  • Legal guns in schools (updated 26feb18)

    George Rebane RR has always taken the position that keeping certain facilities (public and private) as ‘gun free zones’ has been and continues to be a terribly misguided policy.  There are millions of CCW permit holders in America who regularly carry, and keeping these folks out of ‘gun free zones’ has demonstrated that the only…

  • Scattershots – 20feb18

    George Rebane Ever hear of the Office of Financial Research?  OFR was created by Obama’s Congress after the 2008 financial crisis, it’s mission was to bring brains to bear on avoiding the next one by developing new prediction methods.  It “was supposed to anticipate trouble and issue warnings”, but ten years and $500M later this…

  • Stopping School Shooters

    George Rebane We’ve said it here before about stopping school shooters, only guns will stop killers with guns.  That’s why police and the military carry them.  Israel recognized a long time ago that their schools were inviting targets for terrorists, and their response was to arm the schools – teachers, administrators, maintenance workers, …  Not…

  • Atrocious Asymmetries Abound

    George Rebane We take a look at the most recent lopsided lamestream reporting and actions by the Deep State – short version: the beat goes on. Hillary Clinton is an existential criminal as corroborated by abundant evidence released to the public and more that must still be classified.  An available paper trail, including money changing…

  • Why should the neighborhoods suffer revisited?

    [Don Bessee is a leading opponent of bringing legalized marijuana into Nevada County and specifically into its residential communities.  He is the regional director of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), and sits on its board.  Project SAM, founded by congressmen Patrick Kennedy and Kevin Sibet, is a national, non-partisan organization that coordinates opposition to the legalization…

  • Cirque du SOTUS (updated 3feb18)

    George Rebane President Trump’s State of the Union speech highlighted the roots of congressional dysfunction and confirmed that we are more polarized than ever in choosing our country’s future.  The Democrats in the audience, in their multiple counter-speeches, and subsequently in the media have demonstrated that they have no intention of either celebrating benefits enjoyed…

  • The Invisible Nunes Memo (updated 2feb18)

    George Rebane Rep Devin Nunes, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote a memo that summarized what the committee has discovered about the shady doings of the FBI and the DoJ regarding their investigation of all matters Trump during 2016, and now extending into President Trump’s 2017 year in office. The national Left,…

  • On Immigration and ‘S#!thole Countries’ (updated 13jan18)

    George Rebane No matter what he actually said in that White House meeting on immigration policy, President Trump has again focused a policy discussion on a crux of the matter instead of continuing the same ol’ same ol’ circling of the barn.  I don’t want to debate whether he actually said “shithole country” as the…

  • Ruminations – 9jan18 (updated 11jan18)

    George Rebane If Oprah runs for president in 2020, I guess our progressives will then label her as a “liar” since she has long maintained that she would not run for public office.  You think that standard has application on both sides of the aisle?  Nah, neither do I. The Dems and their El Salvadorean…

  • Scattershots – 29dec17 (updated 30dec17)

    George Rebane Rural towns and big cities divide in their populations and prosperity.  While bigger cities have become more prosperous, smaller towns and rural communities have suffered.  The reasons are many and well summarized in an article by Paul Overberg that presents the relevant data in good graphical formats.  The piece begins with – About…
