  • Those Convenient Counterfactuals (updated)

    George Rebane Ahh, another glorious Friday, and an opportunity to continue the never-ending debate about President Obama’s series of stimulus packages that have done so much good in this recession, the good that would have gone by the board had not Congress bent to the man’s progressive instincts and Keynesian prescriptions.   Here again we…

  • Pincer Movement (updated 15aug2010)

    George Rebane The news outlets today are buzzing with the latest report from the Pew Hispanic Center that one out of twelve births in America are to fugitive illegal entrants.  According to the now established interpretation of the 14th Amendment, these babies automatically become bona fide American citizens upon post-partum.  Achieving 21 years of age…

  • Obsolete Obama?

    George Rebane Have you noticed how Democrat candidates across the land have been nowhere in sight when President Obama swings through their neighborhoods?  It may have something to do with his plummeted approval ratings, or that the nation is beginning to take a second look at the fast track to EU socialism he has laid…

  • Competition or Corrupt Coddling

    George Rebane Even the left-of-center Economist, “the world’s oldest newspaper”, is beginning to see the light as governments take over huge hunks of their countries’ wealth generating capacity.  In its 7-13aug10 issue (‘Leviathan Inc’ and figure) it features a thorough analysis of governments worldwide grabbing control of industry after industry in a hopeless hope to stem…

  • Cue the Eternal Emergency (updated 8aug2010)

    George Rebane The $787B, or was it really $868B, stimulus called ARRA has not worked.  No matter the trumpeting from the front door, this is apparent now even to the White House which is conducting backdoor discussions on how to ‘double down’ on the next stimulus that is being cooked up.  We have quietly entered…

  • Ruminations – 5aug2010 (updated 6aug2010)

    George Rebane Tea Party, NAACP, black activists NAACP, charter schools Obamacare – ‘the more you know …’ Recently the NAACP has raised its head to again demonstrate how irrelevant it has become in the affairs of promoting the welfare of ‘colored people’.  The latest imbroglio, where it announced a forthcoming resolution to condemn the Tea…

  • Fleet Update 4aug2010 (updated 5aug2010)

    George Rebane Looking at Stratfor’s weekly update of our force projection resources – overwhelmingly the carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups (each with a reinforced marine battalion) – I noticed that we now have only eleven carrier strike groups operational (click to enlarge).  Until last year we had twelve.  Of these eleven we notice…

  • Illegal Alien Follies

    (4aug10 WSJ Letters to the Editor) Will someone please explain to me why employers are compelled by law to demand proof of citizenship, while law enforcement officers (police) are forbidden by law to request it? Mel VanderBrugBloomfield Township, Michigan

  • Tea Party Member ?=? Republican

    George Rebane KVMR News Director Paul Emery comments (here) that – “A recent Gallop Poll shows that 80% of Tea Party affiliates are Republicans and have voted Republican in the last three election cycles. The poll indicates that they will vote Rupublican in the next election. 12% are Democrats and only 8% are Independents. This…

  • New Comment Policy on Ruminations

    George Rebane Wow! What a furball we had going on ‘Who is a Racist?’, and then it moved to ‘Stan Meckler Responds’.  My post today ‘The SmartMeter Comes’ was about the advent of PG&E’s new SmartMeter™.  It appears that the brouhaha about Tea Party Patriots doings spread to this post and marbled itself with readers’…
