  • New S#!t List of “creative and liberal minded” artists

    George Rebane The Left’s raw hatred of President-elect Trump and his supporters knows no bounds.  The man is not yet sworn in, and already leftwing artists are going out of their way to proclaim that they will not perform at his inaugural.  Not long ago, being asked to perform at a presidential event was considered…

  • This Swamp Will Not Drain

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 December 2016.] Fifty-five years ago President Eisenhower warned America about the military-industrial complex which he saw had an “unwarranted influence” on our polity.  In the years following, this notion became a rallying cry for our liberals.  But since then the bogeyman…

  • Sandbox – 27dec16

    [It is now clear that none of the news outlets and pockets of pundits given various persuasions understand what President-elect Trump is doing in staffing his administration and/or starting to coagulate his sometimes outrageous campaign rhetoric into the outline of actual policies.  Those of us who looked behind his literalisms may now find ourselves a…

  • A Holy Day not a holiday

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes to all who read these pages – God’s annual promise reissued.  And to that we…

  • Islamophobia Explained

    George Rebane By all accounts according to the progressives’ definition I am an islamophobe.  My apprehension of Islam’s colonization and eventual conquest of the west has been well documented in these pages.  The ill-read and uneducated leftwingers have taken such apprehensions to be the outrageous screeds of a minority back country white knuckledraggers.  It is hard…

  • Sandbox – 22dec16

    [Dr Anna Haynes appears to have done a revamp of NC Voices.  It's humorous composition and structure viz Right and Left are stronger than ever – actually it admits to no leftwing content even though the site literally overflows with it under headings like 'General', 'Climate/H2O', 'Pelline', 'Personal Growth', … .  And now the off…

  • Large Area Surveillance and Suppression System (updated 22dec16)

    Feedback is the virtue that turns democracy with all its vices, into the least-worst political system.  (And) feedback is turning the incalculable Trump into a tractable, potentially successful president.  Holman W. Jenkins Jr. George Rebane The latest Muslim terrorist attacks in European cities continue to change the cultural landscape of western civilization.  Ground level attacks…

  • Scattershots – 18dec16 (updated 21dec16)

    George Rebane Voice from behind the curtain – ‘Pay no attention to the correlation.’ [update]  A reader has pointed out that the above crime map is inaccurate and cites and article in the 16nov16 WaPo (here) that claims to present better data in the map below.  The article’s conclusion is italicized. The violent crime map shows…

  • Progressives are right about voter ID

    George Rebane This evening the latest report from Fox News on the Michigan recount just came in, and I’m sad to say that progressives have been right all along that requiring voter IDs diminishes the minority voice and vote.  The latest piece of evidence comes in from Detroit, a solid minority leftwing city under Democrat…

  • Sandbox – 17dec16

    [As the predictable was predicted, the world’s bad guys are having their last 'way' with our globally recognized weak and incompetent outgoing president.  Brazenly taking our submersible was just the most recent case of incoming international insults.  Few note that the Chinese didn’t even need to steal the ‘drone’, for stealing means to take something surreptitiously…
