  • Scattershots – 8apr16 (updated 9apr16)

    George Rebane Socialists and communists have been trying to destroy America for generations.  Learning from past mistakes, they have picked up the pace in recent years under a clearly socialist president.  From this pithy analysis of things one year into FDR’s administration, our current clutch of collectivists are doing much better.  Checking the list below,…

  • Ruminations on 2016 Economic Development (updated 8apr16)

    George Rebane You can never go wrong in today's media making fun of a white, anglo-saxon businessman. The economy and economic development is on everyone’s lips these days. The Left continues to conjure the vision of an ephemeral Obama recovery from the ongoing ‘Great Recession’.  The Right points to the fabricated and pretzellated statistics the…

  • Nevada County’s Latest Economic Development Push (updated 4apr16)

    Ready, Fire, Aim! George Rebane Local folks who read, listen, or go online know by now that our Economic Resource Council (the politically acceptable name sans that dreaded ‘development’ in its moniker) is putting on its now annual economic development extravaganza this Thursday, 7 April 2016.  Yesterday ERC publicist Janet Augstein broadcast its latest online…

  • California’s Economic Dive Picks Up Speed (updated)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast a bit belatedly on 1 April 2016 due to mutual scheduling problems.] California is ready to hasten its spiral into economic destitution with its new legislation to make $15/hr the new statewide minimum wage over the next few years.  As such our state…

  • The Spawn of Islam (updated 24mar16)

    ‘There is not a day that goes by without an Islamist attack somewhere.’ George Rebane The war between Islam and western civilization is in full swing, and the west is not winning.  Yesterday’s Brussels attacks again exposed the butt stupid policies of the progressive left governments.  Yet there is beginning to emerge a glimmer of…

  • Ruminations – 14mar16 (updated 20mar16)

    George Rebane We’ve reported what outfits like Pew Research have discovered about the mental acumen of millennials.  Today we hear from online news services targeting millennial audiences some characteristics of their aggregate behaviors that explain away why this generation is not our nation’s swiftest (Bernie call your office).  The Independent Journal Review is perhaps the leading…

  • Dr Hauck Responds – for the record

    George Rebane Today The Union published the following letter as the latest chapter in what appears to be an ongoing dialogue between Dr Paul D. Hauck and me.  The exchange started with his reading of my Other Voices column ‘Swansong from an Alternate Universe’ (and here), to which he responded with his own OV piece –…

  • Progressivism and the Certainty of Ignorance

    George Rebane One of the unambiguous tenets of a conservetarian is that collectivism, in any of its forms, is a gateway to human suffering and eventual tyranny.  Collectivists, under whichever banner they assemble – progressive, liberal, national socialist, international socialist (communist), … – will first seek to silence their foes by whatever means they are…

  • Ruminations – 23feb16 (updated 28feb16)

    Look to him who comes in with another’s concern in order to go out with his own. … Gracian #193 George Rebane No debate about replacing Justice Scalia should proceed before the Democratic precedents denying a sitting Republican president the same privilege receive full airing. At that time the debate should commence with the Dems…

  • Dr Anna Haynes strikes again (updated 4mar16)

    George Rebane Dr Haynes is the formerly strident voice of Preventable Global Warming and little known owner of NC Voices, a generally useful concentrator of regional news sites, media outlets, and blogs.  She has run this site for some years and recently did a redesign of it.  On it we conservative bloggers have always been consigned…
