  • The STS Crisis??! WTF!

    George Rebane The progressive plague is well on its way into the STEM fields, seeking to put their moralizing stamp on what our STEM workers should (and ultimately can) think about and work on.  The same progressive pinheads have finally concluded that the discoveries of science and the developments of engineering are not ‘value neutral’…

  • In the Wake of the Great Divider

    George Rebane The collectivist of whatever hue avoids reasoned debate wherever he encounters it because he quickly finds that his cherished arguments are but baseless slogans that will not even support a conversation thread let alone serve as a riposte to reason.  Moreover, he also discovers that attempts to seek refuge in history, science, or economics…

  • Our Pernicious Progressive Press

    George Rebane ‘The Press Buries Clinton’s Sins’ writes WSJ’s Kim Strassel as she outlines the overwhelmingly one-sided reporting “as reporters focus on Trump, the miss new details on Clinton’s rotten record.”  By “miss” she means pernicious failure to report the daily mounting evidence that defines the public record of Hillary’s actions, actions which for others…

  • Minorities – “Unaware and Compliant” Voters

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 12 October 2016.] The bottom line is that blacks and other minorities have not made much progress for their unstinting and unexamined loyalty to Democratic politicians and policies.  And as recently discovered Clinton emails reveal, there is an ongoing effort to induce…

  • Sandbox – 10oct16

    [A sign of the times.  The election is dominating commenters' bandwidth to the extent that the last (1oct16) sandbox garnered only 45 comments.  The present one is opened with fresh sand just to make available a more recent repository to readers who may wish to share a thought not connected to the iceberg that our ship…

  • ‘Immigration in 1958 vs. 2016’

    [Under the same title this piece by Ms Annamaria Sauer was published in the 8oct16 edition of The Union.  Ms Sauer emailed the article and at her request it is happily posted here as received.  The Sauers are friends, and as an ethnic Estonian I share an ancient relationship with Annamaria the ethnic Hungarian for…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 8oct16 (updated 12oct16)

    George Rebane Who among us could stand to have their each and every private utterance displayed on a klieg lit national billboard?  Donald Trump’s most recently revealed transgression is causing an affected coast-to-coast hyperventilation at an intensity that for some more sensitive souls may result in a medical problem.  Upon close inspection there is nothing…

  • Scattershots – 5oct16 (updated 8oct16)

    George Rebane ALL authorizations of government actions not related to national security shall be identified to the specific person responsible, duly recorded and archived citing applicable authority, and subsequently made available to the public upon legitimate inquiry.  ALL such government actions whose authorizations turn out anonymous shall immediately be deemed illegal on their face, and those…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 3oct16 (updated 6oct16)

    George Rebane Trump is having trouble with his feet again.  He’s either shooting at them or sticking them in his mouth.  This gives a lot of ammo to the critics who say that it doesn’t matter with how many smart people President Trump will surround himself, because he simply won’t listen to them.  In the…

  • Sandbox – 1oct16

    [Apologies again for delaying fresh sand for conversations such as those that respond to our perennial progressive critic, Mr Steven Frisch of the Sierra Business Council.  Please reserve our 'Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary' editions for election related comments and commentaries.  gjr]
