Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?

The biggest race on Tuesday Night is the South Dakota Republican Primary for Governor

If no candidate gets 35% then it goes to a run-off in late July

There are 4 main candidates running and polling is all over the place

The worst candidate is Dusty Johnson. He is like Drummond just running as a Republican because it's a deep Red State. That's all. He has been horrible in Congress. He supported Liz Cheney and voted for the January 6th Commission.

The only reason he has a chance is that he has money and name ID. He became a Trump fan after deciding to run for Governor

Governor Larry Rhoden's poll numbers don't seem that great for a sitting Governor. However, he is better than Dusty Johnson by a country mile should it go to a runoff between them.

Jon Hansen is the current Speaker of the House. He is very Conservative. The question is can he make the runoff?

Toby Doeden is the political outsider in this race. He is the MAGA Candidate. The question is will he make the runoff?

Polling has been super unhelpful. One poll shows Johnson making the runoff, the next he is in 3rd place. One poll shows Larry making it, the other poll shows him in 3rd. One poll shows Jon making it and the next poll shows him in last. The next poll shows Toby in 1st place then the next poll shows him 3rd. Who knows.

I wish President Trump would make an endorsement here. On Friday he endorsed Randy Feenstra (Iowa) Pamela Evette (South Carolina) and Mike Mazzei (Oklahoma) but left out South Dakota.

Maybe he will see who makes the runoff and endorse against Johnson should he make it.

I have great friends going for Toby and Jon.

If you live in South Dakota who do you support?

@sschevelle33 I've been aerial spreading rye into corn since 2017. Settled on 90 lbs/acre in late August. Catch a rain and I get a much earlier start than drilling into it after corn, plus I dont want to be chopping up the corn residue.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Dark money flowing heavily into SD Primaries. Do your research before you vote!

[Amanda Radke @RadkeAmanda]

As concerns about hyper-scale data surveillance centers continue to arise across the state and country, it’s important to note where SD Governor candidates stand on this issue.

Congressman Johnson spoke about data centers and didn’t mince words about how he views citizens who express concerns and opposition to these building built in their communities.

Addresssing the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce last summer, Johnson said:

“It’s un-American and it’s not at all capitalist. Backyard. Forget the NIMBYs, we’ve got BANANAs: ‘Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything.’ It is a disease that’s metastasizing.”

CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud.

The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted

CNN said there was "little evidence."

Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud

Today: $90M busted and 15 charged.

IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.

Farmer: "Gentlemen. I'd like to present the ultimate plant-based protein technology."

Investor 1: "We're listening."

Farmer: "It converts inedible plant matter into complete protein. Grass, cornstalks, brewery waste, vegetable peelings. Anything cellulose-rich that humans can't digest."

Investor 2: "Energy requirements."

Farmer: "Sunlight."

Investor 2: "For the plant matter, you mean."

Farmer: "And for the conversion. Same sunlight. Reused."

Investor 3: "Heating costs for the bioreactor."

Farmer: "None. The unit holds 38.5 degrees year-round on its own."

Investor 1: "Failure rate."

Farmer: "Self-repairing. The unit also replicates once a year at no additional cost."

Investor 3: "Replicates."

Farmer: "Produces a smaller version of itself. Which becomes a full unit."

Investor 2: "Net carbon."

Farmer: "Neutral. The carbon in goes back to the air the grass pulled it from. Round and round, same atoms, no new ones added."

Investor 1: "And the waste output."

Farmer: "Twenty tonnes of soil enrichment per unit per year. The waste is also a product."

Investor 2: "This would obliterate Beyond Meat."

Farmer: "It already has. They just don't know yet."

Investor 1: "Where can we see one."

Farmer: "There are about 1.5 billion currently deployed. Have been for ten thousand years."

[silence]

Investor 3: "It's a cow, isn't it."

Farmer: "It's a cow."

Investor 2: "We were promised plant-based."

Farmer: "The plant goes in one end. I don't know what else you wanted."

🌪️ Imagine watching your soil leave the farm in real time.

Topsoil loss doesn’t just hurt yields—it strips away biology, nutrients, and resilience.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

There’s just nothing we can do in this former prairie that receives 36”+ of rainfall. It’s just farming. You’re just going to have to deal with it. It’s just a few days a year. It’s just a little dust. We are feeding the world dontcha know.

This is satire, for clarity. I can’t even think of anymore fake things to say, much less real things.
