America was made a little more secure last week by Kristi Noem’s early departure from the Department of Homeland Security. But her family’s federally subsidized income remains secure. Her husband Bryon continues to suckle at the government teat selling crop insurance, a federally subsidized racket that diverts 23% of its payments to the pockets of corporate middlemen like Bryon:
Farm insurance policies are projected to pay out $17.4 billion this year in indemnities. Thus, farmers are expected to receive a net payment of $9.6 billion ($17.4 billion – $7.8 billion [in premiums paid]). The CBO expects similarly large net payments to farmers in coming years, so these are subsidies, not insurance. Even with the generous benefits, some farmers defraud the system for extra gains.
In 2026, the government is expected to pay the insurance companies $5.1 billion, including $2.4 billion for administrative costs and $2.7 billion for underwriting gains. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the 12 crop insurance firms earn profits far above market rates. It seems very inefficient that to give farmers a subsidy of $9.6 billion, taxpayers also have to pay $5.1 billion to corporate middlemen [Chris Edwards, “Federal Crop Insurance,” Cato Institute: CATO at Liberty, 2026.03.19].
The crop insurance money that doesn’t stop in Bryon’s pocket will accrue disproportionately to the wealthiest farmers:
…There are no income limits on crop insurance subsidies. As a result, the subsidies flow heavily to the top end. One American Enterprise Institute analysis found that the largest 10 percent of farms receive 56 percent of all crop insurance subsidies.
GAO has reported that 1,341 crop insurance recipients have annual incomes of more than $900,000, and that even some billionaires receive the subsidies [Edwards, 2026.03.19].
That’s your tax dollars at work, making sure Bryon Noem and millionaire farmers stay rich when misfortune comes their way.
In red states like South Dakota freedom equals the right to pollute. Moral hazard is the flip side of self-reliance and the heavily subsidized industry knows emergency declarations will provide bailouts for those who choose risk because Republican welfare farmers are the real ecoterrorists who hate subsidies unless they benefit from them.
You know all those pubs are looking for fraud and waste to cover Trumps war request. Just send this article to all those rural red state senators. I’m sure they will follow up on this one.
Oh and watch out for poor Bryon. He wasn’t able to go along with Kristi to the Caribbean so Lewandowski had to fill in.

I almost guarantee that she and her team leaked the photos. She is out of MAGA favor. She needs to get back in front of the camera in her costumes. This gives her an out from her marriage, and makes her appear to be the victim. She “had to have an affair with Lewandowski because her husband wasn’t interested.” And to be honest, I hate that a person who lives an alternate lifestyle is being outed this way and has probably lived his whole life keeping this a secret. He was quiet, not in the news. On the other hand, he has benefited from her crooked deals, knowing she is crooked.
It seems there are some large breasted women who may sow many crops.
The perversion of claiming to be conservative and fighting the Democratic Party’s alleged effort to control people by making them subservient to government handouts while making a living off federal farm subsidies is far greater than the unlikely kinkiness alleged in the story Larry mentions. Bryon is still a handsome and well-liked dude back home; if he wanted sexual gratification, he could more easily go the bar and pick up some nice former cheerleader. I just don’t think that level of kink is native to Hamlin County. the leaked photos are more likely a smear job put up by Corey Lewandowski and maybe Kristi Noem herself to discredit Bryon in divorce proceedings and shield her assets from his divorce lawyers. It also looks more like the kind of thing Lewandowski would cook up: he probably chortles over cuckolding Bryon; now the adulterer dreams up a smear campaign visually emasculating his rival.
Come on Cory, the bimbofication is both man and wife. Its a family thing.
What was he supposed to do while Kristi was getting mounted in DC and seemingly everywhere else? Hell, it’s enough to drive a man to drink huge “jugs” of wine made from “melons.” Maybe even a “milkshake” if it’s hot. Probably best to go blow off some steam filling the hay “rack” to feed the “milkers.” Then relax on the porch listening to the “hooters” as night falls.
These two frauds have weaponized Christianity to punch down at countless “others,” including those with sexual proclivities they’ve been hypocritically partaking in all along. And that’s so on brand for members of the “every accusation is a confession” American Taliban. Let your freak flag fly, Bry!
What goes around comes around. An illegal leaked the information.

I apologize; I should not have printed that. Crossdressing is a fetish and not necessarily a homosexual interaction.
It’s just that Republicans claim to be virtuous heterosexuals, cowboy lifestyle and macho man. And to them, it’s all lip service “do as I say and not as I do.” So, to divert from their own sexual fetish, deviancy, or perversion, they attack those who are obviously not heterosexuals. And of course, if you are of the Epstein class, well that’s on another level. A ticket to hell.
I really don’t care what “ordinary” people wear or do behind closed doors. But I do care that Republicans have made it their business to know about me and what I do as a woman.
Thanks, HydroGuy, I needed that.
As a fan “RuPaul’s Drag Race” (I watched it regularly when it was on) I can tell you Bryon is a poor excuse for a transvestite: no mascara, eyelashes, lipstick? Pathetic. True drag is a form of artistic expression. It’s a lot of work and must be done with style.
Anyway, I am still trying to find my latex full-head white rabbit mask by Saturday and having no luck.
It is not with the pink and white striped bib overalls, not with the long blue dress and rocking chair,( the two costumes it goes with) nor with my witch costume, nor my Mrs Claus outfit.
I am now wondering if I should plan to wear the inflatable T-rex suit instead, with bunny ears from the Dollar Tree.
my only complaint about drag is that it is the new blackface, it is demeaning to women, because the queens adopt the most obnoxious characteristics of high-maintenance females and exaggerate them.
But their styling skills rock.
Irony is simply collateral damage when Earth haters like Mrs. Beal defend other Earth haters.
Crossdressing is different than drag. Some crossdressers may wear women under garments and their manly man clothes over them. Who would know? They don’t want to dress like women to do a show, it’s a way of life. Drag stems from the old days of theater when women were not allowed to perform, so men dressed up as women. It was totally acceptable for hundreds of years. The word transvestite has been replaced by crossdresser.
And by the way, sexual deviancy (other than the social norm) has been around since the beginning. There are cross cultural taboos on rape and incest however.
