  • [Tonight all four Repubs – Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich – publicly pledged to support the Republican candidate who emerges from their convention.  That has got to take a load off some minds.  The innumerate liberals happily see no way how Trump now garnering 49% of Repub  primary voters, who are turning out in record numbers,…

  • [Here is what Joe Biden had to say about filling SCOTUS vacancies.  And the record here shows that no liberal has explained why this time is so different that the Senate should not continue to follow the advice of our VP and several of his prominent Democrat colleagues.  We expected crickets, and they have spoken.  gjr]

  • [Now we read that young blacks are among the most dedicated of the millennials lapping up Sander's socialism on the campaign trail.  And do you notice that there is not a smidgeon of contrition coming from the Republican establishment about their failures to live up to their promises in Congress, a silence that reeks of hubris and…

  • [I believe that Trump did himself irreparable harm in last Saturday's debate with his extraordinarily boorish behavior toward Bush and Cruz.  His follow on interviews over the weekend gave clear evidence that he is more than a bit panicked about his campaign, as when he had to also claim that the RNC stacked the audience against him.  The latter…

  • [Lest we forget Obamacare, that federal monstrosity has managed to get another of its tits in a wringer – mandated health insurance for California farmworkers.  The monthly cost for 50 or more workers starts at over $30K which their hiring companies can't afford, so they have to deny it and pay the fine.  But now the workers denied…

  • [Was interested in reading The Union’s editorial position on SoJ today (here).  The SoJ steering committee is preparing a response.  IMHO, it's important to keep in mind two items regarding the opposition to SoJ – 1) the opposition offers no alternative to the formation of North California (my preferred name) than the lame same ol’…

  • [Does anyone have an idea about what the FBI is still doing in its investigation of Hillary.  With the IG's finding it would appear that there's now an overwhelming amount evidence to indict her for multiple crimes.  The investigation itself could continue.  But shouldn't Director Comey take what he has to DoJ and get them started…

  • [These sandboxes sure fill up fast with a variety of topics tucked between the mudballs.  One regular commenter made an interesting remark that bears more consideration – under what conditions is it possible for a mixture of devout Muslims and non-Muslims to live in close proximity – e.g. the same neighborhood?  gjr]

  • [Happy New Year! to all RR readers.  This year will turn out more exciting and surprising than any of us can anticipate.  From the socialists' perspective, they are at the cusp of a victory from which they can deal a deathblow to American capitalism and institute their new economic order as part of the country's fundamental transformation…

  • [Well, we're heading for the end of 2015 and it's time to refresh the sandbox one last time before we ring in the new year.  I hope all RR readers had the merriest Christmas and are girding their loins for a very exciting 2016 that I'm sure we'll dissect ten ways from Sunday.  I very…
