  • George Rebane Last year a polarized Congress came up with Satan’s Sequester as the compromise for raising the debt ceiling and not shutting down the government.  That infamous sequester was not a plan anyone expected to execute, it was just to let everyone get on with electioneering in hopes of winning the spending cut and…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was aired on 31 August 2012.] Last Tuesday August 28th the Nevada County Board of Supervisors took up Propositions 30 and 31 that we will vote on in November.  The best I could make out at that well attended meeting was that Supervisor…

  • George Rebane This week with friends, Jo Ann and I attended showings of the two titled movies about the state of our country and its portents.  They are excellent albeit disturbing summaries of the notions and issues that we have been discussing on RR for the last five years.  Definitely worth seeing for those whose…

  • “In fact, [climate change] has now driven our climate outside the range that has existed the last 10,000 years…” — Dr. James Hansen (from NPR) George Rebane There’s a coordinated blitz to recover ground lost to climate change skeptics in the past couple of years.  The lost ground is uneven – in fact, in California…

  • George Rebane Comment streams below my posts about other topics often develop threads about Second Amendment rights and, yes, gun control.  This has been a hot thread the last few days in the comments under ‘Obama is a Self-Declared Marxist’.  No doubt the recent murderous rampage in Aurora, Colorado has piqued the national interest in…

  • George Rebane There’s plenty of reason for celebrating the pretty good likelihood that the Higgs boson has finally been observed by CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.  That massive boson fills in a long-empty part of our understanding how the universe is composed and works.  To be sure, there is a lot more work to be done…

  • George Rebane On this most important and meaningful of our national holidays, I am reminded of the liberties, now gone, that we had last year at this time, and those we will no longer have when we next hang the annual bunting on our porch railing.  Perhaps we can spend some moments in meditation on…

  • George Rebane Taxes for value not received or those that force behaviors are penalties. The last 24 hours has seen a tsunami of tortured analyses by conservatives doing their best to eek out something that resembles a silver lining in the SCOTUS Obamacare ruling.  Unfortunately, considering the scope of what came down, there is none.…

  • George Rebane George Soros funded progressive activist organization Media Matters is again shifting its longstanding campaign to shut down Fox News into high gear.  Their last year’s effort lobbying sponsors to drop Glenn Beck was so successful that they are next targeting Hannity on a fast track to shut down the whole network in this…
