I hope all of our visitors had a blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving holiday. I took an extended (and unannounced) holiday break myself and very much enjoyed time with family. I even enjoyed chasing dust bunnies and scrubbing word work in preparation for our usual Thanksgiving visitors. My computer was off and if a TV was…
Amanda Teegarden (OK-SAFE) gives the joint committee seven recommendations which we hope will be heeded by ALL of our elected officials and representatives who are charged with the public trust in any way, shape, form, or fashion.

Ironically, Shanty Town Lincoln is located squarely on one of the best spots in the City to serve as a symbol of that city government’s, and therefore, elected officials’ and bureaucrats’ mismanagement of taxpayer dollars for a very… more
Think I was rude in my recent article? Too hard on poor Jane Kleeb? Over-emphasizing her leftist tendencies because of the pipeline issue? Unfortunately, there’s more. Problems in politics and public policy seem to be like cockroaches; for every one you see there are at least one hundred more in the wall. The TransCanada pipeline… more
