Blame the Enablers, the Aiders and Abetters
Trump’s true nature has been on display since he launched his campaign, and he has never wavered from it. Those who thought the presidency would “mature” him or change him were either naïve, not paying attention, or willfully ignorant. Trump is the scorpion. We cannot be surprised when he stings us. We can be angry, and he deserves our anger. But I don’t waste my anger on Trump. I direct my anger at his enablers.

What To Do During Quarantine?
Sledding in Omaha
Grab the toboggan or trash can lid and head out to one of Omaha’s best sledding spots. There are several guides online that purport to know the best sledding hills, so who are we to try to name one? Memorial Park is a perennial favorite for its central location atop plentiful hills. Rockbrook Park (aka “Rocket Park”) is also highly rated and fondly remembered by those who grew up in the neighborhood. Check out your nearby grade schools and local parks and remember: sometimes the best hill is the one in your own backyard.
