    “To impose a new burden on fast-food restaurants, the state plans to ignore the constitution’s right of voters to review laws.” George Rebane California suffers a continuous stream of social, economic, and political disasters.  All of these are formulated, brought to bear, and implemented by the state’s virulently anti-American Democratic Party.  Most of the public…

  • The Kennan/Byrnes Foreign Policy Conundrum
