  • George Rebane The 9aug17 Union’s lead story was ‘Supes question ERC head’.  Our local business development agency – renamed Economic Resource Council to assuage the progressive palates – has had a sad history of under achievement, not all of which can be laid at its feet.  More than once the county’s sop for inducing economic…

  • George Rebane Wasn’t it Mark Twain who remarked that “the recent reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated”?  (Click on the image to enlarge.)

  • [This commentary was submitted by Union columnist and editorial board member Mr Norm Sauer.  It appears concurrently in the newspaper's op-ed pages.  gjr] Norm Sauer Surely, everyone agrees that protecting our citizens’ right to vote to choose their leaders is most important. Votes that are stolen from Americans who vote lawfully are negated as a…

  • George Rebane We continue on our unintended road to the world described in the UN’s Agenda 21 objectives for ‘voluntary global sustainable development’.  Few people know that A21 is the tacit goal quietly accepted by governments across the world (more here).  On RR, we have been railing against this surreptitiously mandated brave new world for…

  • George Rebane If you don’t do numbers, the numbers will inevitably do you. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 31 May 2017.] With Obamacare crashing and burning everywhere across the land except in the leftwing media, the Republicans are still tangled up with their promised ‘repeal and replace’ legislation. …

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 May 2017.] We live in confusing times when much of what we hear is manufactured or fake news that overwhelmingly serves to polarize us.  It’s hard to tell whether the late-night comedy hours or the news programs are leading the…

  • George Rebane The insanity of permitting/inviting people known to believe in the abrogation of the US Constitution and the government upon which it is founded is now beyond doubt.  The Democrats in Sacramento are either terminally stupid or no longer seek to hide the existential truth that they want to do away with America –…
