The Name Game

Published by jason@omahadail... on Mon, 01/19/2026 - 12:00am

Since this administration is so keen on renaming things like the Kennedy Center and the Department of Justice, I propose we rename a few other things in Washington. For instance, the Center for Disease Control could now be named the Center for Disease Chaos, The DOJ should be renamed the DOJE for the Department of Jeffrey Epstein, and while we’re at it lets rename ICE as well.

If it hasn’t happened in your family, you know families that have had it happen to them.

Their adult children have moved away from Nebraska to seek better job opportunities. Maybe you’re considering leaving to find those opportunities yourself.

I’m curious why things need to be so crazy when it comes to our immigration policies. Why can’t we hire more ICE agents if necessary and have them do their job calmly without the masks and fear tactics?

I’ve started and stopped writing this column a number of times. I may end up stopping this time and starting over again as well. Let’s see how it goes.

I know I need to write about the United States’ actions in Venezuela, but I’m not sure what to say about it. It’s a complicated situation and I’m not confident we have the right people in place to handle it.

2026 Unicameral

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 01/02/2026 - 12:00am

It’s a new year, and the next session of the Unicameral is about to begin. There will be a number of laws proposed this year, as there always are, but the main issue our state senators need to address, in my opinion, is Nebraska’s budget deficit. It’s currently projected to be $ 471 million.

I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year.

Investigation Into Pillen’s Pig Farms

I don’t expect our politicians to be perfect. After all, they’re human, and as humans, we all have flaws. But is it asking too much for us to expect our politicians to at least try to be decent?

I was in my car this morning listening to CNN, and I heard politicians debating what the Democrats call the Affordable Care Act, and the Republicans call Obamacare.

If you are a Trump supporter who wants to dismiss his comments on the death of Rob Reiner as “Trump just being Trump” and not something much more sinister, I hope you’ll continue reading and then reconsider your views.

Guests At The Clink

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 12/19/2025 - 12:00am

Let’s take a moment to put away the emotion, the partisanship, and the division and look at what’s happening at the so-called Cornhusker Clink in a truly rational, logical manner.

To do that, I’m going to start with an analogy that should be relatable to everyone.
