Five Basic Governance Failures Ricketts Hopes You Won't Notice

[TexasTowelie]

Governor Ricketts has been engaging in more and more outrageous behavior lately – declaring Nebraska a 2A Sanctuary State while refusing to give sanctuary to migrant children, making a big deal about appearing on Ben Shapiro’s show to talk about guns, claiming weed will make you kill your kids, and so on and so forth. The reason he is doing this is because he wants to distract from his many failures as a Governor. We decided to list some of those many, many failures just so people know what we should be talking about instead of Pete’s distractions.

1.Mead

First up is the environmental disaster in Mead caused by AltEn and the failure of any Nebraska agency to regulate the poison they know AltEn has been sitting on for years. Millions of bees have been killed by this poison; the residents of Mead (and their animals) are suffering ill health; the cattle on the feedlot that is located on the same land as the AltEn poison factory are grazing on the poisoned land and drinking the poison water and yet are still being slaughtered and sold for human consumption. Worst of all, the drinking water for 60 million people is sitting in the two aquifers right under all this poison. This is Nebraska’s Flint, and nobody at the state is raising a finger to do anything about it. Watch this heartbreaking video to get the Indigenous insight on this disaster that has poisoned their sacred lands.

2. St. Francis

Next up is the scam artists at St Francis Ministries who spent $80,000 on Cubs tickets while claiming they had no money to take care of the kids because WHOOPSIES, they “accidentally” underbid the contract by $147 million. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should have known this was an obvious scam, or worse. (Why anyone trusts religious institutions to take care of kids when the whole religion thing is basically a huge pedophile/extortion ring is beyond me, but I digress). When Senator Machaela Cavanaugh proposed a committee to look into this fuckery, the committee was approved but Senator Cavanaugh was refused a seat on the committee. Instead, at least one Senator who voted against the committee was granted a seat. Four of the Senators who were placed on the committee received money from Ricketts. His desperation in this case is particularly thick, so I’m sure the details are even more sordid than we suspect.

3. “Accounting Errors” the Size of Nebraska’s Entire Agricultural Production

Next up we have Pete’s Golden Boy Jason Jackson, who, in one of the many roles he was appointed to by Ricketts, made $21 billion worth of accounting errors that were discovered after a *partial* audit, so it was certainly actually much more. Has anyone even heard a peep about this since it was first reported on back in December? The news didn’t even bother to point out that it was Jason Jackson who was in charge of these many errors as Director of Administrative Services. Meanwhile earlier this week, Sarpy County Treasurer Brian Zuger was ousted from office after a measly $12 million in errors. What gives?

1. I know this ain't charitable. Is the confessional open l8r today?

'Rickettsia rickettsii'.

2. There aren't a lot of things to be grateful for being raised as a Southern Baptist,

but one of them is I didn't have to go to confessional. It would be a chore to confess all of my sins, and even the top 10 sins would still take awhile.

3. I could simply say: "One thru ten." No killing, but that doesn't precisely mean physical.

'Murdering another being's spirit'.

I always write them down. Too many to recall off the top of my head. 🙃

I told Heaven I'd reform, then I stumble into the ditch again.
