  • Ruminations – 14dec12 (updated)

    George Rebane As it gathers steam, the national travesty that is Obamacare is now taking big bites out of our nation’s commonweal, and the real tragedy is yet to come.  Since arriving in the dark of night three years ago, it is now morphing into the gigantic puzzle palace that all government programs eventually become. …

  • Revealing Obama – the beat goes on (updated 14dec12)

    "The spending will continue until the deficits improve." – Michael McDaniel George Rebane Conservative commentators are beginning to realize and report their discoveries that Obama is actually trying to take America into a level of socialism that would make the Europeans blush.  Rush Limbaugh is the most recent to experience this epiphany.  For RR readers,…

  • Raising the Bar for Teachers – Really? (updated 11dec12)

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane As long argued here, education is one of the four necessary elements of a solution to our ongoing national catastrophe of debt and dumbth.  The other three being a new tax code, massive regulatory rollback, and significant entitlements reductions. …

  • Ruminations – 9dec12

    George Rebane Just a couple of quick notes on some current and very important topics – the ongoing disaster of federal meddling in the markets, and how our systemic unemployment growth continues to be the biggest secret our ‘establishment’ (both parties) does not want to you to think about. Remember Fisker, the battery-powered sportscar that…

  • The 360 degree Asia Pivot

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 December 2012.] Something world-shaking happened in Phnom Penh a couple of weeks ago, and Americans didn’t have a clue because our media either did not understand the event, or were still in their ‘protect Obama’ mode of operation.  But first let’s…

  • Ruminations – 6dec12

    George Rebane Remember the ladies from Detroit who loved President Obama’s “stash” but had no idea where it came from.  Well, it’s almost four years later, and one of them seems now to be on the Detroit City Council.  As readers know, Detroit is on its collective ass and getting ready for a little bit…

  • Beyond the Tipping Point – Obama’s Third Term? (updated 4dec12)

    George Rebane Two intellectuals and students of the human condition – Harvard’s Harvey Mansfield and Yale’s Charles Hill – lend their considerable weight to the notion that we are beyond the tipping point to the promised “fundamental transformation” of America.  By all accounts we have now failed the Grand Experiment envisioned by the Founders to…

  • Owing $100T+, STEM Jobs Bill, Workplace Harassment (updated 12dec12)

    George Rebane Now how do I pull all those together into one cohesive topic?  Two former congressmen, Chris Cox and Bill Archer, just informed the country of our real debt problem, ‘Why $16T Only Hints at the True US Debt’ – something of which you fortunate RR readers were apprised of years ago.  It’s more…

  • Fiscal Cliff Fairness (updated)

    George Rebane Well, it won’t be long now.  On 1 January 2013 most people’s taxes will skyrocket, unless you’re one of the gimmes.  The tax increases have one common denominator, they will bring our still anemic GDP growth to a halt and reverse it, while at the same time increasing unemployment by at least 50%. …

  • Past the Tipping Point – 16nov12

    George Rebane Did you know that 36 states already regulate speech between private citizens when it may remotely bear on public policy?  Specifically, today “in more than half the country the simple act of speaking to fellow citizens about issues of public importance can be regulated as a form of lobbying.” In ‘Targeting the ‘Lobbyist’…
