  • ‘The Giver’ – A progressive nirvana

    George Rebane I just finished reading The Giver (1993) by Lois Lowry, and then sat there staring into space, letting the ending wash over me again, reviewing how the author brought me there, and of the many ways one could interpret the book’s conclusion.  This is a story written primarily for teen-agers, and I would…

  • State of Jefferson: A long shot, but …(Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 June 2014.  As promised, here I have addended additional information and thoughts to the aired commentary.] Our Founders were right, unbridled democracy does not work as the basis for a stable government.  James Madison said it best – “Pure democracies have…

  • Ruminations – 3jun14

    George Rebane On this election day I remind you to vote, and am also reminded by all that is going on in a Washington that now sidesteps what I have voted for over the decades – the imperial presidency ascendant. We just heard about EPA’s new initiative to cite a little-known, otherwise-purposed Section 111(d) of the 1970 Clean…

  • Public Service Unions, the VA scandal, and Zombie Agencies (updated)

    George Rebane People who have trouble connecting the dots are often missing some dots. WSJ’s Kimberley Strassel has shined a light on ‘Big Labor’s VA Choke Hold’ – an aspect of the scandal not yet exposed.  She lists a series of audacious malpractices that have become embedded in the VA, and presumably across the federal bureaucratic terrain…

  • How Real is Voter Fraud?

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 May 2014.] Next Tuesday June 3rd Californians vote in their mid-term primaries.  And the question of voter fraud resurfaces as regularly as clockwork.  Traditionally conservatives are concerned and see it as problem that needs fixing, and liberals see nothing to…

  • Obama prepares for nationwide Islamic radicalization

    George Rebane From the Washington Times – Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” was issued Dec. 29, 2010, and states that U.S. commanders “are provided emergency authority under this directive.” “Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or…

  • Journalism’s Carpet Bombing of America’s Public Consciousness

    It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so. Will Rogers Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/w/willrogers385286.html#0U6sTjJyX6dGhKtO.99 It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.

  • Ruminations – 20may14 (updated 22may14)

    George Rebane The Red Chinese and their People’s Liberation Army are hacking American corporations for designs, trade secrets, and business plans – imagine that.  Well, our AG Eric Holder did just that recently, and decided it was time to put his foot down and fight crime wherever it was found.  He actually indicted five PLA officers for…

  • Regulations are off-budget taxation

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 May 2014.] We just heard about another manufacturer leaving Nevada County and California, heading for Texas.  KACO New Energy is a ‘green’ company that makes solar panel electronics.  Their move will relieve them of the double whammy of manufacturing here in…

  • 36,000 illegal alien criminals released in 2013 (updated 15may14)

    George Rebane Under Obama administration orders the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau released over 36,000 illegal alien criminals (who were convicted of over 87,000 criminal acts, see ICE data below) onto American streets last year while they were awaiting deportation.  ICE did this in addition to the 68,000 similar releases it reported earlier.  These…
