  • Our Mobile Politicians

    George Rebane Our California Assemblyman Dan Logue just announced that he “changed his mind” and will no longer represent us.  He is moving out of our community – into which he moved just last year – to another city in another assembly district.  This makes sense for him when he considers his longer term prospects…

  • The World’s Economic Freedom Stats for 2012 – America’s slide continues

    George Rebane On our way to a socialist state we are leaving stark signposts of economic decline.  Among the most important is our relative ratings and rankings over the years.  Such data explain away why jobs are leaving these shores, and why they will not come back. In the meanwhile, we are proud to announce…

  • Mark Meckler’s CCW “Disorderly Conduct” (updated 13jan2012)

    George Rebane Mark Meckler's gun charge at La Guardia airport was disposed of as a "disorderly conduct" today.  He had to pay a small fine and his gun was confiscated.  The story made national headlines a few weeks ago when NYC applied its widely-acknowledged insane CCW law on a citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights…

  • Ruminations – 10jan2012

    George Rebane Barry Pruett reports that Doug LaMalfa will run for retiring Wally Herger’s seat.  I never got to know Rep Herger, but I do know and am a long time supporter of Senator LaMalfa.  California’s legislature is a notorious socialist railroad where Republicans have had scant influence in stopping the economic and social destruction…

  • 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…
