AGAIN: A South Dakota State College Held a "Family-Friendly" Drag Show and Asked Kids to Bring Dollars to Tip the Drag Queens. A Conservative Group Asked Governor Kristi Noem To Stop It.
In Response, Noem Demanded the Organization... Fire The E

I'm starting to see a pattern with Kristi Noem.


How about you?


This is the real GOP -- wear a cowboy hat and then fight for LGBT extremism so you make sure you're a "cleanskin" who can get jobs on corporate boards after your lose your vanity run for president.

Maybe Kristi's a little sensitive that people will remember the last time she fought to keep transgender players on girls' teams.

So now this SJW bitch is trying to get a man fired for... daring to criticize a public official.

Not even criticize -- just make a public demand for her action, rather than quiet, private one!

For that, she's blackmailing his organization into firing him, with the not-too-subtle threat, "Fire him or I'll never take your organization's phone calls again."

But she's really fighter for freedom and everything. Haven't you seen her Prop Cowboy Hat?!?!

I can't wait until this grifter bitch is out on her ass and hustling for corporate jobs at Netflix or wherever.

Sorry, I know some of you still defend her, but as Auric Goldfinger said, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."

26 Noem's response to us criticizing her betrayal was to insult us and call us "hypocrites". Because Christian conservatives aren't supposed to believe in "cancel culture" or something but being mad about her backstabbing us was an attempt to cancel her or whatever?

Anyway it's all very confusing. All I know is when "their" response to you noticing they fucked you dry is to insult you like a Lefty would, maybe even give the Left some ammo... then as the kids say, the jig is up.

29 I'm of two minds on the Mitchell Miller story. What he did was truly terrible. Yes, he was young -- 14 -- but that's not an excuse for what he did to a developmentally challenged kid. I think the fact that the kid was challenged makes the offense more serious than because the kid was black. And this wasn't just "bullying" -- it was years of physical and mental abuse that culminated in criminal charges and a guilty plea. This isn’t a "boys will be boys" story.

On the other hand, I also think this never would have been a story if the victim was any race other than black. Star athletes literally get away with murder. But the lilly-white NHL needed a scalp to show their virtue, so Miller's was taken. Miller deserved to be punished, yes. But having his entire career taken away? No. Especially not when other star athletes have gotten away with more serious offenses.

38 Is there no current politician at all in our corner on conservative matters? It sure doesn't seem so, with the exception for the time being of Ron DeSantis. No current GOP politician who is anywhere close to the mirror inverse of their Dem counterparts, who push that pedal to the metal and all the way through the floorboard, every chance they get. It's unreal.

Posted by: Lady in Black at December 23, 2022 01:31 PM (sVtYq)

39 Her statement doesn't even make sense. She's A) Saying the group should focus on protecting families, which I'm pretty sure stopping pedos from molesting tots is and B) That somehow she's thr modesty conservative governor, based on her track record of..... saying she's the most conservative governor.

She sees how DeSantis or Abott say these things to thre likes of the Lincoln project, while ignoring that in those cases it's Conservative governors telling liberal advocacy groups to go F themselves, and thinks she can do the same, but moronically telling the conservative advocacy groups to F off for denouncing her liberal policies. It's like she's too stupid to know the difference and thinks just acting tough works, while instead being a bitch for pedos and lefties.

41 Noem is a "Conservative Republican" only because South Dakota hasn't had a Democrat Governor since the late 70s.

I'm fairly certain that if you squeezed all the conservatism out of her you'd have enough to make Liz Cheney's left ankle.

Because she knows the script.

All she had to do was fucking wait and we could have had major clamoring for her to be Trump's or DeSantis's VP. But she couldn't wait. There's too much in this one for her. Can't imagine what's more important than fooling us until it's far too late.

55 Lady in Black, absolutely - not a sign of such a person anywhere, though arguably Trump while in office and now Heavy D as a governor are more/less doing that. But generally the Rs with any power, while some do good things and hold some lines, never push, never fight to regain key territory (that is to give the voting public an actual choice on these matters). Been true for many years. Hence the pendulum swing - in one direction. Notwithstanding that in many cases a substantial public consensus - in the other direction - remains the case.

It's so true and petty. Men aren't wired this way toward other men or women. Women will automatically vote for the better looking guy. But women with other women...watch out.

It's part of the reason Sarah Palin never worked either.

There's this Republican dream that if we field some really attractive, movie-star looking female, that we'll close the gender gap. Not going to happen.

