Noem should face a full criminal investigation for the funds she controlled, including where they ultimately went, and be held legally accountable in court if wrongdoing is proven. The same standard must apply to the men above her—Miller, Bannon, Hegseth, Patel—and to powerful financiers like Thiel, Bezos, and Musk, whose influence and money amplify the harm done in the pursuit of ego and greed.

She should be investigated, indicted, tried, and, if guilty, sentenced, standing in court in an orange jumpsuit without the armor of extensions, fillers, makeup, or injections—a visible reminder that no one is above the law. Her punishment should be public and exemplary so that others understand that abusing power and siphoning money, possibly into offshore accounts, carries real consequences.

It is not incidental that she is a woman deployed as a front; the men who elevated and directed her must also be held to account. They should not be allowed to hide behind her or behind their media machines while policy and propaganda cost people their lives.

The United States made a catastrophic error when it failed to truly punish the former Confederacy after the Civil War, allowing a war for slavery to be repackaged as a noble stand for “freedom.” The myths that followed paved the way for later betrayals of democracy, culminating in events like January 6th, when lies again fueled an assault on the constitutional order.

If these actors are not punished, then the rule of law collapses into theater, and the Constitution becomes just another prop to thump, no more meaningful to them than a Bible or the Atkins diet plan. Without real consequences, their oaths are empty, their rhetoric is fraud, and the system itself becomes an accomplice to their corruption.

I believe that Minnesota has every legal right to pursue the nutty Noem for her role(s) in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
