SD Earth haters lining up for primary bloodbath
And why do Earth haters like Pat Powers insist on using apostrophes (and ellipses) where they don't belong?
Remember when SDGOP Chairman (& former 32-year Obama Democrat) Jim Eschenbaum claimed "We don’t need any more money thrown to the state GOP than what we need to operate?" (..[sic] at the same time he noted they wanted to weed out RINO's [sic] from the party). I'm thinking that the party might be having some second thoughts about their chairman declaring they don't need any money. Because it appears that things are looking bad at the SDGOP in terms of what they're seeing in donations. How bad are they getting? Had this note sent to me the other day by the party through an intermediary not long after they filed receiving no donations that month other than from the treasurer on their FEC Report: Things are so bad that the party actually came crawling to me for something the party put out 2-3 years ago? That's funny! (You can about guess my reply). [Powers]

Florida man on left-wing stuff
Florida's Republican governor DeSantis on why he voted against FEMA and climate resilient infrastructure funding: “When they start talking about things like global warming, they typically use that as a pretext to do a bunch of left-wing things. We’re not doing any left-wing stuff.” #TexasFlood

Trump, tariffs driving rural economy into the shitter: Goss
Creighton University's Ernie Goss follows the economies of nine midwestern states including South Dakota's. That state recorded a 20.4% loss in exports in June (the worst in the region) in a regional manufacturing economy that's down nearly 10,000 jobs and first-time claims for unemployment insurance are on the rise.
For the 13th time in the past 14 months, farmland prices slumped below growth neutral. The farm equipment sales index slumped to a very weak 22.7 from 23.9 in May. The June loan volume index declined to 73.1 from 75.0 in May. The checking deposit index fell to 40.4 from May’s 45.8. The index for certificates of deposits (CDs) and other savings instruments dropped to 50.2 from 60.4 in May. Rural bankers remain pessimistic about economic growth for their area over the next six months. [Mid-American Economy]
