  • Ruminations – 28feb17

    George Rebane Litmus test for regaining America’s greatness: Sustained GDP growth exceeding 3% per annum. NYT claims “Mr Trump will inherit an economy that is fundamentally solid.”  But that fake news is patent nonsense as these pages have maintained for years, and now Mr Nicholas Eberstadt, political economist at the American Enterprise Institute, will explain…

  • Sandbox – 25feb17

    [One of our daughters is visiting this weekend and we decided to take in the gun show at fairgrounds today.  The entire show fit into the Amaral Center and was very well attended; in fact there were actually too many people there back to back and belly to belly.  But the show itself was a…

  • Scattershots – 23feb17 (updated 27feb17)

    George Rebane It’s screwing up the short-term that kills you.  Without a successful short-term there is no long-term. Refugees “dashing for the border” was last night’s report on Fox News showing illegal aliens trudging through northern New York snow to cross our unfenced border with Canada.  They claim to fear being apprehended by our ICE…

  • The Benedict Option

    George Rebane America can afford to care for its poor, but not the world's poor. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 February 2017.] Our world is going through an historical upheaval – possibly the penultimate one for humankind.  The salutary effects of western capitalism and colonialism have awakened…

  • Sandbox – 21feb17

    [334 comments and counting in the last sandbox.  I think we've had a sea change in the sandbox debates participation.  gjr]

  • Stupid is as stupid does

    George Rebane Victor Davis Hanson makes it clear that California will quickly join the third world if it ever succeeds in seceding.  The Oroville Dam fiasco is a good yardstick for reflecting on the state of our state after decades of Democrat control that now is becoming more radical by the month.  Businesses will see…

  • Hot time in the ol’ Town Hall tonight

    George Rebane As members of Congress head home for their scheduled recess this coming week, the hard or Alt-Left is preparing a hot time for all Republicans who plan to hold town hall meetings with their constituents.   These radicalized socialists have gone a long way to organize their more placid yet compliant Democrat cohorts to…

  • Ruminations – 17feb17 (updated 20feb17)

    George Rebane ‘We are not a democracy’ is again patiently explained by Ms Cindy Hren in today’s Union.  Numerous times in history has the Left led the least-read into social cesspools as they followed banners screaming ‘Democracy Now!’  They know not for what they wish. Climate change hysteria abating?  Am I not monitoring the correct…

  • Sandbox – 16feb17

    [Many apologies for having closed the 12feb17 sandbox without opening a new one – I really did mean to do that instantly, but somehow it fell through the crack with all the other debates going on below my subsequent posts.  Mea culpa.  That said, all I ask is that if there's a recent topical post…

  • Are we ready for an economic liftoff?

    George Rebane Are we ever!  Heritage just released its 2017 Index of Economic Freedom (more here) for the nations of the stuck in the middle of a muddle of countries that can’t seem to get their act together.  (Top ten shown)  For us it is doubly troubling because however our burgeoning socialist population has been…
