State Government According to Hubbel: They’re all in on it. Whatever “it” is.

In case buying a domain name and pointing it to my columns about her wasn’t enough, I’ll probably make Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lora Hubbel mad again when I point out that she’s not exactly inspiring the masses by claiming crazy stuff like this:

Can someone enlighten me? It’s pretty easy to say “They’re all in on it.”  But lacking any proof or substance, it’s a lot tougher to describe exactly what “it” is.

When Lora claims Sutton “gets the perks from GOED like any other corrupt establishment politician,” exactly what “perks from GOED” is Hubbel talking about? Did someone get a bag of those little plastic pins from tourism to pass out at an event, and she didn’t?

Exactly. It’s a load of made up crazy talk.

She can’t describe it. She can’t provide proof of it. But it’s happening. And she knows it! And we can expect to hear more of this kind of drivel over the course of a long election. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Lora has had unsubstantiated pronouncements like this, and it’s probably among the mildest.

Two years ago, when State Senator Deb Peters handed Hubbel her hat and beat her in the last election she was in, Lora was all over the media with statements claiming that “8 shotgun deaths emanated from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.

Was she claiming that a GOED shotgun death squad is roaming the countryside? Well....  Again, a shockingly bizarre claim, but true to form, Lora provided no substantive proof to back it up. I’m not sure what you do with this kind of garbage.

I’ve described it before as a candidate trying to say they’ll “govern by Facebook.” It’s giving the bizarre credence just because someone read a facebook post about it, no matter how ludicrous or unsubstantiated it is.

A quality we would want in our State’s chief executive? Absolutely not.

  1. I am starting to wonder if Lora covers the nail holes at her house and office to make sure no one is spying on her and always checking rooms for surveillance equipment.

    1. What she said in her post is pretty accurate. Ask Marc Westerhuis if he thinks his brother murdered his children and wife.

        1. It’s a shell game. Attorney Steve Sandland has all the documentation. He was personally involved and he much more of an expert than me. Stace Nelson could help you out also. Michael Wyland is another expert in the field of non-profits. He has a wealth of information. Angela Kenneke has reported factual stories, although she could go deeper. There are all kinds of people that know a lot more than me. But, I do believe what they have to say. Lora has piles of information also. Maybe Stace will interview some of these people on his TV show.

          1. Will Lora schedule another “Breaking New” press conference that she has all the facts and evidence linking Billie Sutton, our Governor, Kristi Noem and Marty Jackley all working together in some grand corruption scheme? Probably smoking a couple of Cubans with gin & tonics?

        2. Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$. The students at USD connected the dots with pictures.

          1. My daughter was one of them connecting dots.

            Still doesn’t answer my question. What evidence do you have? What concrete evidence do you have about GOED shotgun assassins, and these alleged “perks” that state politicians get from GOED?

            Because it sure sounds like crazy talk to me.

            1. And what is your evidence Pat……what concrete evidence do you have that Richard Benda could take a stick, pull the trigger then lean the gun against the tree. Let’s see the autopsy report. Show me that a safe can burn up but not the file cabinets or the bodies. Prove it. Let’s see those surveillance tapes.

              1. Tara, I’m not the one trying to run for office or prove crazy stuff contrary to the official record.

                You have evidence of a shotgun assassination squad? Provide it.

                1. I don’t have evidence. Do you? Are the official records official. The Mitchell Daily Republic has only stated Scott Westerhuis allegedly murdered his family.

              2. Tara what surveillance tapes are you talking about? The only one I heard of was the one that recorded somebody dropping off a load of live pheasants.
                Are you suggesting the pheasants have started shooting back?

                I guess that’s plausible; they are, after all, from China. Probably sneaking in on EB-5 visas and arming themselves with shotguns.

                I think we have the makings of a video game here. Chinese pheasants with visas and shotguns.

                1. Anne after what we put those poor pheasants thru every hunting season in Lora’s world I cannot blame them if they did arm themselves and start shooting back.

                2. That was at the gas station. I am referring to the ones around yard and driveway.

                  1. WHAT surveillance tapes from the yard and driveway? If there even been such a system wouldn’t it have been destroyed in the fire?

