South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a rising GOP star who refused to shut down her state during the coronavirus pandemic, is said to be wavering on a bill passed by the legislature that would prevent biological boys from competing in girls’ athletic events.
Article by Bob Unruh from WND.
In a series of tweets Friday, she pointed out possible legal loopholes in the bill and is asking lawmakers to make some adjustments so she can sign it.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported Friday that after saying she was “excited” to sign the bill, she is “wavering in her support for the legislation due to pressure from groups in South Dakota.”
The report said the NCAA, South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and an Amazon plant in Sioux Falls have been overtly pressuring the governor to veto the bill.
But the plan has strong support from Republican and faith organizations in the state.
Noem said as recently as March 8 she wanted to sign the bill, which also establishes there are only two biological sexes, male and female, and there are “inherent” differences between men and women.
On Twitter, Noem said she’s returning the bill to lawmakers, asking them to make changes.

“I believe that boys should play boys’ sports, and girls should play girls’ sports. I’m returning House Bill 1217 with the following recommendations as to STYLE and FORM,” she wrote.
“As the legislative findings in the original version of the bill set out, ‘with respect to biological sex, one is either male or female.” The legislative findings also state ‘physiological differences between males and females include ‘those most important for success in sport: categorically different strength, speech, and endurance.’
“That is why House Bill 1217 properly provides that females should have opportunities to play youth sports on teams comprised of females and against teams of females.”
The problem, she explained, is that the “vague” language of the bill could create obstacles.
“For example, Section 2 of House bill 1217 requires a student athlete to verify, each year, that the student ‘is not taking and has not taken, during the preceding twelve months, any performance enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids.’ Presumably, this requirement was included to address a student taking these drugs as a part of a gender transition, but House Bill 1217 is not limited in this way. Rather, if a male student athlete failed to make the football team, and later learned that another student on the team was taking steroids without disclosing it, the student who didn’t make the team would be entitled to sue both the school and the steroid-user for damages.”
The same part of the bill also creates an “unworkable” administrative burden on schools to collect verification forms. And it imposes a requirement to monitor them. Such requirements also could impact collegiate athletics and how athletes qualify for competition on a national stage.
She said four changes are being recommended to HB 1217 in style and form.
They limit HB 1217 to elementary and secondary school athletics, which are controlled by South Dakota law. They also remedy vague language issues.

“The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment allows for the law to treat women and men differently. In this instance that equal protection afforded women absolutely should apply on our state’s elementary and high school playing fields,” she wrote.
The issue is being addressed by a number of states because Biden administration policies open a door for males athletes who say they’re female to dominate women’s athletics.
The Daily Caller cited a study that found state lawmakers have introduced 61 pieces of legislation in 25 states criminalizing gender transition surgeries for children or requiring biological males to compete against biological males.
A recent poll found a majority of voters believe men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
