The Agenda 2030 march continues. SF is a designated 15 minute city. Pay attention. https://substack.com/home/post/p-205932173

ATTENTION PENNINGTON COUNTY: You were given FALSE information regarding the legality of hand counted ballots in the precinct. - statutes in comments Your totally incompetent legal counsel threatened misdemeanor offenses for hand counting in the precinct. This is false, and likely lawfare used to keep the status quo. Regardless, these people aren't worth paying a dime to advise your county officials. HAND COUNTY just posted the below. The Hand County Auditor was the Sheriff for 20+ years, and we can guarantee you the counting board will not be committing any election crimes. Fire the stooge that LIED to the commission yesterday, and demand a reconsideration of the agenda item WITH FACTUAL INFORMATION AND PROPER LEGAL ADVICE. BTW - Pennington County offices are still not functioning properly, emails bouncing back, and phones not being answered due to the massive cyber attack. Here's your sign.

Three days to recount ballots with the failsafe fast and efficient tabulators? Really? These campaign attorneys should be obtaining the CAST VOTE RECORDS and BALLOT IMAGES (which are now public record thanks to our group), and conduct a thorough review of EVERY BALLOT. Machines cannot determine VOTER INTENT. In a race separated by two votes, it all comes down to VOTER INTENT. https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/mayors-recount-starts-at-9-a-m-wednesday/

Eric Eneboe, a farmer, township clerk and former county building inspector, said agriculture needs a voice because farmers and ranchers are now a small share of the population. He said data centers may be needed for national defense but should not be placed where they shift costs to taxpayers. “Our taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay to support them,” Eneboe said. Eneboe also said the old courthouse should be preserved within budget. James Kats James Kats, who has finance and accounting degrees and works in property management, emphasized numbers, property rights and long-term planning. “I love number crunching, I love looking at statistics and spreadsheets,” Kats said. Kats said data centers should pay local taxes rather than receive incentives, and he supported development if effects such as water, power, sound and light can be addressed. On zoning, he said people need stability. “They want to know what the plan is and stick with the plan,” Kats said. Nicholas Abbas Nicholas Abbas, a Worthing-area farmer, business owner, and Worthing planning and zoning member, said commissioners must listen before deciding. “I don’t want to be the first to speak, the loudest to speak,” Abbas said. He said a data center would need to be self-supporting and not strain county infrastructure. On rural ambulance service, he said the county should begin studying options before a crisis forces a rushed decision. Chad Skiles Chad Skiles, a Canton EMT and former 911 director, put public safety at the center of his interview. He said law enforcement, fire service and EMS are strained by the rural–urban divide. “One is, obviously, I’m going to say public safety,” Skiles said when asked about priorities. Skiles supported a data center moratorium while the county studies the issue, saying “there is just so much that we need to learn.” Sara Steever Sara Steever, a former company president and business owner, farm resident and South Dakota Ag and Rural Leadership board member, tied agriculture, land use, and community survival together. “If you have fewer farmers, you lose your towns,” Steever said. “It’s just math.” She warned that data centers could become stranded assets if technology changes quickly and said the prison process left residents in the dark. “There was no reason for us to have been kept in the dark that way,” Steever said. Commissioners took public comment after the interviews and then moved the budget work session to July 7 so the new commissioner can participate. The board is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. July 7 in the commission meeting room in Canton, where members are expected to discuss and vote on the vacancy before turning to budget work.

CANTON — Ten applicants for a vacant Lincoln County Commission seat offered sharply different resumes Tuesday night but circled many of the same problems: growth, roads, rural emergency services, agriculture, data centers and public trust after the state’s failed prison plan. Commissioners interviewed applicants for the District 2 seat formerly held by Betty Otten, who resigned June 10 due to health issues. The board plans to discuss and vote on her replacement July 7, the same night commissioners expect to begin the 2027 budget process. The choice will matter quickly for Lincoln County residents. The new commissioner will help decide whether property owners are asked to pay more, whether rural ambulance and road problems get new county money and how far the county goes to limit dairies, data centers and other large projects in District 2. The interviews also showed a tension commissioners will have to weigh July 7: whether to appoint the person with the strongest prior vote claim, the deepest government resume or the clearest fit for the county’s next land-use fights. Brandon Maddox Brandon Maddox, founder and CEO of Silencer Central, framed himself as a business-growth candidate. He said Lincoln County’s pressures resemble those he faced building a company. “I feel like that a lot of the challenges that Lincoln County is currently facing and are going to face are very similar to the challenges that I have faced in business,” Maddox said. He said rapid growth with limited resources is the county’s biggest challenge and commissioners must focus on “the stewardship of the money.” Madeline Voegeli Madeline Voegeli, a University of Sioux Falls education professor who said she and her husband own a Lincoln County concrete business, leaned into process and representation. She said District 2’s commissioner must balance northern growth with rural agriculture. “I would like to continue making those fiscally responsible decisions with how much it costs to grow so quickly but also just maintaining that way of life that we hold dear in this county,” Voegeli said. On major projects, she said the county should follow the comprehensive plan and consider infrastructure before growth. Linda Montgomery Linda Montgomery, a retired nurse practitioner and retired Army Reserve master sergeant from Fairview, said commissioners must be willing to slow down projects even when they appear legally permissible. “Sometimes as elected officials we need to put on the brakes and go, now wait a minute, is this truly, truly right for Lincoln County and its people?” Montgomery said. She opposed hyperscale data centers and said the county’s challenge is sticking to its comprehensive plan. Duane Carlson Duane Carlson, a Brooklyn Township official and former District 2 candidate, drew several public endorsements after the interviews. Carlson lost to Otten by 34 votes in the 2024 Republican primary. Carlson said southern District 2 needs someone who understands farms, townships and roads. “Our southern area of our District 2 needs to be represented by somebody that’s been involved in the everyday operations of farm community,” Carlson said. On roads, Carlson pointed to the Rural Access Infrastructure Fund, a state program that helps counties and townships pay for small bridge and culvert work, but said township funding is not enough. Herman Otten Former state lawmaker Herman Otten brought the deepest elected-office resume, including service as Tea mayor, city councilor, state representative and state senator. Otten said data centers should not harm existing electric or water users. “I don’t feel that that type of business or any other one should be able to come in there and all of a sudden cause rolling brownouts with your power,” Otten said. He said county budgeting requires choices. “There’s no magic wand to wave to make more money to make everybody happy,” Otten said. Eric Eneboe

@CISAgov, DHS Fusion Center and The National Guard Cyber involved in cybersecurity incident in Pennington County shutting down county offices. Wonder how that 2019 antivirus software on the uncertified ES&S EMS Laptop and the nonexistent antivirus on the tabulators is holding up during the Governor's run off election. Very interesting timing, right after @POTUS visit to Mt. Rushmore. https://x.com/PennCoSheriff/status/2073870550523392131?s=20

BREAKING: President Trump has directed Acting DNI Bill Pulte to declassify all documents related to the 2020 presidential election to prove it was rigged. @GeneralMCNews

There is nothing Americans can’t do except get Voter ID (Identification), Proof of Citizenship or, most importantly of all, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER (which the Democrats will do immediately upon gaining Office, and add 2 more States, 4 more Senators, 8 more Congressmen, at least 20 Electoral Votes, and it will be impossible for a Republican to ever be elected President again. I don’t want to be the last Republican President!). GET SMART REPUBLICANS, IF YOU DON’T, YOU WON’T BE IN OFFICE FOR LONG! President DONALD J. TRUMP
