Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem dropped a political bomb in Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, a moment that seemed to hush the room before it rattled it. She told President Trump that half of all visa applications in Minnesota are “fraudulent.” Noem placed the blame, firmly and without hesitation, on Gov. Tim Walz. “You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs: 50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Gov. Walz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose — and I think he’s both, sir,” Noem said, drawing chuckles around

President Trump hosted the annual turkey pardon at the White House on Tuesday — and it didn’t take long for the jokes to start flying. He opened by claiming he was re-pardoning last year’s birds, because former President Joe Biden only used an autopen to sign their reprieve. “Totally invalid,” Trump joked — noting that Biden has used the autopen so often that an autopen portrait now hangs in place of Biden’s picture in the White House photo gallery. “The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year have been located, and they were on their way to be processed…
