Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled Kristi Noem With A Fake 'Dog Obedience School' Ad
California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom focused his trolling of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, creating a fake dog obedience school ad for the self-professed puppy killer.
In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Noem bragged about shooting and killing her 14-month-old Wire-haired Pointer puppy named Cricket after she failed to train it properly and without trying to rehome the dog to a competent trainer or a hunting dog rescue.
Noem claimed killing the puppy, and a goat she went home to get after shooting Cricket, proved her hard decision making capabilities. People—especially farmers, ranchers, and hunters—disagreed, saying Noem's actions proved her inability to weigh options and make the best choice, instead of lashing out in the fit of rage she described having in her book.
Since Noem made her puppy killing proclivity public, she's been repeatedly ridiculed and mocked for it, famously and hilariously by South Park.
Now Newsom's social media team, who have previously targeted Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump propaganda minister and puppeteer Stephen Miller, is using Noem's boast about killing a puppy to troll the controversial Trump cabinet member. Newsom's office previously dubbed Noem “Kosplay Kristi” over her frequent costumed photo ops.
On November 13, the Governor Newsom Press Office account posted a photo on X, captioned:
"Sign up today!"
The photo said:
"KRISTI NOEM’S DOG OBEDIENCE SCHOOL: She’ll Treat Them As Good As She Treats Brown People."
Noem used the official Department of Homeland Security account to lash out in response to the mockery.

Some people took exception to making a joke about Noem's animal cruelty.
But Newsom's office responded:
"dude, she’s a self-admitted puppy killer"
Others acknowledged Noem bragged about her animal cruelty.

That look of betrayal..."Dad. I don't like this show" ~Doggo That dog is too young to be watching Hassan livestream.'Kristi Noem has entered the chat.' Kristi Noem is like a box of chocolates. All the good stuff was picked out ages ago & she absolutely will kill your dog.

If Donnie's the "dog that didn't bark" maybe we should introduce him to Noem as "untrainable"??And tell her he looks like a goat, too
— Just Dave (@dvcop.bsky.social) November 12, 2025 at 1:19 PM
In addition to her animal cruelty, Noem is also drawing criticism for her racially biased abductions of United States citizens, documented immigrants, and undocumented immigrants and for her extravagant lifestyle at taxpayers' expense, earning her the nickname "ICE Barbie."

