Month: November 2016

  • Ruminations – 30nov16 (updated 2dec16)

    George Rebane RR celebrates Nancy Pelosi’s re-election by Dems to remain their big kahuna in Congress.  The reinstatement of their most ineffective leader in generations – after all she did give us the Pelosi Principle: ‘We have to pass it before we can read what’s in it.’ –  should add to the fair winds the…

  • Sandbox – 27nov16

    [Thank you for your patience in putting up with the 9-day-old sand.  gjr]

  • Progressives Partying on a Pimple

    George Rebane ‘YES, California!’ draws more than a smile from some of us longtime prescients who witness the ongoing dissolution of the America our forebears and we have labored to build.  In these pages and on some other commentariats this has been labeled as the coming Great Divide.  There is no agreement in which of…

  • Counting Our Blessings

    George Rebane Looking forward to a family gathering at Casa Rebane, Jo Ann and I wish all of our readers and their families a most happy and meaningful Thanksgiving.  We live in a land still blessed.  Here are a couple of related readings appropriate for the holiday – ‘The Desolate Wilderness’, ‘And the Fair Land’.

  • So where now?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 23 November 2016.] So where are we going now?  We have a new president-elect voted in by Americans living across the vast expanse of our continent, people who dwell mostly in the smaller cities and towns, people who work the land, people…

  • Ruminations – 22nov16 (updated 26nov16)

    "… for more is often accomplished through a witty remark than through the gravest argument."  Gracian #22 George Rebane The far Left still doesn’t understand what happened on 8 November.  But they do agree with RR’s assessment that we share few if any values and mores.  The two sides’ mantras remain diametrically opposite.  Left –…

  • Shouldn’t you be in Canada by now?

    George Rebane The dismal lamestream media is doubling down on its post-election Trump attacks.  In their gratuitous splurge of hit pieces, thinly disguised as news, they are driving the divisive wedge ever deeper and continuing the class warfare program started by Obama – to be sure, they are not like us.  The good news for…

  • Sandbox – 18nov16

    [Well boys and girls, a good thing happened last week, and it's time for a little joy and celebration to preamble your contributions.  gjr]  

  • On Evil and the Amoral – a brief consideration

    George Rebane Recently a thoughtful RR reader disputed my ascription of a university that he reported had “illegally paid the expenses for students to participate in an anti-Trump rally, … .”  I characterized the people behind such institutional and institutionalized behavior as ranging “between amoral and evil”.  My assessment was dismissed as being not “even…

  • Scattershots – 16nov16

    George Rebane People who don’t agree with the Left are bigots and racists – Progressive mantra Alt-Right??  Does anyone know what that is?  I might throw in ‘white nationalist’ for good measure as another pejorative label that is heavily bandied about in the media today.  Perusing the usual sources provides little resolution since no one…
