  • Californians, take what you will but … (updated 8mar18)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 March 2018.] California is a mess.  There is not enough time in this short commentary to describe all the ways in which our state has fallen to the bottom of the barrel, but I will attempt to summarize some of…

  • Scattershots – 5mar18 (updated 8mar18)

    If you cannot see the irony in having a gun ban enforced by men with guns, then you fail to understand why the Second Amendment was written in the first place. George Rebane The NYT publishes another exhibit of yellow journalism with an article (here) that leaves the naïve reader convinced that ‘assault rifles’, like…

  • Climate Reporting and Other Asymmetries

    George Rebane We have covered a lot of left/right asymmetric reporting on RR.  Calling such journalism ‘asymmetric’ perhaps substitutes a kinder word for what today has come to be called ‘fake news’.  One area that has institutionalized fake news is the way our lamestream media report the ‘science’ of climate change.  Starting with the leftwing…

  • Government guilty until …

    George Rebane RR readers are familiar with the Rebane Doctrine maxim – ‘If something has gone wrong in society, government is guilty until proven innocent’.  The verity of this has been demonstrated countless times in any and every country, especially in America.  As our government has become the bloated leviathan that it is, the examples…

  • Gun Confiscation – again on the march (updated 21feb18)

    “Over the last fifty years, it’s the Left that has assaulted every moral norm and disdained every religious and cultural restraint.”  Andrew Klavan George Rebane Student groups across the land are now forming to protest the ownership and availability of guns in America.  Their tearful yet uninformed emotions will supply more grist for grinding down…

  • Healthcare Apples, Oranges, and Fruitcakes

    George Rebane The perennial healthcare debate didn’t get any more clear with the latest release of US life expectancy data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the British Medical Journal.  Our life expectancy is 1.5 years lower than the average in OECD countries, and it decreased by another 0.1 year to 78.6…

  • Deep State’s Natural Defenses

    George Rebane Capitalism’s cancer is corporatism, when corporations grow so large that they need government to stifle their competition and in the process kill capitalism. As we witness the massive lamestream and Democrat pushback on the Nunes memo (more here, here, and here), thoughts turn to how Deep State has survived and thrived over the…

  • How China Infiltrated U.S. Classrooms

    Russ Steele Taking a lesson from the progressives who have taken over the American education system, spending more time on indoctrination than teaching, China has joined the propaganda brigade. From Politico: Last year, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte made an announcement to great fanfare: The university would soon open a branch of the…

  • Scattershots – 4jan18

    George Rebane The 2018 Tax Reform Act is legislation that I believe will overall reduce taxes for almost all Americans, and with its business-friendly provisions will give a significant boost to GDP growth.  However, its SALT (state and local taxes) provision disturbs me because it is intrinsically flawed both functionally and, yes, ethically.  The latter…

  • America’s Checkpoints

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 January 2018.] Before we get into the more serious part of the commentary, I want to wish all KVMR listeners a healthy and prosperous 2018.  We all know it will be another extraordinary year no matter what your political outlook…
