  • Steven Frisch answered, yet again (updated)

    George Rebane Mr Steven Frisch is one of, if not the, leading leftwing intellectuals in the northern Sierra.  He earns his keep as CEO of the Sierra Business Council, a cynically named non-profit, progressive NGO that promotes all manner of leftwing policies and causes in this part of California.  SBC also consults to regional government…

  • The Lone Wolf Killers

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 August 2019.] Each spate of mass shootings reveals yet another aspect of current American politics and how easy it is to manipulate the country’s masses.  As a result of the El Paso and Dayton massacres we are drenched in daily…

  • Scattershots – 12aug19 (updated 14aug19)

    George Rebane A long march to protest over-regulation in California is planned to start on 13 August in Vinton (the northern terminus of Hwy 49) and wend its way through 300 miles of rural mountain and hill country roads to end in Oakhurst on 25 August.  It will be done in daily segments which takes…

  • Sandbox – 11aug19

    [Gun confiscation in disguise is the topic du jour, and the disguise has now become a very thin, translucent veil still useful for fooling some of the people all of the time.  gjr]

  • Democrats’ Big Lie #3671 – America’s economy

    George Rebane In the lead-up to the 2020 election, our Left has marshalled their legion of liars to spread the word to the lightly read that Trump’s revamping of our economy to historical levels has not happened, and that only the top 1% derived any benefit from the tax cuts and regulation rollbacks.  This kind…

  • The tragically populous tails of terror (updated 10aug19)

    George Rebane Last weekend’s El Paso and Dayton shootings are today’s national conversation, a conversation that does not yet communicate much beyond the emotional demand that something must be done.  The conversation is yet a babble that has little reason, meaning, or direction in either working toward a shared understanding of the problem, and most…

  • Sandbox – 6aug19

    [We will now have to dissect the when and how President Trump was the prime cause of all these massacres.  And one thing is clear to many of our tight thinkers, the man is able to make such things happen in cities where he previously held a campaign rally.  So finally, after all the years…

  • Scattershots – 6aug19 (updated 11aug19)

    George Rebane The true costs of ‘renewable energy’ are both unaffordable and hidden. Those of us who can do arithmetic have known the unreported high costs of renewable wind and solar power for years, and how the climate calamity acolytes and the lamestream have suppressed reporting the costs of making the world work with renewable…

  • The Lamestream’s Russia Collusion Illuminated

    George Rebane Holman Jenkins in his ‘What Ails the US Press?’ expands the strong point, much massaged in these pages, that “the media’s lack of interest in the Steele dossier amounts to collusion in a coverup.”  In this 3aug19 WSJ piece he lays it out so well that I decided to let RR readers crawl…

  • Dropout Derby Updated 3aug19 (addended)

    Dropout Derby update.  As of 3 August 2019 with Democratic candidates 20 and 24 having bailed, the following is the cumulative score tally (bottom row).  The number/name key is found in bottom figure. [Addendum]  One of the participants requested that I reprise the scoring algo with examples for a couple of the participants.  The indicated…
