  • George Rebane HR1207 is a widely supported bill to put in place a law that finally after 96 years will seek an audit of the deep dark ongoings at our Federal Reserve.  Here’s an open letter that appeared in the 7may09 Washington Times.  And you wanna see some real first rate blather at a Congressional…

  • George Rebane Amazon to save newspapers with its new large-screen Kindle, so reports the 05may09 NYT. Now the recession-ravaged newspaper and magazine industries are hoping for their own knight in shining digital armor, in the form of portable reading devices with big screens. And just in the nick of time, judging by the looks of…

  • George Rebane I am not alone.  Being a commentator with a definite conservative-libertarian bias and some hard miles under my belt, it sometimes gets a bit lonely when I read about the widely celebrated happenings in Washington.  And as a student of history I am more than dismayed at what I see in the universe…

  • George Rebane Leann Whitaker, the county’s Administrative Services Associate, sent out three documents this afternoon that provide a good view of what’s happening with this epidemic.  For RR readers living elsewhere, most of this information is still important, at least so that you can use it as a stake-in-ground to assess what your own local government…

  • George Rebane Swine flu preparations in Nevada County are proceeding according to established plans.  Vic Ferrera, Program Manager of the county’s Office of Emergency Services, has outlined to county administration how his office has stepped up operations that include daily meetings with the county’s Public Health Department.  PH has activated 530-265-7258 as the updated public…

  • George Rebane STRATFOR, the globally respected geopolitical intelligence and analysis company, just published ‘Torture and the US Intelligence Failure’ by George Friedman.  RR readers are familiar with the insightful and prescient material that is the work product of this firm.  With express permission this report is made available to non-subscribers and it can be accessed…

  • George Rebane “At heart (Obama) is a European socialist.” was the considered opinion of Dick Morris yesterday on the Fox News Hannity program.  Such pronouncements from a the former President Clinton campaign manager and White House staffer (now a Democrats’ reprobate) cause more than a little discomfort to our friends across the aisle, especially those…

  • George Rebane Well, our signs are made (manila folders on yardsticks) and we’ve also made a list of stuff to take (backpack chairs, water bottles, camera, chapstick, …) on the bus to our first demonstration tomorrow at the State Capitol in Sacramento.  These anti-tax increase demonstrations are being held across the land according to reports…

  • George Rebane The French socialists and communists are really tuning up their anti-capitalist protesting methods.  You see, the market demand for getting properly trained in the skills of laying down in the streets, assaulting police lines, etc is getting so high that a new start-up will now teach you these skills over a weekend course…
