Christianic white supremacist Earth hater Ismay popped for Class 6 felony

With short, fat, white Travis Ismay stalking county commissioners and patrolling Butte County for aliens it’s a wonder whether Belle Fourche can protect its own residents. But sure, migrants fleeing oppression and seeking asylum in the United States are criminals according to Butte County Sheriff Fred Lamphere who also accompanied Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson at the State of the Union address. Western South Dakota is a de facto portion of the American Redoubt where white christianic Republicans are holed up for the End Times.
An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for recently re-elected Rep. Travis Ismay, R-Newell, on the felony charge of intentional damage to a highway. Around the same time as the indictment alleges Ismay damaged the highway, an individual allegedly used a road grader, without authorization, to grade a portion of Wilson Road, near Belle Fourche, Dwayne Heidrich, who was Butte County highway supervisor at the time of the incident, said. Fred Lamphere, Butte County sheriff, did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication. Under South Dakota law, “a sentence of imprisonment in a state correctional facility for any term suspends the right of the person so sentenced to hold public office” However, if found guilty and fined, state law would not prevent Ismay from serving in office. Ismay won the District 28B house seat June 2 with 55% of the vote. He beat Larry Schmoltz in the race. [Felony arrest warrant issued for state Rep. Travis Ismay]

SD Earth haters introducing invasive species into Black Hills streams

South Dakota's Earth hating congressional delegation obstructs attempts by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to streamline the agency as it weans support from a hatchery notorious for introducing invasive species to Black Hills watersheds and into the waters of the United States. And with the Trump Organization supporting the release of hybrid non-native trout by South Dakota's Department of Game, Fish & Plunder native species are being threatened in the Missouri River basin.

Larry Rhoden and his other white meat supporters purport to be small-government conservatives but they're really just helping themselves instead of finding a way for communities to finance rearing for private ponds and begging the feds for more moral hazard money while pretending to be self-reliant.

Earth haters like Rhoden believe America is only great when Republican presidents are in power and revere an executive who is gutting the Environmental Protection Agency, promising to clearcut the Black Hills National Forest, pledging to mine public lands sacred to Indigenous peoples, erasing the workforce and putting septic systems in sensitive habitats all in the name of making white America great again. 

Finescale dace was the only fish identified in Black Hills streams by the Custer Expedition in 1874 but the creek chub and white sucker are also native. Brown trout are not native to the Missouri River either but recently, GF&P fisheries staffers electrofished for them in Spearditch Creek.
To do this, a net was placed in a shallow area of the creek to prevent fish from escaping downstream. The team starts 100 yards downstream and walks upstream. Every fish is netted and a fin is clipped so that in the future, people know that it had previously been caught and migrated to other areas of the study zone. All the fish in the first 2 transplants he participated in recently swam away on their own. A sampling of Rapid Creek fish later this summer will help determine how many fish have survived.

NM Earth haters now supporting government buyouts of private land

Over a half million wildfires are started by arsonists every year in the US and if you live in the wildland-urban interface government can't always protect you from your own stupidity. 

Southern and southeastern New Mexico is home to many descendants of the Confederacy who back a convicted Republican felon as unitary executive and are quick to point fingers at the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management for wildfires. So, Earth haters funded by the Koch and DeVos cabals through Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund and scattered in the American West derailed President Joe Biden's America the Beautiful Initiative. Herr Trump's Interior secretaries blame wildfires in the West on “radical environmentalists” despite most acres burn on private ranch land in Republican counties

Today, the Seven Cabins Fire in the Capitan Mountain Wilderness has burned some 32,000 acres and is still growing but the fire itself isn't the only hazard because flooding can compound the threats to recovery.

With help from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Lincoln County is offering to purchase at-risk properties at pre-damage rates and demolish or relocate the houses, permanently converting the land into open space to act as a buffer against future floods. With $235 million in funding secured, officials hope to buy some 400 properties from willing sellers — a proposal that could dramatically reshape the 8,000-person town. Ruidoso is a conservative place, not one where you’d expect leaders to welcome what some Facebook commenters have deemed a government “land grab.” Now, Ruidoso’s mayor estimates that recovery could cost a billion dollars. Even with tens of millions promised in federal aid, it didn’t seem responsible, fiscally or otherwise, to keep rebuilding in areas that would flood again and again.
