South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has issued line-item vetoes of HB1137 and HB1185. HB1137 is an act to impact education in South Dakota, to make an appropriation therefor, and to declare an emergency. HB1185 is an act to appropriate money for the ordinary expenses of the legislative, judicial, and executive departments of the state, the expenses of state institutions, interest on the public debt, and for common schools.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed several bills into law today. Gov. Daugaard has also issued a statement confirming that he intends to sign SB 84, a bill to create the South Dakota Athletic Commission to regulate such activities as boxing and mixed martial arts competitions.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has vetoed SB 115, an Act to increase the commercial fertilizer inspection fee for purposes of fertilizer-related research and to create the Nutrient Research Education Council to promote such research. In a statement accompanying the veto, Daugaard says this is not a fee increase but a tax, which he opposes.

House Bill 1123, “an Act to increase the surcharge on certain hunting licenses for predator control purposes, approve temporary funding provisions relating to predator control, and to declare an emergency,” was signed into state law today by Governor Dennis Daugaard.

Thursday’s headlines from Washington, D.C. will likely read that the House of Representatives passed a ten year path to a balanced budget proposed by Representative Paul Ryan. While the Ryan budget is a gigantic step in the right direction, a proposal by the House Republican Study Committee that brings the budget into balance in four years is likely to be ignored by many in the media. It should not be.

It seems today that more often than not those that are decrying hate are the ones that are actually perpetuating it. They intend through deceptive measures to create monsters out of those who don’t agree with their lifestyles or political agendas and revert back to their carnal nature for distorted guidance, so in the end they can become the victim. Maybe this can explain why the radical homosexuals revert back to organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose founder Morris Dees, in the 1960s, defended the KKK for their guilt of attacking the black communities.

Our lot is simple to define. Will we rest our future upon those weak-kneed RINO’s or with the courageous young political rebels of Lee, Paul, Cruz, Rubio and others? Likewise, will we stand for our unalienable rights and in doing so, proudly proclaim Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Creator. Will we once again revel in the delight of our coarse Americanism or will we become a withering and needy animal which finds delight in federal morsels?
