We sincerely believe that the Governor missed an opportunity to get out in front of this issue and help accommodate both sides in a peaceful and respectful manner.

Sadly, I was not too surprised when I read that South Dakota’s RINO Governor Dennis Daugaard vetoed HB 1008, a bill which simply said what people considered “Duh-level obvious” just a few years ago, i.e. that if you are a biological male, you are to use the male’s restroom/locker room, and if you are a biological female, you are to use the female’s restroom/locker room.

In a campaign where the noise of myriad, and in many cases less critical, issues has drowned out the single greatest threat to God-fearing Americans’ individual liberties – the secular left’s tireless efforts to end our constitutional religious free exercise and freedom of conscience – Hugh Hewitt exposed John Kasich as an avowed enemy to the First Amendment and a devoted ally of Democratic sexual change agents.

Bills being considered by the South Dakota Legislature today include protecting religious liberty, the education sales tax increase, relations with Israel, and protecting persecuted religious groups abroad.

At the Rapid City Legislative Crackerbarrel meeting on Feb. 201, 2016, a transgender woman who has mutilated her body to appear masculine asked about HB 1008, a bill recently passed by the legislature and now being considered by the governor, which requires boys to use the body’s restroom/locker room and girls to use the girl’s restroom/locker room in schools.

A Missouri court Tuesday rejected the primary claim of a former Catholic diocese ministry worker who sued the diocese for terminating her employment once leadership learned of her same-sex union.

The Student Physical Privacy Act (HB1008) passed in the Senate Tuesday afternoon with a vote of 20-15. It now sits on the desk of Governor Dennis Daugaard. “Boots on the ground” in Pierre are telling us that the Governor’s phone is ringing off the wall (so to speak) from those across the country who don’t want to see this bill signed into law. To say that there is enormous pressure to veto would be an understatement.

You knew it was only a matter of time, when we start rejecting science and fact in favor of “feeling” and delusion, right?

We have been placed in the position of having to defend plain, obvious truths as if they were, at best, seriously questionable claims. The “magic dust” that confuses and disarms us is made up of popular opinion, pressure to conform, the “conclusions” of politically correct “experts,” portrayals in mass media, etc. — that is, whatever can be used (or abused) to make us hesitant to speak up.

We are pleased to report that HB1008, the student privacy bill, passed in the Senate yesterday afternoon with a vote of 20-15. HB1008 now heads to the Governor. Urge him to sign HB1008, the student privacy bill.
