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."

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
