Month: July 2018

  • Trump’s Treason?

    Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon and some days you’re the statue. George Rebane As these pages attest, I am not a blinded supporter of all things Trump.  I especially take exceptions to his tweet-in-the-mouth MO with which he often snatches another debilitating defeat from the jaws of victory.  But I did…

  • How many people do we really need?

    George Rebane [Apologies for the ragged composition of this commentary.  I thought it important enough to get it into the RR record, and invite comments/debate by those who care to consider something beyond current events.] How many people are necessary for humans as a species to improve its aggregate quality of life and continue reaching…

  • Sandbox – 18jul18

    [Agreed, that last sandbox was getting a little ripe.  Question – will Dems be able to keep the 'would/wouldn't' dust devil alive until November?  gjr]

  • The Mysteriously Magically Morphed Russian Indictments

    George Rebane Remember last winter when Mueller announced the indictment of 13 (that’s thirteen, like in one, three) Russians in his collusion investigation (more here). Remember that we discussed these indictments in the 14feb18 Sandbox (here), and concluded that there would be a snowball’s chance in hell of getting Russia to hand them over for…

  • Women Taught to Shun STEM

    George Rebane While great effort is being made by universities and the state to attract more women into STEM careers, their massively progressive humanities departments at literally all of the nation’s colleges are doing their best to convince women to reject STEM.  The message of these liberal academics is, “STEM is only for those who enjoy “rote”…

  • Ruminations – 12jul18

    Intellectual ostracism – the refusal to engage with a person or people who cannot rise to minimum standards of rationality. (Stefan Molyneux in The Art of the Argument – Western Civilization’s Last Stand, 2017) George Rebane Dems’ final solution for ‘immigration’.  Given our inundation of illegal aliens from the south, the Dems may yet have…

  • Kavanaugh’s Threat to Civilization

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 July 2018.] President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the prestigious DC Circuit Court of Appeals to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.  Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most distinguished jurists in America with an impeccable resume and over…

  • Sandbox – 11jul18

    [President Trump's trip – is he doing it well, or is his direct and undiplomatic manner going to make things worse for the US when he returns.  And it looks like the Ugly Fat Kid needs another nudge.  gjr]

  • Trump’s Trade War

    George Rebane 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 making a big mistake in imposing tariffs – and doubly so for “national security” purposes.  Perhaps this ol’ noggin’ can’t figure out this global art of the…

  • Our Little Corner of the Confused

    George Rebane Today’s (9jul18) Union highlights the impact of our county’s left turn with some choice letters to the newspaper and a confusing column on the First Amendment.  Usually the Union has better material to publish on their op-ed pages, but occasionally they must run into a dry spell and use it in fairness to…
