  • Democracy Destroys the Electoral College

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 February 2020.  An edited version of this was published in the 7mar20 Union (here).] The nation’s Left is again demanding that the country should give up its republican roots and become a democracy – something which our Founders warned us…

  • Scattershots – 21jan20 (updated 27jan20)

    George Rebane RL Crabb is prominent in today’s (21jan20) Union lambasting AB5, the latest socialist outrage from Sacramento. (more here)  This piece of dreadful anti-work legislation has finally caught enough of our liberal artsy-fartsy crowd to also get them squawking – less known, AB5 impacts at least as many of California’s high-tech STEM consultants and…

  • The Harvard Reorganization Plan

    George Rebane Harvard has a plan to deconstruct our republic and rebuild it in their own image.  To launch a national dialogue on this initiative, the university’s prestigious law school has published ‘Pack the Union: A Proposal to Admit New States for the Purpose of Amending the Constitution to Ensure Equal Representation’ which we shall…

  • The Advent of Government’s Mega-overreach

    George Rebane Those who pay attention were made aware that Sacramento is next preparing a bill that would tax companies doing business in California on the basis of the difference between their CEO and median worker pay. (more here)  Portland already passed such a tax regulation last year.  Now you may ask, what business is…

  • SB419 – Stupid becomes stupider

    George Rebane There is no lower bound to progressive stupidity.  This truth is again confirmed and demonstrated to boot by SB419 signed into law by our Gov Nutjob.  Adding to all the other problems with our progressively punished public education in California, the new law installs ‘the willfully defiant classroom’ into our schools.  It legalizes…

  • Scattershots – 2jan20 (updated 4jan20)

    George Rebane Google’s AI does breast cancer diagnoses.  “Google’s health research unit said it has developed an artificial-intelligence system that can match or outperform radiologists at detecting breast cancer, according to new research. But doctors still beat the machines in some cases. … The AI system outperformed the average radiologist in determining whether the women…

  • A Progressive’s ‘Common Ground’

    “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”  Daniel Patrick Moynihan George Rebane Sierra Business Council CEO Steven Frisch took to task my criticism of Terry McAteer’s Union column (here) in which he glossed over the real problems that California has under Democrat leadership.  Along with McAteer, Frisch also appears to be…

  • Scattershots – 10dec19 (updated 16dec19)

    George Rebane Factory workers now starting to require college degrees – ‘American Factories Demand White-Collar Education for Blue-Collar Work’.  We saw this coming some years back in these pages and described the process in some graphic detail (here).   Given the acceleration of technology in general and AI in particular, that was not a hard prognostication…

  • Scattershots – 29nov19 (updated 30nov19)

    George Rebane Recent correspondence with Russ Steele – astute observer of the human condition, especially in Washington DC and Sacramento – brings to mind some thoughts about two particular items. Gov Gavin Newsome confirms his scumbag politician credentials by issuing an executive order “meant to sharpen the state’s focus – and its spending – on…

  • Ruminations – 8nov19 (updated 13nov19)

    George Rebane Progressives moving to suburbs and small towns after they have soiled their coastal urban areas.  Almost half of San Francisco residents now want to leave the shithole city.  These people – overwhelmingly ignorant and anti-capitalist – are like locusts and will also devastate their new homes wherever they land.  The process will not…
