Mild-mannered reporter for the @Plains_Sentinel. I'm the guy with the camera you see at political events in Nebraska and Iowa.

With Election Day next week, Dan Osborn brought a “motley crew” to share the stage with him at an Omaha town hall. They included Ro Khanna, Joe Walsh, and Marc Racicot, and the Q&A included questions on Nebraska’s girls’ sports ballot initiative and young people losing hope. Read about it here. plains-sentinel.com/p/social…

It is worth noting that lowering property taxes was the exact same ploy to get casino gambling legalized in Nebraska. Property taxes have continued to climb since then. 1011now.com/2020/10/15/nebra…
Replying to @johnrobertgage
Mike Foley (R) and Joey Spellerberg (R) are in a commercial against it. The claims that the gaming industry have made about revenues are false. Ho-Chunk completely lied to us about the proceeds for property tax just like Fanduel and Draftking are doing now.

Rep. Ro Khanna campaigned with Dan Osborn in Omaha yesterday, speaking directly to young people in the crowd voicing frustration with the current system: "We've gotta wake this thing up once and for all. It's gonna be your generation that takes back a vision of boldness and reform that you wanna see, and you're winning across the board. They're winning. Mamdani's winning. You've got people like Talarico winning. Josh Turek is winning. Dan Osborn is winning."

Nearly all Republican infighting has a simple explanation. It has nothing to do with “principles” or “country over party,” but rather which GOP faction you’re a part of and whether that faction is currently in charge of the party. That’s it.

There's something fascinating about the press gaggle. It's a challenge for the politician—answering rapid-fire questions from a group of reporters—but it's the perfect testing ground to see if candidates can think on their feet. And it's fun for the reporters too. You're there with a handful of people all trying to jump in and get a question in, like hitting the buzzer on Family Feud. I've done them with Denise Powell, Brinker Harding, Pete Ricketts, and even national figures like Speaker Mike Johnson, Steve Scalise, and Leader John Thune. You know who I've never seen hold one, however? Dan Osborn.

Dan Osborn is holding a town hall this afternoon with Congressman Ro Khanna, former Congressman Joe Walsh, former RNC Chair Marc Racicot, and former Nebraska Libertarian Party Chair Rachael Nelson. Osborn says his first priority if elected will be releasing the Epstein files.

One of the best things about the First Amendment is that if you feel the media are biased, you can simply pick up a laptop or a phone and work to balance it out yourself.

So I made a brief appearance on @RSBNetwork yesterday. Air Force One had just landed and Trump's motorcade was on its way. I had just a few minutes to get back to the media risers so I could get photos of his entrance, but I had to squeeze past Alec Lace first.

There have been videos shared online of the woman removed from Trump's Sioux City rally yesterday, but nobody seems to have noticed the man who appeared to be with her. He was wearing a custom T-shirt with a picture of the ejected woman on it—holding up two middle fingers.

The left liberally uses terms like “fascism” in the hopes that they can make people take jokes they don’t like as seriously as the Holocaust. What happens instead is the opposite. People start treating the Holocaust like it’s some kind of Internet meme.

Joe Mitchell got the wrong memo. It's District 2 in Nebraska, not Iowa, that's obsessed with getting rid of bike trails.

President Trump held a rally to boost Iowa candidates in Sioux City yesterday. I chatted with guests and candidates in the hangar, including Sen. Tim Scott, who hinted at an announcement early next year and a return to Iowa. Read more about it here. plains-sentinel.com/p/trump-…

President Trump has taken the stage. He gave a shout out to Nebraska and Pete Ricketts while campaigning in Iowa. An older man and woman started yelling during his comments on transgenderism. The woman was quickly ejected and the man followed her out.

Air Force One just did a fly by. Naturally had time to snap a photo with my DSLR.

The hangar at the Sioux City airport where Trump will be speaking shortly was filled to capacity before the event started. They just now opened the rear door to the hangar to slow more viewing source to the overflow crowd outside.

I'm in Sioux City to cover the Trump Rally and got to speak briefly to Sen. Chuck Grassley about the midterms. He said that President Trump is doing a good job in waking people up to the socialism that's currently taking hold of the Democratic party.

RNC Chair Joe Gruters held a get-out-the-vote rally with Sen. Pete Ricketts Wednesday evening and gave local Sarpy GOP leaders some insights on the GOP’s strategy to weather the midterms. plains-sentinel.com/p/rnc-ch…

I'm in Sioux City today to cover the Trump rally, but first I had to have lunch at Tastee Inn & Out. It's a unique, old-school drive-in restaurant with loose meat sandwiches and onion chips. There used to be one in Lincoln, and I thought it was a one-of-a-kind place until it shut down some time ago. This one in Sioux City is still going strong, however. If you're in town, stop by.

I'm at Big Mama's Kitchen on Omaha where Dan Osborn is a guest on their "Hungry Club" forum. The event is streaming online here. youtube.com/live/1KQQT2HiLLE
