  • Dropout Derby – 25oct19 update

    George Rebane Rep Tim Ryan (D-OH) dropped out of his “long-shot presidential campaign” yesterday stating, “I got into this race in April to really give voice to the forgotten people of our country: the workers who have been left behind, the businesses who have been left behind, the people who need health care or aren’t…

  • Scattershots – 23oct19 (updated 26oct19)

    George Rebane Gov Newsom is outraged about the price of gasoline in California.  He doesn’t understand why current prices in the state are well into the $4/gal range.  In the best wisdom he and his can muster, they all accuse the oil companies for price fixing as the answer – another swig from the ‘capitalism…

  • Ruminations – 16oct19 (updated 18oct19)

    George Rebane Your choice always depends on the available alternatives, and available alternatives change.  That’s the realworld. Fake news from the lamestream is a torrent and promises to become a tsunami as the election season swings into high gear.  CNN gives another egregious example of reporting exactly the opposite state of US military’s munitions stockpile…

  • Recalling Governor Newsom

    George Rebane California’s Governor Gavin Newsom has turned out as expected, an atrocious chief executive who has now signed a spate of bills into law that is taking the state ever lower in personal freedoms, property rights, and the ability to conduct business.  One of most destructive to enterprises, both for- and non-profits, is SB5,…

  • Scattershots – 11oct19 (updated 13oct19)

    George Rebane Nevada City mayor Reinette Senum calls for the “dismantling” of PG&E during the windless Wednesday night protest in front of city hall.  “During the protest Senum questioned PG&E’s decision to shut off power, saying that although she supports the move in cases of extreme weather, it should proactively turn it back on when…

  • Scattershots – 4oct19 (updated 9oct19)

    George Rebane 'My allegation stands true until you prove it false.'  The progressive's approach to debate and judicial process (see also Alinsky and Stalin's show trials). An anti-American attribute of our Left is their imposition of process over performance in their planning and public policies.  The leftist always seeks to increase government’s scope of control…

  • Ruminations – 3oct19 (updated 6oct19)

    George Rebane Former Union publisher Jeff Ackerman writes (here) that Californians today pay and average of $4.02/gal for gasoline while the rest of the country averages at $2.64/gal.  And the escapee to Oregon goes on to point out that all of this is self-inflicted pain that the state’s voters are way past having enough between…

  • Foreign Influence on the Rise

    People are usually willing to accept the verdict of democratic elections only when all parties share the same national loyalties. – Yuval Harari, widely published historian (emphasis mine) George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 October 2019.] Let’s consider what has become an issue of great…

  • Ruminations – 26sep19 (updated 28sep19)

    George Rebane 'If you nominate Loony Liz, you won't get any money from us.', say heavy Dem donors to the DNC. Dem Rep Schiff's characterization of the Ukraine telecon transcript is historically one of the most audacious stream of lies fabricated out of whole cloth and bearing no relationship to what was in the released…

  • Scattershots – 23sep19 (updated 24sep19)

    George Rebane George Boardman again flies his true colors with his Union column ‘Trump’s great economy?  Depends on where you are on the food chain’.  He hits all the Democratic Party talking points, and even elevates the top 20% of Americans into the ‘enemy of the people’ class.  Why?  Because they’re getting the largest dollar…
