WOW! NOEM says she has ARRESTED ANTIFA founder's GIRLFRIEND! Buffy Antifa is in ICE CUSTODY!

A dramatic claim by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to have arrested “the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa,” therefore putting the Trump administration in position to “eliminate” the leftwing “network,” was dismissed by both the activist the arrested woman was said to have dated and a leading expert on such leftwing groups.

“I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not now, nor have I ever been, the ‘founder’ of ‘Antifa’ — in Portland [Oregon], the United States, or anywhere else,” said Luis Enrique Marquez, the activist, in a statement on a website promoting a book.

“It’s an absurd claim, no matter how they try to frame it,” Stanislav Vysotsky, an associate professor of criminology at the University of Fraser Valley in British Columbia, told Raw Story.

Nonetheless, Noem’s trumpeting of the arrest of Katherine Vogel, 39, showed the administration’s determination to make headlines as it seeks to paint “antifa” activists as a danger to the American public, and Portland as the supposed base of such groups.

Wed Oct 15, 2025, 08:58 AM
Oct 15

And what is that supposed terrorist threat? The "core tenets of antifascism, the memorandum claims, include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."

Trump and his fascist mob are trying to outlaw dissent, defining it as "terrorism."

She has jumped the shark, BIG time. Her political future just went into the wood chipper. Even the scum on the Dark Side of the Aisle won't be able to save her from this one, and the corrupt SCOTUS' coronation of Trumpleforeskin doesn't extend to the likes of her.

That's the problem with certain Christian denominations. "Once saved, always saved," according to some. Using their thought process, a person can spiritually get away with murder after swearing they have accepted Jesus into their hearts and worship him as Lord and Savior.

An organization like the Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which there is not a well funded secret organization in the background, pulling all the strings, so they make one up called Antifa.
An organization like the Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which there is not a billionaire or billionaires, in the background, funding events and paying protestors and social media bots, so they attack the most noted Jewish billionaire that aligns with the Democratic Party, Soros.

The Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which anyone isn't lying, cheating, being unethical or just generally being a racist, misogynistic xeno-purist.
Their default position is one of hate and violence and lies.

No one stays that thin without some metabolic disturbance and the concomitant psychological/physiological effects.

Also, I have experience with diagnosed schizophrenic patients who have had plastic surgery to fix their faces because what the see in the mirror is affected by their visual hallucinations.

She's scary. Exponentially so as a "person of authority" in her position. But then aren't they all in the current crop?
