-Short Attention Span Theater-
Kristi Noem, Trump respond to shocking cross-dressing photos tied to her husband
[FoxNews] Bryon Noem allegedly sent hundreds of messages including the images to three women, according to reports
Mrs. Noem is no longer on the payroll, so this little scandal is her problem, not ours.
According to Newsweek, President Trump responded mildly:
President Donald Trump reacted to reports that the husband of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem cross-dresses, telling The Daily Mail Tuesday, “I feel badly for the family.”

The comments followed the outlet’s report that Bryon Noem cross-dresses and wears fake breasts.

“They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that’s the case, that’s too bad,” Trump told The Daily Mail, adding, “I haven’t seen anything. I don’t know anything about it. That’s too bad, but I just know nothing about it.”
Soiled laundry in the closet. None of my business.

Given A.I. abilities to construct anything, who trust audio's, video's or picture's anymore?

But only a handful know the validity of the pictures in question.


How about a Personal Protective Law.
A LAW requiring all artificially general materials using any persons face without their permission, be a Felony. All A.I. developed items be labeled as A.I. generated?

#5  ^ right arm has a hump above her elbow, fingernails are on the sides of her digits, left eye is funky and her nose is askew

#6  Did anyone have this on their 2026 bingo card?

While I just as soon see the MSM leave him and Kristi alone, I'm inclined to believe the photo's are real. Too many of them seem to exist and other than embarrassing both of them, there seems to be no gain. Kristi is no longer in a position where blackmail will affect her political career.

#9  Fweedom!

It's weird, but I feel that the clip of Walz hitting the stage is he, himself, feeling like he is in cross-dress.

#11  Mrs. Noem is no longer on the payroll, so this little scandal is her problem, not ours.

Not quite TW, Kristi Noem is now a 'Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas'.

So she's very much still on the government payroll!

You’re right, Seeking cure. Thank goodness you remembered when all the rest of us forgot.

Kentucky governor: Gaza ‘genocide’ claims shouldn’t be a litmus test for Democrats
Trying to drag the Democratic party slightly less far left. It will be interesting to see if they can succeed, given the views of their most active voters and biggest donors.
[IsraelTimes] Andy Beshear, a 2028 presidential hopeful, says Israel ‘has the right to exist as a democratic country, as a Jewish country’ while bashing Trump and Netanyahu over the Gaza and Iran wars.

NY candidate joins anti-Israel streamer’s show, sparking ire from Jewish-heavy district
[IsraelTimes] Democratic party officials express ‘deep disappointment’ in congressional hopeful Effie Phillips-Staley after she accuses Israel of genocide, apartheid on Hasan Piker’s stream

#3  Beshear trying to walk both sides of the lines isn't going to make him friends on either side. The far left won't support him because of his views on Israel. Behear's criticism of Trump & Netanyahu won't win him much support from the independents and moderate Republicans.
