I was reading an article in the Nebraska Examiner the other morning about the race for Nebraska’s Attorney General.
It was an informative piece that mentioned the history and qualifications of each candidate. But there was something Mike Hilgers said at the end of the article that really has me concerned.

“I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21. The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me… Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.”

Want to have some fun? Play this little game.
Meet with a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or even your spouse and secretly record a conversation with them. Try to get them to say something stupid.
Then, take the recording home and find 8-10 seconds of what they said and take it out of context. After you do that, write some commercial copy around it to make that friend, neighbor, co-worker, or spouse out to be the dumbest, meanest, or most clueless person on earth.
Record it and put it on the internet for everyone to hear.

Years ago, I had a girlfriend who had a serious drinking problem.
When we were dating, we’d go out on a weekend night and have some drinks like so many others do. And yes, there were times we were overserved.
But we were young and horny, and it seemed like the thing to do. I didn’t think anything was out of the ordinary. After a night of drinking on a Saturday night, we would have a glass of champagne in bed on Sunday morning. A little hair of the dog, if you will. It seemed romantic.

Veila’s mother hunkered over her small, bubbling cauldron. The smell of the brewing herbs hung heavy in the air, pungent and sour. Veila detested the familiar stench. Beyond her father’s growing blood cough, little Adum had endured a steady and persistent rattling through most of his early years. Her mother’s tea was renowned in the village for its ability to soothe symptoms, but it was only comfort. Veila stood by while the old woman used a ladle to push a floating bone out of the way and scooped some of the translucent brown liquid into a waiting vessel.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a way to make a story sexy. Make a story so interesting that it gets the attention of the media and the politicians. Make a story about the plight of Ukrainian immigrants who are caught in a Catch-22, emotional enough to get people to really give a damn.
You see, I recently met with Amanda Hall. Amanda formed an organization called Orel Alliance. Orel Alliance was started to aid those Ukrainians who fled to America to be safe from the unprovoked Russian attack on their country.

There are so many perfectly good reasons for a PAC to attack Senator Ricketts.
You can attack him for his vote for that drunken philanderer Pete Hegseth, allowing him to put us in Iran with no strategy to win or get out. You could shine a light on his pro-measles vote for RFK Jr. or point out how he was against releasing the Epstein files. Remind voters of how he worked to negate the will of 71% of Nebraska voters and the stupidity of saying that medical marijuana will kill children.
Yes, there are plenty of valid reasons to run attack ads on our junior Senator.

I wonder what hurt Governor Pillen more: the time he fell off the horse, or when the Farm Bureau dissed him right before the election.
Few endorsements in Nebraska politics carry more weight than support from the Nebraska Farm Bureau. Last week, when the Farm Bureau put out their list of endorsements, Pillen’s name wasn’t on it.
The Farm Bureau endorsed him 4 years ago, but after seeing the job he’s done, they’ve decided to sit this one out.

The snow fell fast and steady. Veila stood, arms crossed, and watched the large flakes accumulate on the world around her. In a life of bleak expectations with even worse disappointment, one of her only favorite things was this sort of calm, quiet precipitation.
