Hey Media - What else was in Christy Noem's Purse?

So she had $60,000 Purse with $3,000 in cash in it, but what else was in there? She is, however unfortunate, the head of homeland security. She has to have state secrets in every orifice.

Thumb drives with state secrets?

Her Phone with State Secrets and *yuck*, pictures?

TS/SCI Docs?

Drugs?

Why are you just taking this on face value? (rhetorical question).

I guarantee any enameled cast-iron dutch oven, such as LeCreuset, will last decades longer than any purse.

I also remember them defending Condoleeza Rice being out shopping for Ferragamo shoes after 9/11.

Their double-standards and hypocrisy haven't changed.

butt wipers. She’s a DOGE princess so she has a massive security detail, and I’m supposed to believe some little wanker managed to lift her purse? Give me a break. Just how bad is this Hegseth story? It looks to me like they need a plausible reason/scapegoat for some really disastrous security black hole they’ve opened in the fabric of the universe.

So they can be like, “oh my, they must have hacked poor Kristi’s phone” and not blame the drunk guy who invites all the guys from the bar at the Country Club onto his signal chat. He’s going to end up gone either way, but these people . . . .

It’s admittedly a complete lack of imagination on my part, but I can’t think of any other reason why. Her purse actually being lifted seems like the less likely scenario to me. That broad floats with a batillion of security.

ETA: So there’s a video. Great. I just can’t with these people any more. Literally, unbelievable.

The stolen pocketbook had a Louis Vuitton Clemence Purse inside, which sells for $600 ...The larger bag had been placed on the ground at Noem’s table when it was snatched, according to the report. Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a N95 surgical mask, dark pants, a “fur-type” collar and a ball cap snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant. The suspect had not been identified as of Monday afternoon. The suspect glanced around the restaurant before grabbing Noem’s bag, covering it with his jacket and then hustling out of the restaurant ... https://nypost.com/2025/04/21/us-news/kristi-noems-purse-with-3k-cash-inside-snatched-by-thief-during-outing-at-dc-restaurant/

Surprised she wasn't carrying.

You never know when you might need to shoot a dog.

I'm guessing she always carries. That information would be suppressed because losing one's gun is a major Bozo No-No, unless it was ripped from one's dead or unconscious body.

The news article said she had blank checks in the purse.

Who carries checks these days?
The checks were from what account?

Was the cash and the checks to pay someone off?

Who was she having dinner with?
Lots of questions, not so many answers.

I got 500 when I opened a credit union account and just never used them. Probably have 100-150 left.

Account is still active and checks would work fine. But I haven't written one in ages, and probably only to a DMV or something govie.

As Malcolm Nance has revealed in his weekly videos, contacts yield more contacts, and more personal details, and travel patterns - and all this at the highest levels of government. This was well planned. They already knew where and when to target the theft. It's all compromised now. This is not Signal. This is wide open.

You cannot simply walk into an Hermès store and purchase a Birkin bag off the shelf. Hermès maintains a very exclusive and selective process for selling Birkin and Kelly bags. Instead, acquiring one typically involves building a relationship with an Hermès sales associa.te and demonstrating a consistent purchase history with the brand, according to Fortune and Global Boutique

Answer: Nothing.

Her so-called G.O.P. homeland security was so shitty and unprofessional that it got stolen.

And she's the republicon in charge of keeping America safe?
