Old Tricky Dick back in the news. McCain sending jowl shaking Nixon fodder over Trump’s bow. The 37th president. Watergate. Suppression of our First Amendment Rights. Not new, still vile. I give myself a very wide political berth, shaped from the belief that it matters not who squats the oval. But when Trump starts trying to convince the public (World) that the press is “The enemy of the American people”, I stand up.
This blog has been targeted more than once. Efforts to edit, corral, harness, tame, eliminate. Complaints, grievances, chicanery, deceit. The First Amendment Right guarantees this show will go on. This column continues because of the High Road. I’d no longer tippity tap every morning if I didn’t believe my own Truth.

Ivan Marsh made it 11 in a row at Saturday’s Trek Up The Tower. I’m not aware of another winning streak extending longer in the sport of running, vertical or horizontal. And the ageless one Angee Henry Nott won the Husker Tune Up 600 meters in 1:35.27. Against collegiate women 20 years younger. Angee has been gifted. Perhaps the greatest longevity at that level of any athlete in Nebraska history.
Nixon’s tools of the trade once again daily news.
