It is what I think of as management by walking around. It's worthwhile; morale and mission are both enhanced. She gets to meet some of the people involved and hear directly from them what would help them the most. It does provide a photo op but that's to be expected.
It seems like people are whining about her doing this? "Border Patrol Barbie" or whatever. Sigh.
It appears that your view is the same as mine. ICE and the Border Patrol have been shit on for years, and especially in the last four. If she is out there with them doing the job with them, what better morale builder could there be?
She had no qualms about putting down a chicken killing "bird dog". It is hard to break a dog from killing chickens. Pretty tough lady, at least she is finding out what life is like for the horseback border patrol officers. I have been on the fence about her myself but give her kudos for at least showing up. Unlike Kamala the border czar.
I've been on the fence about her, too...I think she should pull her hair into a low ponytail for BP Operations. I have long hair, too and I would, it's not in the way and looks more 'get down to business'.
As a long time horse and dog breeder, the beauty contest was to showcase the animal, but you are right... when showing my dogs or horses my hair was either in a ponytail or bun. Those were the good old days.
Okay, this is just a photo op, otherwise she would have her hair up under that hat so it is not a safety risk. If she encountered bad guys or gals, all they would have to do is grab her hair and she would be helpless. Yes, she does get to meet the people under her and let them know she has their back, and she can ride too!
Hair up to ride as a safety issue? Hair up for a horse show, but if she is running into people that are tall enough to grab her hair there are other options before someone gets that close.
It is an interesting idea, but that's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
This is exactly what is wrong with America. Always worrying about safety and problems that are unlikely to happen. If she wants to ride with her hair down, then that is her choice to make. We really need to get back to what it means to be free Americans. You should be able to work however you want, taking any risk you are OK with.
I just can't figure out in what scenario long hair would be an issue. Engaging giants in hand to horse combat might be a problem. Wildest women riders are barrel racers and as far as I can tell they wear their hair any way they want.
Grab her hair? The only thing they’ll be grabbing is lead before they get within 100 yds! Notice the armed Border Patrol agents on top of the security detail that surrounds her?
Well, of course it’s a photo op. They don’t do operations. It’s a leadership show of support to the agents and show of resolve to the public. Two birds with one stone no-brainer, really.
'Photo op' has gotten a bad rap because they have been abused so much by corrupt and insincere politicians, bureaucrats and celebrities. But of course, its not the op that's bad, just the motivation and purpose. Heck, what was the Boss in a Garbage Truck except a photo op? Or Macdonalds? Certainly photo op dimensions.
But photo ops should be used for the benefit of all. Lift morale, encourage, inspire. DJT and Team - Making Photo Ops Great Again.
It has the same feel to me as the "fake as fuck" AOC "kids in cages" photoshoot back in Trump's first term.
However, I understand that it is not for me or for any of the Anons. This is for the sheeple, it is to demonstrate the power of MBWA (management by walking around). It must also be nice also for the border patrol people to be seen, recognized and taken seriously by leadership after having had to endure for 4 years being painted by the federal government leadership as "literally Hitler".
Regardless of how staged it is, it is infinitely better than every single second of the last 4 years.
I admire the passion of the dude that is defending his hill with gusto in this thread. kek
Twitter OP is the moran here. No she is not engaging with anybody. She's a skilled rider so why not take the opportunity? It looks good and it shows she's committed to her job and supporting the people carrying out boss's orders. Pretty simple.
This is disgusting and I'm disappointed she participated. We all know she isn't chasing anyone anywhere. This is no different than AOC posing in front of a fence. Nothing but an empty photo opportunity. So stupid. Actually use those resources to catch them not to larp.
Let's call a spade a spade. She isn't catching anyone. The cameras recording this moment are in the back of a truck. She could be in a truck and giving an interview and that'd look more legit. This is nothing but propaganda. I cannot believe some of you fall for this crap just like the ones yall call blind on the otherside.
What happened to that Q drop that said "they think you will follow the stars"? Are these people not the stars also? Look at all of the media surrounding them and pushing their image into the cosmos! How do you not see what's going on with this?
Actually as a ranching person with horses her whole life, going on horseback at the border is in character, rather than being a government official taking a little walk and getting their new boots muddy.
She isn't hunting anyone or anything. It's meaningless that she has any skills when she isn't using them. They only mean anything due to it increasing her image to those people who fall for this propaganda.
So..... you were against DJT at MacDonalds? Or in the Garbage Truck? What about holding up a Bible in front of a burned out Church?
Propaganda implies an objective to deceive, control or manipulate. But if something is intended to inspire, or encourage, is that propaganda? Perhaps. But that's also 5G warfare.
Motive and purpose are everything.
Ps. I really don't think she' pretending she's on a raid, bro. is she? "To Hunt Illegals..." is the headline by the X poster (and others). She's certainly out in the field, with actual field agents and/or their bosses.
