  • Ruminations – 28oct15 (updated 31oct15)

    George Rebane The assumed level of perceived risk in competitive markets is constant.  When governments alleviate known risks, added unknown risks will be assumed to maintain the balance – profit demands it. Obama’s economy continues to scoot along on its butt.  Seven years on and we have finally achieved the steady state snail-paced GDP and…

  • Mideastern muslim migrants mug Europe (updated 29oct15)

    George Rebane Has anyone noticed that reporting about the migrant onslaught has fallen silent on the key issue that initially gave it a moral and humanitarian dimension.  Europeans of all political stripe were willing to take in a controlled number of refugees fleeing from death and torture that they would most likely suffer were they…

  • Sandbox – 27oct15

    Corporatism – when government has less to sell, there are fewer buyers. [Boehner's swansong highlights the problems conservatives have had with the man for some time now.  There doesn't seem to be a hill worth dying on in his political geography.  Can some cleverer minds remind us what now the congressional Republicans have to bargain with…

  • ‘What has Hillary Clinton accomplished?’

    George Rebane From one of their own kind we now have the definitive record of candidate and former SecState Hillary Rodham Clinton’s accomplishments.  Her record has been a longstanding and recently growing concern across the nation as it becomes more clear by the day that she will be anointed as the Democrats' nominee for the country’s next…

  • Central Planning Fest – preparing our minds

    George Rebane To control a modern society, gain control of its connectivity. The upcoming Paris conference on preventable global warming (PGW) would be laughable if it didn’t serve as a cover for some pretty draconian public policy plans.  I was reminded of this by yesterday morning’s emails and some contributions to The Union’s op-ed pages. …

  • ‘Can California be Saved?’ (updated 24oct15)

    George Rebane We have long pointed to the travesty of governance that has totally engulfed California over the past decades, and called out its failures which now have become a tidal wave of destruction.  The Left has identified this effort as the misbegotten complaints of an ignorant clutch living isolated from the glorious realities that…

  • Scattershots – 22oct15

    George Rebane Hillary told the House Benghazi hearing that 1) Chris Stevens should have known better than to expect the security he requested, and also that being a diplomat was a dangerous profession; 2) she never saw the Stevens’ urgent security requests – “they didn’t rise to my level”; and 3) as SecState, if she…

  • Back to Fort Sill in place and time

    George Rebane We got home yesterday afternoon from a visit to Ft Sill, OK and Denver, CO, a trip that also let us catch up with a lot of what’s happening in the country.  Ft Sill is the world’s preeminent artillery development and training center.  If you are an American cannon cocker or tactical missile…
