  • 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…

  • And all these things used to be ours

    George Rebane Friend and Nevada County cartoonist extraordinaire RL ‘Bob’ Crabb nailed it in yesterday’s (3may14) Union with this offering (pilfered below) on the plan for the government to next confiscate our ground water, and either prohibit its consumption or charge us for it. I hope that all RR readers have been aware of these…

  • Common Core Town Hall

    When you have no case, abuse the plaintiff.  Marcus Tullius Cicero George Rebane The well-attended town hall meeting reported in ‘Common Core Unexamined’ took place last night in the GV Elks Lodge featuring speakers Sandra Stotsky, Ed.D., Brad Dacus, and Lydia Gutierrez, M.Ed.  Dr Stotsky served as one of two credentialed education experts on the…

  • 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…

  • A Takeaway from Bundy Ranch (updated 19apr14)

    George Rebane When tyrannies make the laws, all opponents of tyranny are then seen and treated as criminals. The ownership and control of our public lands is a mess, both legally and constitutionally.  Save for military bases (an arguably constitutional provision), why does the federal government claim ownership – laughably in the name of ‘the…

  • Your life savings will bail in SIFIs

    Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. – Sir Walter Scott George Rebane Remember those banks and other financial institutions that were ‘too big to fail’?  Well, the IMF has confirmed that the world of global finance still has such enterprises so that if one goes down, it has…

  • Who is that man?

    “… with the whole world full of fools, there is none who thinks himself one, or even suspects it.”  Gracian #201 George Rebane The news comes pouring in daily of Obamacare’s manifest incorrigible faults and the stream of palliative executive orders designed to rescue it.  The longstanding cases of this administration’s corruption and scandals are…

  • Media Bias – Living in Separate Worlds

    George Rebane Recently the Media Research Center released two reports on how Americans are exposed to what is happening domestically and in the world.  The data in those reports show that most of us who depend on the lamestream and Spanish language outlets get a totally different picture of what is happening – mainly the…

  • Global Warming – the latest official update

    George Rebane The Lysenko list of our leftwing is more apparent than ever with the release of the second part of IPCC’s latest report (AR5) on global warming.  It turns out that they’re quietly walking back the hysteria generated over the last years – the warming is 1) not anywhere near as large as previously…

  • Ruminations – 5mar14 (updated 7mar14)

    George Rebane The 1-7mar14 Economist features a thoughtful study ‘What’s gone wrong with democracy, and how to revive it’.  A few more pieces like this and I may have to change my attribution of the newspaper as a center-left publication.  The authors do a good job documenting all the pitfalls of democratic governance familiar to…
