Well, he is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation so he probably has a bit of a different view about "illegal immigration" than the average guy.
He's a Republican so you automatically get all the garbage associated with modern-day Republicans but we all knew that Trump wouldn't appoint Bernie Sanders to the post.
IMHO, anyone or anything is better than Noem.
He literally tried to fight a guy in a committee hearing so I question his temperament.Well, he is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation so he probably has a bit of a different view about "illegal immigration" than the average guy.

America deserves someone with expert knowledge and experience in a role like that.

That worries me a lot less than his views on women and abortion and several other things. But look at the pool of candidates Trump selects from. It's heavily skewed in favour of the "deplorables."
Of course it does. It deserves a better president, a better cabinet, a better legislature a better supreme court but it has chosen what it has. Maybe it doesn't deserve better. It got what it asked for. Strangely we're not seeing as much buyer's remorse as we should be by now. That's a worry.

They've got a convicted felon (pardoned) as Ambassador to France. Do you expect more?

Markwayne appears to be 1/128 Cherokee by blood. Although, he is a citizen of Cherokee Nation as that tribe has no blood quantum requirements.
His lineage comes through a maternal great-grandfather, Bert Morris.
Did Markwayne Mullin Forget Who He Is?

How many generations back is 1/128?

An inheritance of 1/128 is equal to 0.78125% of your total DNA, typically representing a 5x great-grandparent.
In genealogy, each generation further back roughly halves the amount of DNA you inherit from a specific ancestor. A fraction of 1/128 corresponds to the seventh generation before you (where you are generation zero).
1/2 (50%): Parent
1/4 (25%): Grandparent
1/8 (12.5%): Great-grandparent
1/16 (6.25%): 2x Great-grandparent
1/32 (3.125%): 3x Great-grandparent
1/64 (1.5625%): 4x Great-grandparent
1/128 (0.78125%): 5x Great-grandparent
Key Considerations:
Recombination: Because DNA is shuffled randomly during meiosis, you may inherit slightly more or less than exactly
from a specific ancestor at this distance.
Genetic Ghosting: At the 1/128 level, there is a small statistical possibility that you inherited no DNA at all from that specific ancestor, even though they are a confirmed part of your family tree.

Congress has unintentionally shifted the burden of preventing an unconstitutional war squarely onto the military. By failing to exercise its war powers,warontherocks.com
This has been by Executive design and collusion with the majority of Congress. It is not ‘unintentional’ at all…
