Greetings! Ding, dong, the DHS witch is dead!  Kristi Noem is out as Department of Homeland Security chief. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (D-OK) and former MMA fighter replaces her.  The NY Post reports that Naughty Noem’s refusal to get a straight-up answer about an alleged affair with administration advisor Corey Lewandowski was the “final straw” for The Donald-in-Chief. Lusty Lewandowski, who has been married to Alison Hardy since 2005, was also romantically involved with Trump communications director Hope Hicks during Trump’s first White House residency. According to the portly POTUS,  Noem wasn’t fired; she’s moved to another gig in his administration. She'll become Special Envoy to a new initiative dubbed the Shield of America, which is Trump-speak for “lose my number.” Worth noting: One of the most  detestable things about Noem, from a long list of them, was her sexually provocative way of dressing. I'll never forget her garb from a year ago when she made a photo-op visit to El Salvador’s notorious Cencot mega-prison dressed in a tight shirt and pants, in front of submissive male prisoners bowing their shaved heads as she strutted by...Hail to the (octogenarian) chief: A 100 days till Trump turns 80.  And speaking of birthdays, Michelangelo was born on this day in 1475, as the Daily Signal reminds us...Weekend Watch: As a devoted Beatle fan, I’m a sucker for Fab Four films like the new Amazon Prime program Paul McCartney: Man on the Run.  It’s about McCartney's post-Beatle life in the 70s.

Greetings! Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. American soldiers are on the ground in Ecuador. The U.S. attacked Venezuela and arrested that country’s president. In partnership with Israel, our military has killed Iran's leader and has  been bombing the country relentlessly since Saturday. And now Cuba is in the Trump regime’s crosshairs. The MAGA-in-Chief's regime-change rampage has completely upended The Donald’s “America First” promise that got him a return engagement in the Oval Office....Dog whistle alert! Here’s what Victory Girls has to say about Hakeem Jeffries, AOC and Jasmine Crockett, three Dem politicians of color: “Nobody ever talks about what a genius Hakeem Jeffries is. That’s because he is not. Maybe smarter than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett, who just lost her primary”...Saying the quiet (and sexually explicit) part out loud: In yesterday’s Congressional hearings, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was asked point blank about her relationship with advisor and rumored bedmate Corey Lewandowski. “Have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?” Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) asked Noem, according to the NY Post.  Noem replied that it was a “garbage” question and ducked the line of attack. Noem’s husband sat behind her for much of the proceedings. Without a doubt, it’s Washington’s best soap opera...The Washington Free Beacon reviewed the financial disclosure report of social media political sensation Jack Schlossberg and found no earned income in 2025.  Schlossberg, grandson of  John F. Kennedy  and vocal critic of his cousin, wacko HHS Chief RFK Jr., is running in the Democratic primary in New York’s 12^th Congressional district. The Free Beacon estimates Schlossberg’s net worth near $32 million....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
