I doubt this is real news, but, honesty, it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kristi-noem-wants-migrants-to-compete-for-citizenship-on-hunger-games-style-reality-show/ Kristi Noem reportedly wants the U.S. citizenship process to play out in front of the cameras. The Homeland Security secretary has been working with writer and producer Rob Worsoff to pitch a reality TV show—titled The American—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to the Daily Mail. Citing a copy of Worsoff’s 35-page program pitch, the Daily Mail reported that the Canadian-born producer aims to “celebrate what it means to be American and have a national conversation about what it means to be American, through the eyes of the people who want it most.” Worsoff is best known for producing the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Beast that the show’s concept is under consideration, though she denied that Noem had reviewed the pitch in question. The concept is “in the very beginning stages” of the vetting process, she added, and approval has not been given—or denied. “The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year,” she said in a statement. “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.” McLaughlin denied Noem’s involvement in the project, though unnamed sources told the Daily Mail that the Homeland Security secretary supports it and wants it to proceed. The Daily Beast has also reached out to Worsoff’s representatives for comment.

Fun Fact: I have not done any reporting since I returned to this forum a few years back after being gone for over a decade. Not one person has been reported by me. Not one. Believe it or don't.

Thought he had a thread dedicated to him, but all I could find was one on a DOJ report he submitted with his prosecution efforts. Anyway...since he is on Trump's enemies target list, he is still in the news.

Hate speech from probably the most meanspirited person in this forum.

A view from our friends above the northern border. https://x.com/search?q="No Kings"&src=trend_click&f=live&vertical=trends (CBC video clip at link) CBC has been going live to the NY City "No Kings" protests a few times an hour. This comment from Kris Reyes is hilarious "I've seen young people, old people, families, people in costumes, people wearing avocado suits, people wearing frog costumes." "They told me that they wanted to dispel any assumption that there was violence in this crowd." "They wanted to be as silly and as absurd as possible, as they fought for their rights and as they fight for democracy, as they show love for their country." Imagine if CBC repeated these same things about Freedom Convoy protesters with bouncy castles and hot tubs? As CBC struggles to be CNN daily, they look more like the old community cable TV stations @KrisReyes @brodiefenlon

https://x.com/Brucenewsreview/status/1979585638631682183 A lead member of former special counsel Jack Smith’s legal team is joining forces with former FBI Director James Comey, who faces charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Michael Dreeben will now beef up the legal team defending Comey, according to Politico. Dreeben previously led Smith’s team in delivering arguments before the Supreme Court that Trump does not have absolute immunity for official acts. The debate around absolute immunity became an issue when Smith led the Biden DOJ’s election-interference prosecution against Trump. Trump argued the case was weaponized against him for political purposes, and he contended he was innocent of the DOJ’s charges that he sought to overturn the 2020 election during his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, due to an interpretation of the Constitution that he held absolute immunity for acts he committed as president.
