I have asked different government folks about the above mailing asking if it violates any election laws. My answers have varied. So, what do my readers think? Is this legal? THE ENTIRE MAILING HERE.
I would think mailing a REAL bill to a prospective donor is a no-no. But since when does Trump and his little dog killing sidekick ever follow rules?
Well it’s Monday, and the let’s just say a lot of things run down the hill.
STATE AUDITOR COULD BE IN BIG DOO DOO
The rumor going on in Pierre is that our state auditor acted alone when he rejected giving the governor’s credit card statements to most ETHICAL, partisan paper in town. I guess he was advised that if he continues to deny the documents he could be on the hook for his own legal fees if the state doesn’t win the case. It is pretty obvious to me he is doing this under the direction of the goat killer. IMO he will release the information right before it goes to court, which could be months.
COUNCILORS STILL WANT TO BUY THE RIVERLINE AND PUNISH TRANSIENTS
At the city council meeting tomorrow night, it is a short one, but they are busy coming up with new nuisance ordinances (that don’t solve the problem, only criminalizes loitering which puts the taxpayers on the hook for the justice costs) and they are going to still purchase the Riverline land with just a week delay. More trickery. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a hidden agenda item that authorizes the sale of the Delbridge collection, because that will be a middle of the night sale that no one will no about until after it is inked.
VETERANS PARKWAY ISN’T GETTING FEDERAL FUNDING
No surprise, it is NOT a worthy project and is unneeded. This is what it has always been, a boondoggle for developers that started with Huether and has continued with TenHaken. Maybe the Feds don’t want to give you the money because not only is the project not needed but it is possibly being built on stolen land. There was a hold out during the Huether administration and I guess MMM threatened a property owner if he didn’t sell. This person was NOT a wilting flower and I have a feeling they filed a complaint with the DOJ. This is likely the reason the Feds aren’t giving the money, oh and our politicians in SD are kinda dumb, and crooked.
GUN TRAFFICKING RING?
Besides the fact that our Police Chief looked like he just rolled out of bed at the latest presser, he tried to claim guns are getting stolen because of a sophisticated gun trafficking ring in Sioux Falls. Really? Is the ATF here helping you out with that? Give me a break. The problem isn’t some made up gang stealing guns, the problem is people are not locking their doors. Thum needs to lobby the council for better ordinances when it comes to stolen property, oh, and the cops need to actually investigate stolen property, it’s kind of part of your job. It would also be nice if you gave the public some information, ANY information at this point would be helpful.
So I was thinking, maybe the solution to our goose problem is shipping them off to Springfield, Ohio? Just keep the residents away from our dog parks. Those folks would have a feeding frenzy. Oh, Donny, the stories you weave.
AND IT CONTINUES TO PILE ON
While a certain dynamic duo in town seems to have the governor on the run with her credit card statements I got a chuckle out of what this news organization(?) had to say about why they are doing it;
COMBATTING SECRECY AND IGNORANCE
That’s rich considering these two hid investor information from the public when applying to be the legal newspaper of Sioux Falls, oh, and got the unethical council and SOS’s office in on your scam. Government SECRECY!? You make me laugh. Also, how do you combat ignorance? Ignorance is the lack of knowledge on any particular topic. So is this paper going to make the public more aware of the corruption in Pierre with their 4,000 subscriptions? I’m dying! Hopefully you will figure out what hair and nail salons Noem has been visiting these days. The public is DYING to know, just don’t give them the info in a gravel pit.
SPECIAL CONTRACTS FOR SPECIAL PEEPS
Well it was like Christmas for certain ad agencies in town last Tuesday at the City Council meeting;
Councilor Ryan Spellerberg brought two separate amendments Tuesday night – both of which passed unanimously and with minimal council discussion. One allocated $150,000 for a marketing campaign to encourage the public to donate to charities rather than to panhandlers.
Yes Kids, instead of actually taking REAL capital and spending it on bus tickets to help get these folks home or a street outreach program that picks these folks up at night we are giving the money to well connected ad agencies to tell us to NOT give to these folks. Talk about government ignorance!
With the recent closure of the Sioux City warming shelter we are in deep doo doo this winter. Instead of finding ways to ignore these folks, maybe come up with a plan for this winter, like NOW! I hate to say it, but I have a feeling we are going to be reading about a lot of homeless tragedies this winter.
I heard next week the council is going to fund a marketing campaign called, “Nothing to see here, move along.” it will be for discouraging folks to come to public input and public meetings.
SPEAKING OF DEAD GEESE
Not sure this ties in, but I don’t care. The city wants to see the entire Delbridge Collection sold as a group. Like I said, could care less about a bunch of dusty monkeys in Lenin’s Tomb, but there is some historic and scientific value to the collection and we should save it. I think we are missing a massive opportunity here to build a very unique exhibit, but instead we have to make sure the Mayor and his friends make money building a convention center we don’t need. SHINY BALL, MUST TOUCH!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In a rare Noem leadership moment it seems she has admitted to flubbing the National Guard response. In a short briefing just moments ago in front what appeared to be a gravel pit with the sound of a goat’s bell in the distance chiming she states;
“When I first made the decision to blame county commissioners for not sending out the National Guard, uh, I mean, tell people I’m short on cash, I mean, well, doesn’t matter I have decided to change course.”
One reporter asked if this has anything to do with the blowback she received because she sent the NG to Texas so why not to McCook?
“It had nothing to do with that, and once again the liberal legacy state media bias is bubbling up. I changed course because I realized the flood waters are stealing South Dakota jobs, smuggling drugs into our state (mostly fertilizer laced manure) and killing and raping our children. I have declared WAR on the flood waters.”
Noem quickly stormed off before taking any more questions with what appeared to be a trucker hat that read ‘MAKE SD DRY AGAIN’.
*This article was satire.
It was in 2009 when Noem was in the state legislature that I coined her the ‘Sarah Palin of South Dakota’. Little did I know at the time Noem’s political career would end the same as Palin’s.
The rumor all along is Noem wants the secretary of interior job if Trump get elected. Drill baby Drill. So while her elected positions may be done, she still may have a future in DC.
If Trump doesn’t get elected (I still keep telling peeps this is strike 3 for him, lost the popular vote in 2016, the popular and electoral in 2020 and he is going to lose again in 2024) she is pretty much over with. She will be some pundit on one of those right winger stations.
