South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem praised the people of her state for working with her administration to both keep the coronavirus largely at bay, while preserving the state's economy and employment levels.
Noem told "The Ingraham Angle" that a dangerous way to potentially "lose the country" is for other state executives to "overstep" boundaries and restrict universal American freedoms in the name of virus mitigation.
"I think what we are seeing there is encouraging leaders to make decisions where they will overstep their authorities and a time of crisis, and that's how we lose this country," she said.

Bikers rumbled past hundreds of tents filled with motorcycle gear, T-shirts and food. Harley Davidson motorcycles were everywhere but masks were almost nowhere to be seen, with an Associated Press reporter counting fewer than 10 in a crowd of thousands over a period of several hours.
Poor little snowflake reporter.
This person seems like a good future for the Republicans.
An old article but an interesting point.
The Kristi Noem/Sarah Palin comparison
I am so impressed with Gov. Kristi. She not only is a beautiful woman, but is smart, articulate and a great governor.
Gov. Kristi Noem for President 2024.

Youtube: 23m21s: 3 Aug: TalkRadio: Peter Hitchens: I think Boris Johnson is enjoying this power of decree far too much
Columnist Peter Hitchens has criticised Boris Johnson for his approach to coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
In his latest discussion with talkRADIOs Mike Graham, the journalist said he thought the Prime Minister was waiting for an excuse to tightening measures in parts of northern England...

Hitchens mentions the following:
Youtube: 5h50m: 01.08.2020 Berlin - Tag der Freiheit Live - 1,3 Millionen Menschen UNGLAUBLICH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htDrDieOgh0&feature=youtu.be
watch the first five minutes - camera pans 360 degrees and you cannot see where the crowd ends in any direction.
although almost all major MSM wor1wide have a Berlin bureau, this is the only video I know of that actually shows the 1st Aug “End the Pandemic - Freedom Day” protest, in Berlin, Germany. I have translated numerous comments and have verified this is the actual protest, which MSM worldwide said had 17 to 20,000 neo-Nazi or far-right protesters! have seen a number of comments on brief videos of small parts of the crowd arriving, asking why there was no ‘live’ video from MSM.
Hitchens also compared Britain to the Soviet Union, much as Tucker Carlson compared US to Communist China on his recent show.
Hitchens also mentions Victoria in Australia (where military are door-knocking for contact tracing btw):
7 Aug: Breitbart: Australian State Goes Full Coronafascist
by James Delingpole
We had to smash car windows and pull people out because they wouldnt give us details
they wouldnt tell us where theyre going, declares a senior Australian policeman dressed from head to toe in black...
No, this is not a scene from a prequel to Mad Max where Australia gets taken over by fascists. This is actually happening right now in the Australian state of Victoria, under the regime of power-crazed, hard left premier Daniel Andrews. (Or Kim Jong Dan, as he is known locally...
Police are even allowed into your home to carry out spot checks without a warrant and without your permission.
One or two Australians are resisting and Victorias Police Commissioner Shane Patton is responding with the full force of the law...
In the state of Victoria there had been just 162 deaths attributed to coronavirus. Even in the whole of Australia the total was only 247.
To put this into perspective, this is less than half the number of people who die in Australia every year from skin diseases, and about one-fifth of the number killed in car accidents...
Perhaps the most depressing thing of all is that a lot of Victorians appear to be enjoying Kim Jong Dans iron grip...
Eat your heart out Mad Max. The futures here and its even scarier than the Thunderdome.

The Great Reset? See World Economic Forum in Davos January 2021
Joe Biden spoke of this Global agenda.
science you can’t believe - even Neil Ferguson gets another mention!
8 Aug: Daily Mail: UK’s coronavirus death toll could have topped 100,000 if government didn’t tell the public to stay at home, study suggests
Scientists estimated how stay-at-home policies curbed death tolls in the US
They claimed deaths would have been 1.86-2.27 times greater without lockdown
Under the same maths, it would suggest Britain’s deaths could have doubled
Not all scientist have agreed that lockdowns have averted deaths
By Vanessa Chalmers
Scientists in California have now estimated how stay-at-home policies curbed death tolls across the US...
To look at the effects of the stay-at-home mandates in US states, the researchers collected data on mobility and how it had dropped since Covid-19 arrived.
The data came from Unacast, which receives location data from millions of mobile devices through apps, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections...
The US death toll is now 161,729 - the highest in the world. But had Americans never been told to ‘stay at home’, the findings suggest Covid-19 could have killed up to 367,000 by now...
The authors of the paper, led by James Sears, a PhD candidate at University of California, wrote...
The paper was published on the website MedRxiv, meaning it has not been reviewed by other scientists yet...
But other scientists have been adamant the lockdown was necessary, and was so important it should have been enforced in Britain weeks before it was on March 23.
Professor Neil Ferguson - the academic whose work led to Britain’s lockdown - says the lockdown likely saved almost half a million lives in the UK alone.
His team at Imperial University in London found coronavirus lockdowns across Europe probably prevented up to three million Covid-related deaths.
‘Professor Lockdown’ has also conceded that, in hindsight, tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if the lockdown had come a week earlier.
A separate study also published in June suggested around 500million Covid-19 cases were prevented by lockdowns in six countries, including the US...

so soft lockdown countries, Sweden & Japan, should not be #6 and #91 in covid deaths per million! lol.
US #8.
” motorcycles were everywhere but masks were almost nowhere to be seen”
If most don’t wear helmets, why would they wear masks? Bet there are a lot of “Live Free or Die” shirts being sold, probably a lot with masks symbolized.
Until shes not. Weve been down the hero worship lane to many times. A politician does a good thing and collectively everyone paints the person as some god creature. Then oops. Does something to disappoint and that same person is the villain from hell. Nope. She needs to do more then host a bike weekend. A lot more!
Here’s an interesting statistic. South Dakota is 83.8% non-hispanic white and 1.2% AA. One wonders if this would have any correlation here.
She will be the Vice President candidate on the 2024 Republican ticket.
Pence has done nothing on the virus task force. And his interviews are so weak. "Well John Roberts doesn't help conservatives." Yeah, so what. It's not 1991. We need somebody who speaks positively, forcefully and has some balls. And Noem has more than Pence.
“Pence has done nothing on the virus task force” really? Way misinformed.
Yeah, it can get a little dusty out there at times.
And if the election goes south, this great woman will have a target painted on her back, if not in terms of a political target, it would be that of a leftist nutjob marksman.
I sincerely hope that I am wrong.
Thats quite a prediction. Lets just think about 2012. Would you have guessed 4 years later the ticket we had in 2016? No way! None of us could. 4 years is an eternity from now in politics. Heck, next week someone might have a month long gathering and end up the flavor of the week.
