Boy did we dodge a bullit with this BS Artist.

This was the “Golden Girl” that the Establishment thought they could fool us with.

[proust]

Yikes.

How much you want to bet Lewindowski was boinking her now?

[laweeks]

She’s lost me now forever!

Other than Christmas, New Years, July 4th, and the other holidays that have to do with America’s founding, I’m generally against keeping holidays altogether.

If you have a day that is significant to you, you should be accommodated without requiring everybody else to go along with you.

Let’s not forget just months ago Noem refused to sign the bill banning biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, caving to pressure from lobbyists and members of her own staff with ties to the Chamber of Commerce. She’s a BILF, a Bush-clone I’d Love to F***...but not vote for.

Let's see: The District of Columbia
The Columbia River
Columbia, South Carolina
Columbus, Ohio
Columbia City, Indiana
Columbia, Missouri
Columbia County Washington

The list goes on and on.

Christopher Columbus represents something more than raising a few tail feathers of some natives on an island that the native Lucayan people called Guanahani. Columbus renamed it San Salvador, after our Lord Jesus Christ.

I remember that well. I’m a sucker for a pretty face, but this woman has repeatedly proven to be an unreliable ally in the culture war. No Noems in ‘24.

Columbus Day was initiated to honor the contributions of Italian Americans, who are almost non-existent in South Dakota. This is much aso about nothing

My significant days are the ones that end in “Y”. Even though I hate the one that starts with “M”. Got to call in for my “accommodation”. Thanks!

Have a nice day!

Is there no analogue there of Liberty, Louisiana?

This years she has certainly come out of the well-concealed closet...
RINO bitch!

“Boy did we dodge a bullit with this BS Artist.”

No kidding. Caved to the transgender crowd. Held a fundraiser for John Boehner (what is he even running for?). Now this. She’s done.

Luigi Del Bianco helped create South Dakota’s most famous attraction.

Columbus Day was initiated to honor the contributions of Italian Americans, who are almost non-existent in South Dakota.

Yeah, that's what the Wikipedia entry says, and I use them as much as anybody, but I grew up in a very Catholic (25%+) portion of Connecticut and while the public school in my hometown certainly mentioned his Italian heritage, the celebration was always in the context of the discovery of the Americas. Frankly, Spain's role got at least equal billing (NOT a lot of Hispanics in CT in those days save a few spare Puerto Ricans in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford). Except for the Columbus always being given an Italian accent in recitals, the Italian part was not particularly emphasized.

I wouldn't have a huge problem with having a “Native American Day” *in addition* to Columbus Day...but not *instead* of.

[Dixie Yooper]

Columbia Broadcast System should cover this story...

[Baldwin77]

She is so woke.
