Month: July 2018

  • George Rebane These thoughts are motivated by a letter2editor in today’s Union by Richard Van Steen.  There this gentleman, who has graduated from TDS to TAD, tells us that all Americans who don’t want President Trump immediately impeached are traitors, pure and simple – kinda like the stuff he has between his ears. Lately I’ve…

  • George Rebane Speaking of wholesale lying to the public, the Left’s lamestream is now telling America that the current economic surge under President Trump 1) is really just the planned outcome of all the things that Obama got started, or 2) a spontaneous act of nature like particularly wet season after a drought – actually…

  • [Well, psychiatrists are beginning to report running into more and more patients with Trump Anxiety Disorder (TAD).  TAD seems to be particularly prevalent among those lefties who have suffered from TDS.  The Hill reports on it here.  I guess the human noggin' can stand only so much hate and discontent before it succumbs to a…

  • George Rebane The Opioid insanity.  We now are in courts suing the big pharma makers of opioid pain killers, accusing them of being the cause of the tragic opioid deaths epidemic across the land.  Big pharma neither delivers nor gratuitously promotes the delivery of opioids to those who die from their reckless use.  In the…

  • George Rebane Here I record a brief note made over a year ago that I discovered while clearing my desk for the next project.  It is probably of not much interest to RR’s current readers, but may be for some future internet archeologists, especially students of causality. Closure, n. – the act of bringing to…

  • George Rebane In my 10jul18 ‘Trump’s Trade War’ I opened with the puzzlement that most of his supporters have had lately about the tariffs that he has initiated – “Unless President Trump has something up his sleeve on the outcome of the current tariff tussle and ensuing trade war, I think our fearless leader is…

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 July 2018.] In our hyper-polarized country it’s time to revisit the notion of censoring free speech.  And specifically as this relates to talk radio.  Our Left has had a perennial problem with how talk radio works in America, or how…

  • [Ideology – n. A structured and communicable belief system that in its best expression is composed of tenets defendable by and malleable to reason. Ideologue – a person who is willing to communicate his ideology.  A more dubious definition of an ideologue is “a person who zealously advocates an ideology”.  The adverb 'zealously' denotes doing…

  • George Rebane In ‘Our country’s future relies on embracing those escaping brutality’ by Ms Judith McCarrick of the Immigration Action Alliance we find some pearls, among them – “That migrant parents have broken immigration laws to (surreptitiously) cross our borders is untrue.” Why? Because the legal immigration process is difficult and takes time, and because…

  • Some mistakes are just too much fun to make only once. George Rebane The left-leaning Associated Press reports ‘Democratic socialism surging in the age of Trump’.  The article is a well-written, comprehensive review of what the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are and their recent growth spurt as the Democratic Party lurches hard Left.  (We…
