Month: March 2019

  • Sandbox – 29mar19

    [Well, the Dems are looking to an approach to 'Medicare for All' designed by a couple of Univ of Mass economists that promises "You'd be able to keep your doctor with no premiums or copays, and overall spending would decline."  Now where have we heard all that before?  The many holes in this plan (here)…

  • Ruminations – 29mar19 (updated 2apr19)

    George Rebane For our approval poll watchers, Politico counsels a little prudence in that department and not put too much stock into those reports.  “If the election were held today, Mr Trump would likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide.” (emphasis mine) The Democrats’ agenda?  There ain’t none, as I’ve been pointing…

  • Responding to the Staid and Fearful

    George Rebane RR readers who comment on these pages have a record of discussing and debating the most critical and germane questions that face our country and society in these times of fracturing polarity (albeit not always in the most churchillian manner).  I am a declared conservetarian (q.v.), and over the years of this weblog…

  • Our Road to Venezuela

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 March 2019.] Socialism used to be the third rail of American politics, no more.  A form of governance that requires and ever-larger government to handle the people’s everyday affairs was anathema after WW2, especially with the country having had its brief…

  • Kim Strassel on the Real Scandal (updated 27mar19)

    [“Americans deserve a full accounting of the missteps of Comey and the FBI.”  So argues WSJ’s Washington columnist Kimberley Strassel in the paper’s 25mar19 edition (here).  The real scandal has been a burr under my blanket for a very long time, and I was going to compose some pithy rhetoric on the injustice that has…

  • Sandbox – 25mar19

    [OK boys and girls, now it’s time to talk about the massive mega-lies the Democrats and their lamestream media lackeys have been telling us for the last two years.  To begin, I have to confess to a large error, before Russiagate I thought that the journalistic profession was the demonstrated refuge of mostly ass-kissing ignorameouses,…

  • Ruminations – 23mar19 (updated 25mar19)

    George Rebane Thought I’d try something different on this cloudy and wet Saturday morning.  The Mueller report is in AG Barr’s hands, and from the early assessments it is a nothing burger for the TDS Dems.  If so, they are looking at it merely as a speed bump on the road to Trump’s impeachment, which…

  • Sandbox – 20mar19

    [The Dems want to bump up SCOTUS membership so that they can also have a majority in that branch of government, and do away with the Electoral College to "make every vote count", and give the Hormonal Hordes with WIP brains the vote.  And if that's not enough, then do away with the 1A and…

  • NZ Massacre – the Left’s new perfect storm

    “Conservatism is corporatism in disguise.  I want no part of it. … The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China. … Conservatism is dead, thank God.”  Australian Brenton Tarrant, NZ shooter George Rebane The Christchurch massacre has been covered extensively and also received an initial…

  • Scattershots – 18mar19 (updated 21mar19)

    George Rebane Sen Liz Warren wants to reduce the size of big techs.  As we know, big corporations get that way and survive by practicing the fine art of corporatism.  That means essentially working with politicians and bureaucrats to buy competitive advantage through laws, regs, taxation, etc (all the ways that govt mangles markets) in…
