  • George Rebane Well, it’s over.  Romney and Obama will have to talk to one another only once again if/when Romney gets elected, and then on the ride from the White House to the Capitol when they can both grab window seats in the limo and stare outward.  Last night’s hugging and kissing of the candidates’…

  • George Rebane President Obama has been a one person foreign policy and domestic economy disaster area.  His acumen there recognized, he has been visibly and volubly welcomed as America’s preeminent socialist president by some of the most shady heads of state on the planet, along with the Marxist mannequins who are still trying to figure…

  • George Rebane Woke up this morning to a blatant Obama-centric report of last night’s debate on National Propaganda Radio’s Morning Edition.  Talk about being in the tank for everything progressive.  Of course, Mitt’s promise to pull their federal funding doesn’t help that already biased outfit to cut him any even-handed slack.  In any case, it…

  • George Rebane What a preamble to Debate2!  Hillary, again out of the country for the debate, is told to play Harry’s “The Buck Stops Here” line from Lima, Peru.  And appearing the loyal trooper, she does it. That sacrosanct line has been associated only with America’s President and Commander-in-Chief ever since Truman put the sign…

  • There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit. ― Ronald Reagan George Rebane Last Tuesday’s Nevada County Board of Supervisors meeting achieved its larger purpose that was promoted by a lot of mostly conservative attendees belonging to organizations like CABPRO and the local Tea Party.  A…

  • George Rebane For several decades I have been a fan of PBS liberal journalist Jim Lehrer.  He is one of the few remaining professionals in that industry.  Last Wednesday he committed an unforgivable error. Mr Lehrer has long been a national icon of the broadcast industry, the former Marine having made his bones on the…

  • George Rebane [Administrivia – ‘Ruminations’ postings will now be labeled by the interval from which they draw their items instead of sporting an ‘Updated xx’.  The subsequent addenda will include content annotated with the date of their appearance.  Hope this makes it easier to peruse.] To the astute observer of the political scene, the real…

  • A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Spontaneous truth can damage your political health.  Gov Romney’s remarks about who gets government bennies and who is likely to vote for him are now echoing around the world.  His core message may be lost if he attempts to…

  • From a 16sep12 email – “…inspired by the performance of the execrable Susan Rice today; just once, I’d like to see an administration official on TV who doesn’t make me wonder how the f*** they got that job.” George Rebane The crap has been hitting the fan in such volume the last couple of days…
