Wins for Nebraska’s Ag Community in the One Big, Beautiful Bill
Last week, the House and Senate passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act and sent it to the president’s desk to be signed into law. Today, I want to highlight how this new law delivers for Nebraska’s producers who fuel and feed our nation.
Standing up to the Iranian regime
This week, I want to address what most Nebraskans and Americans have been watching on national television: the United States’ recent action against the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program. I also want to detail the grave and growing threat Iran poses to Americans.
Motion is Lotion; the Importance of Movement
Orthopedic medicine is truly a team sport; we have the opportunity to collaborate with nonsurgical professionals, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, among others, to deliver comprehensive musculoskeletal care. While there are proven surgical options to help our patients where indicated, in many cases, patients are able to achieve pain relief and improved function with nonsurgical treatment options. Much of orthopedic surgical training is appropriately dedicated to the planning and execution of surgery, but it is also important to understand and recognize patients who present with conditions readily addressed without surgery and the accompanying risks of invasive procedures. It is also important to advocate the idea of prevention.

Independence Day in Nebraska’s 4th of July City
Each year on the 4th of July, families across Nebraska come together to celebrate more than just fireworks and festivals. We celebrate our founding ideals — the belief that all are created equal, endowed with the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Celebrating America
Today we celebrate the 249th anniversary of America’s founding. With the Declaration of Independence, our founders sought to overthrow tyranny with a simple and self-evident idea. They knew that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights. Our founding ideals of freedom, justice, and equality have guided our country for nearly 250 years.
Knee High?
There is an old saying about corn and this time in July. That saying has gotten “blown out of the water” this year.
