Economic Development in South Dakota, Part 1

Analysis from a constitutional conservative perspective Economic development has been a hot topic in South Dakota for years.

America’s Quiet Military Draft Crisis: The Test That Won’t Lie

For a century, the Department of Defense (now DoW) has asked a brutally simple question: can you read, can you reason, can you do basic math, can you learn a job without turning equipment into modern art? This isn’t about genius. It’s about baseline competence—the kind that keeps helicopters in the sky and generators from becoming bonfires.
