In 1989, the Polish Solidarity used the slogan “May Poland be Poland. 2 + 2 must always equal four.” While this might seem to be a simple factual statement, it was in fact a declaration that statements that had been passed off as facts were, in reality, lies. It was a declaration that truth …
Talk about hitting the nail on the head. That’s what state Sen. Mike Flood of Norfolk did last week during debate on a legislative bill that would give the University of Nebraska more money to tackle its $800 million backlog of building maintenance projects.
OK, here’s the sad news mathematically. Since Joe Biden took office, the price of gasoline in Rapid City, S.D., has gone up 75 cents — from $2.14 on Jan. 20 to $2.89 on March 13. Ergo, if you were to purchase 25 gallons per week on average, your monthly cost would be $75 higher ($900 annuall…
