Things are going wrong in the USA, very, strangely wrong. A mutual-admiration society of "incredible" people is making an incredible mess.
Honesty will be the way back to solving problems, and I believe I can help with that. You see, lying about a broken machine doesn't fix the machine. Lying prevents others from fixing it. Lying also creates more problems. To make actual repairs, one must be honest with everyone involved, including oneself.
I'm Anthony Maloley, Jr.
Read on for my boring story, or scroll down for policy positions.I'm a lifelong Nebraskan. The Platte Valley farm where I was raised, near Lexington, is a permanent part of who I am. And I didn't want to leave.I received an Associate's degree at SCC, Milford, then went to work in Lincoln, where I lived about 9 years in total. I didn't want to leave Lincoln either.
A job opportunity brought me to Omaha, where I've lived since 2004, not too far from Bellevue. '04 is also when the RNC had become proponents of unnecessary warfare and torture, atop their other poor policies, and I have opposed them ever since.Dad left me a quarter-section field in 2006, so I've received passive income, and I've paid lots of real estate tax. Up to 2013, I worked in the Omaha metro as a maintenance mechanic and traveling service technician. I took an early and undeserved 8-year retirement, which sure went fast. Since 2021, I've been doing intermittent part-time and seasonal overtime jobs, and preparing to make a greater contribution.
I don't want to leave Nebraska, but I'll go where I'm needed, for a while. One day, I will certainly return to this great and extraordinary state.True, my resume is not so hot. I'm just a smarter-than-average blue-collar guy, with a strong interest in fixing broken things so they'll run right. In my time, I've marched to my own drummer, and I've seen life in Nebraska from some different perspectives, so I have some different ideas. We can move forward to new solutions, and also go back to what worked in the past.
Our wonderful, free country, that was built by our predecessors and given to us, is a gift that must be protected so we can hand it down, in good condition, to the next generation. I will work to preserve the American quality of life, and I will always try to do what is right for the people.We Americans expect, and demand, Justice For All. And if we err, let us err on the side of freedom.Anthony Maloley

Our traitorous national leader is a devilish, licentious, and lawless maniac. He has mutated the conservative party into a contrarian party. Democracy is out, dictatorship is in, and the dictator's abuses are mounting day by day.The Republicans who have been corrupted, the Corrupticans, support destructive ideas that are contrary to what really makes America great. Good ideas such as human rights, green energy, and the freedom to do international business are reflexively villified, while bad ideas abound. This contrarian madness is tantamount to sabotage.A president has the limitless powers of a king, if congress allows it, and this congress does. So this, THIS, is the king they chose?! It's like an epic practical joke, and it's not funny anymore.
The dictator said up front, that he would respect the results of an election, "If I win." And he wasn't lying, because he sent an angry mob to "peacefully" disrupt a session of congress, at the time of the counting of electoral votes. Compare that nightmare to Al Gore, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Kamala Harris, who faithfully counted the votes that elected their opponents.
Crazy Donald, and his enablers, cannot be trusted.
Those of us who want a free country, including the good Republicans, must vote the Corrupticans out of our congress. And we go forward with hope that our votes will count in 2026. If the dictator gets his way, there likely won't be any counting in 2028.
