By Shelli Dawdy As I noted yesterday, Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler held a press conference earlier this week wherein he announced a methane gas drilling project that was just beginning at the Bluffs Road facility. The City’s Public Works department had commenced drilling 60+ wells and installing a piping system to capture methane gas from [...]

By Shelli Dawdy Last Friday, I filled in for the incomparable Kaye Beach on her Axxiom for Liberty radio show.

Working with state legislators and other activists, Kaye Beach of the very popular Axxiom Amuse site “introduced” [...]

The conventional wisdom of the uninformed, clueless voter is not necessarily true. At least not in Nebraska. We have noticed a very large spike in our traffic numbers on this site since we began posting election related information.
