  • 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…

  • Machines and Minders and Systemic Unemployment

    George Rebane Automation and advanced digital technologies are eliminating the need for people in a growing number of jobs.  We’ve survived severe technological change before but this time it might be different: are we facing a future of dismal job opportunities, stagnant income, and worsening inequality?  Are we headed for chronic unemployment?  So asks ‘How…

  • 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,…

  • Rationale for Elephant Rides at a Fair??!! (updated 24jun13)

    George Rebane The 22jun13 Union joined the animal rights activists’ kerfuffle in their attempt to stop elephant rides being offered at this year’s Nevada County Fair, the theme of which is ‘Under the Big Top’.  I about fell off my chair when I saw the paper’s editorial position getting exercised about the Fair Board’s politely…

  • Common Core is Coming (updated 22jun13)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 June 2013.] These commentaries have often visited the unfolding tragedy of what our public education has inflicted on our country and its workforce.  Among the developed nations we rank way down there in every measured category of educational achievement.  But most…

  • 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…

  • Buying Ammo in Obamastan

    George Rebane Buying ammo in a proto-autocracy is quite an experience.  This morning a friend and I arrived at 630am for the annual Father’s Day ammo sale at Miwall by the Nevada County airport.  They hand out number cards to serve you in the order of your arrival; we were 201 and 202.  The place…

  • Ruminations – 14jun13 (Addended)

    George Rebane A new democultural milestone has been passed.  More whites now die than are being born in America.  Analyzing Census Bureau data, the Brookings Institution and others report that white women are now bearing 1.9 children on average, and as we all know, population stability occurs somewhere around 2.1 children to account for the…

  • The Liberal Mind – Banish Bayes to Restore Crime

    George Rebane Over the years the charges of discrimination, racism, and racial profiling have flown thick and fast from our liberal cadres who oppose various policies of law enforcement.  And more specifically, the allocation of resources in such enforcement practices is always questioned when it weighs more heavily on one group vs another no matter…
