Group calls SD Gov. Kristi Noem the nation’s “best”, others say she’s the worst
Conservative group tied to major corporate interests, the American Legislative Exchange Council, gave South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem an award this week for being what they think is the “best” Governor in the country. While others point to her record as one of the country’s worst.
In 2020, during the early part of the China virus pandemic, Kristi Noem became a nationwide sensation overnight when she claimed to buck the trend of COVID shutdown orders and declared, “South Dakota is open for business.” She even claimed that South Dakota “never shut down” for COVID.
NOEM BUILT REPUTATION ON NOT SHUTTING DOWN SOUTH DAKOTA, RECORD SAYS OTHERWISE
But this claim was not true and the national mainstream conservative ecosystem refused to challenge it. It was untrue because Kristi Noem the politician had said one thing while Kristi Noem as Governor had done just the opposite.
Noem’s stump speech that she performs nationwide over the past year where she says that “in South Dakota, we never shut down,” that her staff didn’t engage in “defining what businesses were essential,” and she avoided “any shelter in place mandates.”
But the reality is different.
Christopher Vondracek in the South Dakota-based Mitchell Republic noted, “A common theme in Gov. Noem’s speeches to national audiences has been that the state remained open for business. But a flurry of executive orders, particularly over six weeks in March and April of 2020 in the pandemic’s beginning, tell a very different story.”
Noem issued nearly 30 executive orders dealing with COVID-19 throughout 2020. All of them can be found on the South Dakota Secretary of State’s website.
NOEM ISSUED REPEATED EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO SHUT DOWN SOUTH DAKOTA
As reported by Vondracek:
On April 6, 2020, with confirmed cases still low but officials planning for 5,000 beds and 1,300 ventilators, Noem’s team dispatched an executive order that said the governor ordered that residents 65 and older or who had an underlying health condition in two of the state’s largest counties, Minnehaha and Lincoln, which encompass Sioux Falls, “shall stay at home or a place of residence” unless working in “critical infrastructure” or conducting “essential errands.”
That same day, Noem said in a press conference, “we’re changing the ‘shoulds’ to ‘shalls’” in her executive order, meaning she was mandating compliance, just like Democrat governors who were locking down across the country.
NOEM MADE COMPLIANCE MANDATORY
This early April remain-in-place order wasn’t the only directive Noem gave the state’s residents. Throughout multiple executive orders, even as far back as March 23, the governor also delineated between “essential” and non-essential jobs, activities, and businesses in the orders from the state capitol.
NOEM PICKED BUSINESS WINNERS AND LOSERS FOR COVID-SHUTDOWN
On March 13, 2020, three days after the first known positive case was confirmed in the state, Noem ordered “non-essential” public employees to work from home.
Ten days later, an order from the governor’s office on the second floor of the Statehouse told South Dakotans to assist personnel in “essential” jobs, such as first responders.
Moreover, that same March 23 executive order told “any enclosed retail business that promotes public gatherings” — which the order defined as everything from bars to health clubs — to suspend or modify their business practices.
Even as late as April 24, Noem issued an order reemphasizing a previous order that urged “all South Dakotans” who were “particularly vulnerable to COVID-19” to stay home.
The Noem Executive Order issued April 6, 2020 was “mandatory” for two major counties representing a third of the state population, requiring that anyone over 65 and anyone who is a “vulnerable” individual “shall stay at home” and “shall wash hands often.”
NOEM SHUT STATE DOWN FOR SOUTH DAKOTA SENIORS
The order was for 3 weeks, and then reissued through May 11, 2020. On April 9, 2020, in another Executive Order from Noem, she granted the Secretary of Health broad authority over all other agencies under the guise of controlling the spread of the virus.
Before Noem’s Executive Orders on COVID were released, on March 30, 2020, Representative Lee Qualm, probably on the orders of Governor Noem, introduced House Bill 1297 which would have given full emergency shutdown powers to the Secretary of Health, for well over an entire year, until July 2021.
NOEM HAD POLITICAL ALLY INTRODUCE SHUTDOWN POWERS TO KEEP HER HANDS CLEAN
The South Dakota State House of Representatives, a body more conservative than Noem, voted 50-17 to reject the bill. This is why Noem went around them with Executive Orders.
But the national conservative media believed her statements in spite of her record.
CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATURE REJECTED NOEM SHUTDOWN ATTEMPTS
Noem made a national name for herself crusading against lockdowns and making claims about her own leadership in South Dakota keeping the state open, which simply aren’t true.
Kristi Noem has lied repeatedly about her record locking down South Dakota.
Because her media reach and focus on self-promotion was so extensive, many conservative commentators failed to verify her claims—even though her own lockdown policies were similar to that of Democrat governors in other states.
Recently, however, many of these same conservatives have started to take note, as her official record gets scrutinized. Some on the right have begun to call her out, because they see Kristi Noem’s record on COVID as being closer to Democrat governors.
When it comes to Kristi Noem, her legacy in a deep-red state is more Democrat than Republican.