125 Public schools are a much bigger problem in greater need of major reformative - or even revolutionary - action, but the public universities are much, much more manageable. The first candidate to run on a platform of defunding - in its entirety, from regular appropriations, scholarships, grants, etc. - the state universities gets my vote. Destroy the universities and staunch the flow, then take the lessons learned and go after the much more numerous and disparate school districts. In terms of state action, I would love to see it. In terms of local action, start at the districts. The locals and the states encircling the school districts in a pincer would be wonderful.

Yet another thing we might see at half past never, because by the time there's any appetite for it, there will be no money (or universities, or school systems) anyway.

The Party is a funnel-filter. Once you get above the district-level, it becomes highly unlikely that a candidate is anything but a Uniparty tool. They might not be able to stop you in a county-seat or House race, but they usually can in a statewide one.

A Senate race? Fuckin' forget it. The whole machine is set up to prevent a reformer from ever winning one of those, and to sideline them in one term, in the unlikely event the machinery fails. You saw that writ large with Trump's Presidency.

If Trump leaves it there, does not elaborate, does not make it part of the stump speech, it's OK. He is still leading in the efforts against child trafficking. Maybe that gives him some cover from the inecvitable homophobic slur. I do think child trafficking is a huge, and hugley winning, issue.

At least a tiny line was held there - they rejected the idea of changing the "Aztec" name a few years back, when idiot "activists" tried to get that done. I think the STEM departments are still pretty good, and maybe business.

In any case the gym and pool complex are awesome and we're in them several times a week. Luckily I have no cardiac issues as the female student body, ahemm, pretty much still lives up to San Diego State's historic reputation, and the workout outfits these days are spectacular.

It is a bit of a conundrum. She has to make it VERY clear that she's one of us, because the trust level is at zero and going subterranean. At the same time, she has to appeal to the mushy middle who vote on whether someone seems nice.

She went full MAGA retard. She ran her campaign as if Trump was popular in AZ. It made no sense, it would work if this was Mississippi or Alabama. But not in AZ.

Every Republican that embraced Trump went down hard. The ones that didn't, won their races. He's electoral poison here now.

The analysis I've seen from friends that work in politics was Lake and the other Trump Republicans lost because Republicans crossed party lines.

FWIW, it hurts, I'm not celebrating this. I'm not a Trump fan anymore, but I badly wanted Lake to win more than any other race in 2022.

I'm really getting to the point where I realize that our parents being "tolerant" towards gays (who just wanted to be able to visit their loved ones in the hospital!!!) was a huge problem and the cause of all of this.

We as a nation would've been a lot better off if a collective "No, we don't wish you any ill will, but your abnormal sexual desires very much need to stay in the shadows and away from our children" had been the refrain.

It's such a silly statistic. Trump basically "endorsed" everyone that won their respective primaries.

The high profile picks Trump made were spectacular losses that cost us the Senate and other Governor races.

And Trump made these picks based on his own ego.

Kari Lake is not an idiot, if she thought she was in a very tight race I definitely think she would have played more to the center.

Her only mistake was not accounting for just how bad the fraud was going to be. Prior to that there was nothing in the polls and likely her own internal polls that signaled that she needed to distance herself from Trump more to win.

They're not even Drag Show Queens of years agowhere the men knew they were men. These are either fake women who do a parody of women for which the term "womenface" is accurate. They wear skimpy outfits with big fake breasts and often fishnet stockings and hideous makeup and the tips from the kiddos get put in by their breasts or genitals. It is a form of grooming "Hey kids and parents; It's all in good fun!!" Utter bull----. If people cannot say"You cannot change your gender and gender mutilations of kids is always wrong." then you don't have the balls or feminine equivalent of being in politics or anyplace you interact with the public.

327 She emerged on the national scene about the same time as De Santis. At the time, I thought a very attractive conservative Governor would be great. Since then, she’s hit every pothole she possibly can, often backing up to run through them again. She’s shown that she has poor judgment, without even the finger in the wind sort of ambition that Abbot has here in Texas.

I think she’s gone as far as a pretty face can take her. She won’t even be a regional player, and if she tries to go national, she’ll be savaged from both sides. She needs to find a post-political career landing zone, probably as the token “conservative” on a news-talk show.

I understand why women polls get a lot of press, especially the attractive ones, and also there is a real trend where conservative female journalists are some of the few holding the line and not backing down. I'm sure there's some sort of socio-psycho thing going on there in our society that explains that.

Increasingly more.

