Kristi Noem should have paid attention to some of the history behind her own name rather than the listen to the advice of attorneys and lobbyists. She didn’t realize that she had the power to wreck the NCAA if it didn’t bow to her wishes. If she had signed the “women’s protection” legislation she would have stayed on the path to the presidency. Now, that future has almost certainly vanished.
Kristi’s decision was not at all a matter of battles in the court room, as she proclaimed. She is wrong, in reality, this is a war of ideas.
Evidently Kristi may not be all that well read in history — particularly in Christian history:
In 64 AD Rome burned. Nero, in order to pacify the crowds and deflect blame from himself, picked on a little-known Jewish sect. He had the many who refused to flee turned into torches to light the avenues. HIS ACT OF CRUELTY HANGED THE ENTIRE WORLD !
Nero turned Christianity from something few had known about into a people that everyone wanted to understand. Throughout the Roman Empire everyone knew what had happened. Many hated the Christians as a result of Nero’s propaganda. A great many more were curious to discover who these people were who would brave agonizing death rather than give up their beliefs.
Human feelings entered into it as well. Most understood that the Great Fire had been an accident. Why then did Nero persecute these innocent eccentrics? Christians began to gather sympathy as well as allies and adherents.
Most of the emperors after Nero had the good sense to leave the Christians alone. A few, most notably Diocletian, persecuted the Christians because the empire was, once more, having a run of very bad luck.

At her core she is a dopey lady.
“Kristi’s decision was not at all a matter of battles in the court room, as she proclaimed.”
Even if it was, her PR team failed her.
Noem buckled under the pressure. She’s weak, simple as that.
So it seems. Her waffling defies common sense.
She struck me as mediocre thinker with her prepared, robotic RINO responses to Tucker.
Apparently her voting record in Congress showed she was among the least conservative of Republicans there.
In before the, ‘yOu hAvE to TrUSt gOv. kRisTIE. sHe KnoWS wHAt ShE’s dOinG. iT WaS a ReALly BaD bIlL.’ posts.
Well, that’s disappointing. I guess I’ll lump her in with Mia Love and Joni Ernst (who I know, personally) until she proves otherwise. :(
Noem made the decision to stand aside. She could have been a hero among the MAGA base of the GOP.
Given the current state of affairs where millions of Americans believe they were cheated in the 2020 Elections, it does not seem to me that it is good politics to back away from this issue and still keep the MAGA base energized in her favor.
Plenty are saying the bill she returned for clarification was poorly written and would not stand up in court. I believe she will sign a sound bill.
I’m on her side. Fox is against her. But I think that lady does the right thing, even in this case. 100% behind her.
RE: But I think that lady does the right thing, even in this case
Maybe you can educate us as to what is “right” about what she did...
Good examples! Mia in particular betrayed her voters and lay prostrate before traitor Paul Ryan.
She said the legislation was badly written, and I believe her. A lot of laws are vaguely written and ridiculously broad - like RICO being used against Pro-Life organizations.
But she should have told them that before it was passed.
People who are saying that don’t have any idea what they’re talking about. The bill is nearly identical to roughly a dozen other laws passed by GOP-controlled states. It’s a very short bill, literally less than two-pages long. The two sections she wants excised are the two sections that make the bill legally enforceable.
Without those sections, it’s nothing more than a vanity statement that accomplishes nothing.
She's over.
Kristi cut her own political throat. Sorry, it ain’t FOX.
She followed the same path as Mike Pence. Only Pence was elected VP only to show his traitorous side.
Yet another truly unfortunate example of how left wing anti-God/anti-science *Social Marxism, and it’s spiraling perverted anti-morality tests, continue to filter and segregate out the unprincipled, power hungry, and politically driven.
