April 21Apr 21 It’s nice to know that Homeland Security is in good hands… Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, the secretary confirmed Monday. Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved. The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the Capital Burger restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said. The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash. The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments, the person added. “Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts,” a DHS spokesperson said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/politics/homeland-security-kristi-noem-purse-stolen/index.html Edited April 21Apr 21 by Napoleon
April 21Apr 21 would be a prime civil forfeiture candidate here in Texas walking around with that much cash...
April 21Apr 21 Popular Post Yeah, as I do every time I have family in town, I withdraw several grand in cash to pick up the bill when out eating. That’s not weird at all It has nothing to do with unreportable income I don’t want to deposit at the bank
April 21Apr 21 Pretty sure most security professionals would say carrying around that much cash is dumb. I hope this person doesn't make important decisions relating to security matters.

April 22Apr 22 I don’t wanna white knight for that lady. But… Lotsa people in the rural north keep that much cash on hand. You’re driving down the road and see a fish house, 4 wheeler, etc. along the road for sale. It’s a smoking deal and they won’t take a check. So you go to the hiding spot in your pickup and grab a stack of cash. Not saying she was at the restaurant to buy a boat, but carrying lotsa cash is kinda cultural for some folks. To be clear, I dislike her as a person. But there may be nothing nefarious here.

April 22Apr 22 The real story isn’t the head of DHS being so careless she got her access card and passport swiped, it’s people on a message board questioning her carrying 3 grand in cash.

Well yeah, we’ve kind of come to expect the carelessness of national security and government info. Maybe she posted her dinner plans in a Signal group chat Edited April 22Apr 22 by Js1
