South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard signed twenty more bills today on subjects ranging from: battery against infants and unborn children, domestic abuse, sexting, child custody during a soldier’s deployment, child support, roll-your-own cigarette machines at retail establishments, abortion, ObamaCare, health care, Shariah law, and more.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has issued a style-and-form veto of SB194 and a line-item veto of HB 1058. SB194 is an act to make an appropriation to fund tax refunds for elderly and persons with a disability, to revise the income eligibility requirements for property tax and sales tax refunds, and to declare an emergency. (style-and-form veto) HB1058 is an act to make an appropriation to the Unified Judicial System court automation fund and revise certain record-search fees charged by the clerk of courts. (line-item veto)

I don’t care whether you are Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, some other faith, agnostic or an atheist, this video is absolutely prescient and even prophetic. Everything Michael Voris said then in 2009 has come true as we approach the end of the first term of America’s “Dance with the Devil.” Socialism denies several fundamental truths, and as such is not only incompatible with the American way of life, but is an illogical pursuit at its heart.

In the Ayn Rand classic Atlas Shrugged, there are two steel magnates – Hank Reardon and Orrin Boyle.  Reardon develops a new, lighter weight, stronger steel known as Reardon Metal, and Boyle uses the government to deny the introduction of the metal into the marketplace.  Boyle, the consummate D.C. corporate crony socialist, pulls all of his strings in a failed attempt to break Reardon. In today’s world, Boyle would not only get favorable environmental, labor and location subsidies, he would be in the front of the line for a Department of Energy “loan” and the president would be announcing “instant rebate tax credits” to make his steel more competitive with the value offered by his competitors.

You won’t hear talk like this come from a Catholic pulpit very often, and you won’t hear it from a Protestant pulpit very much either.  In fact, unvarnished truth like this from any pulpit today is downright historic. It seems the Catholic Church is waking up to the fact that when they hopped in bed with the socialists in the Obama Administration a few years ago and backed ObamaCare, they were hopping in bed with the Devil.

The next time the nightly faux news shows are filled the antics of the faux rebels demonstrating for more government power, or the next time one of your relatives or old friends wants to fill your ear with their oft repeated mantras for the collectivist establishment, tell yourself, “This is the time for real rebels and the counter revolution.” And if pointing out the transparent hypocrisy of the faux rebels of today should ever be considered too rebellious for the faint of heart, let me share one more quote from Patrick Henry, “If this be treason, make the most of it!”

Here are some thoughts on some of South Dakota’s legislators wanting to pull the construction tax refund issue off the November ballot. Senate Bill 170 would have done just that. But in the last week there were cooler (smarter) heads that prevailed.

Social Security benefits can represent a big stack of cash. A typical monthly benefit of $2,200 has a present value well over $500,000. Consider all your Social Security options carefully to avoid making a costly mistake. To make the best decision, you must consider health, income before retirement, income during retirement and taxes.

Juliette Low began the Girls Scouts, MARCH 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia. The original Girl Scout promise was: “On my honor, I will try: to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times, to obey the Girl Scout laws.” In 1995, parents in West Chester, Ohio, grew disillusioned with an increasing secular focus, leading Patti Garibay, a former Girl Scout leader, to found the family-friendly American Heritage Girls, serving thousands of girls with troops in over 37 States.
