  • The Progressive Swamp of Washington D.C.

    [This article was submitted by Norm Sauer, member of The Union Editorial Board, who shares his writings with RR from time to time.  This piece also appears as an op-ed column in the 11mar17 edition of the newspaper (here).  It is printed below as received.  gjr] Norm Sauer “The competent leader of men cares little for the…

  • No Plausible Means in the Lamestream’s Inflated Russian Bubble

    George Rebane This morning NPR again alerted the nation to the manufactured Russian threat, still very much a work in process.  They devoted the major segment of their Morning Edition to “reviewing” Russia’s impact on last year’s election by interviewing two ‘experts’ who turned out to be another pair of pot boiling reporters. We were…

  • Scattershots – 23feb17 (updated 27feb17)

    George Rebane It’s screwing up the short-term that kills you.  Without a successful short-term there is no long-term. Refugees “dashing for the border” was last night’s report on Fox News showing illegal aliens trudging through northern New York snow to cross our unfenced border with Canada.  They claim to fear being apprehended by our ICE…

  • The Benedict Option

    George Rebane America can afford to care for its poor, but not the world's poor. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 February 2017.] Our world is going through an historical upheaval – possibly the penultimate one for humankind.  The salutary effects of western capitalism and colonialism have awakened…

  • 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…

  • Hot time in the ol’ Town Hall tonight

    George Rebane As members of Congress head home for their scheduled recess this coming week, the hard or Alt-Left is preparing a hot time for all Republicans who plan to hold town hall meetings with their constituents.   These radicalized socialists have gone a long way to organize their more placid yet compliant Democrat cohorts to…

  • Are we ready for an economic liftoff?

    George Rebane Are we ever!  Heritage just released its 2017 Index of Economic Freedom (more here) for the nations of the stuck in the middle of a muddle of countries that can’t seem to get their act together.  (Top ten shown)  For us it is doubly troubling because however our burgeoning socialist population has been…

  • Ruminations – 13feb17 (updated 14feb17)

    George Rebane Americans have always been told to keep their powder dry; well, the Democrats want you to let government take over that job. Systemic unemployment, in conjunction with the Singularity a much discussed issue on these pages over the years, is now beginning to draw the attention of more and more analysts, commentators, and…

  • 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…

  • Where Now Democrats? (updated 10feb17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 February 2017.] A lot has happened on both sides of the aisle in the last couple of weeks.  President Trump is off to a determined if not bumpy start to deliver on his campaign promises, and the Democrats …?  Well,…
