  • 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. …

  • The Millennials have Sustainably Tipped Us (updated 16jul15)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 15 July 2015.] You’ve all heard of generational groupings like the so-called Greatest Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen Xers.  Well, the latest are the Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1997.  This cohort is now in their young adult years, and…

  • Continued Confirmation of Collectivist Constituents’ Cognition

    George Rebane One of the major RR tenets over the years has been that the voters, those who resonate with the promises and programs promoted by the Left, are more than somewhat stunted in their abilities to comprehend and reason about the issues of the day.  Admittedly these issues have become more complex as our…

  • The Big Government Go Along (updated 7mar15)

    George Rebane I think Union publisher Jim Hemig gets it.  This morning’s (6mar15) Union has another piece by Hemig in which he supports the 12may15 presentation to our Board of Supervisors on the movement to create the new State of Jefferson.  After some pretty deep heel marks on the floor, the persistent efforts of Mr…

  • It’s not the lack of paperwork (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane We’re back in illegal alien season again.  The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as ‘undocumented immigrants’.  This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before…
