Did you know the federal government operates a little-known bank account that isn’t subject to annual oversight from Congress, yet pays out billions of dollars in settlements a year? It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. The Judgment Fund is an obscure government account the U.S.

Daylight savings time has just ended and now everyone has had the chance to “fall back” to standard time.

Nebraskans often talk about how we feed the world. It’s true now more than ever. The crops and livestock we grow and the goods we make reach far-flung places across the globe. Diners in Japan, drivers in Germany, and farmers in Africa all benefit from the products we make and grow. Our international relationships are having a big impact.

Some of the discussion during the recent special session on redistricting brought up what appears to be a growing divide between urban and rural areas of our state. In this frame of mind, Lincoln and everything east is considered “urban” and everything west of Lincoln is “rural”.

Spontaneity is the spice of life. A few years ago, on a whim, my wife and I made a decision to purchase season tickets to the Omaha Orpheum Theater. It grants us the opportunity to take in about eight touring Broadway shows a year. It’s been the perfect escape for us. But the pandemic put that on hold for about 20 months. That was until last Thursday, when we were able to return to Omaha for our second time seeing “Hamilton.”

A woman had been feeling short of breath for several weeks. Physical activities which had previously been easy for her were becoming a chore. In fact, simply laying down resulted in difficulty breathing. She had gained some weight and her legs were swollen.

It would be hard to overstate the relief Americans felt in 1918 when they heard the “war to end all wars” was over. World War I, the deadliest conflict in history to that point, had ended.
