  • Scattershots – 29aug15 (updated 31aug15)

    George Rebane I’ve been away on the NorCal coast where connectivity and even cell phone service ranges between unavailable and being a sometime thing.  With some friends we caravanned up to an RV park near Manchester, and took some day trips up and down the coast to see how folks there were making do.  One…

  • Scattershots – 22aug15

    Liberalism is what ‘smart’ looks like to stupid people. – from a talk radio call in George Rebane Apropos to the above bagatelle, we have a letter to the 22aug15 Union from a Ms Kuczora.  The good lady intends to enlighten the “many ignorant Americans” about socialism, which in her dim lights reveals itself as…

  • Ruminations – 12aug15 (updated 13aug15)

    George Rebane Helped Jo Ann and friends work the Republican booth at the fairgrounds today.  We were located between the Vietnam Veterans and the State of Jefferson’s booth with the NC Tea Party beyond them.  It was kinda like old home week on Redneck Row the way we all were lined up with everyone flying…

  • How the gulf between us widens (updated 12aug15)

    To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. – Charles Krauthammer George Rebane Students of American history agree that President Lincoln was the prime instigator of federalism’s decline and the growth of Washington’s power over our land and lives. …

  • Scattershots – 7aug15 (updated 10aug15)

    George Rebane Donald Trump got on the down escalator last night.  The question now is whether he’ll stuff the Republicans’ chance for the White House in his pocket as he descends.  I was much impressed with most of the line-up in Cleveland last night.  Fiorina and Rubio got definite steps up in the ratings.  Rubio’s…

  • Ruminations – 4aug15 (updated 6aug15)

    George Rebane Progressives are the real opponents of change.  Contrary to their desperate message over the years, their very mindset is sclerotic when it comes to the change that matters in areas like entrepreneurship, invention, technology, economics, individual empowerment, and, of course, personal liberties.  Progressives' latest attempts to keep yesteryear in gear for everyone is their opposition to…

  • US ‘Recovery’ – it’s even worse than we thought

    George Rebane Tax rates have no effect on private sector spending and investments.  Progressive shibboleth The big news this morning (except in the lamestream) is that the US economy has grown markedly less than even the poor statistics we have been shown, and directly experienced, over the last years.  The report from the Bureau of…

  • Planned (alternative to) Parenthood

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 29 July 2015.  Later – a slightly edited version of this piece was published in 7aug15 issue of The Union and on its website here.] By now we have all seen the videos of Planned Parenthood physicians at lunch enjoyably selling their…

  • Dump Trump? (updated 2aug15)

    George Rebane Columnists from the national (Victor Davis Hanson) to our local (George Boardman) scene have concluded that Donald Trump may actually be hitting a nerve with voters who are sick and tired of politicians side-stepping and mealy-mouthing important issues like the illegal alien influx and crime, immigration policy, and how to deal with a dangerous…

  • Do We Invite Carnage? (updated 26jul15)

    George Rebane This is in the Letters to the Future department.  We recently had two more multiple killings in the US – one man killed two and wounded nine with a handgun in a Louisiana movie theater, another two young brothers stabbed five family members to death in their Oklahoma home (more here).  This follows…
