  • Mr Boardman’s Apples and Oranges

    George Rebane “Did you know that the moon is 1/49 the size of the earth, even though it is further away?” was a memorable entry in an early issue of Mad Magazine many years ago.  I was reminded of it when reading George Boardman’s regular column in the 13mar17 Union this morning (here).  For readers…

  • Stupid is as stupid does

    George Rebane Victor Davis Hanson makes it clear that California will quickly join the third world if it ever succeeds in seceding.  The Oroville Dam fiasco is a good yardstick for reflecting on the state of our state after decades of Democrat control that now is becoming more radical by the month.  Businesses will see…

  • Sandbox – 12feb17

    [The Oroville dam will be our biggest news for some days/weeks to come.  Will anyone take stock of the agencies that are supposed to be in charge of dam maintenance and reservoir management?  And how will the Left's resistance to the building of more reservoirs on the Sierra rivers to permit better management of water…

  • Media Structured Chaos

    George Rebane Trump’s temporary travel ban created “chaos” caused by demonstrators. Europe’s leaders castigated Trump while they build walls to keep Muslims out. No one brought up the president’s constitutional obligation to secure the country nor quoted the specific US Code that enables him to lawfully do exactly what he did that also duplicated bipartisan…

  • Calexit and the Great Divide

    Not all liberals are stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they try to think. George Rebane [An edited and ‘liberally’ criticized version of this post was published (here) in the 4feb17 issue of The Union.  I answer my critics here.] Well, it’s now official – multi-kulti does not work.  There are limits to cultural differences…

  • Politically Correct Education – the envelope please (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 December 2016.  The addendum contains graphics and links relevant to the arguments of the commentary.] It is again time to take a look at how America’s future is shaping up with respect to the most important measure available – the…

  • Scattershots – 12dec16 (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • “The times call for standing up.”

    George Rebane The recent election did nothing to unite us as Americans.  Half of us are still shocked that the election didn’t turn out as ‘everyone’ was told it would.  And as the shock wears off, the losing side is not about to take President-elect Trump and the victorious Republicans lying down.  At all levels…

  • Progressives Partying on a Pimple

    George Rebane ‘YES, California!’ draws more than a smile from some of us longtime prescients who witness the ongoing dissolution of the America our forebears and we have labored to build.  In these pages and on some other commentariats this has been labeled as the coming Great Divide.  There is no agreement in which of…

  • Trump’s Tentative Triumph (updated 10nov16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary to be broadcast tonight.  I am posting it early due to the heavy reader interest and related comments pertaining to yesterday’s election.] Early this morning columnist David Brooks, NYT’s futile nod to political balance, opined that Trump’s victory was made possible by Americans…
