  • Democrats or Russians – which to fear most? (updated 25jun17)

    George Rebane In the comment stream of a recent post ‘Elections or Polls – take your pick’, a reader posited the thesis that Democrats were a greater danger to the American Republic than is Russia.  This launched a debate thread in which the left-leaning commenters saw those supporting the thesis to range from the ignorant…

  • Schumer Sells ‘Broken Windows’ (updated)

    George Rebane The US adopting the dreadful Paris Accords is the hot topic now.  The accord is a voluntary agreement to further cut carbon emissions by the participating countries.  The major emitters get a pass, with the other developed countries having not even met their past commitments.  And everyone is hollering about President Trump not…

  • The Global Warming Religion Revisited

    George Rebane We are told the Internet is forever.  So this is another missive I want to put in that time capsule to inform both my progeny and future cyber-archaeologists that George Rebane lived in the Post-Intellectual Age of Ignorance and was not party to, but merely an observer of, the hysterics camouflaged as science…

  • Compelling Camouflaged Corporatism

    George Rebane Corporatism is the classical scourge of capitalism wherein privately held corporations, either alone or within associations, join with government to create business environments (e.g. markets) that reduce their risks from competition, natural anomalies, and economic turbulence through enactment and enforcement (by the government gun) of favorable laws, regulations, codes, fees, etc that serve…

  • Panorama of Progressive Potholes (updated 5may17)

    George Rebane We’re on a little RV trip to the NorCal coast with friends.  This gives us a chance to sample the extent of care that California’s infrastructure has enjoyed under decades of leftwing leadership in Sacramento.  Our roads are an absolute mess, the posterchild of which is the Pacific Coast Highway or State Highway…

  • Scattershots – 15apr17

    George Rebane California’s new gas tax is the latest fraud from Sacramento, and part and parcel of the state’s progressivist plunge.  News comes in daily of more companies departing California for greener pastures – Texas and Nevada next door remain favorite destinations.  The latest gas tax is rammed through by the perpetually insane Dem supermajority,…

  • 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…

  • Ruminations – 3apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane Well, it turns out that Obama's White House was indeed illegally monitoring Team Trump during both the campaign and pre-inaugural transition.  Outlets Bloomberg and the Washington Times (here) report on Susan Rice’s involvement in ordering the unmasking of Team Trump personnel.  This is likely to turn out as a criminal matter that maybe will…