            2. So Pat, what does your daughter think about the diagram. They did a great job. I would use that as evidence.

      1. Oh yeah. The people who believe Scott Westerhuis couldn’t possibly have done it always explain their position by saying he had the textbook profile of a family annihilator.
        Go figure that one out.

      1. That is indeed scary! With her wild imagination someone innocent could get hurt or killed. That victim could be mistaken for a space alien or secret establishment Ninja.

          1. Actually, given the subject matter involves Lora, unfortunately, that’s completely on topic.

  2. Lora did graduate from Trump University and she has bought his books. She is using her education from that esteemed institution and from a master. Kinda like Ted Cruz’s father involved in the JFK assassination and all the other wild unsubstantiated claims.

  3. I personally witnessed Troy Jones take enough artificial stimulants while at GOED to keep a horse awake for a week. Why isn’t Folgers illegal yet?

  4. It would behoove PP to look into the GOED. Its all about Economic Development. What was Northern Beef about? Economic Development. What was Gear up about? Economic Development. What was Knight and Carver about? Didn’t hear about that one? Economic Develoment. What was Howard’s Trump-tower-like hotel about? and it huge wind-blade repair industry that fizzled? A huge waste of taxpayer’s money also coming out of Economic Develpment. What about Heartland Power….you know the Economic Development that Russ Olson is now the CEO of? What about the Deadwood Casino? more failed Economic Development from the GOED. What about the deforesting projects where those who turn forests into crop land in other states can ONLY get their check cashed in SD? Tell me, Pat, all about these if you know so much…

    1. I asked a question. What evidence do you have? What concrete evidence do you have about GOED shotgun assassins, and these alleged “perks” that state politicians get from GOED?

      Or is it all just what you read and rant about on facebook?

      1. People aren’t that stupid Pat…..ask Billy Sutten. That was pretty much his speech…….The culture of corruption and cleaning up corruption in SD.

        1. but Lora said Billie Sutton was part of the corruption so why should we ask Billie?

          1. Lora part of corruption? ha ha. That’s a good one. When you sit back and don’t say anything, then, you are part of it.

          2. Lora part of corruption? ha ha. That’s a good one. When you sit back and don’t say anything, then, you are part of it. Lora’s not too quiet.

        2. What evidence does Billie have? He is the one campaigning on corruption.

          1. I’m sorry Tara but you are talking in circles but I do look forward to seeing you serve in the Hubble/Ravnsborg administration as Chief of Staff. The lid will get blown off on all kinds of things.

    2. You forgot Ridgefield farms………you can google all this information. There are hundreds of articles.

      1. I was really hoping for some crazy internet threads today. DWC delivers with the help of Lora Hubbel and half a gun threat included in it.

        I can’t order a pizza in my office hallway without 4 people hearing about it. But a state can have a trigger man with a corrupt system of insider payments? C’mon Tara. There must be an inch of reasonable common sense to where you understand that there is not a group of people inside the Government plotting and executing people.

        1. I am just saying these deaths should have been fully investigated. Why wasn’t there any testimony from the Sheriff or Chief of police or fire Chief? Just curious along with hundreds of other people. I am one that doesn’t like to be silenced. I am just trying to be sensible. Just stating common sense questions.

          1. Have you and Lora considered getting permission from the land owners and doing your own forensic investigation? Lora thinks she is very qualified to do so.

    3. Oh yes, Russell Olson; I got a robocall about him once claiming that he had called me a terrorist who didn’t deserve to go to college. Or maybe it’s my husband who is the terrorist who didn’t deserve to go to college. Anyway, it didn’t prevent him from inviting us to his home for fundraisers.
      He’s sneaky like that!

    1. Ask Stace, Dan and Gary. The robocall was from them. They said Russell called me a terrorist who didn’t deserve to go to college.

  5. Do you think this woman is mentally sound? I don’t want to show her any disrespect in any way, but it looks like she might need some health. Poor lady.

    1. I agree and now knowing she carries a gun is even more disturbing. A danger to society,

  6. The gun lovers probably think it’s great…..C. Ermle, are you mentally sound for making a stupid statement like that?

    1. Do you ever go back, read your own comments, and think “man I sound nuts.” …….. becasue you should.
