Olson escalating scrutiny of SDWC

Editor's note: it's always exhilarating, hopeful and reinforcing watching two despondent GenXers like Shad Olson and Pat Powers pounding the shit out of each other.

The assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and the attempted slaying of another Minnesota lawmaker and his wife early Saturday motivated quick action by South Dakota legislative leaders who moved today to scrub lawmakers' private addresses from the state's legislative website in effort to protect them from similar attacks.

The move comes too late in the case of a few conservative legislators who've been targeted for doxing and exposure to violent threat by deranged political activists and even at the hands of jettisoned former SDGOP blogger, Pat Powers, who eleven days ago, published the private home address of Aberdeen Representative Brandei Schaefbauer under the guise of "investigating" Schaefbauer's connections to Aberdeen businessman, rental real estate investor and MAGA gubernatorial candidate, Toby Doeden.

During the 2025 legislative session, Schaefbauer sponsored House Bill 1259, signed into law by Governor Larry Rhoden, to keep biological men out of women's private spaces including bathrooms, locker rooms and sports and activities travel sleeping rooms. The controversy over transgender use of public restrooms and other women's private facilities swiftly made Schaefbauer a target of violent threats and online harassment by leftist haters and "trans allies," who consider words violence but oddly see actual death threats a proportionate political response.

On his political commentary-turned-tabloid smear factory website, South Dakota War College, Powers' publication of Schaefbauer's private home address simplified search and verification work for nefarious actors seeking to confirm Schaefbauer's whereabouts, just days before the lawmaker assassinations and additional attempts in Minnesota.

Previous 'War College' posts found Powers publicizing the private address of Clear Lake Representative Dylan Jordan as well as the addresses of Jordan's father and grandparents. Vital details for three generations of a South Dakota lawmaker's family, no waiting, thanks to RINO scum blogger, Pat Powers.

South Dakota Codified Law 22-19A-1 defines stalking to include willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly harassing another person through electronic, verbal, or written communication. This could potentially apply to doxing activities if the doxing constitutes harassment.

Federal law is even clearer, making the intentional dissemination of physical location a federal felony if it can be proven as an intentional attempt to expose the victim to harassment, intimidation or violent threat.

Doxing has become weapon of choice on the part of leftists and establishment political ideologues who use community gangstalking and intimidation as a means to subject opponents to the whims of the violently unhinged social media flashmob.

Sensing the urgency of the moment and hoping to avoid similar tragedy in South Dakota, legislative leaders from both parties acted decisively Saturday to remove lawmakers' home addresses from state internet sites and issued a joint statement, mourning the deaths of Minnesota Speaker Emerita, Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, as well as the attempted murder of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

"As leaders of the South Dakota House of Representatives and the South Dakota Senate, we are heartbroken by the senseless act of political violence against our fellow lawmakers and neighbors in Minnesota. We stand together to strongly condemn this attack, which has deeply shaken the Minnesota Legislature."

"We mourn the tragic loss of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. Our deepest condolences go out to their loved ones, colleagues, and the people of Minnesota."

"We are also keeping Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in our prayers as they fight for their lives. We stand with their family and community during this deeply painful time."

"In this moment of grief, we also pray for peace, compassion, and a renewed commitment to civility in Minnesota and across our country."