Trump Gives Pious Reminder That The Bible Says To Care For 'Vulnerable Children'—And The Hypocrisy Is Off The Charts
President Donald Trump was called out for hypocrisy after he said during the signing of an executive order expanding resources for the foster care system that the Bible instructs society to care for "vulnerable children and orphans"—only for people to point out that he had denied Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to hungry children just days before.
The loss of SNAP is a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.
Although SNAP benefits are administered by individual states, the program is funded by the federal government, which was shuttered until the government shutdown was finally resolved last week; the budget impasse kicked off after the GOP refused to negotiate with Democrats over Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that were due to expire.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration, granting its emergency request to temporarily halt a lower court order that required full funding of SNAP food assistance during the shutdown even as some states had already begun issuing the payments.
A federal judge had given the administration until Friday to deliver the full allotments through SNAP. But the White House appealed, asking that courts allow it to avoid spending beyond what remains in a limited contingency fund and to proceed instead with only partial SNAP disbursements for the month.
Despite all of these well-documented facts, Trump said:
"The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans—so important and so big in the Bible. As we make America great again, we are going to protect American children in foster care."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Trump's executive order, titled "Fostering the Future for American Children and Family," brings together federal agencies and public- and private-sector partners to expand opportunities for young people in, and aging out of, the foster care system.
It directs Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to modernize state child-welfare data systems and publish an annual scorecard evaluating how state foster care programs are performing.
Working with the Office of the First Lady, Kennedy must also launch a new “Fostering the Future” initiative. The program will partner with major companies, universities, and nonprofit organizations to create pathways to education and employment for current and former foster youth.
The initiative is additionally tasked with building an online platform to help foster youth locate local resources, expanding access to Education and Training Vouchers, and broadening educational opportunities overall.
All of that sounds nice on paper—but rings hollow in light of the facts.
Trump was harshly criticized.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said during a Thursday interview with Newsmax that the Trump administration will require millions of recipients to reapply for the SNAP benefits they were denied as part of an effort to crack down on “fraud."
Rollins said she plans to “have everyone reapply for their benefits, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through ... food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”
SNAP fraud can occur when participants intentionally misrepresent their eligibility, when retailers illegally exchange benefits for cash, or when criminals steal benefits by skimming EBT cards, according to USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service.
However, anti-hunger advocates say the problem is far smaller than the Trump administration suggests, noting that the average participant receives only about $6 a day in SNAP benefits.
Conservatives Slam Trump After His Attack On GOP Rep's Marriage Is A Low Blow Even For Him
President Donald Trump has been married three times, but his hypocrisy escaped him entirely when he attacked Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie for getting remarried last month following the death of his first wife in 2024—prompting his own party to call him out for going too far.
Last week, Massie announced he'd married his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa, in late October. His first wife and "high school sweetheart," Rhonda Howard Massie, died in June 2024.
Massie took to social media and wrote:
"Carolyn and I would like to announce our recent marriage! We were legally married in Kentucky on October 19th by the pastor of the church we have been attending for several months. This weekend we celebrated with close friends and family at a Christian wedding ceremony in Pennsylvania where Carolyn is from."
"Carolyn Grace Moffa and I first met professionally over a decade ago when she worked for Senator Rand Paul. As Senator Paul’s Ag policy staffer until 2016, Carolyn was a very early proponent and practitioner of Making America Healthy Again. She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago. Carolyn has not previously been married."
"I have four adult children, who are all married to wonderful people, and three grandchildren from my blessed 31 year marriage to Rhonda who I still miss every day. We will reside on the farm in Kentucky where Carolyn recently helped me re-establish ducks and chickens to go with the beef cattle. We plan to travel back-and-forth to DC and throughout Kentucky as my congressional responsibilities require."
"Fun facts about our wedding: Of course we served raw milk with the wedding cake and margaritas made with frozen peaches from our farm! Senator Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Victoria Spartz attended, however the real VIPs were my three grandkids. My oldest grandson was the ring bearer."
"I proposed to Carolyn on the steps of the Library of Congress which was the location of our first date. Please pray for us as Carolyn steps into the arena with me. With her support, I look forward to continuing my fight for freedom for the great people of Kentucky!
You can see his post below.
Shortly afterward, Trump posted the following message on Truth Social:
“Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already??? Boy, that was quick!”
"No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election. Anyway, have a great life Thomas and (?). His wife will soon find out that she's stuck with a LOSER!"
You can see Trump's post below.

Trump's post came after he and Massie spent recent days trading barbs over documents tied to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump blasted “stupid” Republicans for backing a petition that would force a vote on making the files public.
Notably, Massie sponsored a House discharge petition that would force the release of the Epstein files—so Trump, whose administration has declined to release the files despite promising to for months, has plenty of reason to be angry at Massie.
But there was no doubt Trump's behavior was petty and nasty.
He was swiftly called out by his own party.
In an interview on ABC, Massie said his wife joked that Trump is "mad he didn't get an invitation" to their recent wedding, saying Trump is "being a bully or trying to be a bully."
He added:
"They're trying to beat me here in Kentucky. The people financing this campaign consist of three billionaires and they're all in the Epstein class. In fact, one of them is named in Epstein's phone book. Not the secret files the FBI is keeping but in Epstein's phone book."
"It's a small world. Dogs don't bark at parked cars."
This week, Trump said he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein’s ties to other prominent figures, including some of his own political opponents.
Massie cautioned that the Justice Department's investigation of Epstein's ties to Democrats could interfere with Congress’ effort to mandate the full release of the files. He noted that “if they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released.”
Video Of Pete Hegseth Screwing 'Department Of War' Sign Onto Building Gets Brutally Mocked
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was widely mocked after the Department of Defense—or shall we say the self-proclaimed "Department of War"—debuted its new plaque by publishing a video showing Hegseth tightening the screws on the new plaque with the words "Department of War" at the Defense Department's River Entrance.
The Pentagon’s rapid response account shared the clip on X along with the following caption:
"Welcome to the War Department."
You can see the video below.
Despite what Hegseth and his associates might claim, news outlets previously reported that the "Department of War" rebrand is merely a "secondary title" for the Department of Defense and not a legal name change.
The department is only being given alternate labels, which is a symbolic rebrand more than anything substantive. The official name will remain the same unless Congress passes a law to change it.
Performative, huh?
Hegseth was mocked in response.
Inside the Pentagon, the rebrand has sparked frustration and bewilderment, with many officials criticizing it as an expensive cosmetic shift that would potentially cost billions and that does little to address urgent issues like confronting the growing strength of authoritarian powers.
The White House even said in an official release that President Donald Trump's order "authorizes the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Defense and subordinate officials to use secondary titles such as 'Secretary of War,' 'Department of War,' and 'Deputy Secretary of War' in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch."
Hegseth has said the name change is important because the country has lost its "warrior ethos" and that the country's founders "wanted an empowered military—the handcuffs were taken off—to fight to win, and then bring those troops home."
He went further, claiming the founders "didn't want endless foreign entanglements" and "didn't want endless contingencies and deployments."

