Noem and her most well-known paramour is old news now. Though others got the credit/blame for this being in the mainstream news shortly after DJT was in Rapid City this past fall, I think it was her own campaign that put this out. Being old news, it would less likely hinder her chance at a VP nod.
You may have upcoming stories garnering more views, Mr. H. Use of the Future Fund AKA Governor’s Slush Fund may be one. The recent Future Fund contribution to a group formed this spring and headed by US senator John Thune’s
son-in-law comes to mind. One of the partners in this group is an outfit wanting to build the CO2 pipeline. South Dakota is working hard to maintain the status of one of tbe most corruot states in the Union.
Thanks for all you do here, Cory!
Time to drop another tip in the jar. Cory, that Joel Koskan story was going nowhere until you put the court record online before it got sealed and stuffed away. Justice, as close to justice as you can get in a rape case, was served. The Pierre Insiders game got short-circuited. It’s a prime example of what your contribution has been to a more effective South Dakota journalism. Thank you very much for your great work, as always.
Mr. Spier, Would you be speaking of Luke Lindberg, husband of Brittany Thune? He’s apparently a bright little whippersnapper who is coming up in the world and especially in South Dakota —
https://southdakotatrade.com/luke-lindberg
Yes Cory, I would definitely like to see some follow-up on that lead; and Happy New Year Greetings to you both!
Yes, Mr. Mowry, that is the name of the gentleman I spoke of.
Thank you to Mr. H who provides a public discussion forum where I have not noticed that differing thoughts are censored or removed like some other places. I also appreciate that most writers are identified by their real name or a handle other than anonymous.
Future Fund might be something the SD legislature needs to closely examine as past uses have been rightly questioned and maybe highly questionable.
The new campaign finance reports should be coming soon. I expect 4 time US Senator John Thune’s massive war chest to be surpassed by the totals of Noem’s state and federal hope chests. It is always interesting to see how and where funds flow.
A Healthy Happy New Year to you two and the others here!
Dave Spier
Mr Spier, My name is and always has been, yours for the asking. I used to blog under mike from iowa and I will return to that moniker soon. My name is Mike and I am and always have been an iowan in iowa. One final noite, there are a handful of trolls on here who will never get my name from me, for security reasons.
Thank you for that, Mr. Mike. I am a real Republican and I know my viewpoints often differ from you and many others, including Mr. H, on here, but that should not prevent us from having respectful discussion. There are many issues we do agree on and possibly we are all more alike than we are different.
I have little problem discussing issues with my local democrat/independent/ libertarian/republican/etc friends or people I don’t know.
It is people in political offices, no matter what party, that I have issues with. Right now in South Dakota, most politicians in office carry an “r” by their name. The childish, immature, hateful behavior and language, the abuse of perceived and real power, the misuse of public funds, and worse and more from these public servants/employees are actions I have little tolerance for.
At times you may see me talk/write harshly with that kind, but I strive not to do that with a regular common person like I am.
Koskan should have got 30 years. His privilege even showed in his sentence. And all those Mellette county repubs STILL voted for him.
Mr. Spier: as a former member of the GOP I can sympathize with your position, but the Party is definitely suffering from too much success. To maintain its’ success, its’ huge majority in elections, the Party leadership is forced to cover too much political ground, literally the Big Tent it occupies is now full to the brim with constituents demanding adoption of legislation which is counter to what the GOP used to strive to deliver…Good Government. Instead, the GOP legislative agenda is full of bills seeking to satisfy fringe elements in the Party, who are loud, demanding, and divisive, and whose interests have little to do with a sound business environment, equality under the law, or a conservative, but productive tax policy which supports the building of vital infrastructure. With the Democrat Party reduced to a skeleton organization, this chaotic destruction of the GOP is likely to continue.
Mr. Spier, there are many out-of-state name-callers, whose monikers are all that matters. Nobody cares about their real names. That, and that they are out-of-state name-callers. That leaves them no credibility here, although they provide much mockable entertainment. Like, for instance, Mr. Mike, who is from Iowa.
There are many others. Many out-of-staters, a few of whom are not full-on name callers, but with a fixation on the Great State of South Dakota, or a bad case of Noem Derangement Syndrome. Regardless, here they be, and they entertain me.
MFi, thank goodness, i have missed you! EPO!! All right:)
Arlo, consider figuring out the real name of your adversary, the Democratic Party, which on the world stage keeps you honest (at an extraordinary cost in these days of your party’s only value, disinformation and worse, of course, in your attempt to hold on to raw political power, despite the reality of a demographically changing world.
you can observe it daily ad nauseum from grdz above. dicta for one has had enough of it!! Spier exhibits a nature of good will and conscience. That should be all of our end goal.
grudznick mostly agrees with Mr. Blundt. The tent in which I reside, had gotten so spread out we have wingnutters and whackjobs and frankly just those insaner than most who live in the dark recesses of the canvas, where it is sloped towards the ground. Mostly these fellows keep their faces outward, down in the dank earth, next to a tent spike, and you can tell by the slope of their foreheads and the clammy sheen on their faces from the morning tent dew. That slight tent mold smell impetrates their hair.
To grudznick’s point, and despite the swell fellow Mr. Blundt fleeing the tent in fear, grudzick and my fellows choose to try to support the main posts of the tent which protect the majority, and we will root out the dark corners and then snug the tent up, square it’s corners, and make warmth and dry space for those not insaner than most. Those fellows will be sent over to the Libertarians and the Witches, where I also have dabbled and have many friends. It’s just better that way.
Leslie, don’t forget the tale of the lady who saved a snake from freezing only to be killed when the snake warmed up. Goatzilla is and will always be that snake.
Grudznick–There is a saying among the Hmong
“You have let a Tiger loose in my house
And now you ask me to throw the Tiger out”
I think mainstream Republicans will have a very difficult time Throwing out the Tiger. Look at Mr. Jackley (who I suppose is considered “mainstream” adopting the position that there should be no controls, at least as far as magazine capacity, when it comes to automatic weapons. We have innocents slaughtered nearly every day. The Tiger is loose.
I also take this opportunity to commend DFP for it’s non-censorship practices. This appreciation is especially true for me because I generally present views that are antithetic to ‘South Dakota’s True Liberal Media’, as DFP’s motto states.
What’s more, DFP is unique among it’s South Dakota blogging peers in regard to censorship. My comments have have been deleted or rejected by War College, South Dakota Standard has conveniently ended ‘comments’ publication, and another blog (don’t know if it’s still active) sponsored by a former Lyman County citizen (Garnos surname) booted me off its readership altogether. The only reason that I can come up with is that these entities simply don’t like seeing or hearing the things I have to say. So again — Thank you Cory!
You just like typing “among the Hmong” don’t you, Mr. Blundt? It’s ok. grudznick likes reading it.

Interesting read about what Hmong (Laotians) endured from many alleged Americans upon arriving in the states. If you read far enough you might catch echoes from out resident trolls in this article from 2018.
