  • ‘America’s Schools (continue to) Flunk’

    George Rebane Speaking of ownership of public policies and government operations, the Democrats own America’s public schools.  They have had title for fifty years to what our children are taught, as they are subjected to somewhere from 12 to 16 years of leftwing ideologies, by unionized teachers and administrators who have laid waste to our…

  • Sandbox – 31oct19

    ['In life it's important to know when to stop arguing with people, and simply let them be wrong.' – an old shibboleth with conditional wisdom.  Doesn't deciding when to stop arguing also depend on who all are listening to the argument?  gjr]

  • Sacramento Owns the Blackouts

    “Can 40 million suffer third-world electric reliability without a political upheaval?” asks Holman Jenkins, 29oct19 WSJ George Rebane Northern Californians have now suffered multiple power blackouts in recent weeks and we are told by many that from here on this may become the new norm for our state – in other words, prepare your life…

  • Dropout Derby – 25oct19 update

    George Rebane Rep Tim Ryan (D-OH) dropped out of his “long-shot presidential campaign” yesterday stating, “I got into this race in April to really give voice to the forgotten people of our country: the workers who have been left behind, the businesses who have been left behind, the people who need health care or aren’t…

  • Sandbox – 24oct19

    [Power still out on Cement Hill with no wind, while Sonoma County burns.  Am looking for local readers' reports on the return of power.  gjr]

  • Scattershots – 23oct19 (updated 26oct19)

    George Rebane Gov Newsom is outraged about the price of gasoline in California.  He doesn’t understand why current prices in the state are well into the $4/gal range.  In the best wisdom he and his can muster, they all accuse the oil companies for price fixing as the answer – another swig from the ‘capitalism…

  • ‘Democrats good, Republicans bad’ – Propaganda Central

    'As government expands, liberty shrinks!' George Rebane Our intrepid columnist George Boardman in the 21oct19 Union laid out (here) a carefully concocted list of stats. Democrat “districts” generate 63% of GDP, while Republican districts manage only 37%. Democrat household incomes increased 17%, while Republican HHs only increased 3%. Democrat “districts” have greater concentrations (“clusters”) of…

  • Sandbox – 19oct19

    [Trump keeps sticking his foot in it at every turn.  Now enough crap is starting to pile up so that a significant number of Rs are starting to voice opposition.  That can mushroom in the Senate and end his administration.  Right now the immediate pile consists of 1) Ukrainian pro quids per Mulvaney, 2) Abandoning…

  • Ruminations – 16oct19 (updated 18oct19)

    George Rebane Your choice always depends on the available alternatives, and available alternatives change.  That’s the realworld. Fake news from the lamestream is a torrent and promises to become a tsunami as the election season swings into high gear.  CNN gives another egregious example of reporting exactly the opposite state of US military’s munitions stockpile…

  • ‘From Racism to Culturism’ (updated 18oct19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 October 2019.] For some decades now, ‘racism’ and ‘racist’ have become a cachet in the Left’s narrative about the sins of the Right when other such appellations fail them.  Few people using such pejoratives can give a coherent definition of…
