Overall, Nebraska is pretty good at keeping secrets. There are still tons of people who have no idea that ours is a state full of impressive natural beauty and enviable attractions. Even for those of us who have lived here forever, there’s always more to explore and discover…like these 15 places.
1. Kregel Windmill Factory Museum, Nebraska City
This fun museum is all about that most ubiquitous of rural Nebraska sights: the windmill. Kregel Windmill Factory Museum is filled with the machinery and tools that were used to manufacture windmills at the beginning of the 20th century.
2. Florence Mill, Omaha
Just down the street from the Mormon Winter Quarters is the historic Florence Mill, built under the supervision of Brigham Young in 1846. The original mill has been rebuilt and added onto several times over the years, but it contains the only remaining structural components of the original Winter Quarters settlement. Today it’s an art gallery and a meeting space – there’s even a farmers market on the grounds in the summer.
3. Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, David City
This fairly new museum is the nation’s only museum displaying exclusively agrarian art. Bone Creek has received much praise from the art community for its thoughtful, complex, and well-organized exhibits. This is a must-visit for anyone who sees the agricultural life as rich with artistic opportunities.
4. Happy Jack Peak and Chalk Mine, Scotia
Those of you who know and love Happy Jack will be shocked to learn that there are so many Nebraskans who have no idea it exists. This diatomite mine – and the big hill and gorgeous surroundings outside – should be a required destination for all Nebraskans. Read up on its history and plan your own visit on the attraction’s website.
5. The Speakeasy, Sacramento (Holdrege)
Being located in the middle of nowhere, in a town that doesn’t actually exist anymore, doesn’t hurt the Speakeasy’s business at all. If anything, it seems like people are drawn to this mysterious oasis of gourmet food in south-central Nebraska. The formally trained chef brings a creative element to the food that is hard to find in rural areas. Read more about the Speakeasy here.
6. Alpha Omega Labyrinth, North Platte
There are, perhaps surprisingly, quite a few labyrinths in Nebraska. This one, however, was constructed as an Eagle Scout project in 2007. We think that makes it pretty unique. The Alpha Omega Labyrinth is located just outside of the First United Methodist Church in North Platte, and the public is welcome to come walk the path and seek enlightenment.
7. Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge, 30 miles north of Oshkosh
The peace that you’ll feel out in the still air on the western edge of the Sandhills is indescribable. This place is truly magical.
8. Old Poor Farm Animal Sanctuary, Dodge County
This farm has a long and fascinating history – you can read all about it here. Today it houses animals that would otherwise have nowhere to go. It’s open seasonally for historical tours.
9. Heron Haven, Omaha
It comes as a surprise to many that there’s such a relaxing, serene natural place within Omaha city limits. The spring-fed wetland sanctuary offers education on conservation and natural history, and of course it’s the perfect place for birders.
10. Terry’s Steakhouse, Virginia
Yes, Nebraska, there is a Virginia – it’s near Beatrice in Gage County. In the extremely tiny town with fewer than 60 residents is a steakhouse that’s definitely worth the drive. Terry’s Steakhouse is a true gem with more than its share of devoted fans.
11. Johnson Lake State Recreation Area, near Elwood
The large lake at this recreation area is surrounded by a relatively small amount of land, leaving the focus firmly on the water. You can camp, swim, fish, and generally just enjoy the outdoors at Johnson Lake, and it’s less crowded than some of Nebraska’s other recreation areas.
12. Museum of Shadows, Plattsmouth
Are you afraid of the things that go bump in the night? This is where they live. This unique museum is the only one of its kind in the Midwest, and it’s sure to delight ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts. The Museum of Shadows isn’t just for Halloween; its exhibits are open to entertain and enlighten all year round.
13. Rock Creek Station Historical Park, Fairbury
This is one of several places in Nebraska where you can actually see and touch the ruts worn into the ground by wagons on their westward journey on the Oregon Trail. Visit Rock Creek Station in the summer and you’ll see living history reenactments that will really bring the past to life.
14. The Most Unlikely Place, Lewellen
This place definitely lives up to its name; you wouldn’t expect to find healthy food, an organic farm, and a thriving art community out here in western Nebraska, but The Most Unlikely Place delivers them all.
15. The underground missile silo house, near Kimball
Driving past this property may not alert you to the wonder that exists below the surface. An abandoned Cold War-era missile silo has been converted into a large subterranean home with all – ok, most – of the amenities you’d find above ground. Find more information about this unique home here.
Show of hands: is there anyone who already knew about every one of this hidden treasures? How many of them are you planning to visit now?

