  • State of the Union – we wait with trepidation

    George Rebane NPR woke us up this morning with another cheery report of California’s progress in education and unfunded public employees’ pension liabilitities.  We are now told that latest testing shows three out of four fourth graders are reading below grade level.  And the solution to that is, …, wait for it, more of the…

  • Why wouldn’t China …?

    George Rebane It occurred to me that given China’s expressed geo-strategic goals and its relationship with the US, were I in charge of China’s foreign policy, why wouldn’t I want to fund every progressive cause and liberal politician at work in America.  Doing so would leverage all of China’s other domestic and international initiatives in…

  • Ruminations – 22dec2013

    “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”  Mark Twain George Rebane In ‘The End of the Beginning’ Bill Whittle spells out the overall impact of Obamacare and the pack of Washington’s lying scumbags that continue to foist this atrocity on America.  It can viewed as Exhibit A confirming…

  • Fools and Charlatans – Obamacare

    George Rebane As the propaganda blitz is gearing to frenzied heights about ‘all will soon be well’ with Obamacare, the country is dividing naturally into those too smart to believe the stream of demonstrated lies and incompetence, those with not enough between the ears who continue to believe the pap from Pennsylvania Ave, and those…

  • Ruminations – 13dec2013

    George Rebane The new budget compromise – Dems 1; Repubs 0.  Let’s see if I got this one right.  The sequester is out, new taxes, er fees, are in.  Obamacare has unlimited drawing rights on the federal fisc and the liberal agenda is again in full force.  The deficit will continue to increase for the…

  • ‘A Future of Failure?’ – A Timely Progressive Lament

    George Rebane ‘A Future of Failure?: The Flow of Technology Talent into Government and Civil Society’ was just published by Freedman Consulting, a progressive policy consultancy run by former staffers of Democrat administrations.  This important report was sponsored by the MacArthur and Ford Foundations, organizations that are much in tune with leftwing causes and central…

  • US Students ‘Slip’ in Global Tests

    George Rebane RR has been preaching for years the importance of education for our country’s continued prosperity, security, and its envied quality of life.  Researchers and academics like Niall Ferguson  have warned us that our public education system long ago reverted from operating for the benefit of the student to the benefit of education workers,…

  • Scattershots – 1dec13 (updated 2dec13)

    George Rebane Obama, astute politician with global aspirations or functional idiot (who are his handlers)?  In these last months he has my pendulum swinging again, literally from day to day.  Obamacare’s healthcare.gov predictably blew through its 1dec13 deadline as an ongoing dysfunctional front end for the next phase of socialized medicine.  His legion of lackeys…

  • Ruminations – 5nov13 (updated 6nov13)

    George Rebane ‘Does Environmentalism Cause Amnesia?’ asks WSJ's Bret Stephens in a short piece reprising climate change worries that go back over two centuries.  The latest effluent scheduled to be pumped out by the IPCC is that the world will again face falling crop yields and hunger.  What has been happening is exactly the opposite. …

  • Sheriff Mack in Nevada County – Reflections

    George Rebane The Nevada County Republican Women Federated should feel justifiably proud for putting on one of the best organized and attended public speaking events in recent memory.  More than 600 people showed up last night in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall to hear Sheriff Richard Mack deliver a rousing defense of local governance against…
