The hypocrisy of Republicans wanting to arm teachers while systematically ending funding for public education is simply barefaced drunkenness.
Entire front pages and trillions of electrons are being dedicated as hysteria grips southeastern South Dakota after a shooting incident at Harrisburg High School.
But Energy Transfer Partners and the Republican-owned South Dakota Public Utilities Commission are using that event to drown out its intent to commit ecocide after SDPUC voted against an environmental impact study of its Dakota Access pipeline route.
After watching how easy it is to pull the wool over SDPUC's eyes TransCanada is ending its efforts to engage landowners and has decided to go straight to Nebraska's GOP-owned Public Service Commission.
Man-camps in North Dakota are becoming ghost towns and Royal Dutch Shell is abandoning its efforts to drill in the Arctic in part because of tanking oil prices but one Republican donor continues its land grab in South Dakota.
Last cycle, Representative Kristi Noem enjoyed a $2500 face lift from Dakota Access' parent, Energy Transfer Partners, the Texas company that gave nearly $321,000 to Republicans and less than $27,000 to Democrats.
South Dakota can provide few skilled workers for such excessive ruin so labor will come from outside the state except for pimps exploiting women in the sex trade.
NorthWestern Energy, another client applying PUC lubrication after priming the election pump, is expecting to achieve orgasm at the hands of Nelson, Chairman Gary Hanson and Kristie Fiegen any minute now.
Note Iowa's Steve King was greased by Energy Transfer Partners. Value in that state's farmland is in free fall.
While prices slide, Charlie Hoffman likes the idea of condemning South Dakota land so a Canadian company can sell refined tar sands bitumen to China and Bakken crude can create jobs - for pimps.
As GOPers like don Juan Thune, Tike Mike Rounds and Krusti Noem plot how to jam the Keystone XL pipeline up America's armpit girls as young as ten are for sale in the Bakken.
A quick google search finds no archaeological assessment has ever been done along the route in South Dakota by Energy Transfer Partners while some was done in Iowa. Other than uncovering human remains it begs the question: if approved, what other archaeological or paleontological finds could halt construction?
Remember the last time anyone in South Dakota won three awards for environmental reporting? Me neither.
Armed guards in schools but no archaeology cops to assess impacts to lands sacred to the first Americans is Republican hubris writ large.

The Dakota Access Pipeline’s permit hearing before the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission will last two weeks in Pierre and see testimony from landowners, pipeline representatives and commission experts. A march against the pipeline took place Saturday at Lyon Park. Opponents marched down Phillips Avenue to Falls Park, where speakers talked about the upcoming hearing and their concerns over potential leaks, water contamination and other issues. “We really want people to be aware of what’s going to happen with this pipeline hearing,” said Peggy Hoogestraat, a landowner and vocal opponent of the project.Read more about Chris Nelson's conflicts of interest here and here.

Over the past six months, Forum News Service has investigated an emerging issue in the Bakken oilfield region of western North Dakota: sex trafficking, including the trafficking of children. We reviewed hundreds of documents and conducted more than 100 interviews with law enforcement officers, victim service providers, victims rescued from the sex trade and experts who have examined the issue regionally, nationally and internationally. In the past year, federal and state courts in North Dakota have charged seven people with offenses related to sex trafficking or felony facilitating or promoting prostitution. The cases involve allegations in Bismarck, Minot, Williston and Dickinson, including the case of one man who pleaded guilty to enticing women to travel to the “fracking areas” to work as prostitutes and two accused of operating brothels in Oil Patch cities.

TransCanada lost eminent domain for private gain fight. Time for @POTUS to reject now http://t.co/rhtGD1cKJv #nokxl pic.twitter.com/WetTCCAPt6— Jane Fleming Kleeb (@janekleeb) September 30, 2015
