What is the American Dream? 

I have heard of it as “owning a house, surrounded by a white-picket fence, with a family you love inside.”

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.  

Does Omaha need to get it’s groove back? 

Or has the old excitement become so normal that it’s just not as noticeable anymore.  Has all the road construction dampened our enthusiasm for progress? 

About twenty years ago or so there was a real buzz about Omaha.  We had just built the arena and convention center. We were building a new stadium with a 25 year guarantee the College World Series would stay in town. Events like the Olympic swim trials, brought new luster and international attention to our fair city. 

Many of you reading this know that for years I was a radio talk show host. I worked on stations that carried syndicated programming like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage, as well as other conservative hosts. 

I considered myself conservative, but never as conservative as most of those guys.  I rarely thought a person was bad or the enemy just because they had a different opinion than mine.  I thought of them as a fellow American with a different point of view. I still do.

Former Nebraska Democratic Governor and Senator Bob Kerrey’s name is in the Epstein Files, and the Nebraska Republican Party is trying to use that to their political advantage. They are demanding that all Democrat candidates plus independent candidate for senate Dan Osborn return any political donations Kerrey may have given them.
