LTE: Amendment H ad disparages military personnel, past and present
Recent political advertisements in print and on electronic media by the authors of Amendment H portraits uniformed military personnel as being "silenced" and not allowed to vote in SD primary elections. While this narrative is a lie in many respects, it is probably expected given the out-of-state Marxist money behind the ads. But that aside, picturing military personnel in uniform in a political ad is either a violation of the Hatch Act or a case of stolen valor for the pictured people.
Oxygen And Bloodless Joints?
How much blood flows through your joints? Would you be surprised if I told you “None”? That’s right! Inside the joint, there is a clear, viscous, slippery fluid that lubricates the joint surface, but no red blood flows inside the joint. Doctors do not want to see blood in a joint. When there is blood inside a joint it is usually because of trauma. That means tissue has been injured and blood vessels have been broken, bleeding into the clear cavity.
The Prairie Doc: It's true - your joints are bloodless

Letter: How many South Dakotans hold multiple jobs?
With all of the hoopla being shown regarding the “very low” unemployment numbers in both South Dakota and the nation, there is a specific number that I wished would be made available to the public. That number is: the number of individuals holding more than one job. I am convinced that our unemployment numbers, in both S.D. and the nation, are somewhat misleading because of the fact that so many people are forced to hold down multiple jobs in order to bring in enough income to raise a family.
Letter: Sylvia Henkin’s contributions are lasting
I just finished reading the front page article in a recent Argus Leader regarding the passing of Sylvia Henkin. It was a fantastic article about a fantastic woman. After finishing, I realized that in trying to describe all of her many accomplishments, it would be very difficult to cover them all. Therefore, I felt a need to write this letter to highlight a major contribution Sylvia gave to her community and to the State of South Dakota that might well get overlooked.
Letter: Re: The NRA’s reaction to mass shootings
Tom Scheinost, Fort Pierre Published 5:04 p.m. CT Oct. 22, 2017 One of the most common reactions to mass shootings (such as the recent Las Vegas incident) that the National Rifle Association gives is the following quote: “It takes a good guy with a gun to handle a bad guy with a gun.” I have often wondered if the bad guy were to join the NRA, would he become a “good guy?” Just wondering.Read or Share this story: http://argusne.ws/2yCqEIy
Letter: S.D. constituents are watching representatives
My letter will be very brief and to the point. The eyes of all South Dakotans will be on our Sens. John Thune and Mike Rounds and our Rep. Kristi Noem to see how they vote on the soon to be introduced “Censure Bill” of our President Donald Trump.
Letter: ‘Few’ subject to inheritance tax
In a recent press release, Sen. John Thune said that one of the first pieces of legislation he introduced was his bill to repeal the death tax. He cited the American Farm Bureau saying thousands of South Dakota farms and ranches would be subject to the death tax today. This is blatantly untrue and Senator Thune must know that. There may be thousands of farms and ranches that pay some federal income tax, but only a very few would be subject to the inheritance tax.
Letter: Are you OK with the health care changes?
In a guest column in The Pierre Capital Journal on May 12, Sen. Mike Rounds promoted the idea that the time to replace The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is now. He said that the proposed American Health Care Act would be a significant improvement over what is currently in place.
Letter: Don’t laugh off Trump’s words
This letter is addressed to the supporters of President Donald Trump.
Letter: IM 22: Follow the will of the voters
As one of the more than 51 percent of South Dakota voters who approved Initiated Measure 22 last November, I am writing this letter as our Legislature and Governor begin the process of a total repeal of this government ethics measure. My purpose for writing is simple. The Legislature and Gov.
Letter: Where is S.D.’s leadership re: pipeline?
I am becoming increasingly disappointed in South Dakota’s state and local city leaders’ total silence regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline protest taking place at the upper end of the Oahe Dam. While the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe takes the lead in trying to protect the water in our Oahe Dam, located just six miles north of S.D.’s capitol, our government leaders are seemingly totally taking a blind eye on what is happening.
Letter: Rounds should stop stirring the political pot
Let us look at the facts instead of reciting talking points. First we have to start with the fact that President George w. Bush and his team of Republican cronies got us militarily involved in Iraq and Afghanistan. The numerous mistakes that were made by Bush, and in particular Paul Bremer acting as his surrogate as the American administrator in Iraq, led to the Sunni uprising and increased intensity of fighting in Iraq.
Letter to the Editor - Daily Leader Extra : Letters To The Editor

Letter: Wear your waders when listening to Donald Trump
I am a 72-year-old South Dakota native who, over the past few weeks, has been listening to Donald Trump’s speeches given at his many political events. While I was listening to his last one, I remembered something my grandfather said to me many years ago. We were both listening to the news on WNAX radio (I was about 10 years old and yes, back then, that is how we got the news).
Letter: Elect Paula Hawks for Congress
Rep. Kristi Noem should be asked at every appearance how she explains Donald Trump and her support of him? She also should be asked why she left the Agriculture Committee that is so important to South Dakota? It defies logic. If Hillary Clinton is elected president, will Noem renew her pledge to oppose anything the president proposes? The United States needs progress and compromise and we cannot let this gridlock continue. If you cannot vote for Trump, do not vote for Noem, either.