A 49-year-old woman in London has tied the knot with … her cat.
Deborah Hodge has been forced to give up three pets — two Huskies and one cat — and she is refusing to do it again, according to the New York Post. To circumvent her landlord’s no-pet policy, the British woman has elevated her cat India from pet to spouse.
She apparently has no religious qualms about the unorthodox union.
“I do not want to lose another beloved pet,” Hodge told the South West News Service. “I vowed in sickness and in health, in death do us part, and I meant it. I don’t believe in organized religion; however, I do have faith. India always came back, even after losing a leg. I am her universe and that is why I married her.”

EXCERPT: “The Russian government has halted all gas exports to Poland and Bulgaria after, they say, a deadline passed for the nations to pay for gas in Russian roubles rather than western currency.
Sources with the Polish government and the Polish Oil and Gas Industry (PGNiG) claimed that Russia has halted all gas supplies to the country Tuesday night, with the stoppage of transmission confirmed Wednesday morning amid a war of words between Moscow and European capitals.
Wholesale gas prices soared a fifth in Europe on the news, communicating both the shortages the reduction of imports resemble, as well as market uncertainty. Several European nations are heavily dependent on Russian gas, notably Germany.
The European Union has called the suspension of gas deliveries “blackmail”.
—————————
Poland, along with several other European countries like Germany, has rejected the Russian demand to pay for gas and other commodities in roubles, while Hungary, another European Union member state, has claimed it will pay in roubles if asked.
The TASS statement noted that not all shipments travelling to Poland had been suspended, only those being delivered to Poland itself. Gas pipelines also travel through Poland to deliver Russian energy to central Europe — Germany in particular — and Gazprom said they were not being turned off. If Poland attempted to siphon off that transiting gas heading to central Europe for their own use, however, the statement warned they would be turned off as well.
Russian gas is also still flowing into Europe through the Nordstream One pipeline, which goes directly from Russia to Germany under the Baltic sea.”

EXCERPT: “The White House detailed plans Tuesday for more coronavirus vaccines, suggesting future vaccines would be more effective if the government continued to fund the research.
“It is possible that we may get a whole new generation of vaccines in the Fall or Winter that may be more effective and more durable,” White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha told reporters during the daily briefing.
Jha said the Food and Drug agency was working with the Moderna and Pfizer pharmaceutical companies to develop new vaccines, and urged Congress to pass more coronavirus research funding.
“None of those are going to be available to the American people if we don’t get more funding,” he warned. Jha is the new coronavirus czar for the Biden administration after Jeff Zients stepped down in March.
Zients also urged Congress to fund additional vaccine research and development, floating the idea of a “variant-specific vaccine” as the pandemic continues. Sixty percent of Americans have been infected by the virus, including Vice President Kamala Harris who tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday. Jha acknowledged the current vaccines were not able to prevent Americans from getting infected.”

Tucker blasted McCarthy last night!
EXCERPT: “McCarthy promised members of his leadership team, including House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and then-Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, that he would encourage Trump to resign in a Jan. 10 phone call. After the top House Republican denied having the conversation, two New York Times reporters released an audio recording of the conversation. The two reporters released further clips from the call Tuesday revealing that McCarthy and Scalise were deeply concerned with the social media posts and public comments coming from some members of the GOP conference.
The two men specifically named Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, and Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, among others. “He’s putting people in jeopardy,” McCarthy said of Gaetz. “And he doesn’t need to be doing this. We saw what people would do in the Capitol, you know, and these people came prepared with rope, with everything else.”
“It’s potentially illegal what he’s doing,” Scalise agreed.
McCarthy added that Brooks’ comments immediately preceding the riot were “almost something that goes further than what the president said.”
——————-
“Donald Trump, the sitting president, had already been silenced by those companies. But McCarthy wanted the tech oligarchs to do more, to force disobedient lawmakers off the internet,” Carlson said. “Quote, ‘Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away too?’ Those are the tape-recorded words of Congressman Kevin McCarthy, a man who in private, turns out, sounds like an MSNBC contributor. And yet unless conservatives get their act together right away, Kevin McCarthy or one of the highly liberal allies, like Elise Stefanik, is very likely to be Speaker of the House in January.”
“That would mean you would have a Republican Congress led by a puppet of the Democratic Party,” he continued. “So, you wouldn’t know any of this list unless it was leaked. And you can start to see why the people in charge oppose transparency and fervently support censorship on both sides. Why? The more you know about them, the less satisfied you are likely to become with their leadership.”

