  • Ruminations – 20apr2009

    George Rebane Here’s one that should cause a little sanitary problem in your shorts.  For those not afraid of multiplying big numbers, our 2008 GDP was $14,330,000,000,000.  The $64 Trillion question is – in what kind of dollars is this debt – tripled in 2019 by Obama’s predictions – going to be repaid?  The Chinese and others…

  • Torture – An Analysis of the Issue

    George Rebane STRATFOR, the globally respected geopolitical intelligence and analysis company, just published ‘Torture and the US Intelligence Failure’ by George Friedman.  RR readers are familiar with the insightful and prescient material that is the work product of this firm.  With express permission this report is made available to non-subscribers and it can be accessed…

  • Ruminations – 17apr2009

    George Rebane “At heart (Obama) is a European socialist.” was the considered opinion of Dick Morris yesterday on the Fox News Hannity program.  Such pronouncements from a the former President Clinton campaign manager and White House staffer (now a Democrats’ reprobate) cause more than a little discomfort to our friends across the aisle, especially those…

  • Reunion with The Union

    George Rebane Wow, news really travels fast in the Internet Age.  This morning we met at The Union offices with Jeff Ackerman, Publisher, Zuri Berry (“Sports Writer”, but also website content editor), and Tom Harbert (IT Manager) to trade some thoughts about the evolution of newspapers from ‘print only’ to an expanded and transformed online…

  • At the Sacramento Tea Party

    George Rebane   The scene that greeted us on the west lawn of the Sacramento Capitol was a little spooky.  We got off the bus with our signs and camping chairs, and the first thing we saw was a phalanx of mounted police in the shade of some trees.  It kinda reminded me of the…

  • Going to a Tea Party

    George Rebane Well, our signs are made (manila folders on yardsticks) and we’ve also made a list of stuff to take (backpack chairs, water bottles, camera, chapstick, …) on the bus to our first demonstration tomorrow at the State Capitol in Sacramento.  These anti-tax increase demonstrations are being held across the land according to reports…

  • Who Works? Who Pays?

    George Rebane The American workforce is in crisis, and no one wants to talk about the real nature of that crisis.  Perhaps the established news outlets and commentators consider the issue too hot to handle; then again, maybe very few see the problem.  Today, this is often where the itinerant blogger enters unannounced, and shouts…

  • He Is Risen!

     

  • Obama Absent on Another Vote? (12apr2009 update)

    George Rebane With the heroic Captain Richard Phillips in a lifeboat full of armed pirates surrounded by US Navy warships with no orders on how to proceed, we see the media interviewing retired generals on what to do.  One of these guys – he must have gotten his star by passing a multiple choice test…

  • Hang on to Your Wallets!

    George Rebane As investment guru Porter Stansberrry (Stansberry & Associates) reviews the Obama onslaught with historical levels of printing money, raising taxes, and legislating new productivity killing laws into place, he summarizes with – … these fears ought to apply equally to Democrats or Republicans. If you were trying to devise a political plan to…
