Trump in Grand Island Vance in North Platte Not the two towns I would go after in Nebraska, but maybe they know one is a lost cause and the other is on the brink. (Also, google says the D&N Event Center can hold ~1200 people)

You would think Paramount+ would give us the option to watch the Chiefs game while TB vs Pit is in OT on network TV, right? You would be wrong.

8000-10600 Iranians killed in war with USA 137000-165000 Ukranians killed in war with Russia 72225+ Palestinians killed by Israel since October 2023 (Source: I googled it) But golf course.

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

(Watching Rutgers vs Maryland) Every end zone should have 4 replay cameras focused on the out of bounds lines. Makes no sense that the best “down the line” shot is 100 yards away. May have cost Maryland the game.

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

I bet I’m supposed to find a moral victory in playing Indiana close. The expectation in Lincoln needs to be higher. Close isn’t good enough.

Didn’t the Nazis push eugenics to try to selectively breed white individuals and involuntarily sterilize or mass murder those they found undesirable in an attempt to create their equal of an elite human being? Now replace “sterilize” with “deport”.

Q: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight. So how do you decide who is the next Elon Musk? VANCE: One, does the person fill a position that simply cannot be filled by an American worker? Two, is this person a truly elite human being?

I… I don’t think he could be more wrong if he tried. And there’s an alarmingly large number of people who believe this.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

I’m worried we will need to remember this one

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

Music confession: The Wendy’s album isn’t half bad. College aged me would tell people it’s corporate shill rock and those bands sold out, but I also would have driven to The Bottleneck in Lawrence on a random Thursday night to see that live.

And remember, in Nebraska we are supposed to be upset about Dan Osborne and his comments about republicans in Red Cloud.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on Democrats: "They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches"

So will McDonalds be releasing a response diss track to Wendy’s “Salt In The Wound” or did they learn a lesson from Drake and are going back off from the GOAT of fast food emo?

Dumocrats. Does he go on rant after rant about how there’s a “b” in the word dumb and many don’t know that but Trump is super smart and knows there’s a b?

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Yeah, what psychopath would want his name on a building associated with an assassinated President

I’ve always been surprised there isn’t a more educational part of Union Omaha’s noon game. Quick video package on where our international players are from, how far a player runs in a match, how far a team travels in a season, etc.

Always the midterms. Likely so Trump can blame things on the dems when tariffs kick in (I believe some Canadian tariffs start Jan 1), thr war continues, and we don’t get out $5k checks.

RTE: “When will the war in Iran end?” Trump: “I think very soon, probably right after midterms. “They are trying to hold out as long as they can to complicate the election.”

The depths ICE will go to when they think nobody is looking.

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

Social Club is going to participate in a volunteer opportunity right here in Omaha on the morning of August 22nd that reaches beyond cultural lines and helps those who need it most. However, more hands are always needed. If you are available and wish to help, DM for more info.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

According to Google, the CDC said 280 kids died from influenza in 2024-25. Now he’s taking away their vaccine requirement. Indeed, very bad things can happen. Just remember who signed his name to it.

Trump: "Nothing bad can happen from what we're doing. Nothing bad can happen."

To me reads like “I don’t think what happened is considered assault”, not “I didn’t assault her” She would likely also make dinner because she’s likely in a situation she doesn’t feel like she can safely leave and knows the consequences if she doesn’t.

He added, “If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?” 4/4

They make good beer. I was in the Madison taproom a few weeks ago. The live music was great and the vibes were immaculate.

Omaha needs a Waffle House. I’ve been up since 3am for work and I could go hard for a cheap diner breakfast with questionable food safety practices and the chance someone may try to fight me. I likely will go to Summer Kitchen Cafe, but while delicious, that place is clean and safe. Not the same.

Dear World Cup, You were magical. Thank you for being great to America and I think bringing the best out of the American people. Take care and see you in 4 years. Enjoy the ranch dressing. Andrew

Trump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

I’m torn between “get the call right” and “human element of officiating needs to still be in play”. At some point, VAR is just going too far.

It’s Tuesday! These shenanigans are not scheduled until Friday so he has all weekend to negotiate peace and end the war (again).

WAR ERUPTS: CENTCOM says the U.S. has begun launching "a series of powerful strikes against Iran," citing Iran's recent attacks on ships attempting to transit the unauthorized Omani route through the Strait of Hormuz.

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.
