[@ruthrichardson2717]

Thank you for posting nationaly. I reside in Arizona, love how South Dakota handles themselves showing the rest of us it truly is possible for us all. Thank you for inspiration and giving God his placebin your hearts and state.

Kristi Noem is a breath of fresh air!

[@maryschmidt5965]

She would make the best first woman president, a true love for America and her state

[@SunnyCarnivore]

I agree!

Me too

[@MajidPatriot-si7vx]

I say best VP first then next election best president.

[@DarrellShirts]

SD Needs her as much as our nation does. SD has first bids and when she decides that job is assured to be carried onward.. I hope I'm able to vote for her as the presidential candidate. I'm 70, so may God bless US all!

[@robertbornemann1601]

Amen to that!!

[@fiberbeads]

Why would I sit and listen to this, living in Illinois? If we had 1% of the strength and direction you are exhibiting, Illinois would be greatly improved. It was a pleasure to watch your State of the State Address. I've been to your state once, and I loved it. Gov. Noem, you are doing everything right. And you make it looks so easy!

[@douglasyoung554]

Then perhaps it's high time to get out of that ILL- state....don't ya think??

[@bennyoc714]

Just stay away from Socialist Dems! False promises

[@fiberbeads]

@douglasyoung554 I plan on it. However, leaving would mean uprooting a 94 year old man--something i would not do against his will. Can I suggest a more gentle approach in your discourse?

[@douglasyoung554]

Nothing personal, and no offence intended.....well just so long as you're not still clapping and cheering for Biden.....I'm just very direct in my approach these days..@@fiberbeads

[@tomthelen8069]

If someone from your home security company sold/gave your home security codes and directions on how to approach and enter your house to someone from out of town and they came inside and ate your food drank your beer and refused to leave and demanded the keys to your car and your credit card for gas and groceries would you be upset? You would call the police but they just told you over the phone that their boss said you “owe” them and should relocate to the garage and be happy that they didn’t DEMAND you get off of their property? When you ask the name of their boss, they say Commander Biden? Can you say “home invasion”?

Yup. Impressive..

[@marklucas6114]

The first ALL states must do is put employee owned companies first. It's the only way to keep hardworking Americans jobs right here in the USA. She is the kind of person ALL state leaders must be. Believe in less government and putting the American people first.

I'm not from SD but am one of the few conservatives in my state. Wow, what a speech. Well written and well delivered. I want Kristi Noem to be my president. She seems authentic and articulate... the anti-Biden. No airtime given to woke nonsense. I would want to move to SD but i dont want to leave my mountains.

[@IamCareyann]

Yesss! Kristi Noem is the type of leader this country needs! Shes firm in her conviction but fair to her fellow human beings.

[@viettung1255]

She's very good jobs for governor, but lady is not wise enough for control the whole world.....

[@SunnyCarnivore]

I love listening to her and I live in Florida. My husband wants to move out of the heat and congestion we are now facing here so I told him I would consider SD. Funny thing is I had orders for SD when I was in the AF but chose to stay in Texas (that was a very long time ago)
