  • Election Integrity – one more time

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 March 2019.] We have a special election coming up to fill the state’s Senate seat for District #1.  Nevada County is in District #1 and election day is Tuesday March 26th.  This special election has again raised concerns about who…

  • Scattershots – 11mar19 (updated 14mar19)

    George Rebane Looking for national conspiracies?  Now here is one that involves everyone from George Soros through the DoJ/FBI to the DNC/Hillary.  “A dark money group with links to several high-profile liberal activists contributed $2 million to The Democracy Integrity Project, an organization founded by a former Dianne Feinstein staffer that has contracted with Fusion…

  • The Amygdala Struggles (updated 10mar19)

    George Rebane Peggy Noonan (8mar19 WSJ) draws a useful parallel between Mao’s 12-year Cultural Revolution and the present-day antics of the Blue Mobs on campuses and our streets.  Both roilings have involved pre-intellectual young people, mostly students in each country’s academe.  And both sought/seek to banish politically incorrect traditions, customs, learning, behaviors, and thinking.  Mao’s…

    George Rebane California's ruling families.  Well, here are some interesting links among the Browns, Newsoms, Pelosis, and Gettys on the goings on in California politics.  It appears to be a very cozy bunch.  I invite our leftwing brethren (and cistern) to counter any of the presented facts – in short, shoot down the message and…

  • Scattershots – 28feb19 (updated 2mar19)

    George Rebane Trump won big in Hanoi.  By walking away with a smile when the Ugly Fat Kid overreached by offering to give some to get all, our president maintained his creds and caused the UFK to call a midnight news conference to claim a misunderstanding – ‘No, no, no, we didn’t demand that all…

  • CA GOP RIP (soon)

    George Rebane Last week I attended a candidates’ luncheon put on by the NC Republican Women Federated, undeniably the most active and productive party organization in the county.  Featured were the four candidates running for State Senate from our district – Brian Dahle, Rex Hime, Kevin Kiley, Theodore Dziuba.  Each a fine gentleman, and each…

  • Scattershots – 25feb19 (updated 26feb19)

    George Rebane In ‘America’s Second Civil War’ by Dennis Prager, he makes the case of the Great Divide stating that, save for slavery, Americans are further apart in how they think about their country and in which direction should be its future, than during the “First Civil War” in the 19th century.  He writes in…

  • None dare call it treason

    George Rebane ‘Microsoft workers’ letter demands company drop Army HoloLens contract’.  Microsoft “workers” (not employees) are the latest of progressives working at high tech companies to protest doing work for the DoD in defense of America.  Other companies like Google have already turned down defense work in which they could make a significant contribution to…

  • Idiots (Evil?) on Parade (updated 18feb19)

    George Rebane I claimed that the photo of all the congressional critters who support the Green New Deal will become iconic to both the Left and the Right, of course, for diametrically opposite reasons.  I’m not sure that all of the pictured 40 are demonstrably stupid, such as AOC; no doubt many of them intend…

    The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity; the main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery – W. Churchill George Rebane ‘Amazon Cancels HQ2 Plans in NYC’ – Now here’s a good dose of social justice for the residents of NYC delivered by local socialist politicians who couldn’t stomach…
