  • George Rebane Do not confuse allegations with evidence. It appears that most RR commenters are practiced psychologists who not only can ascertain, but overwhelmingly enjoy providing free diagnoses of other commenters’ cognitive and character disorders that give rise to their erroneous assertions and assessments.  And many do this rather than dissect and display the errors…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 June 2017.] Today Washington is buzzing with more fake news, scandals, investigations, and legislative brouhahas than people can remember.  This week, instead of delivering one of my usual exhaustively researched and well-thought-out four minute commentaries, I am going cover just a…

  • [Fresh sand for the free for all.  Anyone want to review the latest clinical evidence that liberals/progressives process critical thought with different parts of the brain than do conservatives/libertarians?  gjr]

  • George Rebane One would think that the record of these pages, which includes a considerable revelation of my background, would have cleared up any questions of how I view America’s relationship with and policy toward Russia – apparently not.  So let me attempt to spell it out.  For those expecting a simple view about Russia…

  • George Rebane The Left predicted that yesterday's elections would be a referendum on Trump – well, it turns out they were right. Yesterday was a disaster for the Democrats, and today everyone from their media mentors to their grassroots minions are scrambling to put enough lipstick on last night’s election results to distract the distractable. …

  • [OK boys and girls, here’s your Happy Summer Solstice sandbox, all ready to receive another tranche of exhilarating polling reports with follow on debates guaranteed to boost sales of all caffeine-related products.  However, those wishing to consider other topics may gain inspiration from the winning entry in a Dutch artwork contest depicting Europe’s multi-culturalism problems that…

  • George Rebane Clarification of the 1st Amendment kudos to Union publisher Don Rogers for explaining again that the ‘free speech’ amendment applies ONLY to what our government cannot do to limit communications, no matter how wise, dumb, outrageous, … the message may be.  Private parties that control/own media and entertainment outlets are free to limit…
