  • US ‘Recovery’ – it’s even worse than we thought

    George Rebane Tax rates have no effect on private sector spending and investments.  Progressive shibboleth The big news this morning (except in the lamestream) is that the US economy has grown markedly less than even the poor statistics we have been shown, and directly experienced, over the last years.  The report from the Bureau of…

  • ‘A Rose by any other name …’

    George Rebane Lately, readers claiming not to know my definitions for and usage of ideological labels have accused me and others on the Right of inserting these labels to identify our leftwing counterparts in a pejorative manner.   Unfortunately that is an ignorant error.  To clarify, I have selected a few past RR posts that should remedy…

  • Planned (alternative to) Parenthood

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 29 July 2015.  Later – a slightly edited version of this piece was published in 7aug15 issue of The Union and on its website here.] By now we have all seen the videos of Planned Parenthood physicians at lunch enjoyably selling their…

  • Dump Trump? (updated 2aug15)

    George Rebane Columnists from the national (Victor Davis Hanson) to our local (George Boardman) scene have concluded that Donald Trump may actually be hitting a nerve with voters who are sick and tired of politicians side-stepping and mealy-mouthing important issues like the illegal alien influx and crime, immigration policy, and how to deal with a dangerous…

  • Sandbox – 26jul15

    [The old sandbox again filled more rapidly than I expected.  Thought I'd start the new one off with a comment of my own which was motivated by a report from the radio as it announced the start of a new day. BTW, I am noticing the tendency of some commenters to get back into ad…

  • Do We Invite Carnage? (updated 26jul15)

    George Rebane This is in the Letters to the Future department.  We recently had two more multiple killings in the US – one man killed two and wounded nine with a handgun in a Louisiana movie theater, another two young brothers stabbed five family members to death in their Oklahoma home (more here).  This follows…

  • Cosby’s Crash Reconsidered

    George Rebane OK Martha, take the children upstairs, we’re gonna talk about sex and the male urge, or whatever you call it when men start thinking below the belt. I’ve been a lifelong fan of Bill Cosby way back from the ‘I Spy’ days when he co-starred with Robert Culp.  We have followed his career…

  • Sandbox – 22jul15

    [We have been hearing a lot of chest beating about the demise of the Republican Party during the last year.  And to hear the same prognosticators, 2016 will pretty much bury the GOP.  Here’s a little graphic to ponder.  gjr]

  • The Muslim question is not going away (updated 20jul15)

    George Rebane That we have a politically dysfunctional government is now beyond debate.  That it is approaching operational dysfunction is open for reasonable debate.  After the latest Islamic terror attack within our borders – ninth during the last six years involving a military facility – our national debate has crossed the border between imbecilic to…

  • Another Moderate Muslim turns Radical Raghead (updated 21jul15)

      George Rebane Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez murdered four US Marines in Chattanooga before dying in a gunfight with police.  The FBI immediately took charge of the investigation, discovered some culpatory tweets from unknown locations, and briefed the President.  Our president then assumed his long-established stance of immediate amelioration by identifying this obvious raghead as just…
