  • Sandbox – 30oct16

    [Boy did I screw up.  We all got involved in the election and I didn't even notice that I'd forgotten to freshen up the sand until readers began to shoe horn in important off-topic topics in what seemed the closest fit.  My apologies again.  But I would appreciate a crisp nudge from any reader who…

  • ‘Our Presidential Election: America’s Brexit’

    [This commentary was submitted by RR reader and correspondent Mr Norm Sauer who is also a member of The Union’s Editorial Board.  His writings have graced these pages before, and today’s contribution is a spirited assessment of our future under Hillary that concludes with a compelling endorsement of Donald Trump for president. This piece also…

  • Ruminations – 28oct16 (updated 31oct16)

    George Rebane Ever wonder why the IRS has not audited the Clinton Foundation?  You are not alone as that organization’s true nature has been revealed over the last 18 months.  Things got so bad last year to worry Chelsea enough about the foundation’s shenanigans that she hired a top-tier law firm to do an internal…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 27oct16 (updated 29oct16)

    George Rebane While I’m working on a piece to again attempt – more graphically this time – to explain the fragility of highly categorized poll results, the news of the election’s uncertain outcome pours in.  Readers should take special note of the financial markets in which the big kids such as the very wealthy, institutional…

  • America’s Anger Will Remain and Grow

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 October 2016.] Today’s polls, rigged or not, make it look like Hillary Clinton will be our next president.  Donald Trump has made about every mistake possible on the campaign trail, and most would agree that any of the other 16 Republican…

  • Obamacare Collapsing

    George Rebane Shorten your search for the cause of all social problems by first ferreting out how government is involved. As we all knew back in 2010, the Democrats’ Affordable Care Act would create a government system that was neither affordable nor would provide the needed healthcare.  Today after six years of covered up collapse…

  • Scattershots – 22oct16 (updated 23oct16)

    George Rebane Dan Henninger’s ‘Dumb and Dumber’ is a corroborating essay on the relentless growth of ‘dumbth’ in America.  As technology accelerates, the failures of government unionized schools grow more impactive on our social order in everything from understanding governance to finding a job.  President Obama, the Left’s penultimate liar (now overshadowed by HRC) continues…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 19oct16 (updated 20oct16)

    George Rebane I want to get this post up in a timely manner for tonight’s last debate of the most fractious political season since the Confederates finally decided to open fire on Ft Sumter.  In my decades I have never seen the country so frustrated and choose our candidates so unwisely.  For the Left, the…

  • Scattershots – 18oct16 (edited)

    George Rebane [edited] RR reader Mr Gary Smith comments that this short speech to players attributed to Clark Hunt, CEO and Owner of the Kansas City Chiefs most likely is a piece of hopeful fiction.  With apologies for the original post and many thanks to Mr Smith, I still wish that Hunt or some other NFL owner would…

  • Boardman on new taxes and “immigration” (updated 26oct16)

    George Rebane I have to take issue with Mr George Boardman’s 17oct16 Union column – ‘We don’t need no stinking taxes for libraries, pot or cigarettes’.  First let me say that Mr Boardman and I read each other’s scribblings on a regular basis, and we enjoy wide areas of agreement and differences, the latter making…
