Support Dakota Free Press—Ring the Blog Tip Jar Today!

Last updated on 2021-09-22

Free is Dakota Free Press‘s middle name. Free means many things (and not what Kristi Noem thinks it does), but here, it means this blog costs you nothing to read and share.

I never have put up a paywall, and I never will.

Nonetheless, I take contributions and sell ad space to pay for computer gear (of particular importance: tablet and folding keyboard so I can blog to you from the trail without missing a beat) and cover more robust web hosting to handle all of you readers’ eager clicking and commenting (including an upgrade at the beginning of this month to clean up some comment glitches and better support a huge database now archiving a whopping 179,800 comments!). Your cash helps makes this blog better.

If you would like to support the work and values of Dakota Free Press, just ring the Blog Tip Jar! You’ll get my hearty thanks, and you’ll continue to get the best political, economic, epidemiological, judicial, and philosophical commentary and analysis on big issues affecting South Dakota, plus practical political advice, advocacy, and unabashed Legislative nerdiness. You’ll get the most detailed and best researched take-downs of Kristi Noem’s horsehockey and rebuttals to other professional manure spreaders. And you’ll get independent thinking, not puff pieces and press releases from the powers that be.

You like that kind of blogging? Cool! Then keep reading. There’s much more to come, all for free.

And if you really, really like that kind of blogging, well, ring the Blog Tip Jar, and let me put your money to work producing South Dakota’s most interesting, entertaining, and useful political blog every darn day!
