Month: August 2018

  • Quo Vadis Democrats? (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane It turns out that my ongoing assessments of our Great Divide have been in error – the gulf between America’s Left and Right is significantly wider than what I have been reporting.  This latest epiphany came to me as I was perusing ‘Another Day of Conflicting Realities’, Bob Crabb’s latest post and comment…

  • Sandbox – 27aug18

    [I voted for John McCain in 2008, even though I considered him a weak entry by the Republicans.  But he was a man who had fought the good fight for America, and was a military hero in the true (old) sense of the word.  While not agreeing with all of his politics – especially that…

  • Ruminations – 25aug18 (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane That Lady Justice today only wears a patch over one eye is apparent to at least half the country.  Mueller’s ongoing investigation, along with the FBI et al investigations that preceded it, gives clear and compelling evidence to the bloom of corruption that has compromised our justice system over the last decade.  Kim…

  • Mueller’s “Witch Hunt” Metric

    George Rebane According to Rebane Doctrine, there’s a definite way to hold Mueller accountable for an alleged witch hunt without affecting the current claim that his investigation needs to continue because he’s on to some developing evidence that could resolve the question he was commissioned to answer – Was there any criminal collusion between the…

  • Luxury Communism, the Siren Song

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 August 2018.] Among an alarming fraction of today’s younger generation, capitalism has become a dirty word, and communism has lost all of its historical barnacles.  Along with socialism, today communism is viewed by our millennials as a more socially just system,…

  • Sandbox – 22aug18

    [Well, as testimony to the exciting times in which we live, the old sandbox filled in a day or so.  Please use the last Scattershots to ensconce your comments about the implications of Cohen's attempt to incriminate his former boss of illegal campaign spending.  gjr]

  • Scattershots – 21aug18 (updated 23aug18)

    Slow to believe, and slow to cherish.  Maturity is recognized in the deliberateness with which a man adopts his creed. …   Gracian #154 George Rebane Trump needs a court jester.  In olden days wise kings employed a court jester to provide scheduled entertainment and also ad hoc off-the-cuff remarks during court proceedings.  The court jester…

  • Sandbox – 20aug18

    [OK boys and girls, it's time to do exercises that "help our mental health the most" – and heaven knows we need a lot of help there these days.  I won't give away the punchline, but you can read all about it here.  gjr] 

  • ‘Does Diversity Really Unite Us?’

    George Rebane The short answer to that important question is NO.  We have studied the arguments of scholars and thinkers on this for the life of RR and longer, and have found nothing to persuade us to abandon the blatantly obvious and common sense answer in the negative.   Unity is based on fundamental principles of…

  • Attribution in Dialogues and Debates

    George Rebane Conversations and debates advance toward productive conclusions when each participant in turn builds on what has already been recognized – either expanding or rebutting, but most certainly acknowledging that a notion, idea, or report of a happening has already been presented and made part of the discussion thread.  Admittedly RR presents many topics…