January 6th Prisoner Desperate Letter from THE HOLE of DC Gitmo! HUNGER STRIKE Demand Includes Investigation into Capitol Police!
We at The Gateway Pundit were one of the first news sources to actively report on the inhumane conditions and unconstitutional treatment of the January 6th Political Prisoners. We will continue to tell our fellow American’s stories until all are released and their due process rights are restored. The Biden Regime has silenced them, but we are committed to our role as journalists and watchdogs of the Government. Our obligation is to YOU- the People of The United States, not the Government.
Thanks to our world class investigative team, inside sources and our relentless pursuit of the truth, we have been able to develop real relationships with prisoners from inside the walls of DC Gitmo. We are able to consistently obtain authentic letters and share them with the world. From the lonely solitude of their cells, these men and women pour their heart and soul into the letters we then release on their behalf. These prisoners are desperate to know that their words reach readers like you and find incredible solace in knowing you care. We are honored to be able to give these Americans back at least part of the voice the Biden Regime has stripped away. We thank you for caring about your fellow citizens suffering right now. By sharing their stories you help us in our job of making sure this flagrant political persecution and denial of constitutional protection never becomes the norm for the future of The United States.
We recently received this message directly from J6 Political Prisoner Jake Lang from solitary confinement. Jake has been credited for saving another man’s life on January 6th who says he was being crushed to death because police were pushing Trump Supporters on top of him and tear gassing them. This has been substantiated by video, yet The Department of Justice has offered Lang a ridiculous plea deal of nine years and kept him in DC Gitmo for almost a year now.
Here is Jake Lang’s full statement:
Jake Land before his imprisonment in DC Gitmo.
“Hello my fellow patriots, it’s Jake Lang – the time has come to draw a line in the sand, to say enough is enough. I am currently in the basement of the DC Jail, the ‘hole’, where my phone account and tablet has been cut off, leaving me with absolutely no access to my family or my attorney, as well has no visitations because of COVID. Completely silenced and cutoff to the outside world before being found guilty of any crime. The alleged crime? Standing up with 1 million+ other unarmed American patriots against tyranny; defending women and the elderly, my life, my country, my Constitution and even saving a life on January 6th! I can no longer in good conscious, with my faith in the Most High God, identify or have any part with the defacto Federal Government, and their corrupt Departments of Justice and Corrections. Monday, (1/31/22) I am entering an prolonged hunger strike of 23+ days until my next court date on Wednesday, February 23rd, where there will be a large peaceful protest and press conference by my lawyer Steven Metcalf outside DC Federal District Court House at 2:30pm followed by a press conference at 3:45pm. Media and patriots will be present in strong numbers. I will not eat until these demands are met:
1. A thorough Bipartisan Congressional investigation into the Jan 6th Capitol Police brutality and murders of Ashli Babbit and Roseanne Boyland.
2.The immediate release of ALL January 6th detainees with no prior violent criminal history.
3. Equal Treatment Under the Law/ similar lenient wrist slap sentences as 2020 BLM and ANTIFA rioters.
4. Constitutionally protected right of redress of January 6th 2021 grievances, the obvious and overwhelming Will of The People being heard and obeyed: to send back the 2020 Presidential Election vote counting to the State legislatures for a recount.
I will try to release statements daily, whenever I can get a friend to help me – including updates on my health, lists of the egregious human rights violations I have suffered at the hands of the DC Jail; and details of the gross indifference shown by the DOJ to these human rights violations, and the OBVIOUS selective, politically motivated, prosecution and illegal prolonged solitary confinement / detainment. There will be updates and more information about the February 23rd protest on J6Truth.org as well as our new documentary launching in the first week of February. I would be eternally grateful for your prayers and support on getting this hunger strike with its list of demands and my daily updates as much media attention as possible – culminating on the February 23rd court date and peaceful protest. On February 23rd, in court, my lawyer Steve Metcalf and I will be submitting some groundbreaking documents and Declarations that will most certainly shift the momentum and the perspective of all January 6th court cases. Please show up, and continue to be part of this next level patriotic movement!! I need your help!! Americans need your help!! 750 January 6ers need your help!! United We Stand under God. Please spread our graphics and write posts/ articles and dedicate a few segments to this hunger strike and February 23rd peaceful protest for ALL January 6ers! God bless you and thank you. #J6TRUTH –> J6Truth.org
Please help Jake here.

