  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 26sep16 (updated 28sep16)

    George Rebane Well boys and girls, the candidates went after each other in a most civil manner tonight.  The ad hominems were at an absolute minimum.  Hillary's health was not an issue; the lady stood up to the rigors of the evening in a commendable manner.  Both gave presidential level performances, and if anything, I…

  • Ruminations – 24sep16 (updated 29sep16)

    George Rebane Globalization cannot come about as long as the United States remains an economically and militarily strong sovereign nation-state.  This alone explains and sustains the agenda of America's collectivists of all stripes. NPR on systemic unemployment and guaranteed national income (GNI).  Even the National Progressive Radio has now come out with the revelation that…

  • CLINTON UNFIT TO LEAD (updated 27sep16)

    [This article was submitted by Mr Norm Sauer of Nevada City, retired attorney, Nevada City resident, and member of the Union Editorial Board.  The Union has declined to publish it.  The piece appears here, as received, in line with RR's policy on publishing its readers, and also to augment my thin coverage of HRC's astounding 'interview' - definitely…

  • The Effect of State Legalization of Marijuana (updated 30sep16)

    George Rebane The debate continues and heats on the pros and cons of states legalizing RMJ production, sales, and use.  In these pages we have covered the progress of attitudes about MMJ and RMJ in Nevada County.  The debaters often cite the experience of other states that have also gone through various forms of MJ…

  • Confusing Confused Conspiracies

    George Rebane Conspiracy (n) – an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot; a combination for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose. Mid-roaders are some of the most ideologically opaque critters that reside on the political landscape.  In these pages I have attempted to gently take them…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 12sep16

    George Rebane Where, oh where have all the liberals gone?  RR readers notice the recent absence of the Left from these comment streams, and they themselves are to blame.  Our leftwing neighbors do realize that RR has been and continues as the most welcoming and open opinion forum in these parts.  But every time they…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 8sep16 (updated 9sep16)

    No statesman is in a position to indicate ten years in advance what he is going to do later; on the pathless fields of politics one cannot proceed by schedule like an engineer.  Konrad Heiden (1944) George Rebane Labor Day is past and we are now in the pre-debate phase of the campaigns.  Trump has…

  • Ruminations – 6sep16 (updated 10sep16)

    George Rebane Windpower works when energy markets are deregulated.  Texas continues to make news. “The roots of Texas’ renewables boom go back to 1999, when then-Gov. George W. Bush and a Republican-dominated legislature overhauled the Texas power market. The free market-oriented deregulation broke the grip of most monopoly utilities that controlled generation, transmission and retail…

  • Playing with Amnesty

    George Rebane Amnesty – “an act of forgiveness for past offenses, especially to a class of persons as a whole”, Random House Dictionary (unabridged).  “an act of oblivion, a general overlooking or pardon of past offences by the ruling authority”, Oxford English Dictionary (unabridged). Amnesty for illegal aliens today has become the new third rail of politics for both sides.  On long established principle the Republicans will not countenance…

  • Prop64 misses on RMJ legalization

    George Rebane It’s RMJ time again as we consider Prop64 that will appear on the November ballot and invite Californians to not only legalize the dear weed but allow adults to possess, purchase, transport, and give to another adult an ounce of marijuana, all for recreational purposes.  Moreover, Prop64 would “prohibit local governments from banning…
