It started with breastmilk, but what spilled next was far messier. For Julie Frye-Mueller, a former District 30 State Senator with a reputation for speaking her mind, the accusations against her were bizarre. A 2023 conversation, which went nationally viral, allegedly involved breastfeeding. And at the center of it all? Amanda Marsh, a legislative staffer with secrets of her own: a whole filing cabinet full.Carbon Capture Pipeline Multimedia StoryLEAD: South Dakota, with a population density of 11 people per square mile, thrives on agriculture, tourism and healthcare.

As the skulls of women fracture in contact sports, sex offenders dressed in drag read story books to children, and the LGBT acronym hoards the entire alphabet to itself: the pendulum is swinging, and the LGBT community is fracturing.This pristine 140-acre property located in the Black Hills of western South Dakota, formerly owned by an infamous polygamist cult, can be yours for a steal of a price-- only $6.9 million.  FLDS Black Hills compound. Jet-setting SD Governor Kristi Noem hasn't been shy about racking up her frequent flyer miles. From Jackson Hole, CPAC, to SLC, and more but Noem must've had a log in her eye when she took to social media to accuse House Republicans of holding the 2022 budget hostage because they wanted to go on "vacation."
Governor Kristi Noem's miniature purse-dog Tim Goodwin is all bark and no bite. He likes to pick on women his own size.
The sidewall of my tire got a visit following the publication of Pierre Outsider's March 2022 edition. The list of women who House Majority Whip Tim Goodwin (R-D30) has picked cat-fights with has grown within the last couple of months. Last October via blog post Rep. Goodwin called Sherry Bren, who was summoned to the Governor's Mansion for an "intimidating" meeting with Noem's daughter, a "lower-level state employee" who was "basically the problem." Then again in January, after former Noem-staffer Caroline Woods challenged the Governor's record on fairness in women's sports in the Rapid City Journal, Rep. Goodwin obediently barked along at her too. He accused Woods of leaving state employment due to "irreconcilable issues" and of being a "relatively new resident" to Rapid City and South Dakota. The only possible explanation for his odd behavior is that he has a crush on the Snow Queen and lives vicariously through 8'9" First Gentleman Bryon Noem. The South Dakota House Republicans have a 500 lb elephant: his name is Majority Whip Tim Goodwin.