Crowd Size at Trump Rally in Texas Was Massive – an Estimated 50,000 Show Up to See President Trump in Conroe
Initial reports indicate that the crowd at the Trump Rally in Texas on Saturday night was estimated at around 50,000 people.
Trump War Room reported on the huge crowd waiting to get into the event.

Even far-left reporters had to admit the crowd size was massive. Per Heavy.com:
Steven Monacelli of Rolling Stone, The Daily Beast, and Dallas Weekly tweeted that there were “tens of thousands” at the event. If fire or police officials release an official estimate, this story will be updated with that number.
This was another huge crowd. How many liberal and RINO heads popped Saturday night seeing the still very strong support for President Trump – the biggest political base in US history?

CNN Tries To Put Jim Acosta In Their Primetime Lineup And He’s A Ratings Dud
Ever since CNN booted Chris Cuomo, they have been struggling to fill his 9 PM slot.
They recently decided to try putting Jim Acosta in their primetime line-up, but things didn’t go according to plan.
Jim Acosta is a left wing hack and people know it. He barely even registered on the ratings map.
FOX News reports:
Jim Acosta’s foray into CNN’s primetime lineup struggles to attract viewers
Jim Acosta’s troubled foray this week into CNN’s primetime lineup included everything from disinformation to widely mocked hot takes, but the outspoken host’s saving grace could be that hardly anybody tuned in.
CNN has experimented with different options at 9 p.m. ET since it was forced to terminate Chris Cuomo last year. This week, it was Acosta’s turn to occupy the time slot with the network’s continuing special, “Democracy in Peril,” that failed to resonate with viewers.
Acosta averaged only 561,000 viewers through the first three episodes of his primetime audition, while Fox News’ time slot competition “Hannity” averaged 3 million viewers during the same period. Acosta’s primetime debut also shed viewers from the 774,000 that “Cuomo Prime Time” attracted during November before the liberal network canned its biggest star.
“Chris Cuomo was pompous but also entertaining. His replacement either needs to be animated or respected, neither of which is Acosta,” OutKick media columnist Bobby Burack told Fox News Digital…
“CNN viewers may like Jim Acosta’s political views, but that doesn’t mean they like him,” Burack continued. “How could they? Acosta is a bitter man, who talks in clichés and cracks jokes only he finds funny.”
The numbers speak for themselves. No one is watching Acosta.

“I See You Are Wendy’s Puppet!” – AZ State Rep Walt Blackman and Triggered WIFE, Kristi Blackman Psycho Text TGP’s Conradson Following TGP Article on Decertification
Arizona State Representative Walt Blackman and his wife are triggered because TGP totally called Blackman out on his bs.
The Gateway Pundit reported on RINO comments made by Blackman during an interview.
Blackman claimed that there was nothing we could do about the stolen 2020 election. “We have to look forward” and move on from the stolen 2020 election, he said.
Within minutes, Blackman contacted TGP’s Jordan Conradson attempting to walk back what he said and claiming he has been on the front lines for decertification, despite his near silence through the process.
He pointed to his voting record as proof that he isn’t a RINO but that doesn’t change what he said.
Blackman pledged to Conradson that he would post a Facebook live video to clarify his stance on decertification or nullification of the fraudulent 2020 election. The video now appears to have been deleted but the gesture was nice.
Just a few minutes later, Walt’s wife, Kristi Blackman began repeatedly texting Conradson and continued for several hours with no response.
The Gateway Pundit doesn’t work for the Blackmans. Walt Blackman works for you.
Kristi accused TGP of not reporting the truth, then sent screenshots of Walt Blackman’s letters to the Arizona Attorney General and a letter to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann. Both letters were sent in 2020.
These letters were good for election integrity and the Arizona audit, but since 2020 we haven’t seen Blackman on the frontlines like Rep. Mark Finchem, Senator Wendy Rogers, Senator Sonny Borrelli and other election integrity heros.
Walt couldn’t handle the criticism and his wife lost it!
At one point, Kristi even attacked Conradson personally and threatened that she had a surprise coming.
Finally, after a ten minute break from her 12 hour rant, Kristi found God and came to her senses.
Walt Blackman needs to remember that he works for the taxpayers.
