Noem’s exit from the DHS: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: President Trump firing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following current House hearings.
Kristi Noem’s firing is effectively deserved (“Noem is fired and iced!” March 6).
Her temporary tenure as Homeland Security secretary was marked by gross incompetence, fixed lying, political tone deafness and, frankly, a disturbing narcissism.
It says one thing that, whereas serving in a Cabinet of equally unqualified colleagues, Noem’s shortcomings stood out.
Shame on President Trump for nominating her, and disgrace on all the senators, particularly the seven Democrats, who voted to substantiate her, understanding she was not up to the job.

Here’s the distinction between Trump and the Democrats: The president lastly realized Noem was an imbecile and confirmed her the door.

In the business world, if you end up fired, you might be no longer employed by that company.
However, in Trump’s kingdom, getting fired simply means migrating to a newly created place.
Sounds more than a bit fishy.
Perhaps there was fact in what Noem mentioned about Trump in her hearings, and now he desires her out of the highlight.
As he so typically does, he’ll pay her off to be quiet.

But, regardless that her alternative, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, by no means shot his own canine to death, he’s nonetheless an ignoramus who publicly struggled to know the distinction between Iran and Iraq.

Noem is best recognized for murdering a canine that disillusioned her.
She spat on the graves of these whom ICE officers killed, accusing them of being “domestic terrorists.”
She went to prisons the place immigrants focused for deportation have been incarcerated, exhibiting off and delighting of their distress.
However, her alternative, Trump sycophant Markwayne Mullin, could symbolize leaping from one frying pan into one other.

The Issue: California Gov. Gavin Newsom calling Israel “an apartheid state” at a book-promotion occasion.
Israel, within its pre-1967 boundaries, isn’t an apartheid state (“Gav rips Israeli society,” March 5).
However, Israel is an apartheid state within the West Bank, as Palestinians there don’t take pleasure in equal rights with Jewish settlers.
But there are lots of nations in the world that give desire to a explicit group, and we hardly ever check with them as apartheid states.
China in Tibet is a good instance.
If Newsom believes Israel, at its core, is an apartheid state, he must also title different nations which clearly match that label.

In 2021, former Israeli ambassadors to South Africa Ilan Baruch and Alon Liel co-authored an essay arguing Israel has instituted an apartheid regime in the West Bank, with a two-tiered legal system and Palestinians pressured to stay on ever-smaller tracts of land, amongst different issues.
When former Israeli diplomats acknowledge apartheid, it shouldn’t be seen as excessive for an American governor to say so too.
