  • Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – RIP

    George Rebane Justice Ginsburg was a great lady and a great jurist.  Her record speaks for itself.  The paeans to her accomplished career have already started, and deservedly so.  As most readers know, I did not share her social and political orientation.  Nevertheless, I can say that she was from the age when Democrats and…

  • Growth v Tax Rate v Revenues (Addended)

    The more you tax something, the less of it you get. – Fundamental tenet of economics rejected by the Left. George Rebane To the above we can add another truth rejected by all leftwingers – ‘Tax rates don’t impact economic behavior’.  Understanding how the Democrats ignore these fundamental aspects of economics, goes a long way…

  • Sandbox – 16sep20

    [Today the Dems’ Big Lies are dropping faster than I can record them.  Some major moves in the lamestream include the sudden silence of 1) reports on the progress of fighting C19, and 2) ignoring the historical and momentous progress toward lasting Mideast peace, Palestinian resolution, and thwarting Iran that President Trump’s foreign policies have…

  • Democrat 2020 Platform – The Disaster Revealed

    George Rebane Well, here it is boys and girls, the ‘2020 Democratic Party Platform’.  It is a stark blueprint for ending the United States of America; it outlines much more than just the ‘fundamental transformation’ that Obama sought to bring about.  In short, realizing its provisions will be the first step in a two-step trip…

  • Evil – a timely reflection

    Do not scorn an evil though small, for it never comes singly, but in battalions, as does joy; good fortune and bad concentrate where they are already thick.  Gracian #254 George Rebane History records that when Christian knights subdued Jerusalem during the Crusades, they slaughtered most, if not all, of the then resident Muslim population,…

  • Scattershots – 14sep20 (updated 15sep20)

    'It's not what you know that worries me, it's what you know that ain't so.'  Variously attributed. George Rebane Fake news from National Propaganda Radio.  This morning’s news blithely reported that preparing for his visit to Sacramento today, “President Trump claimed that California’s fires are the result of poor forest management, but numerous studies have…

  • End of an Era

    George Rebane Puna 6 June 2009 – 30 August 2020

  • Democrats’ Great Divide or Revolution?

    George Rebane According to Democrat luminaries like Hillary Clinton and Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks, a peaceful transition of power in January 2021 will occur only if Biden wins in a popular and Electoral College landslide.  Every other election outcome will result in blood in the streets, a deep nation shattering constitutional crisis, and even…

  • Communicating Uncertainty

    George Rebane Years ago when our kids were in grade school, our dinners involved discussions of matters that most people considered too deep for children.  Our kids knew nothing of this and participated wholeheartedly – kinda like the bumblebees who don’t know that they’re not configured for flight but fly anyway.  As a nascent systems…

  • Blackouts Transparency

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 9 September 2020.] Two weeks ago in this commentary I discussed California’s blight of 3rd-world country blackouts, and argued that the Power Shortage Blackouts were unnecessary and caused by incompetence at the highest levels of California’s state government.  The other kind…
