  • What more could we ask?

  • Incompetent Teflon

    George Rebane We begin to see more and more commentators ascribe the national nostrums coming from the White House to sheer incompetence (for example ‘He Was Supposed to be Competent’).   Remember when Ronald Reagan was called the Teflon President by the Left.  But his legacy is such an enduring testament to conservative governance that the…

  • Ruminations – 29may2010

    George Rebane – Countywide election of BoS and Planning Commission– Sestak imbroglio– Markey on NPR blames Bush for Oil Spill– US Money Supply, Constitution and the Dollar This morning’s emails contained a heads-up that the blinding light of morality and justice has again been shined on my bald noggin – well actually on Jo Ann, but then we fly…

  • KVMR commentary – Our Porous Border

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my bi-weekly commentary broadcast on KVMR FM85.9 today 28 May 2010.] Mexican President Calderon’s lecture to America was a reprehensible piece of hypocritical grandstanding.  Arizona is desperately trying to defend itself against enemies for which it is not supposed to be the first line of defense.  But because…

  • We’re doing our part (updated)

    George Rebane   Looking at the above chart should make all of us, conservatives and progressives, feel proud that we in Nevada County are not contributing much to the national debt burden.  In a year and half, we have only been given a skosh more than $1.5M of the American Redistribution and Re-election Act money. …

  • The Price of Pork – Fewer Jobs

    George Rebane A new Harvard study paints a pretty grim picture of what we really pay for all those earmarks that political naifs have been using to measure the effectiveness of their members of Congress.  As with all government activities, pork projects impact the private sector in both how much money it has to spend,…

  • ‘The Case for Socialism’

    George Rebane The titled piece on the socialist website truthout.com seeks to dispel the notion that Obama is a socialist.  It touts a book on socialism as the answer to capitalism, and true to form, provides the following as its most penetrating argument against the assertions that Obama is a socialist. That these assertions are insane…

  • Solyndra cum Soylent Green

    George Rebane President Obama’s visit to Fremont’s solar panel maker Solyndra caused a lot of confusion.  Union construction workers at the site were told to take the day off without pay.  And then there are reports that inside the plant non-union workers were similarly told to take the day off.  Apparently this was so as…

  • ‘Cap and Flee’

    George Rebane That is the title of today’s (25may10) WSJ editorial summarizing how California’s AB32 act will ravage the state, and drive us deeper into an economic morass.  The piece begins – California, that former land of opportunity, was one of the first states to pass its own version of "cap and trade" to reduce…

  • The Porous Borders and Amnesty Act

    George Rebane “Immigration Reform” is another in the legion of lies from Washington these days.  The first order of business – bamboozling the words – has already been embedded in our brainbones, thereby making it hard to have a reasoned discussion about the subject.  What subject?  Illegal aliens, or more specifically Illegal Entrants. We have…
