Governor Kristi Noem The Sturgis Rally is one of the biggest gatherings for motorcycle enthusiasts in the world. While the rally has always promoted an independent spirit, these past two years have taken on a new meaning of freedom. The Sturgis Rally is about hopping on your bike and exploring this great country through our open roads. Bikers come here because they want to be here. And we love to see them! Outside of the Fourth of July, the Sturgis Rally must be one of the most iconic celebrations of freedom in the country. And where better to celebrate than in South Dakota, the freest state in the nation? While the rally has yet to end – the last day is August 15th – the numbers have already shown that we are on pace to far surpass our 2020 attendance. This is on the heels of what has been the best tourism season ever for South Dakota. Record numbers of Americans are flocking to the Mount Rushmore state, seeking small towns, state parks, and national monuments as their chosen destination. Many of the visitors to whom I’ve spoken say they’re coming to South Dakota specifically because it reminds them of the America they grew up in. Free. Independent. Unburdened by the constraints and headaches that big cities and liberal ideology force upon them. Mount Rushmore is certainly one of the most recognized symbols in America. But few know our state's motto: Under God the People Rule. That’s an easy standard to live and serve under. The rights of individuals are what birthed this nation, and that independent spirit is what drove America to become the leader of not just the free world, but the whole world. And it’s that same spirit that is driving South Dakota tourism and business growth, making us the number one state in the nation for GDP growth. At the same time, we currently have some of the lowest COVID case numbers in the country. We have also worked hard with counselors to provide services for substance abusers, leading the nation in decreasing the number of deaths from overdose by 15.9 percent. These are all signs that what we are doing in South Dakota is working and helping our citizens. And yet, bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. and the media cast aspersions on the Sturgis Rally while ignoring concertgoers, lavish birthday parties, and the continuing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. It’s a double standard that gives a free pass to so-called elites to do as they please and mandate others to do as they say. It’s a failure in leadership on their part and why more and more Americans are fleeing big cities and blue states for places like South Dakota. As South Dakota’s governor, I have remained within the bounds of my authority and empowered citizens and businesses to make decisions for themselves. Rather than mandating they do as I say, I have chosen to let people take personal responsibility for decisions the government has no authority to make. There's a risk associated with everything that we do in life. Bikers like those attending the Rally this year get that better than anyone. It's no surprise that when I rode my horse through downtown Deadwood at the start of the Legends Ride on Monday, I was greeted with cheers for freedom and for the American flag I carried. At that same event, we auctioned off a painting and that flag I carried for a total of $80,000 to support the Treasured Lives charity, which helps victims of human trafficking. This trip to Sturgis and the Rally was one to remember. When the auction was over, I hopped on a motorcycle and helped lead 300 bikers on a ride from Deadwood to the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, where the celebration of freedom continued. Under God, the people rule – and ride free on the open roads of South Dakota!

Dude your reputation as a pee stained undies wearing, behind the restaurant cock sucker isn't risking much.

Since nobody is looking at the real facts, here are some for Canada. Average influenza deaths per year before "Covid" 13,500. Covid has been with us since september 2019, two years ago, 26000 deaths. Hmmmmm That seems like the same number, since nobody has died of influenza since "Covid" emerged. Covid fear mongering must be making someone rich..... And just for the record, while everyone has been hanging out at home, I myself have never had a moment change in my life, have been working in the same field, doing the exact same thing, going to the exact same places, each and every day since this farce began. Non vaccinated and proud of it. While you are all on hold for living, I am still living. Don't let your fear of dying stop your life. We are all dying since we left the womb, or test tube.

Id rather hve the immigrants then citiots

jsut wait till the covids kill off all the anti vaxxers that were there just like last year when all those refusing to mask up died.

I figure I'll be able to just download the booster over 5g wifi. LOL

Are you fucking retarded? Rhetorical question so no need to answer.

Probably White Claw and another guy, nowadays…….but not too long sgo…..

LOL ... well, how about you just stick with your type then, eh?

LOL!!!

It was a 'sophisticated and vaccinated crowd'.. How fucking gauche can you get???

For 50 she’s definitely a looker

No that would be Whitmer. Why do you think she has a scowl on her face all the time.

Yes, I too long for the good old days when the coloreds had to use different water fountains.

I'm lobbying for a trade. They can have Evers.

Trump and DeSantis like each other. That's what scares you and many like you. Trying to push another false narrative so you can separate the two. It's funny. I can read you like a book.

Legalize it all and it will sort itself out. Get rid of that Narcan shit too

That is the big picture, public school systems are going down a slippery slope where they start to force their agendas and take away the responsibilities of the parents. They really need to just go back to educating our children properly.

Don’t need to go to pm for that we all already know. a unstable older gentleman who is attracted to the same sex. What’s the big secret we need to go to pm for?

That’s a pass a hard pass

I never posted my name here, ever. Others may have, but I certainly have not. Keep insulting my wife, keep making threats, I know who you are and where you live. Weirdo fag. ****Seriously SSFB, how long are we going to let this guy threaten people and insult their families?

Neither do I. However, I don’t think schools need to be providing meals to all without some type of financial test. It leads to wasted tax dollars..…and food.

Yup. Many districts in CT have breakfast and lunch programs available as well, for those kids who might not be getting adequate food at home.

It's imminent

To quote MC in another thread....But how many died?

Scary news articles about shootings, Muslim extremist etc just didn't do the trick. They now have a new and improved Bogeyman

I’ll raise this and also say stop getting tested. It makes no difference but flare up the fear in the low IQ

Holy shit ... you share the same brain as Hack #1, don't you? I'm not arguing WHY prices are where they're at!!!! I was responding that gas prices were, in fact, a dollar cheaper one year ago. Your twin brother, Hack #1, was the one to claim it's costing us a nickel more and to suck it up. Seriously, go back to creating another moronic topic by only posting a link. Better yet, go back to the hole you were hiding in the past several months

Seems very likely !

We're waiting on Ben to send the file ...he said we should have it today

Good for you Jimmy you have another one to chase around and fluff .

If the cdc and the politicians were not manipulating numbers and data from the get go people may be more open to what they are currently selling . But alas here we are with the same sheep who were fighting for the bats and wet markets and the total bullshit death by covid numbers are here fighting for phizer . Shocker

He's a puppet....nothing more nothing less.
