Staggering costs revealed for Kristi Noem's makeup and horse rental in $143M ad debacle

By Travis Gettys
Published March 23, 2026 3:58 PM ET

New details have emerged about the taxpayer-funded ad campaign featuring ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem riding on horseback.

The $143 million ad campaign shows the 54-year-old Noem on horseback in front of Mount Rushmore praising President Donald Trump and warning undocumented migrants that her agents will deport them, but Democratic lawmakers are demanding records from the Ohio-based political consulting firm The Strategy Group about the no-bid contract inked with DHS, reported The Daily Beast.

"Now filings passed to the Daily Beast reveal the eye-watering cost of putting Noem on a horse and plastering makeup on her face," the website reported.

She might have lost her other fascist wet dream in the making job, but she is still around with other lackeys doing the same shit in other agencies.........and just to add further insult to this shit show she said this and he said this BS.........

-snip-
Noem told lawmakers in a hearing earlier this month that Trump had signed off on the campaign, but he denied doing so after he fired her.

and I have the feeling.............. but I think her and that orange hair traitor are liars.........and they need to be locked up.............along with everyone else in their shit show unfolding before our eyes with a do nothing maga majority congress.............

November cannot get here fast enough............

"One line item that stands out is the $20,000 payment to Jill Moody, 60, a two-time Reserve World Champion barrel racer from Letcher, South Dakota, whose competition horse once won $260,000 in a single year," The Daily Beast reported, adding that a TSG representative said that covered the cost of a rental horse and associated expenses. "The hair and makeup tab runs to almost $3,800."

As fussy as Corey Lewandowski's girlfriend is about her appearance, it probably took four hours to get her ready for the camera.

Now I ask you, fine DUers: would you spend four hours standing two feet from Kristi Noem for less than that? I know I wouldn't.

And just so you know, that picture looks totally stripped-together to me. The edges around Ms. Noem and her horse are way too hard.
