14 months old is still considered a puppy. I bet they gave that dog zero training since they got it.

Idiot woman. I wanted her for President at one time.

No it is not. a pup is under a year. More like an adolescent. And months of oporotunity for the dog to correct behavior.

All of which doesn't matter. The dog caused harm, and caused harm to someone else's property.
You don't keep that around. You don't encourage those genes.

It is the cause against another's property that probably most justifies the dog being put down... Interaction between neighbors would demand it (along with restitution)... Followed by justification in that the dog attacked its owner, followed finally by the blood lust. Any one would be cause to put the dog down.

Things are different in S. Dakota as opposed to those living in the city, suburbs and probably even rural areas.  I get that so, I'm not going to pass judgement on her. I just think that it was odd for her to mention it in her book; though I haven't read it.  I'm going by what the press is saying.

This is not enough to stop me from voting for her.  From her record, she's pretty conservative.

Straightforwardness is also an oddity among politicians - One greatly desired.
I will reserve a final judgement on the matter until I have the proper context, and will find favor with Noem in the mean time. What she said is true. And proper. And said even though it would be unpopular.

That's all good.

Good point.  I 2nd that.

(And EverTrumpers should love that UN-self-conscious openness, right?)

In whose world?

In my day generally, 12 months was considered the end.  Still is in dog shows, except many specialties still have special 18mo classes whereas AKC all-breed never does.  Especially for small dogs but even most big dogs cannot really distinguish between a 1yo and 5yo.  Heck many of them look fully mature at 6mos.

If it’s a hunting dog it had to have some kind of conditioning, perhaps real training.

Don’t know the full story here but se la vie.  Sounds like farm living to me.

She probably did the appropriate thing in the particular situation, but it's an odd thing for a politician to admit doing.

I'm from Pittsburgh. 'Nuff said. They will not get to the World Series in my lifetime. Thankfully, I'm old enough to have seen Clemente, Stargell, et al., in person.

Especially in light of Biden's latest anti-coal move.

Coal is an antiquated, dirty source. Natural gas is cheaper and cleaner burning and easier to transport. Your state of WVa (if you are a WVA mountaineer) is now one of the largest NG suppliers in the country and power plants are moving towards NG.
NG jobs in Wva has taken over coal jobs years ago.

Natural gas has killed the coal jobs in WVa, not any President.

Where will all that electricity come from?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the last time I looked, there hasn't been a newly permitted full-size power plant authorized in decades, and certainly not even a tiny percentage of the approximately 700 new full-size nuclear plants needed to provide the electricity needed to replace just half of the current U.S. vehicle fleet with EVs.

The mad rush for EVs will simply mean that, like private jets, ground transportation will be the purview of the wealthy and government officials - just as it was in the Soviet Union and every other leftist "paradise".

177 new natural gas power plants are being built right now across the country. 2 are going up near me. One is already online. Georgis just added a new reactor and it will supply all their needs.

US factories are going solar. The new Black & Decker plant in KY is powered 100% by solar and they  are selling off the excess.
