  • Ruminations – 3jun14

    George Rebane On this election day I remind you to vote, and am also reminded by all that is going on in a Washington that now sidesteps what I have voted for over the decades – the imperial presidency ascendant. We just heard about EPA’s new initiative to cite a little-known, otherwise-purposed Section 111(d) of the 1970 Clean…

  • The Liberal Mind – Hillary’s new logic on Benghazi

    George Rebane Hillary Clinton’s public copy on Benghazi is that she will not respond to any more queries about her involvement in that tragedy on her watch because that would be playing politics “on the backs of our dead.”  This by any reading is, of course, playing politics to the maximum on the subject, especially…

  • The VA Fiasco – some thoughts

    Big government is good, and bigger government is even better – A progressive rubric George Rebane This year’s concurrence of Memorial Day and Obama’s latest scandal involving VA healthcare invited a lot of discussion about the latter under RR’s posting on the former.  Perhaps we can continue the exchange under its own banner, so to…

  • Ruminations – 23may14 (updated 30may14)

    George Rebane TechTest2014 examinees were feted at its annual Survivors’ Breakfast at Tofanelli’s this morning.  The pictured six top scorers – David Bernadett, Lars Montagnaro, Patric Wells, Grant Clove, Sean Anderson, Alex Vobiril – received their scholarship checks that ranged in amounts from $6,000 to $300.  Attending also were junior year students taking the test…

  • Nate Beason at NC Rotary today (updated)

    George Rebane Nevada County Supervisor Nate Beason, who represents District #1, will be the speaker at the Nevada City Rotary Club luncheon today at noon in the National Hotel.  Guests and visitors are welcome.  I don’t know exactly what Nate will be discussing, but you can be sure his talk will be interesting and relevant…

  • Ruminations – 20may14 (updated 22may14)

    George Rebane The Red Chinese and their People’s Liberation Army are hacking American corporations for designs, trade secrets, and business plans – imagine that.  Well, our AG Eric Holder did just that recently, and decided it was time to put his foot down and fight crime wherever it was found.  He actually indicted five PLA officers for…

  • Hillary and the Ragheads

    George Rebane The Boko Haran ragheads in Africa were given a pass by Hillary a couple of years ago when she refused to declare them to be a terrorist organization which would have kicked in sanctions on their financing funnel and limited their operations.  (This obvious designation was also requested by the DoJ, FBI, and…

  • Ruminations – 7may14 (updated 10may14)

    George Rebane The lying season is in full swing.  Yesterday the Obama administration released the latest assessment on the progress of global warming, climate change, or whatever their nom du jour for what’s happening with the weather (‘Third National Assessment on Climate Change’).  The bottom line of this latest issue of climategate is that the…

  • The Great Escape

    George Rebane It gives little pleasure to remind us all that progressives are socio-economically ignorant, incorrigible, and unrepentant.  The great escape of companies from the once Golden State continues unabated.  From Nevada County we see the next stage departure of our formerly iconic Grass Valley Group as its remnants are merged with Miranda Technologies.  It…

  • Public Pension Punishments in a Progressive Posterchild

    George Rebane Illinois is a one of many states (e.g. California) that highlights the evils of progressivism applied wholesale.  It is worth holding up as an example of the latest problems with the trillions of dollars of unfunded public pension liabilities (much covered on RR) that are plastered over the nation’s fiscal landscape.  Today the…