People Explain The Dumbest Reasons They Had To Call 911
We've all made mistakes from time to time, and some of them have probably been pretty cringy and stupid.
But most of us can take comfort in the fact that we didn't do something so stupid that we had to call 9-1-1 to get us out of trouble.
Curiousity peaked, Redditor Comfortable_Drink217 asked:
"What's the dumbest reason people called 9-1-1?"
Trying To Make A Point
"I called 911 in the UK when drunk to make a point that it was the wrong number (ours is 999)."
"Anyway, turns out it redirects to 999."
- Decent-Cattle-332
"Them: 999, what's your emergency?"
"You: I called 911, you f*cking poser."

Just Checking In
"911 dispatcher here. The dumbest reason is to ask about the weather, ask about internet outages, etc."
"You would not believe the number of people who call 911 just to have a conversation and tell you about what's going on in their lives."
- Low-Landscape-4609
"I worked for the city in IT and worked many times at the 9-1-1 center. The amount of junk calls is too d**n high."
"Weather, lost and need directions, out of gas/car won't start, no one to talk to so called to yap (old folks I am told), tv/phone/internet/power outages, etc."
"I called 9-1-1 when I had a home invasion. I need police and medical help after being beaten up. I had to sit on hold for a short bit when every second counts. Maybe because of someone who could not get their car to start jammed up the lines."
- Dapper-Hamster69
Locked Inside, Allegedly
"I saw a video of a recorded call where a lady got in her car without her keys and locked the door. Not knowing how cars work or bothering to check first, she calls 9-1-1 and cries that she's locked herself INSIDE her car."
"To the operator's defense, they were very polite and patient, calmed the lady down, and after a few confused questions, asked her to try pulling on the handle. The sound of them dying a little on the inside was quickly drowned out by the embarrassment of the caller as the door opens, and you can hear in her voice how foolish she feels."
- XeroTerragoth
An Animal Advocate
"I once called the police because I saw someone beating their dog, shoving it into a trash can, then walking away like it was nothing. It was one of those novelty giant teddy bears, and they were trying to make it fit in the bin."

"Recently had 'someone is wrapping a dead body in a blanket!' Turned out to be a giant plush animal that got old."

Chicken Nugget Fury
"Wasn't there a news story about a woman who called because a fast food place ran out of chicken nuggets?"
- Empty-Appointment168
"Seven years ago in the UK, yes. KFC ran out of chicken, and people were reporting it to the police."
- Decent-Cattle-332
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
"I was out with a trio of guys who were all snow shoveling different homes. Towards the end, we started taking turns on who would go out to shovel so the other two could warm up and eat/drink something."
"On one particular house, the only Black member of our trio goes out and does the shoveling. He gets done, starts on his way over, and cop cars show up as he reaches us in the truck."
"Turns out, the house we had to park in front of, the occupants had called that someone suspicious was in the neighborhood."
"We get out of our vehicle, explain things to the cops, they realize what's going on, and leave. With the job done, we left as well. It was ridiculous."
- Version_Red
"Is it legal to gather all the snow they shoveled and put it all in that one driveway? Hypothetically?"
- Oddish_IceCold
False Alarm
"My stepdad called 9-1-1 when a raccoon got into our house. They advised him to open a door and wait for it to leave."
- CupcakeVillage
"I called 9-1-1 when there were possums in our basement, but it was legitimately because they were so loud and clumsy that I thought someone had broken into the house."
"The cops came and charged downstairs, guns pulled, and found a mom and baby possums."
"Top-tier embarrassment, but it makes for a good story now."
- staffylove2422
"One night, I got higher than a giraffe's a** and forgot I threw a load of laundry in."
"We have a window in our laundry room, and it's a split-level house, so the laundry room window is level with the yard. It sounded like someone was trying to break the window to get in through the laundry room, and it was about 2:00 in the morning."
"I ended up calling 9-1-1, and as I was walking down the hallway, as they picked up, I noticed it was the washing machine that was unbalanced, just causing an insane ruckus. Explained the situation to them. We had a good laugh, and thankfully that was it."
- Oobutwo
Just Listening
"When I was 14, I worked at an old-fashioned soda fountain/sandwich shop/pharmacy. One day, a lady came in for a malt and an egg salad sandwich. She was a 9-1-1 dispatcher."
"She was telling me about a lady who called every single day to ask what day it was, what time it was, and what the weather was. I told her to give the lady our number."
"Mary 'Meme' called us every single day. Sometimes, a couple times a day. Asking those questions. The dispatcher asked that I call her if Meme ever skipped a day and we didn’t hear from her."
"One day, it hit me. I was 17. A whole shift without a call from Meme. I called the retired dispatcher. We all went to Meme's funeral."
"Her elderly sister showed me the note she had stuck to her wall by the phone: '[My name]. [Name] Drug Store. The store's number. Said to, 'Call every day, it’s okay.'"
"Man. I LOST MY S**T."
"Sorry. This question reminded me of that."
"I am 41 now. I still wonder about the regulars. Did she ever finish beauty school? Was that really Allan Jackson’s baby? Did he ever lose enough weight to buy a Harley? Was the blind guy really blind, or did he just like me reading his mail out loud?"
"Did the pharmacist John Jordan know how poor my family was, and that’s why he offered young me the job and had his wife buy me pants and shoes?"
"It’s weird what sticks in your mind and what doesn’t."

