I just got a call from a polling firm based out of N Sioux City SD (based on my caller ID). Â It asked if I would support Noem or one of the following Dem opponents, either Sutton, Huether, or Seiler.
I had heard about a week ago that there was going to be polling out there in an effort to push Sutton into the race. But what I find interesting is they would include someone who I thought was now a registered Indy (MMM) and someone who lost to Rumblestrips. While they were at it, why didn’t they also mention Michelle Erpenbach 🙁
I will admit, it was refreshing to read this humorous article about South Dakota Trusts. It all starts with some digs on Noem, EB-5, Gear-Up, etc.;
Corey Lewandowski. Read it all here: (The Bulwark; The Daily Beast) BTW, Ian Fury, Noem’s official spokesperson, said “Corey was always a volunteer, never paid a dime (campaign or official).” To which I instantly responded, “So, you are saying that he did it for love.”
Is that what Repugs call love? Unfortunately, YES!
Now I am proud to say that in one way, I actually broke this story, on SleuthSayers, back on June 20, 2012. It’s just that no one listened. As the once and (probably) future AG Marty Jackley once told me, “Call me when there’s a crime.”
I think Jackboots had that line disconnected after Dep SOS Pitty Pat and SOS Jason Gunt left office.
Unless you live under a rock or are dumber than* our governor (or related to her) you know that the Trusts don’t benefit average South Dakotans one iota, it doesn’t even benefit main street or the government coffers in Pierre. There is a select group of banksters, bondsters and all around scammers making money from this and the cavemen and Betty Rubbles running our state house don’t have a clue about the laws they are passing.
I can feel all that liberty and freedom making me dumber by the minute.
So we have been seeing a lot of stories about abortion these days. From our governor proposing primitive and unconstitutional laws to protests from both sides of the aisle and rallies.
I guess my question is when is our local media going to pony up and just do a poll of South Dakota voters? Heck, they could even join forces and use the Poli-Sci departments at the public universities to help conduct it.
I think the results in South Dakota would be the same as the rest of the country. Most people support legal abortion as long as it is within a reasonable window of time.
I will tell you why the media won’t touch it, they like the controversy. Even though South Dakotans have voted twice to preserve prochoice in our state there seems to be this attitude in the media that we are split 50/50 on the topic. I don’t believe it for a moment.
Let’s just pretend for a brief moment that the allegations of an affair did not come to light. To tell you the truth, it would not matter because the other scandals are piling up;
• Misuse of State Airplane
• Nepotism and using tax dollars to pay off a whistle blower
• Federal investigation of National Guard donation
• Paying state prisoners 50 cents per hour to build elaborate $9,000 desk
The sad part is this comes after the ‘volunteer’ advice from a guy who Trump recently fired. TRUMP FIRED HIM!!!!
You do know Kristi, just because you didn’t pay him, doesn’t mean the advice doesn’t have a price. You and mostly South Dakotans are suffering because of this scumbag Trumpian. Even your own staffers are disgusted with him.
Your leadership abilities certainly should be questioned after taking ‘volunteer’ advice from this dude. Birds of a Feather flock together, now it’s time to fire our own Dodo Bird, Kristi Noem.
Multiple sources have informed American Greatness that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski, who previously served as a campaign manager for Donald Trump. The alleged fling reportedly has continued for months, sources say
Trust me, I didn’t gasp when I read it. This ‘rumor’ has been floating around the statehouse and Pierre for over a year. I would just like to know who the sources were? A disgruntled former Noem employee? A state legislator(s)?
It could be a lie for all we know. So I challenge Noem to sue them for slander. If it is NOT true, prove it to a judge. Pressler won a similar suit when he was accused of being gay.
Whether it is true or not, I could care less about Noem’s sex life. This is an obvious attempt by some conservatives across the country to discount Noem as a presidential candidate, which is funny, because I thought you had to be a known cheater before you were granted the nomination in either party. If I were these wingnut dissenters, I wouldn’t be too worried.
Watching her interview on Newsmax last night was enough to prove she doesn’t have what it takes to be president. In her 50 minute interview she lied about Reagan helping farmers (he destroyed small family farms and the middle class), lied about her death taxes (she has received millions in federal farm subsidies), lied about Covid Mandates in the state (several communities across SD had mandates) lied about the Reservations smuggling drugs for the Mexican Cartel (yet uses our tax dollars to sue the voters over passing Rec MJ) and lied about all the Freedom we have in South Dakota because we believe in God and have Faith. I know, Batty stuff.
What I found ironic is that Noem probably spent tax dollars to fly to California to do a LIVE town hall. Why can’t SDPTV host a live Townhall, right here in South Dakota? Well the answer was obvious. NO ONE asked any questions that were controversial. Like why is she asking Ravnsborg to resign or why she used tax dollars to silence a whistle blower.
I don’t entirely blame Noem for all the issues in our state. This is what happens when you have one party rule for over 50 years, nothing gets done for the people because there is NO bi-partisan discussions on laws. I had to laugh this morning when people were calling into Belfrage’s show defending Noem for firing the appraiser director. Many people called about how the appraisers in South Dakota are corrupt and in cahoots with the realtors. GET OUT! They also believed that Noem could fix it. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you really think the SD GOP who consists mostly of realtors and land dealers are going to fix a system that is rigged for them? You truly are naïve.
I’ll say the same thing about Noem as I say about Trump. I knew what I was getting when both of them were elected, but what baffles me is how people consistently defend their immense stupidity and lies.
