 BENUE ASSEMBLY PASSES FORESTRY, MINING COMMISSION BILL TO BOOST ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT  The Benue State House of Assembly has passed into law a bill establishing a Forestry, Mines and Solid Minerals Commission, marking a significant step toward economic diversification and environmental protection.

 Sen. John Kennedy reveals why Kristi Noem was 'dead as fried chicken' after disastrous congressional hearing


Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said it quickly became clear to him that former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s tenure was over after her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. 


During the hearing, Kennedy pressed Noem about a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign targeting illegal immigration, which she claimed had been fully approved by President Trump. Kennedy later told Fox News that he was stunned by her remarks and suspected trouble ahead.


According to Kennedy, Trump personally called him after watching the hearing, angrily denying any involvement in the campaign. 


The senator said the president insisted he had “nothing to do with this,” and Kennedy believed him. 


Kennedy described Trump as “mad as a mamma wasp” and concluded that Noem’s time at DHS was “dead as fried chicken.” The exchange underscored the tension between Noem’s testimony and Trump’s public position.


By Thursday, Trump announced on Truth Social that Noem was out as DHS secretary and would be reassigned as a special envoy for “The Shield of the Americas” coalition. 


He named Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin as her replacement. Hours before the announcement, Trump told Reuters he had no knowledge of the ad campaign, further distancing himself from the controversy that ultimately ended Noem’s role at the department.
