'Your Future Would Be A Lot Less Free': Kristi Noem Torches Harris Pro-Government Stance in Clair Shores, MI

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr During a town hall event in Clair Shores, Michigan, on Saturday, Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' pro-government policies, warning that such an approach would erode individual freedoms and expand government control over citizens' lives. Speaking to an engaged audience, Noem drew a stark contrast between former President Donald Trump's policies and those advocated by Harris. She recounted her experience working closely with Trump, particularly on tax reform, and praised his trust in the American people to make their own financial decisions. "President Trump trusts you with your own money to go out and make the best decisions for your family," Noem stated.

Gov. Kristi Noem Pledges To Never Mandate COVID-19 Vaccine For Schoolchildren

  South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (Photo courtesy Gov. Kristi Noem/Twitter) On Wednesday, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem pledged not to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Her pledge came after the CDC's advisory committee on immunization practices recommended the COVID-19 vaccine's inclusion in the vaccines for children program. Noem, who was running for reelection, accused her Democratic opponent of supporting mandatory vaccination for children wishing to attend public school. Recent polling from South Dakota State University shows Noem in an unexpectedly close race with a lead of just a few points. A conservative rising star and possible Dark Horse 2024 Republican Presidential Contender Gnome has touted her COVID-19 record in her campaign, including her opposition to lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr DeSantis Upholds Tradition: Defending Calls to Exclusively Fly U.S. or Florida Flags on Public Buildings In a recent statement, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida defended his stance on advocating for public buildings to fly only the U.S. or Florida flags, highlighting his belief in the importance of maintaining a clear and unambiguous display of national and state pride.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
