  • ‘The Sovietization of California’

    George Rebane We have covered this dreadful progress to autocracy for years from a number of perspectives.  In my lifetime California has descended from its Olympian perch as the planet’s jeweled jurisdiction, to one that today competes with second and third world countries in governance, infrastructure maintenance, husbanding its natural resources, extracting tribute from its…

  • We do remember … (updated 30nov20)

    George Rebane This list of memories was sent by a correspondent.  I think it makes a strong point.  After four years of a continuous national effort to destroy a legitimately elected presidency, if the Dems think they have an equivalent list then Biden is blowing bubbles out of his butt with all his cynical kumbaya…

  • I fear for our beloved Republic (updated 7nov20)

    George Rebane With the election over and unknown thousands of votes yet to be discovered, counted, and adjudicated, we have entered a virgin and wild land untrammeled in our history.  Having arrived therein, today we are literally a polarized population of pioneers who see the other as savages to be subdued.  Common ground for launching…

  • Biden Family Scandal Debunked

    George Rebane News media’s search for balance is an errand for hubristic fools. Here I am, writing this mea culpa with a red face.  Over the past week or so, I was among the millions of rightwingers who took in the news – hook, line, and sinker – about the business dealings of Hunter, Jim,…

  • ‘I want Trump to die’ addended

    George Rebane [Apologies for the late posting of this promised follow-on commentary.] Thoughtful comments from readers expanded the scope of my 4oct20 ‘I want Trump to die’ commentary to encompass social behaviors that may or not be acceptable and/or legal under our current form of governance.  And this includes a wide variety of people’s aspirations…

  • Unreasonable Partisan Fears

    “We have nothing to fear but those who live in fear.” – BH, RR reader and contributor George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 October 2020.] Our Left has been telling Republicans for years that Democrats are the party of intellectuals and the highly educated.  Republicans are…

  • Ruminations – 11oct20 (updated 13oct20)

    George Rebane Sen Chris Coons (D-DE) invented the newest Democrat Big Lie when he claimed today that the Republicans are the ones “packing the court” with their nomination of Judge Barrett to fill RBG’s seat and bring SCOTUS back to its 150-year level of nine justices.  But his real slam is against the Democrat constituencies…

  • Scattershots – 6oct20 (updated 9oct20)

    George Rebane Trump’s C19 infection and hospital visit is now providing the Democrats and their lamestream lackeys their latest ration of rage.  Everyone of them with access to a mic or website is lambasting the president on why and how his encounter with the virus came about and was then dealt with.  In their eyes…

  • Empaneling 2016/2020 SCOTUS Justices Explained

    George Rebane Democrats are going through a nationwide hissy-fit about President Trump’s announced nomination today of the replacement for the late Justice Ginsberg.  Their anguished screams ring hollow as they attempt to ascend Mount Morality to denounce the Republicans’ election-year nomination and confirmation of a new justice to fill the ranks of SCOTUS, and thereby…

  • Scattershots – 25sep20 (updated 26sep20)

    George Rebane SCOTUS term limits are now proposed by Democrats.  A bill limiting justices to 18-year terms is to be introduced in the House (here).  The Constitution only specifies that there will be a SCOTUS, and then gives Congress the permission to organize it and set up lower courts.  Why Democrats are suddenly considering reducing…
