President Biden fired nobody in his Cabinet over four years despite its containing multiple fools, knaves, DEI props and boobs. That is signature significance for a poor leader and untrustworthy Presidents. President Trump has fired Kristi Noem.
Good.
Noem’s irresponsible mouthing-off during the I.C.E operations in Minneapolis showed a loose cannon management style that the Administration could ill-afford as the face of its crack-down on illegal immigration. True, that Noem was untrustworthy had already been flagged on Ethics Alarms; she should never have been appointed in the first place. One of the marks of ethical leadership is the willingness to change course after a mistake, however. Trump, who makes a lot of them, proved with this firing that he is capable of doing that. EA advised that he Noem had to leave a month ago, but better late than never.
Being willing and able to fire a subordinate doesn’t mean one is an effective leader or manager, but not being willing to do so is strong evidence that one is unworthy of responsibility or, as in Joe Biden’s case, not paying attention.
Ethics Alarms 
Good. She unnecessarily shot a dog. That’s all I needed to know about that psychopath.
Me too. And Spuds.
In defense of Noem the dog was described as
“untrainable,” “dangerous,” and “less than worthless“
It was obviously a democrat.
A yellow dog Democrat!
Yes. Remy did not approve of that. No, he did not.

Given everybody’s attention is now on the events in Iran the timing is probably wise.
Maybe we can get TW Shannon in Congress now.
There is mounting evidence that Noem mismanaged (to be kind, I think) a lot of money – to the tune of about $200,000,00 – on a no-bid marketing campaign she and her chief of staff farmed out to political cronies. Sen. Kennedy took apart the agreement this week at a Senate subcommittee hearing. Noem told the committee Trump knew and approved of the campaign. Apparently, Orange Man Evil Bad Nazi Wannabe Eviler-than-Satan Orange Man Super Evil Fascist Evil (did I get everything?) did not like that and simply told her that, even though he is SUPEREVILBADFASCISTNAZISATAN, he did not tolerate his Adminstration telling the truth about it. So, he did what every megalomaniac power-hungry MASSIVEEVILSUPERLATIVEEVILBADORANGMANFASICITNAZIHILTER has done over the centuries, which is to drive an evil spiral spear into the side of his Administration’s heads of office. So, she had to leave. Forthwith.

And here I always thought the punishment was decapitation. I have a LOT to learn…
Hilarious response, by the way.
Now Ms. Noem has more time for her boyfriend(s), or dog grooming, or…whatever.
Well, truth be told, decapitation is the preferred method for dealing with unruly and insubordinate adminstration heads. But, in certain circles, a spiral spear into the side has biblical connotations, which is why someone so completely evil would employ such technique. I mean, St. Michael the Arch Angel casts Satan and all his evil minions into Hell or bureaucratic eternity to which they so richly belong.
