    I guess everybody understands what’s going on here. Noem put the anecdote in a book because she thought it was impressive about her ability to make tough choices. But she is so out of her element with an actual ability to make tough choices in the moment, that even her anecdote that she chose in a moment of consideration is just awful.

    Education is extremely important.

        I was going to say she's an idiot, but I dare say she sold a lot of books.

          Noem book dogged by new claims of inaccuracies


          Days ahead of its release, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is mired in yet more controversy surrounding the impending release of her new memoir — and this time, it involves an allegation about former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

          First came Noem’s disclosure about shooting and killing her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, for misbehaving. Then, just as the dog-killing news cycle was cresting, the Dakota Scout reported on an anecdote in “No Going Back” that on its face is highly improbable: Noem’s claim that she met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un while serving as a back-bencher in Congress.

          “Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee,” Noem wrote, “I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”

          In fact, the only part of this that checks out is Kim “having no clue about” Noem — because they never met.


          "Dogged," LOL.

                      So I guess she has stared down nuclear families, if not countries.

                        She's probably terrorized a whole bunch of badly-behaved 8 years olds during her days at Sunday school. Maybe she is qualified to run as Trump's second after all. And we all know how much he likes his Biblical teachings.

                              Eating a lemon pie and shooting a bad dog that bites people are two different things.

                              I don't approve of how she did things, but in the real world, country people can and do kill animals. I put two rounds of buckshot into one of my barn toms, because he whipped one of my favorite young cats.

                              The governor was an idiot for publicizing the incident. Until I know a bit more, I'm not going to say she was an idiot for shooting the dog.

                                Best line yet about the political miscalculation:

                                Trust me: If there were any advantage to career advancement in the GOP by killing puppies, Elise Stefanik would have blown up a kennel long ago.

Dealing with foreign leaders takes resolve, preparation, and determination.”

                                  enough about the dog...turns out she also described a meeting with kim jong un which apparently never took place. so how much of this book is her, and how much is ghost writing, where the ghost writer is giving a "situation" and sort of makes up dialogue, later to find out the "situation" didnt happen

                                          Sigh. She continues to double down. She said the Biden's dogs attacked 23 secret service agents, and perhaps they should have been put down.

                                          And, I know I shouldn't but ... Isn't she looking a bit..."trampy" these days?

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
