Kristi Noem Has Been Living Rent-Free on Military Base 'For Her Own Safety,' WaPo Reports

Source: MEDIAite

Aug 15th, 2025, 1:13 pm


Department of Homeland Security honcho Kristi Noem has been living rent-free on a Washington-area military base “for her own safety,” The Washington Post reported Friday.

Noem relocated to the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, located just off the Anacostia Freeway, after photos of the area near the DHS chief’s home in D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood were published by the Daily Mail, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told the Post.

Noem was “so horribly doxxed and targeted that she is no longer able to safely live in her own apartment,” McLaughlin told the paper. Noem’s new digs on the Potomac River are fit for royalty — or at least a top navy admiral, which the housing is normally reserved for.

The revelation has riled some Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Murphy (CT), who serves on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security. Murphy told the Post that the building is “not a vanity residence” and accused Noem of “essentially taking that property from the military.”

Admirals and other military officers live in those residences. It's very unusual to house a cabinet secretary there.

for her and Corey, on the suckers' dime.

Like when Bernie Kerik had his own luxury apartment over looking the 911 site, ostensibly to use as a command post, that he used to bring his girlfriend.

Grifters, frauds and hypocrites, every one of them for decades now!

She's already been proven to be no better than an alley cat in heat. No disrespect meant to alley cats. They're just doing what nature intended. I don't think Noem has ever heard of self discipline and restraint. Oh, there I go again, using trigger words. You know what I mean.

It’s not known how long Noem has been living there, but the home was empty after its previous occupant, Adm. Linda Fagan, was relieved of her duty by President Donald Trump in January.


Basically Trump got rid of Admiral Fagan to give her digs to Noem.

given its story selections for instance its obsession I recall with anything about Hunter Biden. So they were so reckless they ended up breaching the privacy of a Trump admin official and thus alienating its MAGA audience?

rodeo too. All the big strong cowboys want to ride me too.”

Remember 'You're so vain?' It certainly applies to Kristi. What is wrong with S Dakotans who keep electing scumbags like Kristi and that creep John Thune? He and his mentor Massacre Mitch never approved even one piece of progressive legislation while they dominated the Senate. There will never be any success in dealing with this country's problems as long as stupid morons keep electing such imbeciles.
