  • Ruminations – 17mar20 (updated 18mar20)

    George Rebane Swine flu H1N1 Apr09-Jan10.  57M Americans infected, 257K hospitalized, 11,690 died.  Does anyone remember any full court press on Obama by the media and the Repubs as today we witness dished out hourly by the Dems and their lamestream in their vilification of Trump?  (H/T to reader.) Russia impacted the 2016 election.  Those lyrics…

  • “Testing, testing, testing” – Really? (updated 23mar20)

    George Rebane Those words from Speaker Pelosi summarized her three most important aspects of the pandemic legislation now going through Congress.  But once more I believe that the lady misses the point here.  Testing will do demonstrably little to stop or even slow down the inevitable and incipient explosion of Covid19 infections in the land. …

  • Sandbox – 15mar20

    [As one reader echoed the warning to Julius – 'Beware the Ides of March!'  Lot is happening in these trying times.  I have posted 'Testing, testing, testing, …' for the continuing discussion of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Please deposit your topical good thoughts there.  gjr]

  • The Long Road Back – Loss/Recovery

    George Rebane Given all the problems caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic, we now contemplate your investment portfolio in light of the markets’ plunge over the last two weeks – in short, we’ll now expand our horizons from the morbid to the macabre.

  • An Electoral College dialogue continued

    George Rebane Mr Dick Sciaroni wrote 'Electoral College reform – it's up to us' in the 13mar20 Union, a measured and civil response to my 7mar20 Union column, ‘Democracy Destroys the Electoral College’ (and here), wherein he concludes with, “Is it time to reform the Electoral College system? Perhaps. It’s up to all of us,…

  • COVID Testing – Unclear on the Concept (updated 15mar20)

    George Rebane Our dispensers of perennial hate have now fastened on to the shortage of Covid test kits in the land, and claim that the President had two months warning and did nothing.  The fact of the matter, as even reported in the NYT (here), is that no one around the world knew of the…

  • Scattershots – 9mar20 (updated 12mar20)

    George Rebane Those whose policies cannot create wealth must champion policies that redistribute existing wealth. So you think that if you get some flu-like symptoms, just go in and get tested for COVID-19, and then they’ll do the rest and take care of you.  Hah!  My east coast spy sent me the link (here) to…

  • The Democracy Debate Revisited

    George Rebane On 19 February last, I broadcast on KVMR and posted here a commentary titled ‘Democracy Destroys the Electoral College’.  Subsequently I submitted an edited version of the piece to The Union which published it in its 6mar20 print and online editions (here).  The commentary was of a piece and amplified my longstanding agreement…

  • Bernie’s Big Lie – Socialist Sweden

    George Rebane Sen Bernie Sanders’ lies are too many to count, but one that he keeps repeating successfully to the nation’s light thinkers involves the myth of Scandinavian socialism.  This is the kind of socialism that Bernie wants to incorporate in the United States, and he continues to use Sweden as the posterchild of how…

  • Sandbox – 7mar20

    [Just happened to visit Nevada County Voices, an info website run by our favorite climate catastrophe czarina, Dr Anna Haynes.  It appears that since the passing of Russ Steele, RR remains as the sole active 'rightwing' website in these parts.  On her resourceful site we are properly relegated to the extreme right column that is…
