The Nebraska political scene was rocked by allegations on October 4 that Representative Jeff Fortenberry was facing a possible federal prosecution. A Facebook page set up by Fortenberry to raise money for a legal defense fund indicated that: “Biden’s FBI is using its unlimited power to prosecute me on a…
I have been a friend and supporter of Senator Ben Nelson since I met him at a fundraiser in 1994. Nebraska was lucky to have Nelson as both a governor and a U.S. Senator. I regard him as a great guy and a conscientious public servant.
I just finished reading…
Unfortunately for the country, and especially the unvaccinated, the pandemic continues to rage. It’s largely a pandemic of the unvaccinated. In Nebraska since January 1st, 2021, 94% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations and 95% of all COVID-19 deaths were among not fully-vaccinated people.

Senator Lou…

The news cycle has been consumed by the swift Taliban conquest of Afghanistan and the evacuation (now) of over 120,000 people by our heroic servicemen and women. After a poor start, the evacuation has accomplished a great deal. Saving over 120,000 lives is very commendable. Only the U.S. …
