  • Ruminations – 16feb20 (updated 20feb20)

    George Rebane Bernie will force employers to pay disabled workers the going minimum wage in his “disability rights” platform – according to socialist lights, it’s only fair.  No matter that repeal of Sec 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act will no longer induce employers to fashion jobs for which the (mostly mentally) disabled can…

  • We do have our own facts (updated 7feb20)

    "A house divided against itself cannot stand." A. Lincoln George Rebane [This is the addended and updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 February 2020.] The nationally prominent public figure and liberal Daniel Patrick Moynihan gave us the well-known shibboleth that "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." …

  • Scattershots – 21jan20 (updated 27jan20)

    George Rebane RL Crabb is prominent in today’s (21jan20) Union lambasting AB5, the latest socialist outrage from Sacramento. (more here)  This piece of dreadful anti-work legislation has finally caught enough of our liberal artsy-fartsy crowd to also get them squawking – less known, AB5 impacts at least as many of California’s high-tech STEM consultants and…

  • The Harvard Reorganization Plan

    George Rebane Harvard has a plan to deconstruct our republic and rebuild it in their own image.  To launch a national dialogue on this initiative, the university’s prestigious law school has published ‘Pack the Union: A Proposal to Admit New States for the Purpose of Amending the Constitution to Ensure Equal Representation’ which we shall…

  • The Advent of Government’s Mega-overreach

    George Rebane Those who pay attention were made aware that Sacramento is next preparing a bill that would tax companies doing business in California on the basis of the difference between their CEO and median worker pay. (more here)  Portland already passed such a tax regulation last year.  Now you may ask, what business is…

  • SB419 – Stupid becomes stupider

    George Rebane There is no lower bound to progressive stupidity.  This truth is again confirmed and demonstrated to boot by SB419 signed into law by our Gov Nutjob.  Adding to all the other problems with our progressively punished public education in California, the new law installs ‘the willfully defiant classroom’ into our schools.  It legalizes…

  • Ruminations – 10jan20 (updated 13jan20)

    George Rebane The Dems’ Chorus of Cacophony is now shrieking at Trump for taking out Soleimani the terrorist as a prophylactic for imminent acts of terror, exactly the same thing they blamed and still blame Bush2 for NOT taking out Bin Laden in order to prevent 9/11.  We recall it was Bill Clinton who declined…

  • Why Black Lives Don’t Matter to Blacks

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 January 2020.] Do black lives really matter?  Well that clearly depends on whose talk and whose walk you pay attention to.  The loud talk from our congresscritters and black leaders is that black lives very much matter, and that it’s the…

  • Scattershots – 27dec19 (updated 31dec19)

    George Rebane Well, here are a handful of observations on the progress the progressives are making to fundamentally transform America into a second-world autocracy that will look nothing like what our Founders intended to bequeath us, and nothing like the America many of us older folks have enjoyed and learned about.  And about which the…

  • A Progressive’s ‘Common Ground’

    “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”  Daniel Patrick Moynihan George Rebane Sierra Business Council CEO Steven Frisch took to task my criticism of Terry McAteer’s Union column (here) in which he glossed over the real problems that California has under Democrat leadership.  Along with McAteer, Frisch also appears to be…
