Fiscal governance

The annual process to approve federal government spending requires Congress to pass and the president to sign 12 bills into law before the start of each fiscal year. Legislative consideration of these spending bills begins in the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, and, ideally, each bill moves through the legislative process individually until all 12 are enacted prior to September 30, the end of the federal fiscal year.

Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownsville this week. What a great day for Nebraskans who like reliable, affordable energy that does not pollute our environment. Always-on, 24/7/365, baseload generation. What we need more of in Nebraska. Even with our nearly-worst-in-the-nation taxes, load is growing in Nebraska. We need more generation built in Nebraska, and I hope Nebraskans support making new generation nuclear.

I lost track of how many times I was required to drive to Whiteclay to report on a protest about the beer stores there. Those four stores sold up to 3.5 million cans of beer a year, and were the liquor stores of choice for the adjacent Pine Ridge Indian Reservation right across the Nebraska-South Dakota border.
Politics yield bad border policy

Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. An influx of illegal immigrants can drive down wages for working Americans, drive up drug and human trafficking, and strain government resources meant for American citizens.
But the negative effects of illegal immigration—and the unsecured border that allows it—do not seem to motivate the Biden administration. Throughout his time in office, and especially this election year, only one consideration seems to motivate President Biden’s border and immigration policies: politics.
