Sorry, Donald, but If I stay, I would only be in your way, so I will go!
How sad that the President of the United States shared an AI-generated image of himself arm in arm with Dolly Parton, while claiming the late country music legend “really liked” him but feared losing fans by saying so publicly. An artificial image is not evidence of a relationship. Her legacy deserves respect—not a supporting role in a president’s fantasy. So unbecoming of the President of the United States of America.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO STAND ON THE SIDELINES
KEEP SHOCK GLOVES OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS! Your voice matters. Show up. Speak up. You may or may not have children attending Omaha Public Schools—but children are children. Every child deserves to be safe, protected, and treated with dignity while at school. Are you OK with your tax dollars being used to purchase equipment that can shock children? Are you OK with shock gloves being used on students while parents, the OPS Board, and the public are left uninformed? If this can happen to one child, it can happen to any child. We cannot wait until it is our child before we decide to speak up. Stand with OPS students and families. Attend the OPS Board meeting on Monday, August 17, at 6:00 p.m.Ask who knew. Ask who approved. Ask why parents and the School Board were not told. Demand transparency, accountability, and student safety. Silence will not protect our children. Our presence, our questions, and our collective voices can. KEEP SHOCK GLOVES OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS! Your voice matters. Show up. Speak up. #followers #subscribemychannel #subscribetomychannel #shortvideo #shorts #omaha #omahapodcast #aigenerated #publicopinion #publicspeaking #shockingnews #shockgloves #publiceducation #ops #omahapublicschools #taxpayerrights #taxpayer #colorofchange

AI "BREAKTHROUGH" with Grant McGaugh
Today, Conversations with Cheryl Weston welcomes Grant McGaugh—author, business strategist, keynote speaker, and Founder and CEO of 5 STAR BDM. Grant brings more than 30 years of experience in healthcare technology, business development, personal branding, and leadership. After spending 30 years away from Omaha, he returned home—not for comfort, but for purpose. He is now working with the City of Omaha, Omaha 100, and BizHack Academy to develop the Omaha AI Advantage Pilot Business Accelerator for underserved entrepreneurs. Grant, 1. Many people hear “personal branding” and think it means creating an image. How do you distinguish a genuine personal brand from a carefully manufactured persona? 2. How can a person identify what makes them valuable when they have spent years being overlooked or underestimated? 3. Does resilience sometimes get misused to tell people to tolerate unhealthy systems instead of changing them? 4. What specific outcomes will determine whether this pilot has succeeded? 5. Artificial intelligence is being promoted as a tool that can level the playing field. Could it also widen existing racial and economic disparities? 6. Technology is often presented as the solution. What happens when the real problem is not inadequate technology, but institutional priorities and accountability? Our final closing question. Grant, when the titles, rankings, and accomplishments are removed, what do you hope people will say changed because you were here?

Omaha Inland Port Authority's Harlem Nights
A $30 Million Public Investment: Is This the Image of Transparency and Accountability North Omaha Deserves? The promotional design looks polished—and appears to be AI-generated—but do the image and “Harlem Nights” theme communicate the seriousness of an organization entrusted with a $30 million public investment? This raises legitimate questions about priorities. The issue is not that celebrating North Omaha’s history and accomplishments is inappropriate. The issue is whether celebration is overshadowing the transparency, public accountability, financial reporting, and community engagement that should be the most prominent features of this annual meeting. North Omaha deserves more than slogans about “real change” and “real investment.” Residents deserve clear information about how public money is being spent, who is benefiting, what progress has been made, and how the community will be involved in decisions affecting its future.

Are taxpayers receiving affordable housing outcomes in exchange for the TIF subsidy being given?
For a project receiving millions in public TIF support, what share of units will be affordable to households earning 60%, 80%, or 100% of Area Median Income (AMI)? Although the City Council recently approved a TIF incentive resolution, the TIF requests on the June 2, 2026, agenda still appear to favor market-rate developments with rents that many Omaha residents cannot afford. In March 2026, the Omaha City Council unanimously passed a resolution directing city staff to create a policy that would require or encourage affordable housing in projects receiving TIF assistance. City officials said that only about 10–12% of housing units built with TIF support between 2020 and 2024 met the definition of affordable housing. Based on the agenda items currently listed, the largest TIF requests seem to be tied to apartment projects described as market-rate developments rather than dedicated affordable housing.
