oh brave, brave, brave kristi gnome [View all]

saw this on fb earlier in the gavin newsom 2028 group:






Kristi Noem came to Portland this week to “survey the Antifa war zone.”

So what does she do? She climbs onto the roof of the ICE building, wide open, no body armor, no helmet, no cover, surrounded by glass towers and clear lines of sight in every direction.

That’s not bravery; that’s proof she knows it’s safe.

Because if she truly believed her own story, that Portland is crawling with terrorists out to destroy America , her security team would have tackled her before she reached the stairs to the roof.

But there she is, framed by cameras, chin up, pretending to stare down danger.

Below her? A handful of reporters, a few curious locals, and one guy in a chicken suit.

That’s not a war zone. That’s an afternoon in Portland.

The whole thing was staged.

She wasn’t surveying threats, she was manufacturing them.

If you ever want to know what propaganda looks like in real time, it’s this: a politician standing safely on a roof while telling you she and the country are under attack by a terrorist organization with headquarters in the very city she is in.

You don’t climb onto an open roof in a war zone, unless the war’s imaginary.

Think about it....she’s elevated, exposed, perfectly framed by a skyline full of potential vantage points and yet, perfectly calm. No tactical gear. No visible security sweep. Just sunglasses, theater lighting and a self-satisfied smirk on her face.
