  • Sandbox – 31aug17

    [Wow, the last one really filled up.  Here's some fresh sand to reignite a closer examination of the ongoing polls that portend so much about President Trump.  To that we can add the fascinating new cause celebre of diagnosing the man's mental health.  I personally appreciate readers' updates on local fire news.  Thanks.  gjr]

  • The Wall – Why Would Mexico Chip In

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2017.] Lately, among all the other lambasting of President Trump relating to a flood of new happenings, the notorious border ‘wall’ between the US and Mexico has again surfaced in the news.  The major points of interest in the wall…

  • Democrats, as they see themselves (updated)

    [This piece of Democrat worldview showcased in their booth at the recent Nevada County fair is both illuminating and informative.  They see and experience not what we see and experience, but tacitly admit that they have no "working Democratic message"   Also note that Republicans have "the power to prevent minorities from voting in more…

  • Max Tegmark, welcome aboard!

  • Sandbox – 25aug17

    [Well, that last sandbox sure got smelly in the end.  My bad for letting it linger.  Perhaps we can try to raise the level of discourse on this one.  Would love to see some dialogue on 'Trump divorces GOP Congress' and its implications for legislation and 2018. gjr]

  • Scattershots – 21aug17 (updated)

    George Rebane Remember how all the country got gruberized on Obamacare into such a state of dependancy that to this day no one has been able extract them from that calamitous benefit?  Well, turns out that ol’ John got caught doing some fraudulent billing for consulting work he was doing for Vermont.  But not to…
