  • International Women’s Day transmogrified (addended)

    George Rebane IWD was launched in 1917 by the American Socialist Party to oppose the war and support nascent communist movements across Europe.  Their message of ‘bread and peace' was later attributed by Leon Trotsky as the real start of the communist and socialist revolutions.  The underlying message to attract ideologically vanilla people was social…

  • More Pabulum for the Devoutly Ignorant

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 January 2015.] Last night President Obama gave a well-delivered yet futile State of the Union speech.  It contained a list of shibboleths of the kind that the Democrats have long pilloried congressional Republicans during the last six years.  All of…

  • Happy ‘Heckler’s Veto’ for 2015 (updated)

    George Rebane For years RR has documented the sad retreat of our fundamental rights and liberties, the withdrawal of which has not caused many an eyebrow to be raised among the country’s gruberized hosts.  Instead, it has given rise to celebrations of every newly minted political correctness by our neighbors on the Left – for…

  • Gruberize them early

    George Rebane I was chagrined but not surprised reading about Obama’s new implementation of pre-K education through his Early Head Start and Child Care Partnerships.  These federally funded programs promise to create a new bureaucracy and enlarge old ones while once again reducing the states’ ability to educate their own young.  I’m not sure how…

  • Scattershots – 6dec14 (updated 10dec14)

    George Rebane Reading the 6dec14 Union this morning, I noticed a spattering of feedback from conservatives and progressives that the editors had assembled.  Jobs and economic development have been elusive objectives for years in Nevada County.  Now that a ton of new environmental regulations are coming down the pike, it is interesting to see how both…

  • Socialist Bamboozles Collective

    George Rebane When I read Steve Frisch’s ‘Sustainable jobs, sustainable communities’ piece in this morning’s 28nov14) Union, I almost sprayed my coffee all over the breakfast table.  Pre-rainstorm chores kept me from leaping on the keyboard until now.  RR already drew some commenting from a couple of readers one of whom, Russ Steele, posted an excellent…

  • It’s not the lack of paperwork (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane We’re back in illegal alien season again.  The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as ‘undocumented immigrants’.  This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before…

  • Two More Shots Across the Bow

    [Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber admits multiple times that "stupid Americans" had to be lied to in order to get President Obama's 'landmark achievement' into a law that now daily exposes how cynical and autocratic our government has become, and how the lickspittle lamestream is supporting the Big Lie (more here).  But then RR reported that way…

  • Ruminations – 9nov14 (updated 12nov14)

    George Rebane The Berlin Wall came down 25 years ago today.  Many people are celebrating that milestone in human history, but Vladimir Putin rues the day as the beginning of greatest human tragedy of the 20th century which ended the horrors of the USSR and its spreading of international communism.  As a young lieutenant stationed…

  • Ebola – A Government Competency Metric (updated)

    George Rebane The extraordinarily incompetent Obama administration is not done with us yet.  We pray that it is only incompetency that has created the current trail of disastrous public policies to vex and punish us – it could be something much more sinister as some commentators have argued, and about which even RR has murmured. …
