Not sure if you blame a mild winter, but the goose population DTSF is exploding. This is a family I believe of 12-13 goslings and there was another one with 10 goslings. Most of the time they only have 2-4 but while riding the trail DTSF this spring it is like a sea of yellow. Oh, and don’t get to close unless you want the mother to take a bite out of you. Mean poopy pants birds.

“What you doing today Bob?”

“I’m going eat a little grass, I’m going to hiss at folks and then I’m going to crap all over the bike trail.”

Surprised the city council didn’t hire a $50K consultant to figure out why the birds poop on the trail. I have suggested to the city council they give Kristi a holler and see if she still has anymore bird killing dogs, or better yet, just let her have at it. Bang. Bang.

I unintentionally brought this topic up the other night at the City Council meeting (FF: 2:44:00) during the Sculpture Walk presentation.

When a select group of individuals, let’s call them autocrats pick public art without a public process, that is called Propaganda;

As stated in the 2018 book, Remodern America: How the Renewal of the Arts Will Change the Course of Western Civilization:

“There are important distinctions between art and propaganda. Although both are forms of visual communication, their aims are completely different. Great art explores the mysteries of human experience. Propaganda seeks to influence an intellectual decision by stirring up obscuring clouds of emotionalism.

“Strong art reaches universal, shared experience by honestly presenting the results of self-exploration. Propaganda seeks to substitute that universal appeal with the presentation of ideology it assumes to be commonly held by all right-thinking people.”

Propaganda is distortion, intended to drive the audience into a pre-determined conclusion. It is far removed from the mysterious communion genuine art provides.

And here is something I have known for a very long time;

Our cultural institutions no longer provide us knowledge, education, real news, or responsible governance. We are enmeshed in an entire ecosystem of lies, sustained by the media, the academy, Big Tech, sellout corporations, and traitorous politicians. The monopoly is enforced by censorship and retaliations. You would think by observing the actions of the New Aristocracy of the Well Connected, our Constitutional Republic is dead; all that remains is for them to loot and oppress the rest of us into oblivion.

Ecosystem of Lies. Maybe we can name our next bridge in Sioux Falls that? Kind of has a nice ring to it.

So after our governor denies an affair with a total jerk, sends National guard and her dental care to Texas, abuses the state airplane and state employees and decides to go on a shooting spree of farm creatures the South Dakota Democratic Party decided someone, heck anyone needs to be taken to the woodshed;

“At a time when Gov. Noem once again lacks a chief of staff, action must be made to hold individuals accountable for what can only be described as an utter failure in doing the basics of a public relations job,” Merrill and Meyers wrote in the joint statement. “Fury should not have allowed the publication of the Governor’s recent book without proper fact-checking and review.”

HUH? While I will agree Ian is a waste of taxdollars and mostly ‘space’ in general, why aren’t you asking for the head of the one responsible: OUR GOVERNOR! The Dems along with the help of some Republicans should impeach the governor based on several allegations. While I would agree Ian needs to go, that is Kristi’s decision. The real knucklehead that needs to go is the goat killer in the corner office. When are the Dems going to figure it out? Go for the jugular. If this would have happened in a Blue or Purple state, she would already be gone.

I guess the best part is her political career is over. Everyone knows Trump needs a loyalist and a Southerner as his VP running mate. Why on earth would he pick someone from the reddest state in the Midwest? What would be the benefit?

Well, I think Jodi just crushed every food truck story for the year, so now our TV media in town can actually follow REAL news stories, you know, like that puppy killer that runs our state (into the ground).

This was the mayor’s reaction after my general public input;

It was refreshing to comment on several agenda items tonight, you can fast forward thru, but at general public input (FF: 4:05) I told the council they need to do more defending their city clerk and the job he is doing, because he is being mislead by the city attorney’s office and the administration. I also brought up that the city council has a DUTY to reprimand their fellow colleagues, and they need to reprimand Marshall Selberg for living ILLEGALLY out of his district. While citizens are aligned and willing to put forth ethics complaints, it is really the duty of the council to reign in their fellow councilors. We will see. While COUNCILOR and CHICKENSH!T are spelled differently they are one in the same on this deal.

Also, a frequent public inputer handed me this when the Parks Department was talking about master plans. I asked them, “Is this the new city charter?”
