Bonus: Noem's boyfriend, sex pest, and shadow DHS secretary Corey Lewandowski also works closely with the firm.
They were paying themselves millions of taxpayer dollars to boost Noem's public image while they lied about immigrants and slandered the people they gunned down in the street.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

Seven aircraft in total are being repainted, not for need, but for vanity. The colors have been blue and white since Kennedy, but trump needs to spend more of our taxpayer $$$. One is the Qatari plane that trump plans to take with him if he ever leaves office. We can't afford healthcare, though.

ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

The only POTUS worse than 45 is now, officially, 47.
The polling is THAT bad now.
That's why they want to rig the elections. They know it's gonna be a bloodbath on top of a massacre on top of a political genocide.
They're scared. We need to keep the pressure I n them & apply it even harder.

JUST IN: Les Wexner submitted a written statement to House Oversight ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein.
In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.
