TenHaken’s comment about Culture Wars shows his ignorance on how laws are made and his greed

He also is a poor leader and a closed government militant. How can you run a city when you don’t even know how a law is made?

Soye (R)-Sioux Falls, wrote a column that said the government has a role to “protect the vulnerable.”

“Any law that is passed is someone’s morality, it is, it’s a moral judgment by the people who are in power at the time,” Soye said.

While I do think things like bathroom bills are wrong, the legislature would be the government entity addressing it. Maybe Paul needs to shadow our REAL mayor for a few days and see how she is running the town (COS Beck).

He also asserts that the only thing Pierre needs to do is send Sioux Falls money. His greed is insatiable, but what would you expect from someone who practices Prosperity Gospel.

Last Tuesday at the City Council Informational (FF 1:30:00) Councilor Barranco sort of addressed this with his commentary about his city representation on the Municipal League. Basically talked about how towns outside of Sioux Falls kind of detest us because of the elitism in City Hall (he didn’t say it like that, but you get the jist). He also talked about trying to mend those fences.

As we watch what is going on in DC and the dysfunctional Republican Party I will say it again; Republicans know how to win elections, especially in SD, but they have no idea how to govern once they win.

What’s going on at Dakotanews?

On Monday ‘KSFY’ posted this job ad;

I have been suspicious for awhile that the experiment they are running at DN will hit aground. Over the past couple of months I have noticed that their website is ‘glitchy’ and stories and vids don’t match up. I have also noticed half-ass production on the live broadcasts with mics cutting out, teleprompters not working (because the on-air talents have to wing it) and recently Brian Allen cancelled his ‘Matters of the State’ program with little explanation. Now they are looking for a News Director. I have asked some people who have ties to DN and they said ‘They may be downsizing thru attrition’. I didn’t think I would say this since I have gotten pretty beaten up by the media while they lift my story leads, but I am worried about our media being attacked as ‘fake news’ and now the future Orange Menace Whitehouse Occupant wants to start suing news organizations who said bad things about him (which are completely true). ABC caving to him was disgusting. I wonder if anyone at that organization has read about the lead up to power in the 1930’s in Germany. They are virtually using the same playbook and the news orgs are bailing. I was glad to hear that Gannet will fight the polling lawsuit, they should win, but our courts have become ‘Trump’ courts. I have always concluded the best way to fight this BS is to double down on the criticism and keep hammering until you can’t hammer anymore.

Did Sioux Falls City Councilor Curt Soehl forget what he used to do?

Curtist the Blurtist was blurting and curting last night at the city council meeting about the proposed GIGANTIC TRUCK ordinance. Kermit Soehl was the only councilor to vote against it, mainly because Curt owns one of these aircraft carriers on wheels. The big argument of the night was public safety and it is pretty straight forward, but Curt wasn’t having it saying that it would cause an economic downturn in DTSF, as if only big truck drivers are the only ones who spend money downtown. It was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard a councilor say, oh wait, forgot about Countcilor Jensen. But the shocking part about Curt’s vote is he was a former firefighter and president of the firefighters union. I would think he understands ‘Public Safety’ but I guess once you become a insurance peddler those things don’t matter anymore. I hope Curt runs for mayor, he will end up DEAD LAST!

INFORMATIONAL MEETING

At the informational several folks with Sioux Falls Sustainability(?) made comments about the building codes and how they need to focus on energy efficiency. I have heard several stories about newer apartment buildings in town with little to no insulation. One friend told me his mom was paying $150 a month in heat in a 800 square foot apartment. If that apartment was properly insulated and in the center of the building there should be little heating costs.

These are the kind of morons running our state

Want to know why South Dakota is dead last in almost every economic category, because we have morons like this running our state government.

While I understand State Auditor Rich Saddass is a proud Repug, why would you share this stupid meme that has been around for years! I also like how the quote perfectly describes Donny T., you know the convicted felon, rapist, adulterer, and racist running for president.

Instead of sharing awful memes that have been around for years, maybe you need to do your job and turn over Noem’s nail and hair salon receipts. The story in Pierre is that the AG told Saddass turn them over because he had no legal authority to hide them from the public. While I am not sure if that convo took place, we know Mr. Jackboots isn’t a big fan of Noem ever since she handed him his ass in the primaries after he tried to cover up sexual harassment at the DCI.

While some may think there is a tropical island that is actually floating garbage, the real GARBAGE PIT is in Pierre.

When I worked at the Pavilion, the comedian Carrot Top came and when he was setting up his props on stage before the show he asked if I could help him with a punchline. He asked me, “What is the most white trash city in South Dakota?” I laughed and said, “That list is very long sir.” He says, “C’mon, there has to be a town that is the most white trash.” I giggled and said, “Fort Pierre.” He used the punchline and it got gobs of laughs.
