Sen. Deb Fischer distorts statements by Dan Osborn about immigrants. Sen. Pete Ricketts wants us to hate China over land ownership and TikTok, yet presents no data. I have been to China, Cuba and India. All have good and bad policies and people, like Nebraska. Kamala Harris wants to find sol…

For years people have worn buttons and T-shirts and placed yard signs in support of their candidates. I drive throughout Lincoln from Adams Street north, Sixth Street to 84th and all the way home to Hickman and I've seen four signs for Trump, hundreds for Harris.
I don't understand how folks can believe false claims lacking any evidence while dismissing facts staring them in the face.
It鈥檚 hard but necessary to believe what I read about the process of the current election. When I read that Donald Trump and JD Vance refuse to participate in interviews that "fact-check" what they say, it seems I鈥檓 in some fictional world. Is it true that they feel no shame in demanding the …
We are a nation of immigrants: No person in America has the moral standing to deny entry to other immigrants. And our nation has more than enough physical space, social strength and the robust legal framework to bring these individuals fully into our society through expedited citizenship. Ou…

Regarding the medical office proposal at 70th Street and Nebraska Parkway, cars are going 55 miles an hour west on Nebraska Parkway when the light is green, and 45 miles an hour south on 70th Street when the light is green. Both are very busy streets. It might be difficult to enter from a st…
