  • Ruminations – 25jan16 (updated 29jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of quick points to which we’ll add later. Hillary in an orange jumpsuit?  That was never supposed to happen if we recall our liberal cadres here assuring us that her email imbroglio was a baseless Republican dust devil that would soon be forgotten.  At a lunch today with people who have…

  • California – The Progressive Paradise (updated 2jan16)

    George Rebane Lenin promised Russians a workers’ paradise, the rest is history. California’s progression toward socialism has long been acknowledged by both the Left and the Right.  The state is known globally as America’s leading laboratory of collectivist programs and practices.   Leftwing media around the world celebrate California’s ‘leadership’ in all things progressivist.  Leading publications…

  • Local Left Situationally Unaware (updated 14dec15)

    George Rebane The local Left joins the national Left in their happy dance about the ‘Climate Change agreement’ reached in Paris this week.  What they don’t seem to appreciate is that it will have about as much impact on earth’s climate, no matter how widely it is accepted or rejected, as does the Iran deal…

  • State of NorCal promoter?

    George Rebane Former county supervisor and current CEO of the Sierra Fund, Ms Izzy Martin, will most certainly become a significant factor promoting the formation of the new state of North California (see also State of Jefferson).  The community organizer and environmental activist is an archetype leftwinger who is doing everything possible to grow Leviathan…

  • The denial of broad-based Muslim sentiment (updated 29nov15)

    George Rebane There is a politically dominant and longstanding narrative by the Left in America (and Europe) that the overwhelming fraction of the world’s Muslims have no intrinsic hatred of the west and America.  In the aggregate these Muslims are supposed to be peaceful and quite sanguine about the west, and they have no sympathy…

  • ‘Can California be Saved?’ (updated 24oct15)

    George Rebane We have long pointed to the travesty of governance that has totally engulfed California over the past decades, and called out its failures which now have become a tidal wave of destruction.  The Left has identified this effort as the misbegotten complaints of an ignorant clutch living isolated from the glorious realities that…

  • Cap & Trade, a tax by any other name …

    George Rebane Liberty is not free, and efforts to make it appear so inevitably lead to tyranny. Mr Steven Frisch, who frequently shares his thoughts on these pages, has written an eloquent opinion piece in the 8oct15 Union in which he argues for compliant submission to California’s carbon cap and trade (C&T) program that became law…

  • National Dumbth Polarizes Us

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 September 2015.] Those who pay attention know that today we are a divided and divisive nation.  And we can’t blame it all on the usual partisanship that makes its appearance during election seasons, which always serve to pour salt into already…

  • Man did it, and is still doing it! (updated 8sep15)

    George Rebane Our government-media complex is ratcheting up the hysteria about man-made global warming (AGW) to a fever pitch in preparation for this fall’s Paris conference on ‘climate change’.  Obama wants the world to see that the US will lead in reducing CO2 emissions no matter the economic cost, and Moonbeam Brown wants the world…

  • California Breaks More Windows (updated 19aug15)

    George Rebane You may fool all of the people only some of the time, but you can fool enough of them all the time. Associated Press published an exclusive report – ‘Lawmakers call for oversight hearings on green jobs measure’ – on the three year aftermath of Prop 39.  California voters were bamboozled by our…
