  • Scattershots – 15dec17

    George Rebane Economic growth is now impacted by the sins of the recent past, so argue economists Phil Gramm (former chair of the Senate Banking Committee) and Thomas Saving.  In their ‘A Booming Economy Will Challenge the Fed’, they present a very readable explanation of how today “the monetary excesses of the Obama era represent…

  • Systemic Unemployment – now it kills (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 29 November 2017.] Longtime listeners to these commentaries are aware of the approaching Singularity – when super-intelligent machines match and then exceed human intelligence – and what is happening with jobs and employment in these pre-Singularity years.  As machines replace more…

  • Our idiots write

    [The letters from two local progressive worthies appeared in the 24nov17 Union.  They are published here as a part of the public service component of RR.  My commentaries on the liberal mind pale when compared to the real things.  You really can’t make this stuff up.  gjr] Trump-Republican gun culture and gun violence When will…

  • Gas tax – Hren answers Boardman

    [NC Republican Party Chairman emailed me this response to George Boardman’s 29oct17 column for publication.  It appears that Mr Boardman missed an important point or two on the new CA gas tax.  gjr] George, Your column yesterday was OK but very incomplete and inflamatory.  You failed to mention why there are no funds for road…

  • Why Not 24/7 Air Attack? (updated 11oct17)

    George Rebane Dropping fire suppressants from fixed and rotary wing aircraft is an extremely effective way to fight wildfires.  Living in the southern California mountains we annually witnessed how air attack kept little fires from becoming big, and big fires from going into populated areas.  In the 1993 Malibu fire, it was five or six…

  • Education – Nevada County’s Quiet Crisis

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 October 2017.] Amid an ongoing parade of mass demonstrations against racism, massive calamities by mother nature, and mass shootings at public venues, we have another ongoing, more insidious, and little-known crisis that directly impacts our community, and will continue to…

  • Scattershots – 26sep17 (updated 1oct17)

    Government is a monopoly of the legitimate use of force within a given territory. – Max Weber, progressive economist and co-founder of sociology. George Rebane In ‘Rule of law or mob rule’, appearing in the 26sep17 Union, Ms Linda Erdmann presents clear and cogent arguments of how ‘presentism’ has uniformly infected the liberal mind in…

  • Hijacking Religion and Delivering the Votes

    George Rebane On the 23sep17 Union’s op-ed page there is a quarter page ad taken out by an outfit calling itself the Earth Justice Ministries.  From their own words (here) it appears that the EJM is a leftwing organization of progressives appealing to people of faith, mainly Christians, to join in the progressive agenda through…

  • Scattershots – 20sep17 (updated 22sep17)

    What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. – Christopher Hitchens George Rebane Cindy Hren, local student and purveyor of things constitutional, published a refresher on the form of our government in the 17feb17 Union (here and here).  Then as if by clockwork, several embarrassingly (but not to them) ignorant progressives lit…
