Month: May 2017

  • Single-Payer Siren Song

    George Rebane If you don’t do numbers, the numbers will inevitably do you. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 31 May 2017.] With Obamacare crashing and burning everywhere across the land except in the leftwing media, the Republicans are still tangled up with their promised ‘repeal and replace’ legislation. …

  • On Healthcare – one mo’ time

    George Rebane Before any serious discussion of America’s healthcare ensues, we must first come to grips with the answer to this question – What right does any American have to draw on his neighbor’s pocketbook to pay for the repair of his health, the preservation of which he may or not have taken any prudent…

  • Memorial Day – 29 May 2017

    George Rebane We again gratefully contemplate the terrible price paid by those who gave their all so that America may remain the land of opportunity and the home of the free.  The words and photo from Memorial Day – 30 May 2011 still apply, and this video will explain the cost.

  • Scattershots – 28may17 (updated 31may17)

    George Rebane Keep hearing about CBO’s assessment of the Trump budget and healthcare reform among other things.  The lamestream is reporting the office’s assessments as coming down from the mountain on stone tablets.  No one seems to remember that the CBO has an abysmal record in forecasting anything, especially if it has to do with…

  • Scattershots – 25may17 (updated 26may17)

    George Rebane Former President Obama willfully violated Americans’ 4th Amendment rights for years by authorizing and executing large-scale surveillance on all electronic communications by our intelligence agencies (primarily NSA). He did this in the face of protests from the FISA court from which by law he is supposed to seek authorization before conducting such ‘wiretaps’.…

  • Sandbox – 25may2017

    [I accede to the semi-popular demand that RR should reinstate the Sandbox.  So once more the repository for the sundry, the specious, and the surreptitiously studied sobriquets is open for business.  And once more I invite my learned readers to embrace Churchill in their rhetoric, no matter how sweet or sour they choose to serve…

  • The Sandbox Quandary

    George Rebane The new home for the Sandbox announced in ‘Sandbox Sayonara’ did not stick. Mr Todd Juvinall has asked me to take it back. In the interval since its departure RR readers have done a yeoman’s job of keeping their comments relevant to my posted commentaries, and have strayed only through reasonably connected threads.…

  • Scattershots – 20may17 (updated 21may17)

    George Rebane It’s ALL in the algorithm.  Most of those who have the means to pay attention and are doing it know that AI is now on the march everywhere.  And suddenly everyone has concerns about AI taking human jobs – what difference a mere ten years makes.  Here we have talked about all this…

  • The pot pot keeps boiling

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 May 2017.] We live in confusing times when much of what we hear is manufactured or fake news that overwhelmingly serves to polarize us.  It’s hard to tell whether the late-night comedy hours or the news programs are leading the…

  • The War is On (updated 20may17)

    George Rebane The War on Trump – yes, I believe that it’s now a full-fledged war in which the objective is to remove a duly elected sitting president – is steaming full speed ahead.  Yesterday’s clarion claim that the president had “shared sensitive intelligence” (supposedly the name of a middle east city) was modified today…