Squirrel Safety
"There was a squirrel in the road. Not dead. Just playing. A car didn't want to run it over and didn't get close enough for the squirrel to move. They called 9-1-1 so the cops could get the squirrel into a tree."
"I lived in a small town with a hilarious police blotter of all the dumbest 9-1-1 calls made by the fancy people of the town."
"Another one was someone saw a 'real witch' walking around. It was a girl dressed in black clothes and a cape. The caller was convinced this girl was a witch and coming to curse the town."
"There were so many other funny ones, but I forget now."
- Very_Smelly_Foot
Conspiring Houseplants
"I knew someone who called 911 because he thought his houseplants were conspiring to murder him."
- CynicalOptimistSF
"Okay, but that could be a legit call."
"Like, he might be having hallucinations from a drug interaction (potential emergency) or have something going on mentally that causes paranoia (not an emergency, but still may merit a hospital visit)."
"I might have called a friend first before 9-1-1, but if you legit think someone/something is coming to murder you, 9-1-1 is a safe bet to get help from."
- DiamondOracle194
An Elusive Package
"I called the non-emergency line because my Amazon package was thrown into someone’s gated property, and I had just moved to town and didn’t want a trespass charge for hopping over their gate."
"I couldn’t stop laughing while trying to explain to the dispatcher why I was calling because it was so dumb."
"I apologized profusely to the cop who showed up, and he was like, 'No yeah, it was probably a good idea,' and hopped their fence to give it to me. I felt so bad. Nice guy, though."
- SquishedStitch
Not Worth Waiting For
"My husband is an officer, and one of my favorites he told me about was a phone call from a perfectly able-bodied young adult who didn't want to wait for the city bus and was requesting a ride to her friend's house."
- Open_Constant3467
A Teachable Moment
"Not dumb, but more like cute. My sister (school therapist but also taught some classes) used to teach children how to dial 9-1-1, what to say, etc., and would explain to only call for emergencies."
"Well, the kids went home that night... and practiced (not a lot of them)."
"The next day, she had a visit from a (very nice) police officer at the school."
"She decided to let the local police and 9-1-1 call center know ahead of time when she was going to do that lesson next year. (She still did that lesson for many years, but always gave them a heads up; some of the dispatchers had a nice discussion with the kids)."
- draggar
A Child's Dream
"My brother called when he was five to say hello to the police officers. No one at home knew he did it, and he couldn't explain why he called, so they sent a unit over."
"He was over the moon, but my mom was livid."
- polkadotd
"My sister was babysitting with her friend, and the friend’s little sister wanted to play CPR and 'call' 9-1-1. So she called 9-1-1, didn’t hang up the receiver (this was the 90s), and the fire department heard them playing CPR, thought it was real, and sent a fire truck and ambulance."
- eboshi
From ridiculous to accidental to cringe-worthy, there's a range of reasons why someone might need to or might accidentally call 9-1-1. Fortunately for these individuals, no one was hurt because of a silly mistake, although their pride might have been slightly hurt.
