Updated @ 6 pm | John now comments on her cashiering, and all he really has to say is that she “lost her way” and “went Hollywood”.

Weird. I really can’t imagine what he means by that. She certainly is the last thing from a Hollywood starlet that I could ever envision, Mr. DeMille… Unless he means a horror flick protagonist like “Species”… But whatever — that was his comment. End update.

I am sure this new guy won’t be any more law-abiding, but I do love seeing people’s karma come back around — to greet them, just the same.More soon. Somebody somewhere commented that replacing her with Mullin is like sh!tting your pants… but then running home and only changing your shirt. That seems about right.

We are pretty sure her combative stance with members of her own party this week, on the Hill. . . did her in.

I love that Hinderaker was chief among the hard-right loons that had been pushing her as the next GOP nominee for 1600 Penn. No more, I’d say. Hilarious! From the NYT, then:

…President Trump announced Thursday that he was firing his homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, and wanted Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her. He announced it on his social media platform, Truth Social….

Mr. Trump announced the change on social media, along with a new, and previously nonexistent, role for Ms. Noem: special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which he said would be a new security initiative for the Western Hemisphere.

Mr. Trump is close with Mr. Mullin, a Republican, and speaks with him regularly.

Ms. Noem — the first cabinet member to be ousted in Mr. Trump’s second term — had been among the key figures in the administration fulfilling his mass deportation effort, which he campaigned on aggressively and which was heavily influenced by Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser.

But her tenure had been marked by a string of controversies, and her fate had been the focus of speculation among Mr. Trump’s allies for several weeks. On Thursday, the president contradicted remarks that Ms. Noem made under penalty of perjury in her hearing before a Senate panel on Wednesday: that Mr. Trump had signed off ​on a border security advertising campaign featuring Ms. Noem.

“I never knew anything about it,” Mr. Trump told Reuters. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment, and referred a reporter to Mr. Trump’s comments to Reuters….

Onward, grinning — ear to ear. What an endlessly stupid chaos machine all of MAGA, forever… is. Yikes.
