Month: December 2016

  • ‘Anonymity is Good, Trust Us’ (updated 17dec16)

    George Rebane The Russian Hacking Pot keeps on bubbling without any clear resolution in sight.  Our Left laments Hillary’s loss, and is now relieved to have found a deep dark reason for it – Russia colluded with Trump to hack her illegal server and the DNC, put the damning emails in the public domain through…

  • Politically Correct Education – the envelope please (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 December 2016.  The addendum contains graphics and links relevant to the arguments of the commentary.] It is again time to take a look at how America’s future is shaping up with respect to the most important measure available – the…

  • Scattershots – 12dec16 (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • Sandbox – 12dec16

    [Hah!  Here's fresh sand before anyone started bitching about it; perhaps a first.  So it looks like the progressive outlets are all agreed that the sky is falling since Trump got elected.  They are also sure that the Russians and Chinese are coming and the American republic (for which they have had little use) is…

  • Election 2016 Fallout

    [Mr Norm Sauer is a retired attorney, member of The Union Editorial Board, and a regular columnist for the newspaper.  He submitted the following article to RR and The Union which also published it today (here).  In this piece Mr Sauer reflects on the election's aftermath and its portents; it is posted as received.  gjr]…

  • Stack & Pack Air Travel

    George Rebane This morning’s WSJ report (here) on how airlines are making economy class air travel even less inviting jogged some memories of a new concept that I’ve discussed with my technology development buddies over the years.  Maybe now that the uncomfortable version of stack/pack seating has become de rigueur, it’s time to again consider…

  • The National Pipeline Lie (updated 10dec16)

    George Rebane As we observe the 75th anniversary of ‘The day that will live in infamy’, it is good to reflect on what brought about that day, and several such days since then.  Traditionally isolationists in the early 20th century years, we were told that WW1 was the war to end all wars.  Most people…

  • “The times call for standing up.”

    George Rebane The recent election did nothing to unite us as Americans.  Half of us are still shocked that the election didn’t turn out as ‘everyone’ was told it would.  And as the shock wears off, the losing side is not about to take President-elect Trump and the victorious Republicans lying down.  At all levels…

  • Sandbox – 6dec16

    [Let the rumpus continue!  gjr]

  • Scattershots – 5dec16

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr George Boardman, Union columnist, for his excellent article in this morning’s paper on the pipeline brouhaha at Standing Rock.  He takes to task numerous groups of people assembling there with various agendas trying to make hay on the concerns of the Dakota and Lakota Indian tribes.  The factors are complex that…
