Month: September 2016

  • Tongue tied in America

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 September 2016.] ‘The blue of the grass’ is the color green in an African language.  That’s a lot of letters compared to the five letters in the word ‘green’ to get across the same message.  But it’s also getting harder…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 26sep16 (updated 28sep16)

    George Rebane Well boys and girls, the candidates went after each other in a most civil manner tonight.  The ad hominems were at an absolute minimum.  Hillary's health was not an issue; the lady stood up to the rigors of the evening in a commendable manner.  Both gave presidential level performances, and if anything, I…

  • Ruminations – 24sep16 (updated 29sep16)

    George Rebane Globalization cannot come about as long as the United States remains an economically and militarily strong sovereign nation-state.  This alone explains and sustains the agenda of America's collectivists of all stripes.

  • CLINTON UNFIT TO LEAD (updated 27sep16)

    [This article was submitted by Mr Norm Sauer of Nevada City, retired attorney, Nevada City resident, and member of the Union Editorial Board.  The Union has declined to publish it.  The piece appears here, as received, in line with RR's policy on publishing its readers, and also to augment my thin coverage of HRC's astounding 'interview' - definitely…

    George Rebane The chasm that divides today’s Left and Right has many facets, some of which can be illustrated graphically.  It is not clear that a progressive will understand the images shown below.

  • Scattershots – 16sep16 (updated 20sep16)

    George Rebane Nevada City is my home town, a place unbelievably charming and full of character nestled with its sister city Grass Valley in the Sierra foothills.  We discovered it 25 years ago and have lived here for the last fourteen.  It is a community founded by miners, expanded by agriculture and timber, and 'modernized'…

  • This economy – how much longer?

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 September 2016.] There was happy dancing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this morning.  The much publicized mirth has to do with what appears to a break in the longstanding doldrums in which our economy has been mired for the last eight…

  • Sandbox – 14sep16

    [Time for some fresh sand in which to conjure up scenarios that pit Hillary's health problems against the new counter-attack by Dems targeting an alleged illegal contribution from the Trump Foundation to the Florida AG.  Has this now become a contest to see whose smoke screen works the best?  gjr]

  • Confusing Confused Conspiracies

    George Rebane Conspiracy (n) – an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot; a combination for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose.
