  • Another California Brainfart

    George Rebane “The sages of Sacramento have done such a splendid job of not adequately funding California’s public pensions that now they want to do the same for non-government workers. Their latest brainstorm is to establish state-administered retirement plans for workers in the private economy.  This is not a joke. … .” as reported in…

  • Dems Happy Dancing in the Streets (updated 18aug12)

    George Rebane More of same + more time = more of same. Well, if the local lefties are any indication, then there was a lot of Dems dancing in the streets last night after it cooled down a bit.  All the progressive pundits are heralding Obama’s upcoming slam dunk victory.  Might as well not spend…

  • Government Achieving New Lows – Addended (updated 12aug12)

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular Union column that was scheduled to appear the 11aug12 print and online editions of the newspaper.  Due to some administrivia at The Union, the column was published in print and online in their 18aug12 editions.  The addendum was appended on 10 August 2012.] To remind…

  • Ruminations – 30jul12

    George Rebane *** Readers know my position on our country’s teachers’ unions.  They are the documented scourge to education and America’s youth.  Now two more examples of these rotten organizations are making headlines in selected news media (forget the lamestream).  In Louisiana the state’s second largest teachers’ union is suing the state for a new…

  • Calpers’ Predicted Predicament (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 July 2012.] The economy’s downward spiral goes on while the lamestream media continues to paper over the fiscal bombs that explode daily.  The latest report is about the disastrous year that Calpers just finished in June.  You recall that Calpers…

  • The Great Pension Heist is Discovered (updated 17jul12)

    George Rebane Well folks, Scranton’s bankruptcy may have been the cognitive tipping point for the nation, but because of the lamestream cover-up we can’t be certain.  Following yesterday’s announcement by San Bernardino, the Pennsylvania city is now the 12th municipality filing Chapter 9, with 27 more jurisdictions standing in line to be next.  And the…

  • Ruminations – 5jul12 (updated 6jul12)

    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…

  • Ruminations – 29jun12 (updated)

    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…

  • Ruminations – 12jun12 (updated 13jun12)

    George Rebane The situation in Europe is coming to a head, and Angela's got the whole world in her hand.  Now it’s definitely Spain’s and Italy’s turn in the barrel.  The remarkable news is that most likely there will be another €100B thrown at Spain’s banks intended to bail them out of bad sovereign debts…

  • What recovery? (updated 12jun12)

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular Union column that was published on 9 June 2012.  Remarkably, The Union published its print and online versions without the inclusion of the figure.] How’s that recovery working out for you?  It’s seems like we’re watching molasses flow uphill, and we know that is not…
