When liberals are in charge of America’s purse strings, the taxpayers are tied by the wrists to a runaway gravy train that benefits any and all…except the taxpayer. Even foreigners make out like bandits at the expense of the American taxpayer. The Chinese are poised to acquire a company that the Obama Administration has poured millions of taxpayer dollars into.

One of our good legislators in the South Dakota Legislature took part in an Oscar-nominated film called “The Invisible War” which deals with rape in the military. Nelson worked as a Marine (and later as a civilian) with the Navy’s NCIS where one of the crimes investigated by this group was rape. Nelson went to Hollywood to give an interview and consultation for the film.

After the president, with help from his fraternizers in the deceptive state-run media, somehow won his re-election campaign, I thought it was important to note the first thing Obama and his administration did was turn its attention to the United Nations gun treaty talks. Hmm, I wonder … If he really had the support of the American people, why is he so busy trying to disarm those who supposedly love him so much?

Infowars.com reports that the Dept. of Homeland Security is buying practice targets that are a little unconventional. The figures include a small boy, an old man, an old woman and even a pregnant woman. Remember, these are called “no hesitation” targets.

Yesterday, the South Dakota State House Taxation committee made the wise decision to kill HJR 1003, a bill to make ” formal application to Congress to call a limited constitutional convention for the sole purpose of proposing a federal balanced budget amendment.” As I pointed out recently, while we desperately need a balanced budget, calling a constitutional convention could easily get out of control and scuttle what remains of our constitution.

Chris Crane, president of the ICE union, National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118, testified before congress recently about how our immigration and border control forces are being ORDERED not to do their jobs by President Barack Obama’s rogue, lawless administration. Needless to say, morale within the department is low.

Senator John Thune (R-SD) held a town hall meeting in Spearfish yesterday in which he said, in the words of our local newspaper, “GOP won’t cave on spending.” “Republicans are willing to see the sequestration come into force, he said, ‘if that’s the only way we are going to get cuts in spending.'”

Despite the fact that wind energy has been shown around the world to be an inefficient and costly ripoff for the taxpayer and consumer, the South Dakota Senate yesterday voted to extend an incentive to bring more of this environmentalist boondoggle to South Dakota.
