We don’t have access to the precise discussion between Kristi Noem and the editor she hired to prepare the South Dakota governor’s new book for publication. Yet it’s hard to imagine this happening too differently from the following:
Editor: Apparently, you shot a dog you couldn’t train, instead of finding it a suitable home.
Noem: Correct.
Editor: To make such an entry in your book is to say that you’re proud, or at least not ashamed, of what you did.
Noem: Again, correct.
Editor: But readers are going to infer that you’re a cold and empty human being, with no real compassion for other living beings. Are you sure you want to project yourself like that?
Noem: I suppose that, if this were some woke, sissy state, you’d have a point. But this South Dakota, a state that went for Trump by a margin of almost two to one. These people have all the sentimentality of a freshly-sharpened chain saw.
Editor: But you’re a member of the Republican party, and the choices you make reflect on the entire GOP.
Noem: You apparently haven’t noticed that this is precisely what the party stands for at this point. We ban books, revoke women’s rights, align ourselves with world dictators, make groundless claims about a stolen election, make rich people richer and poor people poorer, and do everything possible to promote the consumption of fossil fuels. Our voters adore us.
Editor: OK, you win.

Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
The more damage they do to the common U.S. citizen, the more we love them.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for woke communists and sissies.

Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
