Kristi Noem's Purse Snatcher Gets Snatched
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was enjoying a family dinner at The Capital Burger in Washington DC on Easter Sunday. Her $4,400 Gucci bag was nestled by her feet and brimming with $3,000 in cash as well as a Louis Vuitton wallet. Also included was her passport, DHS badge, and more—it was basically a jackpot for the thief.
That thief was Mario Bustamante-Leiva, a 49-year-old Chilean career criminal and illegal immigrant with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt. He had been dodging deportation for years. Bustamante-Leiva is a pro at snatching purses from DC’s swanky spots, and when he saw Noem’s Gucci bag he couldn’t resist another heist. He slid into the seat next to Noem, used his foot to drag the bag like he is auditioning for Ocean’s Eleven, draped a jacket over it, and poof!—he was gone before Noem realized her grandkids weren’t to blame for the quick brush against her leg. The irony? This guy unknowingly picked the pocket—er purse—of the woman leading the charge for border security and deportations. Talk about a cosmic facepalm........
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

Texas, meet your would-be Senator:
A woman who never met a microphone she didn’t French-kiss, a grievance she didn’t adopt, or a Republican she couldn’t reduce to a racist caricature faster than you can say “Remember the Alamo” (And if the Alamo offends somebody she’ll want it torn down).
”So strap in, Lone Star patriots. The 2026 Senate race just got a new theme song, and it goes a little something like this:
♫ Running for Senate—she was born to grouse
Loudest gabbing mouth in the whole damn House,
Kilt her a bill when she was only three,
Huge eyelashes are helping her to see…
Jasmine… Jasmine Crockett, Queen of the Ghetto Frontier! ♫
