  • Our Mobile Politicians

    George Rebane Our California Assemblyman Dan Logue just announced that he “changed his mind” and will no longer represent us.  He is moving out of our community – into which he moved just last year – to another city in another assembly district.  This makes sense for him when he considers his longer term prospects…

  • Ruminations – 17jan2012 [updated]

    George Rebane We have long heard that ‘stupid is forever’, and now we have indelible proof of that proposition.  Moonbeam has no clue that California has a systemic fiscal disaster on its hands.  His proposed budget for FY2013 is $95.4B when he adds up all the transfers to the general fund from raiding every other…

  • Taxing Your Assets Off

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 January 2012.] Most people know that governments fund themselves by taxing income, profits, consumption, and assets.  The first three we have become used to at least to a degree where we now debate how much higher or lower such taxes should…

  • The World’s Economic Freedom Stats for 2012 – America’s slide continues

    George Rebane On our way to a socialist state we are leaving stark signposts of economic decline.  Among the most important is our relative ratings and rankings over the years.  Such data explain away why jobs are leaving these shores, and why they will not come back. In the meanwhile, we are proud to announce…

  • Mark Meckler’s CCW “Disorderly Conduct” (updated 13jan2012)

    George Rebane Mark Meckler's gun charge at La Guardia airport was disposed of as a "disorderly conduct" today.  He had to pay a small fine and his gun was confiscated.  The story made national headlines a few weeks ago when NYC applied its widely-acknowledged insane CCW law on a citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights…

  • Ruminations – 10jan2012

    George Rebane Barry Pruett reports that Doug LaMalfa will run for retiring Wally Herger’s seat.  I never got to know Rep Herger, but I do know and am a long time supporter of Senator LaMalfa.  California’s legislature is a notorious socialist railroad where Republicans have had scant influence in stopping the economic and social destruction…

  • Campaign 2012 Summarized

    George Rebane If you want to save yourself some time watching all the candidate debates and the endless primaries, then just grok the following graphic as an accurate summary of what we’ll be hearing from both sides until 6 November 2012.

  • Obamination #4,317: AT-6 Award to Brazil company

    George Rebane So much crap happens under the radar of our dysfunctional lamestream.  The Air Force is about to procure the new propeller-driven counter insurgency aircraft from a Brazilian company with connections to Soros, thereby leaving Hawker-Beechcraft of Wichita, Kansas high and dry.  They won’t even let the American company bid.  More here from Flying…

  • Scattershots – 5 January 2012

    George Rebane •    Iowa produced a tie between Romney and Santorum (within counting error).  It still looks like Romney is stuck at the 25% level when he’s competing with a field of candidates.  This could change in New Hampshire where he is a part time resident.  The interest in the Republican race should continue to…

  • Ruminations – 28dec2011

    You can't fix stupid, but you can vote it out. George Rebane Hope that all RR readers did as well as I did in the book department for Christmas gifts.  I got a passel of real good ones that covered topics ranging from global energy strategy, through ‘how our brains make … feel so good’,…
