  • George Rebane Some time ago I reported (here) on the results of an audit on the ideological tilt of The Union performed by the Nevada County Republican Women Federated. This was in response to our local Left claiming that our newspaper had become ‘The Tea Party Gazette’.  As usual, these know-nothings missed the boat.  The…

  • George Rebane AG Loretta Lynch said yesterday that there was not enough evidence to connect San Berdoo’s terrorists with any specific religion.  For that I called her a double dummy.  Upon reflection, that overly generous attribution was in error, and I withdraw it.  English currently does not have an appropriate term that accurately describes her…

  • [Last night Fox News reported the results of the latest polls on Obama's performance in the areas of foreign policy, national security, domestic policy.  The results in all three areas are that about two out of three Americans believe the president is screwing up in these areas.  But his 'come what may' supporters don't see…

  • George Rebane So writes conservative commentator Erick Erickson (here) in a piece in which he dissects Obama’s 6dec15 lecture from the Oval Office (more here)  We watched it with friends last night, hoping against hope from our President for an epiphany of situational awareness and national leadership – nothing.

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 December 2015.] Jo Ann and I hope that everyone had a meaningful and enjoyable Thanksgiving, and have properly girded themselves for the busiest, most stressful month of the year.  Rather than delve into another globe shaking issue or national catastrophe…

  • [Well, 'tis the global warming season among other less intensely celebrated religious holidays.  We will observe it with an intense fervor not seen in many a year.  And AGW, I might add, has ascended to become mankind's first global religion.  This week's Economist features its cover story titled 'Clear thinking on climate change' in which the lead…
