Month: April 2018

  • Sandbox – 11apr18

    [How much you truly 'believe' in something is revealed through the level of your manifestly risky behavior that the belief supports.  gjr]

  • Ruminations – 9apr18 (updated 14apr18)

    George Rebane ‘No Labels’ is a mighty effort by some Washington DC types from both sides to propose what they see as carefully crafted bipartisan solutions to our nation’s problems.  The activities of these good-hearted people have been covered here before.  But it appears they have overstepped their Left-approved bounds endorsing the wrong Democrat candidate…

  • Corporatism in America – An update

    George Rebane Corporatism is government supported assault on free market capitalism. Corporatism, according to what the Left has been telling people for generations, is free market capitalism.  Their support of corporatism, while pointing out both its obvious and surreptitious faults, is their main propaganda weapon to promote the collectivization of industry, and in the process…

  • Sandbox – 6apr18

    [It's tax season, and those of us who pay taxes are paying huge amounts.  The top 20% of earners pay 87% of the nation's income taxes (see graphic), and a lot, and I do mean a lot more of total taxes when you consider state income taxes for states like California.  More here.  gjr]

  • ‘Quants’, Kelly, and the RK formula

    George Rebane – 19 May 2010 (V5apr18) [I originally posted this little blurb on some work I had done on the Kelly formula prior to 2010.  Well, after some more noodling and squiggly pushing I found that there was a conflict in the way odds and expected gain/loss were defined which required me to revise…

  • Gun violence town hall in Nevada City (updated 7apr18)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 April 2018.] Today the Second Amendment and gun violence are on the minds of many people.  Both subjects have widely different meanings for Americans, and the usual conversations held on these topics more often than not find people talking past each…

  • Our Constitution – capricious or a constant?

    George Rebane America’s Constitution is one of its prime founding documents.  Founding documents of any social order – nation-state, kingdom, tribe, … – are written and disseminated to define the durable component of that order to its members.  Even monarchs and dictators who rule by force and at their whim have issued decrees that define…

  • Scattershots – 1apr2018 (updated 4apr18)

    George Rebane Democrats admit to using illegal aliens to boost their receipt of fed funds and stacking Congress with their representatives.  Today on Fox News Sunday we saw videos of both CA AG Xavier Becerra and Rep Brad Sherman (D-CA) admit and argue for illegal aliens being counted in the upcoming census so that CA…

  • He Is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…
