  • Ruminations on 2016 Economic Development (updated 8apr16)

    George Rebane You can never go wrong in today's media making fun of a white, anglo-saxon businessman. The economy and economic development is on everyone’s lips these days. The Left continues to conjure the vision of an ephemeral Obama recovery from the ongoing ‘Great Recession’.  The Right points to the fabricated and pretzellated statistics the…

  • MJ – the numbers game (updated 5apr16)

    George Rebane The importance of every social issue derives only from the numbers which underpin it. Without understanding the numbers, our response is limited to unfounded and misplaced emotions. A major RR tenet has been the importance of numbers in the discussion/development of public policy, and the need for a numerate population to maintain our republic.  I’ve posted…

  • California’s Economic Dive Picks Up Speed (updated)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast a bit belatedly on 1 April 2016 due to mutual scheduling problems.] California is ready to hasten its spiral into economic destitution with its new legislation to make $15/hr the new statewide minimum wage over the next few years.  As such our state…

  • The Spawn of Islam (updated 24mar16)

    ‘There is not a day that goes by without an Islamist attack somewhere.’ George Rebane The war between Islam and western civilization is in full swing, and the west is not winning.  Yesterday’s Brussels attacks again exposed the butt stupid policies of the progressive left governments.  Yet there is beginning to emerge a glimmer of…

  • Scattershots – 21mar16 (updated 22mar16)

    George Rebane Today in the 21mar16 Union columnist and RR reader Mr George Boardman reminds us of the tautology that members of our 99% also avoid accountability. He corroborates this with an anecdote or two, as if any were needed.  Very little thought already reveals that the population which overwhelmingly avoids accountability resides in the…

  • Legal Marijuana is Coming (updated 24mar16)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 18 March 2016.] Legalization of marijuana is making progress by fits and starts across the nation.  I want to talk about how those fits and starts are taking place here in Nevada County where marijuana or MJ has long been the…

  • The Stop Trump Terrorists (updated 20mar16)

    George Rebane As did Hitler’s Brown Shirts, so have other socialist/communist thugs and roughnecks throughout recent history been the ones to physically disrupt the gatherings of their political opponents. This is what happened yesterday in Chicago at the planned Trump rally (here), and appears to be the start of this election season’s violent phase –…

  • Ruminations – 8mar16

    George Rebane Lord Keynes famously asked a critical journalist, 'When I get new information, I change my mind.  What do you do?'  Rebane Rule – A politician 'flipping' his views is welcome only when accompanied by what new information was received when which then caused the change. The Union has invited Ms Hilary Hodge to be their new liberal columnist.  Ms…

  • Measure W – MMJ Confusion and Hysteria

    George Rebane Today’s Union published a front page report (here) on the latest phase of “outrage” from the pro-grow faction in Nevada County.  According to the report, the latest to be outraged is the father of an eight-year-old boy with “intractable epilepsy” who is being helped by imbibing MMJ in some unknown form.  In any…

  • Freedom in a Cashless Society (updated 4mar16)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 March 2016.] The next thing to become illegal will be our ability to pay for something with cash.  Certain politicians in America are working hard to catch up with their European counterparts in outlawing transactions using that “ancient relic”.  And…
