Month: March 2018

  • Progressives Pander Pubertistas (updated 7apr18)

    George Rebane Yesterday was the day kids across the country were organized to walk out of their classes and protest ‘gun violence’.  Given what the little darlins are (not) taught in schools, they appeared to have no idea of what had happened in Parkland and what they were actually protesting with signs like ‘Choose me,…

  • Stephen Hawking, RIP

      Dr Stephen Hawking, Physicist (1942 – 2018)

  • Ruminations – 13mar18 (updated 14mar18)

    George Rebane College students can’t write, like in cursive handwriting.  More and more are in dire straits at schools that don’t allow laptops in the lecture halls.  Years ago the loss of that ability was described in sci-fi stories of a future when writing skills had withered and people ‘wrote’ by speaking to computers with…

  • Sandbox – 12mar18

    [Time to revisit the national education scene with the just published critique Common Core by Nicholas Tampio (review here), and also enjoy the comedy of ‘Doomsday Climate Scenarios Are a Joke’ by Oren Cass (more here).  Of course we can also re-circle the Trump and Stormy imbroglio a few more times.  gjr]  

  • Trump and the Ugly Fat Kid

    George Rebane There’s more to be said about President Trump’s anticipated meeting with NK’s Ugly Fat Kid (aka Kim Jong Un), the murderous dictator who today runs the world’s largest forced labor camp in the world.  That Trump got the UFK off the dime and issue an invitation is laudable in itself, and has really…

  • Scattershots – 9mar18 (updated 10mar18)

    People want to have their soul in the game.  In that sense, decentralization and fragmentation, aside form stabilizing the system, improves people's connection to their labor.  N. Taleb George Rebane ‘Trump’s Hoover Temptation’ appears to be real and, to me, scary.  The only thing that would keep the world from spiraling into another Smoot-Hawley abyss…

  • Sandbox – 7mar18

    [The corruption of the FBI is detailed by former federal prosecutor and US attorney Joseph Digenova in the feb2018 issue of Imprimis.  Entitled ‘The Politicization of the FBI’, this summary of the 2016-17 ongoings with the Clinton and Trump campaigns is the most clear, concise, and complete recounting I have read.  It totally corroborates the…

  • Californians, take what you will but … (updated 8mar18)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 March 2018.] California is a mess.  There is not enough time in this short commentary to describe all the ways in which our state has fallen to the bottom of the barrel, but I will attempt to summarize some of…

  • Scattershots – 5mar18 (updated 8mar18)

    If you cannot see the irony in having a gun ban enforced by men with guns, then you fail to understand why the Second Amendment was written in the first place. George Rebane The NYT publishes another exhibit of yellow journalism with an article (here) that leaves the naïve reader convinced that ‘assault rifles’, like…

  • Sandbox – 2mar18

    [The lamestream is now reduced to reporting on every Russian who ever had anything to do with US, or who traveled to America and in some way dealt with Trump or let his shadow fall on a Trump property.  What does that say to the work product of special prosecutor Mueller after all these months? …