Its a tough thing to learn: to separate the argument from the personal. We can disagree on ideas without turning that into a personal attack on your opponent or feeling like its a personal attack.

The reason we respond poorly like that (all of us, at least some rare occasions) is usually fear of being wrong and looking stupid. Fear of being revealed to be not what we are trying to present ourselves as being. Once you get ego out of the way, it becomes easier to engage just at the intellectual level.

Easier, but not certain. One of the benefits I've found of getting older is that I care a lot less what others think of me and am willing to say "I don't know" more often. Probably not often enough.

408 But Trump unfurling a gay pride flag at the GOP convention shows he’s not a GOPe sellout like Noem.

He's always been wrong and bad on this, but the overall package of delivery has been worth a few stupid small mistakes.

But you will notice he never took that wrong and stupid position to do anything policy or personnel wise. He didn't demand someone be fired or canceled for disagreeing with him on the topic. He didn't turn rainbow floodlights on the white house to celebrate gay day or something.

Everyone will have differences from each one of us on certain topics. Everyone has dumb blind spots. its what they DO with that which matters, and Noem has not only doubled down on stupid rhetoric, blamed conservatives for making her look bad, but has several times specifically made bad policy decisions based on her dumb blind spot.

I hope you can understand the distinction here.

I suspect this may be part of the reason for the under-representation of women in STEM fields. Engineering, in particular, is all about challenging assumptions and being able to defend your work.

In ever-increasing numbers. I had a guy file a harassment letter at work against another person because other person disparaged nickleback. Special snowflake guy wrote that he considered remarks against nickleback as homophobic and therefore it was harassment against him personaly. Was special snowflake gay? Nope, hetero, married with kids. But he said it was personal.

Then I have another young guy start out a reply-to-all email with, "I consider that a personal attack because", blah blah, emotional bullshit. I wasn't even a part of it but someone wanted my input. Sorry, all out of input.

Younger guys are starting to pick up the perceived affectations of young women because that makes them less "toxically masculine" which they don't want. It is so freaking weird. I end up having to get women coworkers to find anyone with balls. Like a freaking daycare.

they learned a few pieces of conservative mouth music, got elected by conservatives starving for representation,

then went on to serve as far left Democrats throughout their whole career.

At 6pm last night in Houston I shut-off the water supply and drained all the pipes. I'll keep things that way until noon Sunday if the temp forecast proves accurate. Houston building codes do not account for 12+ hours of 25 degree F and lower temperatures. I have plenty of bottled water and filled buckets to use to flush the toilets.

I recall the time I was sitting in my apartment above the back of a jewelry store in NY . I had the back window open I kept hearing what I thought was someone saying 'help me' . I kept hearing it and finally decided to go down in the back alley where I thought it was coming from. When I got there I heard 'help me' coming from the back of the adjoining building where an old lady tenet had fallen and broke her hip. I took of my shirt to put under her head. She looked up at me and I thought she was going to thank me but instead she scolded me for taking so long to get there. I could only laugh as I left to call an ambulance.

529 She should NEVER be allowed outside of South Dakota. Noem is the governor who sued up to the Supreme Court to make sure that every Mom & Pop in the nation with a website become a sales tax collector for her - and everybody else - whether they had a nexus in the State or not. And screw the costs to them for that.

She knew that there were loads of folks in South Dakota who'd made online purchases in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and paid no State Sales Tax on those purchases. But she didn't go after her own scofflaws through the SD Use Tax laws, she was too chicken-hearted to confront her own criminals. So she sued everyone else.

That is another reason why she should never be allowed outside of South Dakota.

534 385 383 Based on Ace's post last night stating he's done with the GOP, either this blog goes defunct or a whole new base of action-minded readers is required. I for one am looking forward to seeing the current crop of Instapanzy keyboard warriors and purpled-pilled GOPer handwringers forced out. Alas, I'm betting the "I'm done with the GOP" is a hollow threat and the smart military COBs with their milquetoast ELCA potluck politics and sensibilities remain king. It's becoming conceivable that Instapanzy, AOS, Althouse etc... are shadow-funded operations to not only keep tabs on conservatives but more importantly offer a cathartic outlet that provides a sports-like fan following for conservatives to blow off steam and reduce the possibility of mass uprising. If you keyboard warrior COBs took just 10% of the time you waste cruising the "conservative" political internet venting and bloviating in your echo chamber clubs and instead walked out to the street with a sign and protested we'd be living in an entirely different America.
