in the CCTV and police body cam footage that Congress has yet to release, police are seen ruthlessly beating protesters with their nightsticks.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday appealed a ruling by Maine’s Democratic secretary of state barring him from the ballot over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was expected to also ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on his eligibility to return to the presidency in a related Colorado case. The Republican candidate appealed the Maine decision by Shenna Bellows, who became the first secretary of state in history to bar someone from running for the presidency under the rarely used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That provision prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.

Harvard University’s longtime provost will take over as interim president after Claudine Gay resigned Tuesday following weeks of backlash over her disastrous House testimony about on-campus antisemitism — and numerous accusations of plagiarism in her academic work. The Harvard Corporation confirmed that physician and economist Alan Garber will temporarily replace Gay while the school searches for a new leader. The organization said the search for a new leader will begin “in due course” and “will include broad engagement and consultation with the Harvard community in the time ahead.”

Check out this story, reported by the New York Post yesterday: Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal prosecutors said Friday.

A veteran pastor at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church was rejected in her bid to succeed longtime leader Rev. Calvin O. Butts III because the famed house of worship would “never hire a woman” for the job, she claims in a lawsuit. Eboni Marshall Turman insisted she was the “strongest applicant” to replace Butts, who died of cancer in 2022 at age 73. (snip) Turman claims Grant grilled her “on topics that her male co-applicants were not asked,” and that Grant and another committee member said Abyssinian would have a female pastor “over [their] dead body,” according to the legal filing.

CNN political commentator Paul Begala said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he hoped the Supreme Court would let former President Donald Trump on all the state ballots. The Supreme Court announced it would hear arguments on whether Trump’s name can appear on primary-election ballots in Maine and Colorado, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Begala said, “I think in his heart of hearts, I hate to read Joe Biden’s heart, but he wants Trump on the ballot. He feels like I beat him once. I’ll beat him again. Um, but more than that, I think Scott is right. As a political matter, a politician. Trump is a political problem.

Washington— Members of far-right extremist groups. Former police officers. An Olympic gold medalist swimmer. And active duty U.S. Marines. They are among the hundreds of people who have been convicted in the massive prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot in the three years since the stunned nation watched the U.S. Capitol attack unfold on live TV. Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over.

Is there any hope left for the U.S.S. Biden? It's not just that his polling numbers are reaching the point of no return. Now his campaign staff are fleeing -- "in droves." According to Newsweek: A group of staffers working on President Joe Biden's reelection campaign warned the president that his volunteers are quitting "in droves" over his handling of Israel's military response in the Gaza Strip. Biden has faced immense pressure from members of his own party over the United States' policies in light of the surprise Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted in roughly 240 hostages, including some Americans.

Members of Congress and Pentagon leaders were unaware for days that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been hospitalized since Monday, U.S. officials said Saturday, as questions swirled about his condition and the secrecy surrounding it. And it remained unclear when the White House and other key U.S. officials were told about his stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The Pentagon’s failure to disclose Austin’s hospitalization for days reflects a stunning lack of transparency about his illness, how serious it was and when he may be released. Such secrecy,

Is The Washington Post in full-scale collapse? A recent look at the numbers provides a fairly convincing answer to that question. According to the report, not only is the Post losing $100 million a year, but it lost over half of its online engagement by the end of 2023. The signs were already there by mid-year, and the worst has come to pass. Having a billionaire sugar daddy has helped mask some of the issues plaguing the Post, but the tide can only be held back so long. To lose over 50 percent of its online viewership is catastrophic for an outlet with such high overhead
