  • Scattershots – 22apr16

    George Rebane Supes Miller and Weston gave their “rationale” for floating Measure W on the 7jun16 ballot (op-ed in 22apr16 Union). They tell us that W is “strictly about controlling nuisance, environmental and public safety impacts from outdoor (MJ) grows.”  Well maybe.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m on record for sharing these concerns voiced…

  • 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…

  • ‘The Great American Disconnect’

    George Rebane Government is an intrinsically evil collective, cynically organized, incompetently operated, and staffed by people not all of whom are evil.  For this reason alone, citizens must keep their governments small and always on a short leash. World history is powered by the strong urge of like-minded people seeking and protecting land on which to…

  • 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 –…

  • March of the Mini-minded Millennials (updated 20feb16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended and linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 February 2016.] In this election year the millennials are going to make their mark, and both parties are doing their best to woo them.  Why?  The simple reason is their numbers; but that’s not the whole story.  The…

  • Scattershots – 10feb16 (updated 12feb16)

    George Rebane NPR reported this morning that the state’s Legislative Analyst Office has concluded that California’s housing shortage is primarily caused by an insufficient number of “market priced” (i.e. low cost) houses being built due regulatory impediments and the state’s mandates for requiring ‘affordable houses’ that must integrated into regular developments and subsidized with non-existent…

  • Understanding Wealth Inequality

    George Rebane Without a formalized utility, making public policy is guided by topical and anecdotal outliers.  [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 October 2015.] Wealth inequality has been a topic of keen interest and agitation, and concerns about it seem to be increasing, especially with our left-leaning neighbors.  Today…

  • A Common History Was Our Common Ground (Addended)

    Goerge Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 August 2015.] US History is again being revised in our high schools.  The new 2014 Advanced Placement US History ‘framework’ is now replacing the old 2010 AP framework, and its adoption will take students one giant step to the Left. …

  • 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. …
