Month: February 2019

  • Scattershots – 28feb19 (updated 2mar19)

    George Rebane Trump won big in Hanoi.  By walking away with a smile when the Ugly Fat Kid overreached by offering to give some to get all, our president maintained his creds and caused the UFK to call a midnight news conference to claim a misunderstanding – ‘No, no, no, we didn’t demand that all…

  • America’s education – mandated and biased (updated 2mar19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 February 2019.] Many and perhaps most young people today have a very jaundiced view of America, capitalism, Christianity, and western civilization in general.  Instead, all across the country and especially in the academe, they have come to embrace ideas about…

  • CA GOP RIP (soon)

    George Rebane Last week I attended a candidates’ luncheon put on by the NC Republican Women Federated, undeniably the most active and productive party organization in the county.  Featured were the four candidates running for State Senate from our district – Brian Dahle, Rex Hime, Kevin Kiley, Theodore Dziuba.  Each a fine gentleman, and each…

  • Sandbox – 26feb19

    [The NCAA now allows transgender females to compete in women's track events, and soon other sports.  The big concern that needs to be addressed is not that the transgenders are setting new records for women, but that this makes no never mind to the officials now fashioning this new sports world, “Focusing on performance advantage…

  • Scattershots – 25feb19 (updated 26feb19)

    George Rebane In ‘America’s Second Civil War’ by Dennis Prager, he makes the case of the Great Divide stating that, save for slavery, Americans are further apart in how they think about their country and in which direction should be its future, than during the “First Civil War” in the 19th century.  He writes in…

  • None dare call it treason

    George Rebane ‘Microsoft workers’ letter demands company drop Army HoloLens contract’.  Microsoft “workers” (not employees) are the latest of progressives working at high tech companies to protest doing work for the DoD in defense of America.  Other companies like Google have already turned down defense work in which they could make a significant contribution to…

  • Unsustainable Socialism

    If it hasn’t happened, it won’t happen. – Progressive shibboleth George Rebane The conversation hereabouts circles the ‘sustainability of socialism’ barn as regularly as turning the pages of a calendar.   Ever since the French revolution we have always lived with socialists who in past years were harder to spot, at least until Marx and Bastiat…

  • Sandbox – 19feb19

    [I think it's profitable to continue the discussion about how the progressive Left is certain about President Trump's unsuitability for office in light of his domestic and foreign policy record, and the record of investigations that to no avail have sought to nail him.  And in light and in spite of this record, how our…

  • Border Security’s True Colors (updated 20feb19)

    George Rebane For some years I have been pointing out to readers that America’s Left has a totally different outlook on the function of US borders, especially the one with Mexico.  I don’t claim to be flying solo in this interpretation, since several nationally prominent commentators of the Right have expressed their similar views and…

  • Idiots (Evil?) on Parade (updated 18feb19)

    George Rebane I claimed that the photo of all the congressional critters who support the Green New Deal will become iconic to both the Left and the Right, of course, for diametrically opposite reasons.  I’m not sure that all of the pictured 40 are demonstrably stupid, such as AOC; no doubt many of them intend…
