  • The Liberal Mind interprets Florida, etc (updated)

    George Rebane This morning’s massacre at an Orlando LGBT nightclub provides and ongoing confirmation of the chasm between Left and Right America.  From the national Democratic leadership and their lamestream media right down to our own RR readers of a markedly progressive bent, their impetus is to deny, minimize, or ignore – Any connection to…

  • Alexander Rossi wins Indy 500 (updated 30may16)

    George Rebane Alexander Rossi of Nevada City won the Indianapolis classic as a rookie entry starting in the 11th position in the middle of the pack.  It was an unbelievably tactical race that brought Rossi across the finish line first while literally running on vapors that he and his team husbanded in the last few…

  • Ruminations – 23may16 (updated 27may16)

    George Rebane Yesterday we returned from a couple of weeks in Europe with friends visiting Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary.  Somewhere I picked up massive cold augmented by the Hungarian Hack that I brought home on a miserable return from Budapest to SFO in three draining hops.  Air travel (we traveled first and biz…

    Ready, Fire, Aim! George Rebane Local folks who read, listen, or go online know by now that our Economic Resource Council (the politically acceptable name sans that dreaded ‘development’ in its moniker) is putting on its now annual economic development extravaganza this Thursday, 7 April 2016.  Yesterday ERC publicist Janet Augstein broadcast its latest online…

  • Ruminations – 28mar16 (updated 29mar16)

    George Rebane All sorts of news outlets, save the lamest of the lamestream, today report that Fidel has written Obama an ‘up yours’ letter subsequent to our president’s obsequious visit to Cuba. You can bet that this from-the-sidelines message was Raul’s idea.  Add to that his Tango Trip to Argentina, is there no one in…

    The three words that changed the world, and unto this day stand between us and oblivion.

    ‘There is not a day that goes by without an Islamist attack somewhere.’ George Rebane The war between Islam and western civilization is in full swing, and the west is not winning.  Yesterday’s Brussels attacks again exposed the butt stupid policies of the progressive left governments.  Yet there is beginning to emerge a glimmer of…
