  • Ruminations – 31may19 (updated 5jun19)

    George Rebane  “The American people, right now, do not support (impeachment) because they do not know the story. They don’t know the facts.” Congressman Nadler (D-NY).  So WTF has been holding up the facts for the last two years????  If you got ‘em, let us see them – now! Tariffs on all Mexican goods is not…

  • Nevada County, the Black Hole of Broadband (updated 9jun19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 29 May 2019.  A slightly edited version of this piece was published in The Union's 1jun19 print edition and also online here.] Broadband connectivity to the internet is fundamental to the economic growth of every community in America.  And it is…

  • Sandbox – 28may19

    [It looks like a sea change may have occurred in the RR comment streams.  Absent are the vacuous critiques of everything not supporting our country’s headlong rush to socialism.  These leftwingers seldom countered the message, and always condemned the messengers.  And this absence also appears to have reduced the zeal of our commenting capitalists who…

  • Memorial Day 2019

    The price of liberty is never paid up, payment for its maintenance is always due.

  • Ruminations – 26may19 (updated 28may19)

    George Rebane Returned from a week at Hat Creek, CA with RV couples – we proudly call ourselves ‘Road Warriors’ – where the weather alternated between idyllic and intense thunderstorms not uncommon during this time of year.  A lightning strike on the RV park’s wifi antenna had us all experience yesteryear.  And we were again…

  • Sandbox – 19may19

    [AG Barr has hired experienced and highly reputed special investigator John Durham to unscramble the shady doings of and subsequent BS spewing from former FBI director James Comey, and former CIA head John Brennan (you can throw in Clapper for good measure).  The Dems are scared and furious, and desperately looking for ways to sink…

  • Scattershots – 18may19

    George Rebane Freedom and equality have never been bedfellows – naturally enabled inequality in all dimensions is the litmus test for a free society. ‘The Myth of Wage Stagnation’ is explained by Phil Gramm and John Early.  Dr Gramm is an economist and the former chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Dr John Early is…

  • Alabama Abortion Law

    George Rebane OK, here’s the drill.  The Left opposes the recent Alabama law that is being replicated in its essential elements by a growing number of heartland states.  The crux of the opposition is preserving the mental health of the mother, not her physiological health or other factors about which most on both sides agree. …

  • Trump’s Immigration Policy

    George Rebane Our current immigration policy, such as it is, hails and invites illegal entry from distant lands, favors meritless chain migration without end, and offers entry to only one of eight immigrants who have skillsets that would make them productive members of our workforce.  Additionally, its proponents seek every opportunity to provide amnesty and…

  • ‘Religious Freedom in Islam’

    George Rebane That’s the title of the new book by political science professor Daniel Philpott of Notre Dame.  It appears to be another anxious attempt at understanding and reconciling global Islam.  The book has an excellent review by Thomas Howard (history professor at Valparaiso University) in the 14may19 WSJ (here). Philpott divides the non-Islamic world…
