  • Republican Candidates – a desperate bunch indeed (updated 13jan2012)

    George Rebane On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, they’re all chucking mudballs at the pack leader Romney no matter how many principles they have to discard or sully.  Romney was once in the business of restructuring failing and/or underutilized companies.  This required at times for him to downsize and restructure business units which…

  • Scattershots – 5 January 2012

    George Rebane •    Iowa produced a tie between Romney and Santorum (within counting error).  It still looks like Romney is stuck at the 25% level when he’s competing with a field of candidates.  This could change in New Hampshire where he is a part time resident.  The interest in the Republican race should continue to…

  • A look at 2012

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 30 December 2011.  The KVMR website has podcasts of this and previous editions of these commentaries.] As we prepare to ring in 2012, I am reminded that governments at all levels have been busy taking away more of my freedoms…

  • The Civilian National Security Force is a’comin’ (updated 28dec2011)

    George Rebane Candidate Obama promised us a new Civilian National Security Force (CNSF) that is “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the military.” (here)  It sounded Hitleresque then, and was promptly pooh-poohed by progressives and quietly forgotten.  Now it looks like we could be one executive order away from having…

  • Both payroll tax bills stink

    George Rebane On the surface it just looks like more congressional bickering.  But the two current versions of the payroll tax bills have written in things which go beyond the 'kick the can' capers that the Dems are promoting and the Repubs are fighting.  Our congressman Tom McClintock peeled back a bit of the sleaze…

  • Christmas in 1949

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary which was broadcast on 16 December 2011.] ‘Tis the season for Christmas stories, so I’m going to tell you about my first Christmas in America.  The year was 1949.  Dad, mom, and I had arrived here in May on a troopship packed with east…

  • Mark Meckler’s CCW Arrest

    George Rebane By now, most people know that Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler was arrested for an alleged ‘concealed carry weapon’ violation at La Guardia airport in New York.  Mark has a CCW permit valid in 23 states.  He sent this email to his TPP colleagues and friends. Subject: Re: How could this happen?…

  • Ruminations – 11dec2011

    George Rebane People are asking whether Obama has become irrelevant.  My answer is an emphatic NO.  As long as he is in office, President Obama will remain a loose cannon impacting the fate of our country with his jaundiced ideology of an America destined to disappear into the woodwork of a new global order.  I…

  • Kakistocracy Rising (updated 10dec2011)

    “Fathom the stupidity of a Government that will require every citizen to prove they are insured……but not prove they are a citizen” George Rebane Today we are reminded again that there are legally sane people out there among and even ruling us who believe that doing the same stupid thing which caused their problems in…

  • The Fed/ECB dollar swap

    George Rebane Does everyone understand what went down this morning between our Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank?  I venture that less than one in ten thousand Americans know that their pocket was legally picked today by international central banks.  This morning the Fed executed a “dollar swap” with the ECB that essentially allows…
