Month: January 2017

  • [Administrivia – am still trying to get commenters to post their topic-relevant comments under the appropriate topic. The sandbox is for stuff for which I don't have a current post. For example, commenting about the record and reputation of John Lewis and Russia's email hacks should go under 'Exactly how did the Russkies do it?'…

  • George Rebane Well now that Congressman John Lewis has declared the Trump presidency “illegitimate”, that icon of civil rights and registration-free voting has attracted more Democrat politicians to join him on the leftwing’s bandwagon to oppose our new president.  Lewis’ contention is that the election is illegitimate due to Russia’s “conspiracy” to oppose Clinton, thereby…

  • George Rebane In the aggregate, Millennials lack social skills.  So conclude a number of studies as reported by NPR this morning.  This adds to the list of significant deficits that our new generation has demonstrated (also reported here, here, here, and here).  Most noteworthy are the problems that social services agencies, the military, and law…

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 January 2017.] In a few days we will witness the most tendentious changing of the guard our republic has had since Abe Lincoln was sworn in.  Now that’s ‘tendentious’ like in ‘having or showing a definite tendency, bias, or purpose’. …

  • [A little more than a week until the big spectacular at the nations capitol.  Given all the ongoing fireworks surrounding Trump and the floundering Democrats, I suppose we can continue staying involved in this 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Yawn'.  gjr]

  • George Rebane True to form, RR readers couldn’t wait for me to get my act together and post on the 6jan17 intelligence community report about Russia meddling in our 2016 election.  The post ‘The Russians did it’ appeared in due time, but not before its dissection commanded quite a bit of real estate in the…

  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • [Apologies for another overdue sandbox.  Boy, they sure fill up fast.  I would personally enjoy readers' thoughts on airport massacres, the new venue of choice for terrorists and madmen to carry out mass shootings in highly crowded environments where the shooter is guaranteed by the federal government to be the only one armed (save the…

  • Not the village constable. There are men of evil mind, who would make of everything a crime, and not because of passion, but just naturally.  Gracian #109 George Rebane WSJ editor-in-chief Gerard Baker contributes a worthy analysis and commentary in his ‘Trump, Lies and Honest Journalism’.  Therein he touches on and corroborates a RR piece…

  • George Rebane The ground shaking shock of 8 November 2016 is not going away; it is getting stronger if anything.  And as Team Trump unveils more of its projected policies and planned programs, America’s socialists along with their well-placed elites are getting more and more scared.  Why?  Because with each described initiative it looks like…
