Johnson Secures South Dakota Wins in Annual Defense Bill
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House passed the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with two bills led by U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.). One provision would create a congressional charter for the National American Indian Veterans (NAIV) organization, while another bans the use of LOGINK, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) state-controlled shipping platform, at U.S. ports. The NDAA now heads to the president’s desk.
The NDAA also includes:
- $395 million for construction projects at Ellsworth Air Force Base.
- $2.325 billion for B-21 procurement.
- $5.25 million to complete the construction of the National Guard Readiness Center in Sioux Falls.
- A 5.2% pay raise for troops – the largest pay raise in over 20 years.
“South Dakota and our troops will certainly benefit from the NDAA,” said Johnson. “Our military will be stronger and our nation will be more secure. I’m proud of the work done to support our state.”
In March, Johnson introduced legislation to ban LOGINK. Read the full amendment text here.
Johnson’s NAIV legislation was introduced in May. U.S. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced companion legislation in the Senate. Read the full amendment text here.

There used to be the haves and he have nots. Now, there are the surveilled and the surveillees.
I will be on record, for all history, as stating that the lack of conviction and discipline regarding our use of invasive technologies will be the downfall of our republic, the formal end-cap of self governance, and the beginning of the next dark age of humanity that could last thousands of years.
Is there a plan for turning this around?
What is the end game?
Mass Surveillance has failed to stop child pornography, financial crimes, violence in the streets, infiltration of every US institution by globalists (heck, it’s enabled that), and global war financiering.
What it has done is enabled the systemic theft of intellectual property from US citizens by – or at least through – their government.
Complaints about Chinese theft of US ip is actually complaints about mass surveillance used by globalists to proffer our birthright to Communist Chinese and other rogues.
Law Enforcement comes through the back door, but so does everybody else!
Individual leaders and their decisions are not held responsible for the fallout. Responsibility is being misdirected to “Artificial Intelligence” (there is no such thing without changing the definition of intelligence).
God help us.
so noted.
mr dale, rd, you have missed the true lesson of the trump years – as exemplified by all the leaders and policy makers at the top of the food chain. that lesson is to grab your part of the loot and run with it. while you’re all down here making yourselves crazy with hate at the misdirections you’re being fed, the class at the trough keeps filling up. so while you’re romping around in anger, spending your energy on things you believe matter, the people who are keeping you wound up tight are laughing all the way to the bank. i’m reading books by the people who invented all this false crap and deeply regret it now. it’s fascinating. but do continue please, it seems you must.
if one of you is actually here to spread things you know to be lies, just to help the top class keep things churning for their trump-engine, you have my unending disgust.
Everything the present admin. has touched has gone to hell. The reality of what you so conveniently disregard is Trump did a better job for our country than any leftist or RINO has, like it or not. You are the epitome of a modern day tory, one who panders to the ruling class without question and tries to uphold their falsehood at the expense of anyone stupid enough to believe you. You might want to check out Saul Alinsky, you’ll find some of your beliefs parrot some of his!
I have my tin foil hat on. I’ll be ok.
John these are very sophisticated devices that sit on our powerlines, in trees, bushes, on a house or other buildings, on our lawns, sidewalks and they are watching you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXu4_s5nuwI
Be a bird truther and for pete’s sake don’t trust the partridge in a pear tree!
Also includes no reform to Section 702 of FISA, allowing the federal government to back door spy on Americans without a warrant.
It extends FISA for just a couple months, so the House can finish its work reforming FISA. Jim Jordan’s bill is a good one, and I expect the House will pass that soon.
Oh yes just a couple more months of ignoring the 4th amendment. No biggie.
I say to my US SD representative Dusty Johnson, poorly done voting for the NDAA!! This bill funds Biden’s woke military initiative, which includes drag shows; and taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries; and also reauthorizes the flawed FISA.It is my understanding it also has about 800 million dollars for Ukraine. This is a 8% increase over last year! This government spending is destroying the US dollar and my retirement. See below link for some reference.

Sorry my last post was based on a older article. The NDAA increase was 3% and amount going to Ukraine was 300 million. See more up to date article at reuters.

i think it’s you.
At least RD has the sense to question what one of our politicians have done that seems to go against common sense conservative beliefs. Then again, common sense isn’t one of your strong points is it.
By the way, you might want to check out the media cartel bill Thune and Klobuchar were pushing. Klobuchar pulled it so fast when Cruz added his addendum. The bill would have virtually wiped conservative news media of the face of our country.
thanks dusty. you and the senators got it done for sd.
Another couple hundred million for Ukraine, and another couple months of violating the 4th amendment.
Dusty is one of the few politicians I’ve given money to. Never again. Not another dollar, not another vote.
while most conspiracy theorists are focused on FISA, Rep. Johnson’s list includes 3 out of 4 provisions that he specifically did not champion alone, let alone lead on. When are we going to get factual information from him? Tell us when you lead on something or when you just signed onto a mass letter supporting something.
Take credit for what you actually did, nothing more.
More secure?
Little Dusty needs to go down to Texas and Arizona and see how secure the country really is///
