NORFOLK, Neb. -- Around 10:00 a.m. Norfolk Police Division responded to a call of a man driving eastbound on 275 with a Watusi bull in his passenger’s seat. “The officers received a call referencing a car driving into town that had a cow in it,” said Police Captain Chad Reiman. “They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle.” And the vehicle was big enough… Well, technically. “As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,”...

A former All-American swimmer brought her crusade to keep transgender women out of women’s sports to Nebraska Sunday, speaking to more than 1,000 people at an event marked by Christian faith and patriotic fervor. Riley Gaines, who swam for the University of Kentucky, tied the issue of transgender women in women's sports to an array of other issues in America. She also said transgender women try to join sororities and seek to be housed in women's prisons, with the goal of having access to women. She decried "the changing of the language that we use, the silencing, the denying of...

LANCASTER COUNTY, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) – Nebraska can enforce its law against abortions after 12 weeks and protect minors from surgical and chemical mutilation, a state judge ruled recently. District Court Judge Lori Maret upheld Legislative Bill 574 which prohibits “gender-altering surgery” for minors, such as mastectomies and genital surgeries, while requiring the state’s chief medical officer – Dr. Timothy Tesmer, an appointee of Governor Jim Pillen – to issue regulations on the use of transgender drugs. There are some exceptions in the bill, such as allowing the use of unscientific and dangerous drugs by gender-confused teens already taking them to...

A pint-sized 26-year-old Nebraska man posed as teenage student to “blend in” at two high schools last year — and now he’s been nabbed on sexual assault and sex trafficking charges, officials alleged. Using the alias Zak Hess, Zachary Scheich pretended to be a 17-year-old junior to enroll at Northwest High School in Lincoln and then transferred to Southeast High School to commit the alleged crimes, the Journal Star reported, citing local police. “I’ve been in the district for 10 years, and this is the first time that I can remember something like this happening,” Lincoln public schools security chief...

Renewable energy is the alternative that Democrats and other environmental nuts want to replace reliable oil, gas and coal. But time and time again, people who rely on wind and solar power have had to learn the tough lesson that such alternatives are both undependable and susceptible to the same elements they are supposed to harness. Nowhere was that more true than in Nebraska, where a thunderstorm dumped baseball-sized hail on a solar farm on Friday at a speed of 150 mph — destroying the facility in just a few minutes. Cowboy State Daily reported a storm moved east out...

A Nebraska 18-year-old who celebrated his high school graduation with a trip to Arizona has been found dead in a desert bonfire pile — in what authorities described as a “malicious” death. Parker League’s body was discovered June 12 in the remote Bulldog Canyon, part of the Tonto National Forest, on the day he was supposed to fly back home after his trip to Tempe, KNXV reported. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office called League’s death “malicious.” The medical examiner is working to determine the cause of death. “He was found in the pile burning,” said police spokesman Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez.

Two House Republicans defected from their party, voting to kill two National Defense Authorization Act amendments that would have defunded diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the military. In an otherwise party-line vote, Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE) and Mike Turner (R-OH) voted against the amendments, causing their failures in 29-30 votes in a committee markup for the NDAA Wednesday night. One amendment, offered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), would have prohibited NDAA funds from being used for DEI training. Gaetz offered another amendment that blocked funding for drag shows at military facilities, which passed. The other failed amendment, offered by...

A Nebraska pro-life group has revoked its endorsement of a Republican senator who was responsible for killing the heartbeat law that would have saved thousands of babies from abortions. As LifeNews reported, Nebraska State Senator Merv Riepe has no apologies for killing the pro-life bill even after he co-sponsored it and appeared at a pro-life rally to supoort it. “I don’t answer to them,” Riepe said of the pro-life Republicans throughout the Cornhusker state who are upset he co-sponsored the ban and then sold out women and unborn children by abstaining from voting for it. But pro-life voters care about...

Pop megastar Lizzo got political during a recent concert in Omaha, denouncing Nebraska’s law protecting children from transgender medical procedures that Republican Gov. Jim Pillen recently signed into law.

LINCOLN, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) — Nebraska Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Monday signed a law that restricts surgical and chemical mutilation of gender-confused kids and protects preborn babies from elective abortions at 12 weeks’ gestation. “All children deserve a chance to grow and live happy, fruitful lives,” Pillen said. “This includes pre-born boys and girls, and it includes children struggling with their gender identity.” Legislative Bill 574 prohibits “gender-altering surgery” for minors, such as mastectomies and genital surgeries, while requiring the state’s chief medical officer, Dr. Timothy Tesmer, an appointee of Pillen, to issue regulations on the use of transgender drugs....

VIDEOThere was a video of ranting Democrat Moonbat (and unfortunately Nebraska state senator) Machaela Cavanaugh going going full loon that was viewed by many. However, what most viewers missed was the reaction to that Moonbat by a NORMAL Nebraskan sitting in the background. In this video we take a close look at the reactions of that normal Nebraskan to the Democrat Moonbat.

VIDEO"Liberalism is a mental disorder." And if you doubt those words, then take a look at Nebraska DEMOCRAT state senator Machaela Cavanaugh in action. Just when you think she can't get any nuttier, she gets even nuttier. The most astounding thing about this video is the sad realization that people in Nebraska, of all places, actually voted for this very very disturbed person.

SPENCER, Iowa — Iowa landowners opposed to proposed liquid carbon dioxide pipelines crossing their property won a legal victory Wednesday, when a judge ruled a state law giving surveyors the right of entry to private property is unconstitutional. Ruling in a Clay County case, District Judge John Sandy said the law violated Iowa's constitution because it does not provide for just compensation for certain damages to landowners for their loss of the right to deny entry onto their land. "The court can find no other reasonable interpretation in which Iowa Code (section) 479B.15 passes 'constitutional muster,'" Sandy said in his...
