  • George Rebane [This is the linked and addended transcript to my regular KVMR commentary which will be broadcast after the evening news on Monday 23 November 2015.  Appended is a graphic detailing the chain (thick red arrows) of valid propositions forming a sane preamble for making preventable global warming public policies.  There is little hope that…

  • George Rebane I sent the following letter to The Union after reading the latest ‘resistance is futile’ offering from a well-meaning neighbor in Auburn. *** Mr Gregg Littell’s thoughtful 7nov15 piece, ‘The idea of 'armed rebellion' in the U.S. is ludicrous’, disturbs on several counts.  First and foremost his arguments ignore historical and ongoing realities. …

  • George Rebane From one of their own kind we now have the definitive record of candidate and former SecState Hillary Rodham Clinton’s accomplishments.  Her record has been a longstanding and recently growing concern across the nation as it becomes more clear by the day that she will be anointed as the Democrats' nominee for the country’s next…

  • George Rebane To control a modern society, gain control of its connectivity.

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…

  • ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’, Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Two items caught my eye about our disastrous public school system that once more confirm the status of our schools, the intellectual level of our gruberized citizenry, and that teachers unions are the work of the Devil, or a…

  • George Rebane Predictably Barack Hussein Obama voiced his conclusions and exhortations for gun control before the Roseburg bodies had cooled, the wounded were out of surgery, and any relevant information about the shooter and the shootings had been released by the police – anything to take people’s minds off his debacles in Syria, Iraq, and…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 October 2015, not 30 September as previously noted.] For over two centuries America has had the reputation as being exceptional in the freedoms granted its citizens and guaranteed by its constitution.  However things have changed over the last 50 years or…
