If you’re not paying attention to the case out of Lancaster County where 2/3 of the signatures submitted by a group called Good Government Lincoln were flagged as fraudulent, you should be. While this petition was focused on Lincoln issues, there could be broader political consequences statewide.

Caring Communities – 50 Mile March

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Thu, 08/13/2026 - 12:00am

It’s never seemed more obvious that a whole lot of folks are in need of some good old-fashioned love and support. There are institutions, both governmental and not, that provide financial benefits, but I’m talking about the kind of place where you can actually go and belong. Some of these escapes take the form of a hidden gem of a brew pub while others are purpose-built to get folks back on their feet. A few days back, I was lucky enough to lean into both.

Slash – A Serialized Disaster: Part 4

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Wed, 08/12/2026 - 12:00am

The older man was at least being complicit. He let the kid go and took a seat on the curb – not because we told him to, but because he was clearly overheated and needed the break. “He was cutting tires!” the old man puffed. “I saw him cutting tires!” “I’m sorry,” said the officer nearest him. “You caught him slashing your tires?” “No – not mine,” the old man snapped. “I was sitting in traffic and saw him with a blade over in that parking lot there. And I saw him cutting the tires. I got out of my car and went and grabbed him.

Mitch McConnell Is A Great Politician.

Mitch McConnell is a great politician.

I just wish he was a better American.

As I write this, they say that the senator from Kentucky is alive, lucid, and recuperating. If that’s true, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I also wish he would step down and let an able-bodied person do his job.

A Fun Senate Race

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 08/07/2026 - 12:00am

This would be funny if it wasn’t so serious: the political gamesmanship that’s being played between the Ricketts camp and the Democratic Party.

It’s funny how Ricketts thought he was pulling a fast one by getting a very conservative man to call himself a Democrat to confuse voters on election day.

It’s funny how the Democrats outsmarted him by getting a real Democrat to win the nomination and then pull out of the race, giving a boost to the Osborn campaign.

Slash – A Serialized Disaster: Part 3

“Hey look,” I said to Jadey as we waited in the Chipotle drive-thru. “You did awesome at Starbucks – you really helped that girl, but this is the kind of situation where things can get stupid and out of control quick. If you’re going to be with me – I need you to do exactly what I say. That might mean waiting in the car – even if it’s boring, ok?”

Jadey didn’t agree right away but also didn’t protest right away like she was prone to.

Before I could add on, the kid at the window leaned out and handed me our bag of food.

Do You Want An Electioin Denier Running Our Elections?

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 08/04/2026 - 12:00am

I started my career in talk radio during the Clinton Administration. During that time, I had numerous Republican callers complaining about the dumbing down of America.

But over the years, the Republican leaders got smart and realized they could benefit from the dumbing down of America.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all Republicans are dumb, far from it. I will say that the party works to appeal to the dumb ones to get votes, and the smart Republicans just go along for the ride.

Lynne Walz Liberal Lol

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Mon, 08/03/2026 - 12:00am

When you think of the bastions of progressive liberalism, three cities automatically come to mind: San Francisco, California; New York, New York; and Fremont, Nebraska.

Yes, Fremont, Nebraska, home of Lynne Walz. The candidate who Governor Pillen’s spokesperson said was propped up by far-left donors and staff. Pillen’s campaign said that Walz wants to “trick Nebraskans by pretending to be a moderate.”

Unity

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 07/31/2026 - 12:00am

There are many in the media who, with the help of the politicians, talk about how divided this country is. They label states as being either red or blue, like everyone in the state thinks a certain way. They find one person or a small group with an extreme left or right viewpoint and want to say that everyone on that side of the aisle feels that way.

Getting before the cameras to talk about the division in America is good for ratings. Stoking that division helps get people elected.

A Nebraska Road Trip

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Thu, 07/30/2026 - 12:00am

I needed a break, so I went on a road trip last weekend to visit a few rural Nebraska towns that have been in the news lately. I wanted to get a taste of what was going on in the less populated parts of the state. So, I hit the road to visit two towns that have been in the news recently: McCook and Lexington.

I wasn’t quite sure of what I’d find. I wasn’t even quite sure what I was looking for, but I wanted to get a feel not only for those two towns but for rural Nebraska in general.
