  • Oh, were it only that simple (updated 13apr17)

    George Rebane Our local graphical commentator RL (Bob) Crabb posted one of his most powerful and well-crafted offerings filched here from the 11apr17 Union.  In it he joins with deep thinkers like (also local commentator) Hilary Hodge and Rodney King to convincingly communicate the ‘Why can’t we all just get along?’ message. Unfortunately, such effective…

  • To Declare Wars or Not

    George Rebane After the end of our last declared war, diplomat extraordinaire and historian George Kennan wrote in 1946 what has come to be known as the ‘Long Telegram’ (q.v.) outlining a policy to contain the post-war global aspirations of the USSR.  That was quickly followed by his now famous ‘X article’ – ‘The Sources…

  • It’s the Dawa, stupid! (updated 10apr17)

    George Rebane ‘Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam’s Most Eloquent Apostate’ now makes her latest attempt to explain the sum and substance of Islam in a well-summarized interview conducted at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.  Longtime RR readers will recognize that this American scholar, born as a Somalian Muslim, corroborates every point made in these pages about the…

  • Ruminations – 7apr17 (updated 13apr17)

    George Rebane Hallelujah!  Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate and will now fill the ‘Scalia seat’ on SCOTUS.  This brilliant constitutional jurist is just what the country needs to slow our headlong rush to socialism, and assure us all that the high court will fulfill its constitutional role without encroaching on Congress or…

  • Sandbox Sayonara

    George Rebane When RR introduced the Sandbox forum to its readers back in 2014 (here) I don’t think any of us knew how popular it would quickly become.  The purpose of the Sandbox was to give RR readers a place to comment on topics of their current interest upon which I had not yet posted…

  • The Wall – Our Porous Sovereignty

    George Rebane Control of its borders is the sine qua non of a sovereign nation-state that intends to remain self-determinant.  And here control means the ability to determine who comes and goes across its borders.  No known nation has ever had 100% secure borders, in other words all borders are porous to some extent.  It…

  • ‘Fair’ Cost of Goods & Services

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 April 2017.] Capitalism in America is on the ropes and about to take two big hits that most likely will put it down for the count.  The first is to tax automation and technology in the workplace intended to reduce…

  • Ruminations – 3apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane Well, it turns out that Obama's White House was indeed illegally monitoring Team Trump during both the campaign and pre-inaugural transition.  Outlets Bloomberg and the Washington Times (here) report on Susan Rice’s involvement in ordering the unmasking of Team Trump personnel.  This is likely to turn out as a criminal matter that maybe will…
