  • Another Conservative Alternative to Obamacare (updated 15nov13)

    George Rebane As Obamacare is disintegrating on its launch pad (here, here, and here), Republicans should do more than just stand by roasting marshmallows in the flames – so argue Ramesh Ponnuru and Yuval Levin in ‘A Conservative Alternative to Obamacare’.  While several alternative and mandate-free approaches have been proposed by Republicans to overhaul America’s…

  • Obamacare – all is well (updated 8nov13)

    George Rebane For some years now RR has been critical, well more than critical, of Obamacare.  All for good reason since everything promised by Team Obama has turned out to be a blatant lie about the law and its impact on America.  Moreover, as again recently pointed out in ‘Obamacare – legis horriblis’, the Pelosi…

  • Ruminations – 5nov13 (updated 6nov13)

    George Rebane ‘Does Environmentalism Cause Amnesia?’ asks WSJ's Bret Stephens in a short piece reprising climate change worries that go back over two centuries.  The latest effluent scheduled to be pumped out by the IPCC is that the world will again face falling crop yields and hunger.  What has been happening is exactly the opposite. …

  • ‘Obama was unaware…’ again? (updated 3nov13)

    George Rebane Forget the latest Obamacare website fiasco for a bit.  A very surprising piece of news is making the headlines this morning about Obama’s reported ignorance that NSA was tapping the phones of certain world leaders.  (more here)  My surprise is not of the kind reported, and perhaps I’m the only one who is…

  • Obamacare – legis horriblis (updated 26oct13)

    George Rebane This piece of legislation is turning out to be horrible beyond prediction and measure, and we are nowhere near discovering or experiencing the full extent of the damage that it will do to our republic.  I just want this dated post to become a matter of record on RR, one that joins its…

  • Sheriff Mack in Nevada County – Reflections

    George Rebane The Nevada County Republican Women Federated should feel justifiably proud for putting on one of the best organized and attended public speaking events in recent memory.  More than 600 people showed up last night in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall to hear Sheriff Richard Mack deliver a rousing defense of local governance against…

  • Scattershots – 18oct13 (updated 19oct13)

    George Rebane *** Busy day today; Sheriff Mack is in town to speak tonight at the GV Vets Hall.  My sweetie and the Nevada County Republican Women Federated have been busy for months on this major speaker event, and now I and a few other husbands have been put in harness to help out.  I’m…

  • Can Kicked, Crisis Calmed (updated)

    George Rebane The House will accept the Senate’s version of jacking up the debt ceiling and resolving to continue spending like drunken teenagers with their parents’ credit card.  You can follow streaming coverage of the fiscal cliff dance here. But the Ponzi scheme that is our Federal Reserve system continues unabated.  Faith based money is…

  • Ruminations – 13oct13 (updated)

    George Rebane NSA strikes deeper into our lives.  The IEEE reported last week that NIST has compromised its random number algorithm to our nation’s electronic spymasters.  Specifically – The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has an image problem. Last month, revelations surfaced indicating that the National Security Agency (NSA) may have planted a…

  • Manmade Global Warming – The Smoking Gun

    George Rebane I recently looked at the most revealing graphic on global warming that I have seen.  The link to it was sent to me by a regular RR reader who was equally amazed by what he saw.  It was assembled by Nir Shaviv of sciencebits.com and is reproduced below. The figure illustrates the uncertainty…
