  • Schumer Sells ‘Broken Windows’ (updated)

    George Rebane The US adopting the dreadful Paris Accords is the hot topic now.  The accord is a voluntary agreement to further cut carbon emissions by the participating countries.  The major emitters get a pass, with the other developed countries having not even met their past commitments.  And everyone is hollering about President Trump not…

  • Single-Payer Siren Song

    George Rebane If you don’t do numbers, the numbers will inevitably do you. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 31 May 2017.] With Obamacare crashing and burning everywhere across the land except in the leftwing media, the Republicans are still tangled up with their promised ‘repeal and replace’ legislation. …

  • The pot pot keeps boiling

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 May 2017.] We live in confusing times when much of what we hear is manufactured or fake news that overwhelmingly serves to polarize us.  It’s hard to tell whether the late-night comedy hours or the news programs are leading the…

  • TT2017 Survivors’ Breakfast

    George Rebane This morning we held the annual Survivors’ Breakfast for TechTest2017 at our usual venue, Tofanelli’s in Grass Valley.  The event was scheduled earlier than usual (0730) due to some school needs; after all this is a school day and we wanted to hold the lollygagging to a minimum.  This was the eleventh breakfast…

  • Scattershots – 25apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane College grads of 2017.  The good news is that enough workers have retired, been laid off, or just left the work force that is this “another healthy year for college hiring” report in the 25apr17 WSJ.  The bad news is that “this year’s job-seeking seniors are ill-prepared for the job hunt and many…

  • Ruminations – 3apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane Well, it turns out that Obama's White House was indeed illegally monitoring Team Trump during both the campaign and pre-inaugural transition.  Outlets Bloomberg and the Washington Times (here) report on Susan Rice’s involvement in ordering the unmasking of Team Trump personnel.  This is likely to turn out as a criminal matter that maybe will…

  • Scattershots – 11mar2017 (updated 14mar17)

    Of all the Trump conundra, "for now, only one thing remains certain: the candidate whom the Republican establishment most disliked has the greatest potential in a generation to stop the progressive project and enact the agendas that the Republican establishment most wants. And that paradox has become a source of both great wonderment—and fear." Victor…

  • Hatred Institutionalized

    George Rebane That our country has passed the tipping point from a democratic republic has been maintained and recorded in these pages for some years now.  Since the election of Donald Trump as our 45th president there has been a sea change in the national regression.  Never before have major national institutions turned so virulently…
