Julie Reeder Publisher In previous pieces in this series, as well as other editorials over the past year, we’ve learned that with Critical Race Theory, race is primary rather than individuality, even though some proponents believe race does not biologically exist (like gender).

Our economy was sinking faster than the January sun in a Nebraskan sky.

Millions of American lives were irreparably harmed by Carter's missteps, and my family was among them! This was my first glimpse of what lies beyond the far side of...
