  • The Stop Trump Terrorists (updated 20mar16)

    George Rebane As did Hitler’s Brown Shirts, so have other socialist/communist thugs and roughnecks throughout recent history been the ones to physically disrupt the gatherings of their political opponents. This is what happened yesterday in Chicago at the planned Trump rally (here), and appears to be the start of this election season’s violent phase –…

  • Valemaxes for Nevada County?

    George Rebane The so-called Valemax bulk carrier ships at 400,000 tons deadweight are among the largest vessels on the world’s oceans, each being almost 1,200 feet long with 200+ foot beam and drawing about 75 feet fully loaded.  The ship class was chartered by Vale SA, a Brazilian mining company, to carry iron from Brazil…

  • Ruminations – 8mar16

    George Rebane Lord Keynes famously asked a critical journalist, 'When I get new information, I change my mind.  What do you do?'  Rebane Rule – A politician 'flipping' his views is welcome only when accompanied by what new information was received when which then caused the change. The Union has invited Ms Hilary Hodge to be their new liberal columnist.  Ms…

  • Sandbox – 8mar16

    [Watched Sanders/Clinton townhall yesterday. Sanders is either abysmally dumb or evil beyond comprehension – I vote ‘dumb’.  His post-socialist screed confirmed his belief that US economy is a zero-sum game, college is the new HS, therefore should be ‘free’ like HS without explaining why then keep our very expensive HS.  He believes healthcare is a…

  • Dr Hauck Responds – for the record

    George Rebane Today The Union published the following letter as the latest chapter in what appears to be an ongoing dialogue between Dr Paul D. Hauck and me.  The exchange started with his reading of my Other Voices column ‘Swansong from an Alternate Universe’ (and here), to which he responded with his own OV piece –…

  • Sandbox – 3mar16

    [Tonight all four Repubs – Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich – publicly pledged to support the Republican candidate who emerges from their convention.  That has got to take a load off some minds.  The innumerate liberals happily see no way how Trump now garnering 49% of Repub  primary voters, who are turning out in record numbers,…

  • Measure W – MMJ Confusion and Hysteria

    George Rebane Today’s Union published a front page report (here) on the latest phase of “outrage” from the pro-grow faction in Nevada County.  According to the report, the latest to be outraged is the father of an eight-year-old boy with “intractable epilepsy” who is being helped by imbibing MMJ in some unknown form.  In any…

  • Freedom in a Cashless Society (updated 4mar16)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 March 2016.] The next thing to become illegal will be our ability to pay for something with cash.  Certain politicians in America are working hard to catch up with their European counterparts in outlawing transactions using that “ancient relic”.  And…

  • Virgin Shortage Stymies Martyrs

    [The following post was received from a RR reader and correspondent who makes it his business to search the globe for relevant reports on raghead doings.  The commentary was attributed to BBC News.  It is posted as received.  gjr] Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a…
