Mykala brings the truth home concerning the carbon pipeline, tax credits, and her promise to fight to keep the globalist agenda out of South Dakota. VOTE JUNE 4 for SD FIRST REPUBLICANS!

This is a re-vamped version of the initial video done to show how many current legislators and government employees also hold precinct committee positions in their counties. Why do they do this? What's the end goal? Why the hostility by leaders of the SD GOP towards taxpayers wishing to get involved as we've been told to do by our own party?

Should we hold a Convention of States or simply adhere to and uphold the Constitution as it is? Leah Southwell, program director for The John Birch Society, requested to come on our podcast to discuss the other side of this continuous push to have a Convention of States in order to change the Constitution to include term limits. She is a wealth of information on this matter and I love how the John Birch Society has a desire to ensure our Constitution is enforced and upheld, as well as teaching The People how to think critically, ask logical questions and develop skills to think through all possible outcomes and consequences for an idea presented to us rather than blindly believe what we're told. This interview was the most educational one I've done thus far! Website: https://jbs.org/ Our website: www.govwatchsd.org Follow us!

District 4 has some great people stepping up to primary "establishment" candidates in a region of the state that seems to be the "center of power" in SD. Dylan is a rare breed in that he has a good head on his shoulders and a backbone, ready to fight for and represent the people of South Dakota.

I continue to be blown away at the caliber of candidates I've had the privilege to interview. From Tesa Schwans to Matt Smith and Rick Weible to Dylan Jordan...it's clear to me that God called up an army of the faithful, obedient and humble followers of His for our state. How will all of these elections pan out? I'm not sure, but I don't think anyone can help but be encouraged after listening to Mykala and witness her steadfast faith first hand.

I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Tesa and discussing the current state of our government, why she chose to run, and where faith comes into the mix on our journey of finding our voice that God gave us and that the Constitution exists to uphold.

"I hope this is a way that I can give back to South Dakota..." While his reputation as a nationally known election integrity expert precedes him, Rick shares his background and many years of experience serving his community as a city councilman and mayor and how he can use those skills to truly represent the people of South Dakota in his district where he is primarying Casey Crabtree, one of the main characters in the pipeline/property rights saga in South Dakota.

***SCREENSHOTS OF EMAILS ARE AT THE END*** DID JOHN WIIK, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SD GOP, JUST ADMIT THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN? Reading an email conversation he had with a SD taxpayer, Rhonda Brown, it sure looks like it! She and I also talked about the possibility of him committing election interference concerning his actions with Justin McNeal's campaign. We also talked about Dusty Johnson & his voting record, her story living in Colorado then moving here, what she witnessed with a seemingly systematic approach to liberalizing states, home schooling and living outside of this broken system despite the pressure from people to comply. What a brave, courageous, smart woman who isn't afraid to think critically, speak out and fight back.

I read an article from a copy given to me last week while at a meeting in Spearfish. This article is written by Rand Thomas Williams and was published in the Black Hills Pioneer on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. Elevatus Justice Needs Study for Lawrence County: https://lawrence.sd.us/DocumentCenter/View/789/Justice-Needs-Study-PDF Black Hills Pioneer website (I couldn't find anything about this article, so you may need to contact them for a copy): https://www.bhpioneer.com/local_news/ All content on my Rumble page, my website and social media extensions are for informational/entertainment purposes and my opinion only.

A January 2024 meeting seemed to reveal the true posture of the school board towards parents who show up, question, and express their true feelings about the quality of education and management their school district receives. It seemed to ruffle some feathers of certain school board members. Audio of entire meeting: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ToT9i5EaawQMjk2hubKGtgTXnb7IDafG/view Meade 46-1 website: https://www.meade.k12.sd.us/o/msd/page/board All content on this Rumble page, our govwatchsd.org website and social media pages are for entertainment purposes & my opinion only.

It seems as if the SD establishment is panicking right now and shoving through bills that give them more control and strips those at the county level of the power they rightfully and legally hold. It seems like the Establishment wants a completely centralized government to where they have full control over how the state is managed and our elections are done, stripping us of our voice and abilities to make a difference at the local levels. This is seen through how they "hoghoused" HB 1140 which would ban hand counting ballots and local county commission authority to hold elections like they want, as well as SB 201 which takes power away from counties yet again to protect themselves from the carbon pipeline land grab.

As I finish up my "housekeeping" projects of moving content off of FB on to Rumble, we're taking a look at the saga of the Butte County commission's approach to their cannabis ordinance. SO much happened during the last couple of years that it would take an entire video series to cover it. Hopefully this one video from my perspective will help people get an idea of what happened. All I can say is: here's this info I'm sharing with you and you do what you want with it!

Come down the rabbit hole with me while I compare Butte County's cannabis ordinance to Minnehaha's ordinance in order to see the difference between a county that didn't want marijuana versus a county commission that seemed to want it in Butte as much as possible.

The Butte County Commission discussed election integrity at a recent meeting (February 2024). It seems like they're wanting to use it for the 2024 election rather than hand count ballots, despite residents showing them findings of these machines' abilities to be hacked in other states and counties during the 2022 election.

Today we look at a senate bill that passed the House and Senate that would tax the potential production ability of shelterbelts. It's the same thing they already do with cropland: they tax cropland based on its "potential" amount of production rather than what it actually produces. Sound like a racket to you?

I came across interesting Dakota Scout news articles today that caught my attention and wanted to share with all of you! -The Lt. Governor's son is the new SD GOP Executive Director (Uh..nepotism, anyone?) -The bill to allow more oversight and accountability for how the money from the governor's office of economic development was resurrected.... -The SDPB is funding a podcast about the "Ravnsborg Saga" ...will it be objective or is it just another twist to make Ravnsborg look bad to keep the government's preferred narrative alive?
