  • Calling all California’s Closeted Communists

    George Rebane The insanity of permitting/inviting people known to believe in the abrogation of the US Constitution and the government upon which it is founded is now beyond doubt.  The Democrats in Sacramento are either terminally stupid or no longer seek to hide the existential truth that they want to do away with America –…

  • Scattershots – 6may17 (updated 8may17)

    George Rebane CA’s coming RMJ market.  As has long been proclaimed here, California’s recreational marijuana market will be dominated by the big guys.  And the remaining question is whether it will be oligopolized by the big guys, or will there also be room for the small (‘mom& pop’) operators under the RMJ laws Sacramento is…

  • California’s Cacophony of Calamities (updated 20apr17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 April 2017.] California is, and has been for decades where it matters, a one-party state – the state’s legislature has been dominated by the Democratic Party since 1959.  The Democrats have called the tune and run things pretty much as…

  • The Still Muddled Middle (updated)

    George Rebane Recently consideration of America’s political landscape has resurfaced in these pages, motivated by Nevada County’s self-declared middle roader RL Bob Crabb who published a powerful condemnation of both the Left and Right upon which I expanded in ‘Oh, were it only that simple’.  From that Bob took umbrage at me, RR, and our…

  • Oh, were it only that simple (updated 13apr17)

    George Rebane Our local graphical commentator RL (Bob) Crabb posted one of his most powerful and well-crafted offerings filched here from the 11apr17 Union.  In it he joins with deep thinkers like (also local commentator) Hilary Hodge and Rodney King to convincingly communicate the ‘Why can’t we all just get along?’ message. Unfortunately, such effective…

  • It’s the Dawa, stupid! (updated 10apr17)

    George Rebane ‘Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam’s Most Eloquent Apostate’ now makes her latest attempt to explain the sum and substance of Islam in a well-summarized interview conducted at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.  Longtime RR readers will recognize that this American scholar, born as a Somalian Muslim, corroborates every point made in these pages about the…

  • ‘Fair’ Cost of Goods & Services

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 April 2017.] Capitalism in America is on the ropes and about to take two big hits that most likely will put it down for the count.  The first is to tax automation and technology in the workplace intended to reduce…

  • The Depth of Dumbth (updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Evidence continues to pour in that the most recent generation of Americans – the so-called millennials – have turned out to be the dumbest in our history.  Specifically, their literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills hover above the barely adequate levels to conduct modern life according to diverse sources ranging from America’s employers…

  • Mr Boardman’s Apples and Oranges

    George Rebane “Did you know that the moon is 1/49 the size of the earth, even though it is further away?” was a memorable entry in an early issue of Mad Magazine many years ago.  I was reminded of it when reading George Boardman’s regular column in the 13mar17 Union this morning (here).  For readers…

  • 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…
