  • Ruminations – 2aug13

    George Rebane The surface calm during our cool summer is beguiling and more than misleading.  Over the years RR readers have had an early heads up on a number of national and international issues affecting us that are now coming home to roost, and several of them are already here.  All of them were pooh-poohed…

  • Wanted by Obamacare: The young and the stupid (updated 31jul13)

    George Rebane You really can’t make up the stuff that rolls out of what passes for brains inside the Beltway.  The ads SecHHS Sebelius is making to attract young people who neither need nor want health insurance, especially of the Obamacare variety, are designed to appeal to mental profiles that range between the innocent altruistic…

  • Ruminations – 19jul13 (updated++)

    George Rebane A fundamental tenet on RR has been that as government grows in size and scope, it also grows in becoming intrinsically evil through the conduct of its mega-monied politicians and recourse proof bureaucrats.  Here are some current observations that bolster that argument. Charities have become fiefs of big government.  How?  First, they take…

  • “… honor the memory of Treyvon Martin.” (updated 26jul13)

    George Rebane The memory of Treyvon Martin has now been honored by everyone from the President to the punks smashing windows and setting fires to demonstrate their outrage at the acquittal of George Zimmerman and the nation’s legal system.  In doing the latter I’m tempted to join them. According to our legal system as exercised…

  • Ruminations – 9jul13 (updated 11jul13)

    George Rebane The new sport in Washington played by Congress, unions, and big corporations is chipping away at Obamacare – causing chaos in the small business sector.  Everyone wants to hide from the crap coming off the fan, and leave the other guy fully exposed.  Already eight components of it have been delayed or canceled.…

  • Horrific Healthcare Update (updated)

    George Rebane We are all familiar with the ineptness and incompetence with which government operates programs that were sold with the familiar refrain ‘we’re from the government, and we’re here to help.’  The news on the ability of government to do anything right, beyond its constitutional mandate of protecting the nation, just keeps getting worse. …

  • Ruminations – 28jun13

    George Rebane Texas legislature’s attempt to pass a women’s health bill was disrupted by an “unruly mob” of  liberals.  Gov Perry vows to push it through in a later session with more security present.  The bill would 1) ban abortions after 20 weeks, 2) Require abortion clinics to upgrade to “ambulatory surgical centers”, and “require…

  • Border Security for the iSheeple

    George Rebane Never accept effort for achievement. No, we’re not going to deport 11 million illegal aliens.  But we do have to solve the illegal alien problem by allowing those already here to become legal, and preventing those still there from becoming illegal.  That requires that we put a cork into our border with Mexico,…

  • Ruminations – 20jun13 (updated 21jun13)

    George Rebane So much bad stuff is happening that it’s literally hopeless to keep track of it any more.  A few samples follow. Asylum for climate change refugees.  A correspondent sends me this heads up on the latest from the idiot senator from Hawaii.  He writes, “Sen. Brian Schatz’s bill would create a sort of…

  • Collecting and Connecting the Dots (Addended)(updated 3jul13)

    George Rebane Head of the National Security Agency, General Keith Alexander, goes in front of a closed doors congressional panel today.  They will quiz him about what data the NSA and other intelligence agencies can collect, have been collecting, and plan to collect on Americans.  He will tell them about the threats thwarted through the…