EXCERPT: “(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received 15 pages of records from the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) in response to a Freedom of Information Act request which shows the government agency responsible for regulating credit unions required “inclusion and unconscious bias training” for the agency’s employees and contractors and offered advice on how to recognize and address alleged “microaggressions” in the workplace. The NCUA is, “an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions.”
A February 25, 2021, email from the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to “All NCUA Staff” with the subject line “Inclusion and unconscious bias training now available,” notes that an attached memo provides information about a “new, required training course” called “Inclusion at Work: Managing Unconscious Bias at the Office.”
The accompanying memo notes that the training unit was required for “All employees and contractors” as part of “required annual diversity and inclusion training.”
The memo states: “The NCUA is committed to building the diversity and inclusion competencies of employees to advance NCUA’s Strategic Objective 3.1 – to attract, engage and retain a highly skilled, diverse workforce, and cultivate an inclusive environment.”
In a February 10, 2022, email to “All NCUA Staff” from the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI), all employees are invited to attend a “virtual OMWI Talk” where they will “watch a video and discuss the role our institutions and public policies play in shaping opportunities and one’s ability to accumulate wealth.” It notes that they will watch the film “Race: The House We Live In,” which is the “first film about race to focus not on individual attitudes but on the ways our institutions and policies advantage some groups at the expense of others. Its subject is the ‘unmarked’ race. We see how benefits quietly and often invisibly accrue to [the majority], not necessarily because of hard work, but because of the racialized nature of our laws, courts, customs, and perhaps most pertinently, housing.” The email describes OMWI Talks as a “safe place to have difficult conversations about race, identity, privilege, unconscious bias, cultural appropriation and a host of other thought-provoking topics.”

EXCERPT: “So, is the world about to end? I think it probably won’t.
First and foremost, what we’re about to get is drama. I mean all-caps DRAMA. From media to government, there are going to be takes like you have never seen. The technology industry’s craziest employees, themselves a subset of the craziest people alive, will begin to protest in all manner of colorful ways. This will happen at Twitter, where we can expect resignations, shamings, calls for Elon to be held accountable, and beyond. There will be countless interviews on such heady topics as Power and Privilege at The Verge or whatever other anti-tech tech blog you love to hate (they’re literally all the same). You thought Jack Dorsey’s performance before Congress was a wild ride? Elon, whom congressional Democrats have made a career of attacking for attention, just bought himself a season pass to our endless parade of useless Senate hearings. Will we learn anything important? Of course not. But will there be a show?
Friends, it will be the greatest pop-cultural event of the century. “American Idol” could never.
In terms of strategic particulars, it’s unclear what Elon will do. The man is good, but let’s be real: He’s chaotic good. Much has been said of the fact that his buying Twitter makes no clear, slam-dunk business sense. This has been pointed out as both evidence he is stupid, and evidence he is brilliant but evil. In fact, Elon is a values-driven ideologue who instantiates his values in the form of companies, which usually succeed. We’ve seen him realize his goals, or tremendous efforts towards them, in payments, energy, and space. Now, the man has set his mind to speech. So speech will be the future—or, a world of freer speech is certainly the world he’ll work toward.
All of our trend lines have drifted toward authoritarianism, not just domestically or internationally at this moment, but historically. Freedom is an incredible aberration, and while it is a right, it doesn’t come without a fight.
So thank you, Elon. If you screw this up we’re probably doomed. No pressure.”

another FRAUD exposed…woman claimed she was working in a hospital wearing her N95 mask and dealing with deathly ill children…she’s a well paid school pediatrician making $170,000 a year working mostly remotely 9-5
FTA
Hoshino tweeted about long shifts in full PPE while treating children suffering from long COVID and handing out injections.
But Burwick has called her out, saying the job Hoshino does involves no such work. She also flagged social media photos of the medic enjoying herself which didn’t tally with Hoshino’s claims of back-breaking shifts.
Hoshino, whose LinkedIn claims she works for Mount Sinai, was found out to be a city-employed school pediatrician who mostly worked a remote job for around $170,000 a year during the pandemic.

I’m still reading the article I posted about Elon/Twitter and ran across a new word: instantiate
Definition: instantiate
in·stan·ti·ate (ĭn-stăn′shē-āt′), in·stan·ti·at·ed, in·stan·ti·at·ing, in·stan·ti·ates
To represent (an abstract concept) by a concrete or tangible example: “Two apples … both instantiate the single universal redness” (J. Holloway).

EXCERPT: “Left-wing activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington, DC, is trying to convince Apple to drop Truth Social from its store, just as the Trump-backed application opened to all iPhone users.
CREW President Noah Bookbinder wrote in a lengthy personal appeal to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook on April 21, asking him to remove Truth Social from its store. The app is currently No. 1 in downloaded apps.
Bookbinder wrote: “In light of former President Donald Trump’s history of undermining democracy and promoting violent extremism, his prior abuse of social media platforms to do so, and his apparent desire to continue doing so through the recently launched Truth Social platform, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (‘CREW’) urges you to remove the application from the Apple App Store.”
Bookbinder added it was “incumbent on all companies to choose not to support those who undermine democracy, and your company, in particular, is well placed to combat disinformation and protect democracy against imminent risk. Removing the Truth Social platform from the App Store is consistent with Apple’s pledge to ‘stand for democracy’ and prevent the promotion of extremist content.”

