Month: September 2015

  • How Free is America?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 October 2015, not 30 September as previously noted.] For over two centuries America has had the reputation as being exceptional in the freedoms granted its citizens and guaranteed by its constitution.  However things have changed over the last 50 years or…

  • Sandbox – 29sep15

    [Apologies for the belated opening of the new sandbox.  Sure would like to hear a discussion about the relative merits of Heidi Hall and Cheri West, candidates for District #1 Supervisor.  Also, what can our BoS do to slow down the drain of liberties and our loot to Sacramento?  gjr]

  • Ruminations – 28sep15 (updated 2oct15)

    George Rebane The short term market is certifiably insane.  Yellen will not be able to avoid a rate raise forever, we all know that.  And yes, the centrally planned Chinese economy has predictably blown a tire (progressives call your office), but some people still believe that they are smart/lucky enough to bail just before Yellen…

  • The ‘Climate Change’ pot bubbles

    George Rebane This little update is primarily to continue the record of recent columns, commentraries, comments, and other contributions to the bubbling pot of preventable global warming (PGW).  As documented in these pages, I wrote a response to a Union piece by a couple of physicians making the usual outlandish claims for the existence of PGW,…

  • MANN’S “HOCKEY STICK:” A DOCUMENTED HOAX

    [This commentary by Norm Sauer is destined for The Union in the ongoing exchange with Michael Mann on ‘climate change’.  Mr Sauer, who sits on The Union’s editorial board, has given permission for RR to post it in the interval until things get sorted out with the newspaper.  It appears below as received.  3oct15 update: …

  • Scattershots – 25sep15 (updated)

    George Rebane Cheri West, senior aide of Assemblyman Brian Dahle, has declared her candidacy for the District #1 supervisorial slot that will be vacated by Nate Beason next year.  Jo Ann and I only know of her, but don’t know her personally.  She sounds like a worthy candidate to oppose Heidi Hall, her very progressive…

  • Muslims in Government (updated 25sep15)

    Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous. Quran 9:123 George Rebane Republican candidate Dr Ben Carson set off the most recent political dust-devil predictable with his response to whether he would support a Muslim becoming President of the United States.  However,…

  • Sandbox – 23sep15

    [Exciting days – the Pope pays a political visit to the US, China's Xi Jinping is lecturing American business in Seattle while waiting for his turn to bamboozle Obama, and Hillary swings wildly to the left with new price control proposals while 'the outsiders' winnow the Republican field.  gjr]

  • Bought and Paid for Politics – Our Fault

    George Rebane Was just thinking about today's more than interesting, long, and expensive election season we all are suffering through.  And the money part kind of stuck with me.  We know that money drives politics.  What drives politicians may be up for debate, but you can’t go too far off base assuming that power, fame,…

  • Preventable Global Warming is a Tricky Business (updated 23sep15)

    George Rebane [Brian Hamilton, editor of The Union, emailed me that this piece was bit too long for their Other Voices columns, and invited me to shorten it.  I felt that a better alternative to abbreviation was to write them a letter-to-editor that cited Mr Paul Berger’s dismissal of my previous OV column, and which…
