Kristi Noem is drunk on power. Indict.
Noem decided not to turn deportation flights around after judge’s order, DOJ says
The flights, this past March, have become a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s mass deportation strategy, and his administration’s pattern of apparently defying court orders.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It seems increasingly clear that the plan is to shut down as many hospital departments as possible, send patients home and roll out new privately run hubs with less NHS oversight than ever. While oceans of public money goes to private banks and private healthcare.

Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.

Political 'journalists' no longer report on the facts and truth.
They share gossip and speculation.
And when the facts are know they move on to the next round of speculation and gossip.
I can guarantee you before the end of today, many in the media will be speculating about the next Budget!

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