Bearing in mind that it is a pro-Herschel PAC, still looks good.
EXCERPT: “Republican Herschel Walker holds a ten-point lead over far-left incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) in a hypothetical matchup for Georgia’s U.S. Senate seat, according to a recent poll conducted by a pro-Walker super PAC.
34N22, the pro-Walker super PAC, conducted a poll showing the former football star with a ten-point lead over the far-left incumbent. The polling model showed Walker with 51.4 percent to Warnock’s 41 percent. The poll also showed President Joe Biden and the Democrat senate with similar job approval numbers in the state, both underwater. Biden’s approval as president showed him only a 43.8 percent approval and a 52.4 percent disapproval.
On the other hand, Warnock has a job approval rating of 45.2 percent as a senator and only 41.6 percent approval. 34N22 pointed out that the numbers are “devastating” for the Warnock campaign since he spent more than $7 million on positive advertising on television since January.
When the respondents were informed about Warnock’s voting record and public positions, he took on legislation that was the “direct opposition” to the interests of Georgians, such as issuing messages related to crime, inflation, and other economic conditions the Republicans extended his lead.
“Georgia voters had a net movement of +21% towards Herschel Walker after hearing the issue they cared about most,” the memo from 34N22 claimed.”

EXCERPT: “A recent report reveals that a number of major technology companies including Facebook, Apple, and Google, have been tricked into handing over sensitive personal information about customers that was used to harass and even sexually extort minors.
Bloomberg reports that according to four federal law enforcement officials and two industry investigators, a number of major tech firms including Facebook, Apple, Google, Snapchat, Twitter, and Discord have been tricked into handing over sensitive personal information of users in response to fraudulent legal requests. This information was reportedly used to harass and in some cases sexually extort minors.
The data was reportedly sued to target specific women and minors and in multiple cases was used to pressure and blackmail them into creating and sharing sexually explicit content. Those perpetrating the attacks are reportedly successfully impersonating law enforcement officers making it almost impossible for victims to protect themselves from the attacks.
It is currently unclear how many times data requests have been used to sexually extort minors. The number of individuals affected by the attackers is currently being assessed by the tech firms and law enforcement officials.”

ROFL! This guy cracks me up every time!
Entire article @ BB: “During a Tuesday appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) highlighted the “spending porn” he had witnessed in Congress.
Kennedy said he had seen the federal government “give $530,000 to a group called Hookers for Jesus” and “spend $2.1 million for sex education for Ethiopian prostitutes.” He likened the massive federal spending to Congress “taking a Great Dane-size whiz down the leg of every taxpayer in America.”
“I have seen the federal government, for example, give $530,000 to a group called Hookers for Jesus. I have seen the federal government spend $2.1 million for sex education for Ethiopian prostitutes. And I can continue with other examples of spending porn,” Kennedy outlined. “And every time that Congress allows this to happen, it is as if Congress is taking a Great Dane-size whiz down the leg of every taxpayer in America.”
“This is a bipartisan problem. This isn’t just Democrats,” he continued. “A couple of years ago, I passed a bill — it was like pulling teeth — to try to reduce the number of checks that the federal government sends to dead people. Checks which get cashed — obviously fraud. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. And a lot of the indifference, and in some cases, opposition came from Republicans. At least in the Senate, I can tell you that the vast majority of senators they talk a good game on fiscal responsibility, but it’s like going to heaven. Everybody wants to go to heaven. Nobody is quite ready to make the trip.”
Kennedy warned that the excessive spending was going to continue.
“Right now, we have raging inflation. It’s caused in large part by the excessive spending by the federal government. What we need to do is freeze all spending except for defense. Just no new spending except for defense. But that’s not going to happen,” he added.”

EXCERPT: “Britain’s Justice Tsar was greeted by shouts of ‘Allahu Akbar’ on a visit to a UK prison, in which Islamists are now said to be running amok. Islamists are reportedly running riot within Britain’s prison system, frequently being left alone by staff who apparently fear accusations of racism or homophobia should they try and restore order.
Such are the findings of a report on the prevalence of terrorist behaviour in UK prisons, which has released not long after Britain’s deputy Prime Minister and Justice Tsar, Dominic Raab, was reportedly greeted by chants of “Allahu Akbar” while visiting Woodhill Prison in England.
According to a report by The Times, prisoners greeted Conservative Party bigwig with the Islamist-linked slogan during his visit to the facility, the purpose of which was to promise harsher action on extremism within the UK’s incarceration system.
Such action seems to be badly needed, with an independent report finding that militant Muslim extremists are obtaining ever-greater control over prison life, with unofficial “emirs” or Islamist commanders becoming de facto decision-makers within jails with which actual prison staff are forced to routinely cooperate with.”