What you think propaganda "implies" and what it actually is doesn't matter. The simple answer is YES. Those are all part of propaganda, intending to "inspire" is just you using flowery euphemismistic language to try to separate but they all fall under the propaganda umbrella. Here is a definition of propaganda for you.
"information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."
"Ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause"
The answer is yes I was against all that propaganda. Let your actions speak of you not some fictional act that you project in front of you to get those who can't determine truth to just follow.
Cool she's actually in the field on a horse. AOC was actually in a parking lot at an actual fence and we made fun of her for it. This is no different. There is no one for her to catch out there so wtf. Fake doctor Phil did more than she has.
OK. If we can agree that propaganda is not inherently negative or corrupted, but is neutral, and can be used for both good and bad purposes, then I can accept your referring to this as 'propaganda'.
But way to make an argument, bro... "What you think .... and what it actually is doesn't matter" Kek. Powerful rhetoric, there, dude. Actually, it DOES matter to me. Not to you? Sure. OK. If it doesn't matter to you, your choice. But not mine, and you do NOT get to choose what does and doesn't matter to me.
hey, we all get it. You think its horrible, and you think its the same as AOC outside a non-wall (we all laughed because she stood 2 meters away from non-wall and pretended she was at a place where people were prevented from travelling because of a blocking wall. Plus, most of us highly suspected that the tears were feigned). Your choice.
I think it pretty darn clear what the majority of frogs here think of your opinion. Now, I'm not suggesting you should change your opinion because its unpopular. But you MIGHT like to consider the views of others as a form of feedback. But again, the choice is yours.
Me? I find your arguments as convincing as a limp noodle.
As for Noem, I think she's simply saying, I'm here, I'm on the ground, I'm engaging with the folks doing their job. It's a photo op, and I do not see this as "propaganda", personally.
Anyway, at least you're engaging with the board and (I assume) trying to make a contribution. Hope to see you around more.
These are the same tactics the other side used. Q said not to follow people. Look at what they do. Positive or negative propaganda is still propaganda.
Consensus doesn't make truth. Consensus on "the science" led many to doing things they otherwise wouldn't so the number of people that agree with me doesn't impact what I'm saying. Peer pressure is powerful but it's ineffective as a method of control for me. Frogs here are supposed to be different than those others who deal in those types of methods. These are frogs specifically because they saw something that others couldn't.
Regarding me being around, I am trying to contribute. I see deception and manipulation, positive or negative, as a bad thing overall because you don't give the receiver the opportunity to choose. We are presented a fake world to get us to actually support and it's just strange to me. Thank you for continuing to engage on it.
I also sang "Night-riders in the Sky" and "Wayward Wind" 😆😁 and sang My Little Sheila" to my horse, changing it to my little Gala.
Sigh. Could we please turn time back.
At least we have someone LEADING by example instead of sitting at a desk in Washington not knowing if anything is being done! I suppose Tom Homan out with ICE made you sick too!
She isn't leading anything by example. She hasn't caught anyone. This is nothing more than propaganda just like AOC. She led by example but it didn't resonate with you bc you don't agree. This is the same exact thing just you agree with it.
She rides horses regularly. She’s be a good ranch hand. She rides, ropes, hammers and paint, does things with her hands that most men can’t, she can’t get ahead no matter how hard she tries, she’s getting..pretty good at barely getting byyyyy…
She doesnt do a damn thing with her hands that most men can't. She does nothing men can't do besides have children. Who cares if she has ridden horses and grew on a ranch. Nothing to do with the motives of this and how it's being gobbled up.
Border patrol has been shit on by their chain of command for 4 years. Have you ever seen any documentation of that lieing POS Mayorkas anywhere near a field agent? Much less a horse?
Yes it's a photo op, we all know it!!!! She is doing exactly what she needs to be doing! Letting them know their chain of command is backing them!!!!
It is what I think of as management by walking around. It's worthwhile; morale and mission are both enhanced. She gets to meet some of the people involved and hear directly from them what would help them the most. It does provide a photo op but that's to be expected.

OMG! She has a whip in her hand!!!!
AND a WHITE HAT! 💥
Not a whip; romal reins. That's a quirt you are seeing, just a quirt.

Agree, it's not a beauty contest.
Actually in horse shows one would wear hair up, but that IS a beauty contest.
As a long time horse and dog breeder, the beauty contest was to showcase the animal, but you are right... when showing my dogs or horses my hair was either in a ponytail or bun. Those were the good old days.
Up in a bun with a hairpiece. Stylin"
WHY a ponytail for goodness sakes?
Because if if we're clipped up makes it hard to wear her hat. She could also wear a low bun.
Why bother? Gets in the way of your hat, exposes your neck to sun. I mean you can if you would like to , but it isn't needed.
PICKY, PICKY, PICKY....why can't you say something about the mission instead of picking out something that is so "OBTUSE" as a DAMN PONY TAIL ??????
JEEZ LOUISE!!!!!!
She should have a gun in case any of the criminal wetbacks become violent.
Okay, this is just a photo op, otherwise she would have her hair up under that hat so it is not a safety risk. If she encountered bad guys or gals, all they would have to do is grab her hair and she would be helpless.

While its a photo op I enjoy it. Leaders should be on the frontlines periodically
