  • The Depth of Dumbth (updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Evidence continues to pour in that the most recent generation of Americans – the so-called millennials – have turned out to be the dumbest in our history.  Specifically, their literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills hover above the barely adequate levels to conduct modern life according to diverse sources ranging from America’s employers…

  • Sandbox – 30mar17

    [I and several readers have noticed that mud-slinging bouts in the sandbox occur in waves, but recently these have come at an increasing pace and with longer durations.  The resulting comment streams are difficult to parse for those readers who don't give a crap about the kindergarten tit-for-tat antics; it just makes it harder for…

  • Scattershots – 29mar17 (updated 30mar17)

    George Rebane “America is more divided politically, demographically, and geographically than at any time in recent history”, so argues demographer William Frey from newly released US Census data in a report from the left-leaning Brookings Institute (here).  The overwhelming evidence for the Great Divide just continues to pour in from all sides.  The American Left…

  • Sandbox – 27mar17

    [Lamestream's cynical silence on the publicly proclaimed and peddled influence of the Mexican government and its US agents – La Raza and MALDEF - of the 2016 election is deafening.  And, believe it or not, there are still lefties galore who think it that Russia's unidentified influence should be our real focus on foreign intervention in…

  • AI, Education, and Immigration (Updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Recently the new SecTreas Steve Mnuchin was quoted (here) to claim that the acceleration of technology, specifically the advent of smart machines, would have no or minimal effect on US employment.  The overwhelming evidence that inundates us daily (e.g. recently here and here) leads one to conclude exactly the opposite.  Warning of the…

  • TechTestJunior Expands in 2017 (updated 28mar17)

    Russ Steele, SESF Executive Director This week the Sierra Economics and Science Foundation is sponsoring TechTestJr for 2017, with partners Telestream and AJA Video.  The TechTestJr exam took place on Thursday the 23rd of March at the following partner locations (pictured and indicated below).  This year TechTestJr was part of the Nevada County STEAM Expo [http://www.nevcoexpo.org/]…

  • Questions Unasked and Unanswered (updated 28mar17)

    [This is the appended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 March 2017.] George Rebane This week FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress about ongoing investigations concerning Russia influencing last year’s election, and the alleged ‘wiretapping’ of Trump’s campaign.  There were a lot of questions to ask about what happened, and almost…

  • Sandbox – 21mar17

    [It pained me to read that legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano was suspended by Fox News, and I hope that he will soon be reinstated.  But I take heart that FN is an outlet that allows its senior correspondents to air items they consider important and true, and then hold them responsible for any subsequent…

  • Nationalist Reflections (updated 20mar17)

    Nationalism is a complex, multidimensional concept involving a shared communal identification with one’s nation. It is a political ideology oriented towards gaining and maintaining self-governance, or full sovereignty, over a territory of historical significance to the group (such as its homeland). – Wikipedia George Rebane The Dutch voted yesterday in high numbers to determine which…

  • Sandbox – 15mar17

    ["Which is more important: Building more dams – or protecting the lives of millions of folks living below the dams we already have?" asks Darrell Berkheimer in today's Union (here). That's an OR question?!  The gentleman attempts to explain California's dams to us and cites the horrible danger they all pose because "high hazard" dams abound…
