  • The Liberal Mind – Climate Skeptical Debates are Unworthy and Should be Censored (updated 11oct15)

    George Rebane The more tightly ANY system is coupled, the more likely its performance is paced by its weakest and/or its most stupid members.  Mother Nature In the 10oct15 Union there is an opinion piece that perfectly, nay, iconically reveals the liberal mind.  ‘Let’s Have a Worthy Debate’ by local politician Heidi Hall and much…

  • Cap & Trade, a tax by any other name …

    George Rebane Liberty is not free, and efforts to make it appear so inevitably lead to tyranny. Mr Steven Frisch, who frequently shares his thoughts on these pages, has written an eloquent opinion piece in the 8oct15 Union in which he argues for compliant submission to California’s carbon cap and trade (C&T) program that became law…

  • The XQ Super School Project

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’, Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Two items caught my eye about our disastrous public school system that once more confirm the status of our schools, the intellectual level of our gruberized citizenry, and that teachers unions are the work of the Devil, or a…

  • Obama shoots from the lip on Roseburg (updated 6oct15)

    George Rebane Predictably Barack Hussein Obama voiced his conclusions and exhortations for gun control before the Roseburg bodies had cooled, the wounded were out of surgery, and any relevant information about the shooter and the shootings had been released by the police – anything to take people’s minds off his debacles in Syria, Iraq, and…

  • How Free is America?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 October 2015, not 30 September as previously noted.] For over two centuries America has had the reputation as being exceptional in the freedoms granted its citizens and guaranteed by its constitution.  However things have changed over the last 50 years or…

  • MANN’S “HOCKEY STICK:” A DOCUMENTED HOAX

    [This commentary by Norm Sauer is destined for The Union in the ongoing exchange with Michael Mann on ‘climate change’.  Mr Sauer, who sits on The Union’s editorial board, has given permission for RR to post it in the interval until things get sorted out with the newspaper.  It appears below as received.  3oct15 update: …

  • Scattershots – 25sep15 (updated)

    George Rebane Cheri West, senior aide of Assemblyman Brian Dahle, has declared her candidacy for the District #1 supervisorial slot that will be vacated by Nate Beason next year.  Jo Ann and I only know of her, but don’t know her personally.  She sounds like a worthy candidate to oppose Heidi Hall, her very progressive…

  • Bought and Paid for Politics – Our Fault

    George Rebane Was just thinking about today's more than interesting, long, and expensive election season we all are suffering through.  And the money part kind of stuck with me.  We know that money drives politics.  What drives politicians may be up for debate, but you can’t go too far off base assuming that power, fame,…

  • Preventable Global Warming is a Tricky Business (updated 23sep15)

    George Rebane [Brian Hamilton, editor of The Union, emailed me that this piece was bit too long for their Other Voices columns, and invited me to shorten it.  I felt that a better alternative to abbreviation was to write them a letter-to-editor that cited Mr Paul Berger’s dismissal of my previous OV column, and which…

  • National Dumbth Polarizes Us

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 September 2015.] Those who pay attention know that today we are a divided and divisive nation.  And we can’t blame it all on the usual partisanship that makes its appearance during election seasons, which always serve to pour salt into already…
