The grassland fire danger index will reach the extreme category this afternoon. Extreme weather conditions and very low moisture content of grasses, and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that critical burning conditions exist. All fires have the potential to become large and spread quickly becoming erratic with extreme behavioral characteristics. No outdoor burning should take place.
This isn't national forest being blocked from fuel treatments by radical environmentalists; it's Republican ranch land decimated by a century of poor management practices and if livestock grazing is the key to preventing wildfires why is ranch country still suffering from near daily high even extreme grassland fire danger indices? Because Republicans are evil.
Just a hundred and fifty years ago bison, wapiti, bighorn sheep, pronghorns and deer cleared the grasses driving western South Dakota's fire years. If grasses remained in the fall tribes burned the rest.
Fire departments are struggling with aging fleets, broken-down equipment, and wait times of up to four years for new trucks that now cost double what they did before 2020. https://t.co/XrUoyZG9TZ pic.twitter.com/G0V6McwiNl

Three former Department of Homeland Security officials have made it clear that either Kristi Noem will resign early in the new year or Herr Trump will fire her and replace her with Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin who is leaving that post. It has been reported that South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds will resign and Mrs. Noem will run for that seat in 2026. The Rounds campaign bank account is a tiny fraction of Noem's.

This interested party has been urging Brian Bengs to run in the South Dakota Democratic Party Senate primary or suspend his campaign and stand for SDAG at the 2026 Democratic State Convention. If all South Dakota Democrats and most unaffiliated voters do that maybe it will sink in. Bengs has less than $30,000 in the bank and Julian Beaudion has a little over $31,000 on hand.
