The feckless cluelessness these GOP governors display… is jaw slacking. Many of the people living in South Dakota have been on that land for nearly a thousand years prior to the arrival of the “illegals” — the whyte men and women, from across the ocean.

Yet here in 2024, it is [whyte] Noem trying to prevent the distant brothers and sisters of the Oglala, the rightful owners of all this land, from entering the place upon which Noem and her ancestors are… lawless squatters.

Damnation. I applaud this very well phrased response from “Frank Star Comes Out”.

Here’s the story, in full — and a bit:

…A South Dakota tribe has banned Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from the Pine Ridge Reservation after she spoke this week about wanting to send razor wire and security personnel to Texas to help deter immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and also said cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations. . . .

“[To preserve] the safety of the Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the Oglala Sioux Tribe!” Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out said in a Friday statement addressed to Noem. “Oyate” is a word for people or nation.

Star Comes Out accused Noem of trying to use the border issue to help get former U.S. President Donald Trump re-elected and boost her chances of becoming his running mate….

Of course, the Sioux teach that we belong TO the land, not the other way around. And of course, they open their arms to all who come in peace. They are, in a word, far “better” — as humans, than the small-minded, embittered Noem (or Abbott or DeSantis) will ever be.

[Since Elon Musk has also uttered some deeply ignorant, hateful things about the border… this is cross posted here. Musk, too ought to consider himself banned, here.]

Yes — this nonsense must… end. These rogue “governors” need to accept that their people (in the Dakotas, especially!) will literally starve, without the… rest of us, supporting them (and her). Soon enough, Tangerine’s whole schtick will be in the review mirror.

Onward, grinning just the same.
