Noem Flies to Florida Again for GOP Fundraiser

Governor Kristi Noem continued to do her real job last week, jetting herself and her baggy-cuff jeans to a fundraiser in Alachua, Florida on Thursday, October 12 to bore another crowd of Republicans:

The Alachua County Republican Executive Committee (REC) hosts the Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jean Barbeque annually. For the last several years, this event has been held in the newly constructed Legacy Park Multipurpose Center in Alachua.

This year marked the 21st annual Black Tie and Blue Jean Barbeque and dawned a special guest appearance from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who is considered a leading Vice-Presidential running mate for the Republican ticket in 2024 [Micah Page, “An Annual Event Draws Many Different Politicians to Alachua County,” WUFT, 2023.10.13].

Maybe if Noem did more of these public appearances in South Dakota, more South Dakotans would consider her a leading candidate for Vice-President.

    who’s the ham hock?

    Wow, Tom. Misogyny, much?

  3. Ryan 2023-10-18 12:58

    misogyny has become an interesting word without definition. these days it appears to mean “the act of picking on any woman for any reason, with or without motive.”

    also, people who wear suit jackets or blazers with jeans look so dumb.

    Right now I am partaking of garden fresh baked Burbank Russet and a hamburger patty with cheese smothered in butter and thick and chunky salsa. Sounds infinitely better than barbequed black ties and blue jeans.

    LewdandLusty anywhere to be seen in Floriduh?

  5. Rambler 2023-10-18 13:19

    Maybe I’m just too naive but how is it that so many folks in Florida, Texas and other places have so much money to give to 3rd rate politicians.

  6. Noem's nemesis 2023-10-18 14:55

    It is curious that Noem wasn’t inclined to splash this particular appearance all over her twitter accounts, despite having been prominently featured in the event’s advertising. Perhaps she thinks her South Dakota fan base is beginning to feel neglected when she makes her political field trips.

    Better not get too many local reporters mentioning the Veep stuff or the LewdAndLusty (love that, epo!) Rope will be cinched tighter by her Frenemies.

    Agree that the ‘ham hock’ comment a little out of place for this blog. Now the baggy cuff jeans, dont care who wears them, yuck!

  8. M 2023-10-18 17:38

    What’s with Republicans and BBQ?

  9. grudznick 2023-10-18 18:16

    I rather like the outfit. Most becoming. grudznick likes the ham hock too.

  10. P. Aitch 2023-10-18 19:14

    grudznixk is calling names? My, my. I can tolerate a lot of things in a blog but a self-righteous hypocrite is beyond the pale.
    Here’s the “hypocrite g’s” post calling names like a Catholic school boy, again. He’s rampant with his crude behavior.

    grudz typed: “Is Mr. Nebelsick a money-grubbing school formula guy, or a boot licking fat-cat administrator sort of guy?”

    Your integrity is soiled beyond repair. Take a month, grudz.

    A thinking man would suspect the “Big Lewd” was hanging around too.

    At this transitional time of year believe it is appropriate to use ham hock in everyday conversing as I have pinto beans and great northern beans dieing for some salty companionship in my crock pot. I will settle for smoked pork shanks if no ham hocks are to be found.

  13. Richard Schriever 2023-10-19 11:35

    Even I know how to take up the hem on jeans I accidently bought too long.

    Rambler – consider this – the stretch of the Southern CA coast between Santa Barbara and San Diego is about 235 miles. All but a 50 or so miles of it is subdivided into residential or commercial lots (typically 8- feet wide and 150 feet deep). Good luck finding ONE empty lot for under $1M. Now, ask again “where does the money come from?” Yes, SD’ns are quite naive about how much money there is in the world, and what actual wealth and poverty are relative to their own daily lives.

  15. Richard Schriever 2023-10-19 11:41

    80 feet wide.

  16. jkl 2023-10-19 13:36

    People who feel intellectually inferior call others “ham hock” as a defense mechanism and as a way to cope with their own feelings of insecurity – shame – envy and lack of self- appreciation.

  17. jerry 2023-10-19 16:31

    Mr. Schriever, you could build at least 3 shotgun houses on that 80 foot wide lot and have room on each side of the houses. We need to build smaller and those worked in the past.

  18. O 2023-10-19 18:43

    I can openly admit my second to Ryan’s comment: jeans and suit jackets runs a chill up my spine as well. Yuck! What is that fashion statement even trying to say?

  19. larry kurtz 2023-10-19 19:12

    Are there any Republican blogs in South Dakota? I can’t find any.

  20. Jennifer BG 2023-10-19 20:46

    Focus on her pathetic grasp on what her job is suppose to be.
    Don’t waste time, effort, and airtime on her “fashion” choices.
    It takes the attention off of what really matters and deflects. It gives her supporters a way to ignore the reality right in front of them.

  21. CD Wooten 2023-10-21 17:07

    Guess thus is not real news. Just bitchy people who fear the truth.

  22. Cory Allen Heidelberger Post author | 2023-10-22 09:47

    CD Wooten is taking a lazy cheap shot. CD Wooten is also mistaken. Noem did actually fly to Florida for a GOP fundraiser instead of sticking around the office to do the job South Dakota taxpayers pay her to do. That’s news. That’s truth. And I don’t fear the truth; CD Wooten apparently does.

  23. e platypus onion 2023-10-22 11:59

    Jennifer BG, fashion is Noem’s one trick pony. That is all she has. That is all she is and does. That and possibly cheats on her husband.
