  • [Did President Obama prejudge the FBI investigation of Hillary's email contents and handling? gjr]

  • [Well boys and girls, let's gird our loins and prepare for the vibrant and vociferous aftermath of tonight's debate between them that's working to mount the bridge of the ship of state and holler out loud and clear, 'Haaard a'Pooort!!'  Polarized pundits predict that the lamestream CNN's moderator will just toss puffballs to Hillary.  While that…

  • [Leaving the 4oct15 sandbox to complete the debate on rampant racism in Nevada County and on RR, we open a fresh one to permit untrammeled consideration of how the Republicans are faring in their selection of a new Speaker against the background of Hillary's Benghazi and email scandals, and the lamestream's coverage of the whole mess. …

  • [It turns out that socialist Connecticut, one of the most leftwing, richest, and corporatist states in the Union (hedge funds, corporate headquarters, and Wall Street mavens from NYC) "has a huge pension problem' (here).  "Connecticut has roughly half of what it needs to pay future retirement benefits for its workers, meaning the home to scores of hedge funds and some of the…

  • [Apologies for the belated opening of the new sandbox.  Sure would like to hear a discussion about the relative merits of Heidi Hall and Cheri West, candidates for District #1 Supervisor.  Also, what can our BoS do to slow down the drain of liberties and our loot to Sacramento?  gjr]

  • [I note that in these free forums our liberal friends have problems discussing issues that involve things other than ad hominems.  The above little cartoon from a correspondent reprieses a years-long tenet of RR regarding Islam.  Our liberal readers continue to believe that this all originated and resides in the fevered minds of the county’s knuckle-dragging Right.…

  • [There is load of bad news coming down the pike on Obamacare in 2016.  Most widely read people know the travesty that new entitlement has been, and the worst is yet to come.  Our progressive readers have excused their happy dancing in the streets about Obamacare while citing how bad our healthcare system is in the…

  • [Wow! I take a little trip into Preconnectivity Land and the sandbox overflows – isn't Hillary's email scandal grand?  But boys and girls, let's not forget that the woman has soooo many other scandals to answer for, so concentrating all our energies unraveling her email fu@% ups will work to her benefit if the Dems…
