  • Mr Boardman’s Bamboozle or Boo-boo?

    George Rebane Intrepid leftwing columnist at The Union, George Boardman, is either trying to bamboozle the lightly-read reader, or was just a bit fast and loose on the keyboard in his 7jan19 submittal to the newspaper.  In his commentary ‘Don’t Expect Reality to Intrude on Trump’s Argument for a Border Wall’, Mr Boardman launches into…

  • Pelosi’s “Immoral Wall” (updated 6jan19)

    George Rebane In The Myth of the Rational Voter Bryan Caplan documented a significant body of research which showed that in the US voters in the aggregate are what may be termed formally insane.  The general understanding of this phenomenon applies to populations all over the world, and its general characteristics were even known to…

    George Rebane First and foremost, Jo Ann and I wish all of our family, friends, and RR readers a healthy and productive 2019 – hopefully, ‘happy’ can also be fit in there somewhere 😉 As things stand now, US economic growth will continue at a brisk rate in 2019 with low unemployment, especially for the…

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 December 2018.] Dr Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, asks that question in the latest (Dec 2018) issue of the Imprimis.  The answer that our public schools have been teaching for the last half century is NO.  As Arnn points…

  • Scattershots – 16dec18 (updated 20dec18)

    "Distrust of experts is the cornerstone of science."  Richard Feynman George Rebane CA’s revenue model is a disaster as we bid adieu to Gov Moonbeam (he got the name in the 70s when he proposed the state start its own NASA).  70% of state revenues come from personal income taxes, and half of these (i.e.…

  • Scattershots – 10dec18 (updated 13dec18)

    George Rebane Laffer lives, tax rates do affect people’s behavior.  French president Macron and his government have discovered that over the last couple of weeks, and are now retreating from the attempt to wean their country from fossil fuels by boosting the price of such fuels for French consumers and workers.  The monetary losses already…

    George Rebane Don Rogers, ex-hotshot firefighter and now publisher of The Union, writes a good piece (here) in today’s newspaper in which he instructs readers about believing hasty predictions about ‘new normals’ of cold, hot, wet, and dry in California’s weather patterns.  He confirms what we have been preaching for years on these pages about…
