  • Ruminations – 30jul20 (updated 5aug20)

    Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks.  Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away, poor fools.  And their grandchildren are once more slaves. – D.H. Lawrence George Rebane ‘America’s Summer of Cultural Suicide’ from Victor Davis Hansen is another voice that corroborates the sentiments of these pages.  With what we…

  • The Dilemma of a Disillusioned and Disaffected Republican (updated 31jul20)

    George Rebane To some questions a silent answer speaks volumes. Say that someone is a longtime Republican who, after much thought, has come to believe that – The national Republican Party (RP) is no longer a viable custodian, communicator, or champion of conservative and classical liberal values. The RP is in full ideological retreat with…

  • Sandbox – 27jul20

    [Does everyone know what Nevada County Supes are planning to vote on tomorrow?  Heidi Hall (District1) plans to introduce Urgency Ordinance Measure 37 that would impose draconian fines on local residents for not wearing a mask, even while social distancing.  This is the latest of the power-mad disease infecting political pinheads across the country.  Write…

  • Election2020 – Electoral College Predictor

    George Rebane Something is possible when it can happen with non-zero probability; something is probable when the chance of its happening will impact a decision. One of our commenters pointed me to 270towin.com, a website that presents a map-based tool to predict the Electoral College (EC) votes which will determine our next president.  They show…

  • Letters from the Revolution – 24jul20 (updated 26jul20)

    George Rebane No one’s interests, objectives, values, … will exactly match yours.  The best you can ever do is support those with whom you share the most in common. Kudos to our local restaurants Old Town Café, Sergio’s, and Friar Tucks for remaining open and in business despite Gov Newsom’s unconstitutional diktats and the compliantly…

  • The Reliability Roulette of Testing (updated)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 July 2020.] It’s again time to bring up testing for the Covid-19 virus.  Let me start by saying that testing has shown no value in formulating reasonable pandemic response policies by public officials.  It has become an election year political…

  • Scattershots – 22jul20

    George Rebane Our indigenous North American natives (aka Indians) may not have politically clean hands after all.  Now that it’s OK to go back in history to any desired time in order to dredge up the iniquities of our forefathers (and mothers), we have discovered that the most recent arrivals before the white man probably…

  • The communists try again … (updated 17jul20)

    George Rebane From The Patriarch, David Nasaw’s mega-biography of the life and times of Joseph P. Kennedy, we read – The Depression, as Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., noted in the first volume of his The Age of Roosevelt, offered “radicalism its long awaited chance.”  The unemployed, underemployed, dispossessed, and hungry were not sitting idly by…

  • Scattershots – 15jul20 (updated 19jul20)

    George Rebane Putin’s favorite party is the Democrats by far.  As they lavish their baseless stream of Big Lies on America’s electorate about Trump’s Russia collusion, for which there is absolutely no evidence after years of investigations cum witchunts, the truth again is the Alinsky opposite.  Since they can’t do it through legislation, the Left…

  • An African-American by any other name …

    George Rebane Why is someone designated ‘black’ when they clearly are not completely of African descent – e.g. they obviously have caucasian or oriental ancestors?  Assigning the black label to everyone with even a tinge of Negroid heritage makes it seem as if such ancestry is a blight.  A condition that once you have even…
