Then she leaves the meeting early. I am assuming to change her grandson’s diaper who’s crying was more annoying then the Code Pink protesters at the hearing. And who brings a baby to a congressional hearing? Oh, that’s right, the world’s dumbest person.
She gets hammered and had no place to run, that is why I am assuming she left early, probably to draw up her resignation letter. At least 4 of the reps asked for her resignation during the hearing, and 1 rep threatened to start impeachment hearings on her next week and VOWED to punish her for violating the law in her position as DHS director. I think Kristi dropped a load in her bedazzled panties after that statement and walked out shortly after.
I think she will resign before Trump or Congress can come after her. She isn’t going to stick around to be indicted on Federal Charges, even though she still can be AFTER she resigns.
I warned South Dakotans about her when she first ran for the state house, coining her the ‘Sarah Palin of SD’ and it seems Noem’s nickname has lived up to it. How is Palin these days? LOL. Of course if she does resign it will have little to do with her corrupt racist policies and that she is probably going to try to primary Marion M. Rounds in the Senate. But who knows? Maybe she will become an dental implant spokesperson.
UPDATE: Speaking of the homeless, last night a DTSF business owner who has been frustrated with the city’s response to homelessness spoke at the council meeting (FF: 34:10). She explained to the council she did a FOIA request with the city and her findings were astonishing. Basically the city has spent millions over the past few years putting transients in this cycle of citations without providing assistance. If we simply housed these folks with housing first initiatives we could actually save taxpayers money while addressing the issue and providing housing.
Her biggest suggestion? Have a coalition of services, in other words TALK TO EACH OTHER and coordinate those services thru different non-profits, the city administration and the Police Department. I have often said managing this issue isn’t rocket science, it just takes a conversation, transparency and the will to spend the money (or should I say ‘re-direct’ the money). I have even suggested such housing programs could be sponsored by local business donations. As far as I am concerned, it has gotten so bad, anything at this point is improvement.

A few weeks back the homeless coordinator for the city was at a public meeting. She was asked how the new ordinance is working out. After a brief pause she admitted that they haven’t implemented it yet because they are working out logistics. But you could tell from her nervousness she was probably making up an excuse.
What I found baffling about her answer is that when they pressured the city councilors to pass this there was a sense of ‘urgency’. So did that urgency go away? Not at all. I rode to all 4 corners of the city on Sunday, and while there is more transients in the downtown area, I saw groups of them (6 or more) wandering the sidewalks, bike trail, etc. all over town. I counted at least 10 different groups and many individuals.
If the city has realized this wasn’t the best solution, then why not rescind the ordinance?
So today, Jordan Deffenbaugh was on a city government rant, and there was a sentence in his rant that caught my attention;
Repeal the encampment ordinance – a failed policy making vulnerable residents surveillance targets.
Jordan was talking about the Feds accessing out extensive camera system in Sioux Falls to catch homeless immigrants and his concern.
Was this ordinance sponsored by the Police Department and the Mayor’s office just a pass thru with pressure from the Governor, AG and Feds?
It just seems odd to me this ordinance was needed just around the time of Prairie Thunder then never implemented after ICE was finished harassing us. So now we have the White House influencing our local laws and policies. Nice 🙁
He was recently frisked aggressively when his family flew to the Bahamas for vacation on Jan 2, just days after the so-called “underwear bomber†attempted to ignite explosives on a flight from Amsterdam to Michigan.
“Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he’s a criminal,†Mikey’s mother told the newspaper. “A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they don’t catch him. But my 8-year-old can’t walk through security without being frisked.â€
With a unique name like Michael Hicks, it’s a pretty safe bet that the TSA has the right guy. In fact, there are only 1,600 other people named Michael Hicks in this country – including young Mikey’s father, according to a national directory. Pretty cut and dried if you ask me.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sure glad we have psychics working for our government who are able to see into the future and know this kid will grow up to be the next Bin Laden. It just gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. Kind of like a good pat-down.
Every few weeks for nearly four years, the Secret Service screened the IDs of employees for a Maryland cleaning company before they entered the house of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the nation’s top immigration official.
The company’s owner says the workers sailed through the checks — although some of them turned out to be illegal immigrants.
