  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 12sep16

    George Rebane Where, oh where have all the liberals gone?  RR readers notice the recent absence of the Left from these comment streams, and they themselves are to blame.  Our leftwing neighbors do realize that RR has been and continues as the most welcoming and open opinion forum in these parts.  But every time they…

  • Never Forget (updated)

    We must never forget that 9/11 was NOT a natural disaster. [update] This morning I am sickened and saddened at our national observances of the 9/11 Islamic terror attacks and their reports in the lamestream media.  Examining the public remarks of leaders like President Obama and reports by Associated Press et al, they come across…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 8sep16 (updated 9sep16)

    No statesman is in a position to indicate ten years in advance what he is going to do later; on the pathless fields of politics one cannot proceed by schedule like an engineer.  Konrad Heiden (1944) George Rebane Labor Day is past and we are now in the pre-debate phase of the campaigns.  Trump has…

Bush and a Republican-dominated legislature overhauled the Texas power market. The free market-oriented deregulation broke the grip of most monopoly utilities that controlled generation, transmission and retail…

  • Polling Phollies

    George Rebane We must always remember that more often than not the public mind is fickle, frantic, and foolish. No one can escape the polls during this election season whose results will be deemed cataclysmic by at least half of the American electorate, no matter who wins.  So all kinds of people from government, campaigns,…

  • Playing with Amnesty

    George Rebane Amnesty – “an act of forgiveness for past offenses, especially to a class of persons as a whole”, Random House Dictionary (unabridged).  “an act of oblivion, a general overlooking or pardon of past offences by the ruling authority”, Oxford English Dictionary (unabridged). Amnesty for illegal aliens today has become the new third rail of politics for both sides.  On long established principle the Republicans will not countenance…

  • Prop64 misses on RMJ legalization

    George Rebane It’s RMJ time again as we consider Prop64 that will appear on the November ballot and invite Californians to not only legalize the dear weed but allow adults to possess, purchase, transport, and give to another adult an ounce of marijuana, all for recreational purposes.  Moreover, Prop64 would “prohibit local governments from banning…
