  • Millionaires Surtax on Steroids

    George Rebane Should the Democrats win in 2020, the country will suffer a spate of confiscatory tax increases on virtually every aspect of our economic activities.  One of their recent additions to taking your earnings and belongings is the Millionaires Surtax sponsored by Sen Van Hollen and Rep Beyer of Maryland.  This would levy an…

  • Underwriting China’s Bad Behavior

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 November 2019.] While our country is embroiled in the fight to oust a duly elected president on yet to be established evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors before voters have a chance to weigh in on the matter next November, a…

  • Income Inequality Revealed (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 6 November 2019.] Income inequality in America has become a hot button issue.  People in the street are being convinced daily that the inequality is somehow morally reprehensible since they are made to believe that the inequality comes from the rich…

  • Democrats’ Big Lies #s 4682, 4683, 4684 – Three Recent Biggies (updated)

    George Rebane Let’s start with Nancy Pelosi’s whopper proclaimed from the high altar of the House – “No one came to Congress to impeach the President of the United States.  No one.” Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention to American politics since 2016 knows that high on the do-list of all the country’s…

  • ‘America’s Schools (continue to) Flunk’

    George Rebane Speaking of ownership of public policies and government operations, the Democrats own America’s public schools.  They have had title for fifty years to what our children are taught, as they are subjected to somewhere from 12 to 16 years of leftwing ideologies, by unionized teachers and administrators who have laid waste to our…

  • ‘Democrats good, Republicans bad’ – Propaganda Central

    'As government expands, liberty shrinks!' George Rebane Our intrepid columnist George Boardman in the 21oct19 Union laid out (here) a carefully concocted list of stats. Democrat “districts” generate 63% of GDP, while Republican districts manage only 37%. Democrat household incomes increased 17%, while Republican HHs only increased 3%. Democrat “districts” have greater concentrations (“clusters”) of…

  • Outrageous Outages (updated 10oct19)

    George Rebane Our power here in western Nevada County went out at 315am.  We set our phone alarms and got up at 630am, and started the generator.  Turning on our local KNCO, we were advised to remain calm, safe, and that everything in the region was canceled for the day.  A PG&E lady came on…

  • Ruminations – 3oct19 (updated 6oct19)

    George Rebane Former Union publisher Jeff Ackerman writes (here) that Californians today pay and average of $4.02/gal for gasoline while the rest of the country averages at $2.64/gal.  And the escapee to Oregon goes on to point out that all of this is self-inflicted pain that the state’s voters are way past having enough between…

  • Agenda21 to SDGs to Agenda 2030

    George Rebane RR has covered the Agenda21 story extensively over the years primarily in its role as a template for leftwing objectives that their politicians’ public policies seek to fulfill.  (see 'Agenda 21' category) This non-binding UN initiative was formalized in 1992 and signed by over 100 nations.  The US (under Bush1) became a signatory. …

  • Nevada County – economic disaster area

    George Rebane The more that wealth gets redistributed, the less wealth there is to redistribute. This morning’s (27aug19) lead article in The Union by reporter Cory Fisher (here) informs the reader an awful lot about our community that most of us did not know.  It turns out our county is an economic disaster area with…
