September is National Breakfast Month. Breakfast is the most commonly skipped meal of the day. Many times we think we are saving time or calories by skipping breakfast. A quick healthy breakfast can help you make healthier choices the rest of the day, increase your physical activity, and help you not to be tempted to eat a calorie and fat laden snack midmorning or overeat at lunch. It also help to replenish your body and have a positive impact on your general health, reports Nebraska Extension Specialist Lisa Franzen-Castle.

For years, Vice President Kamala Harris has supported some of the most extreme electric vehicle (EV) mandates proposed by her Party. She consistently supported EV mandates as U.S. Senator for California and as a presidential candidate in 2020. For three and a half years, the Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has pushed an EV mandate that would require up to two-thirds of cars and trucks to be electric by 2032. Despite Harris’ record, just months before an election, the Harris campaign is lying about her beliefs. The campaign now claims the Vice President doesn’t support EV mandates. It’s a pathetic, transparent attempt to distance her from the unpopular mandates she has long supported. That lie should not go unchallenged.

To serve is an honor. That is especially true in serving one’s country.

It is miraculous to consider how much access and exposure we have to information through our computers, phones, televisions, radios and newspapers. Unfortunately, we need to be on guard because too much of this buzz can be false information.

Experts are calling it a “child care crisis.” We have too few child care workers, too few child care providers, and too many parents seeking care that can’t be found. Nine counties in Nebraska don’t have a single licensed child care facility. Tuition at child care centers is more expensive than tuition at the University of Nebraska. And the problem, sadly, is only getting worse.

Our country is headed down a path of fiscal disaster. The Biden-Harris administration has created high prices through their reckless spending. It’s contributed to a national debt of over $35 trillion. That’s over $266,000 per household. It’s a second mortgage for Nebraska families. It’s raised grocery prices 22%. It’s slowed growth and stifled opportunity. Over the past two weeks, I’ve held a series of Federal Spending Briefings across Nebraska to highlight how I’m fighting this reckless spending.

“Magic of Sensory Play” In the vibrant world of childhood, where every sight, sound, and texture offers a new adventure, sensory play holds a special significance. For young learners, engaging in sensory activities isn’t just about having fun—it’s a crucial part of their development.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer (not counting skin cancer) in both men and women, only behind prostate in men and breast in women. Although it is the second most common, it remains the leading cause of cancer death in America. Approximately 1 in 5 cancer deaths a year are attributed to lung cancer. More Americans die every year of Lung cancer than colon, prostate and breast cancer combined.

It’s August. You might notice the crispness in the air or the slight yellowing of the leaves or maybe even the wafting fragrance of roasting meat.

This week, I signed into law a series of bills, including those that will provide funding for property tax relief. The main bill, LB34, includes caps on local spending authority for cities and counties. LB34 also frontloads the Property Income Tax Credit to property tax statements. This means Nebraskans will no longer loan the government money. They will see a direct decrease in taxes paid. That step alone will allow 45 percent of Nebraskans to receive a 20 percent tax savings that they have never realized. That’s a big win.
