  • Healthcare from Hell (updated 8jul17)

    George Rebane Union columnist Terry McLaughlin writes an excellent expose of nationalized healthcare in the newspaper’s 6jul17 edition – ‘Government run healthcare wouldn’t be cheaper; more efficient’.  In there she includes a detailed report from New Zealand, one of the countries often cited by socialists of how a healthcare system should work.  As you might…

  • Democrats or Russians – which to fear most? (updated 25jun17)

    George Rebane In the comment stream of a recent post ‘Elections or Polls – take your pick’, a reader posited the thesis that Democrats were a greater danger to the American Republic than is Russia.  This launched a debate thread in which the left-leaning commenters saw those supporting the thesis to range from the ignorant…

  • Safe Spaces, Federalism, Great Divide – A Progress Report

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 June 2017.] With all the anti-Trump furor going on, there is a more important national pot that is slowly coming to a boil, and it brings together a number of issues and recent happenings ranging from safe spaces, free speech,…

  • Compelling Camouflaged Corporatism

    George Rebane Corporatism is the classical scourge of capitalism wherein privately held corporations, either alone or within associations, join with government to create business environments (e.g. markets) that reduce their risks from competition, natural anomalies, and economic turbulence through enactment and enforcement (by the government gun) of favorable laws, regulations, codes, fees, etc that serve…

  • Calling all California’s Closeted Communists

    George Rebane The insanity of permitting/inviting people known to believe in the abrogation of the US Constitution and the government upon which it is founded is now beyond doubt.  The Democrats in Sacramento are either terminally stupid or no longer seek to hide the existential truth that they want to do away with America –…

  • E Unum Pluribus

    George Rebane That fractured Latin exemplifies what the Pew Charitable Trust reports (here) is a sentiment held by more and more Americans.  We have reported the ‘out of one, many’ movement for some years now under the Great Divide moniker.  While there have been many movements to reconfigure the United States over its almost 250-year…

  • Panorama of Progressive Potholes (updated 5may17)

    George Rebane We’re on a little RV trip to the NorCal coast with friends.  This gives us a chance to sample the extent of care that California’s infrastructure has enjoyed under decades of leftwing leadership in Sacramento.  Our roads are an absolute mess, the posterchild of which is the Pacific Coast Highway or State Highway…

  • Scattershots – 25apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane College grads of 2017.  The good news is that enough workers have retired, been laid off, or just left the work force that is this “another healthy year for college hiring” report in the 25apr17 WSJ.  The bad news is that “this year’s job-seeking seniors are ill-prepared for the job hunt and many…

  • California’s Cacophony of Calamities (updated 20apr17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 April 2017.] California is, and has been for decades where it matters, a one-party state – the state’s legislature has been dominated by the Democratic Party since 1959.  The Democrats have called the tune and run things pretty much as…

  • The Wall – Our Porous Sovereignty

    George Rebane Control of its borders is the sine qua non of a sovereign nation-state that intends to remain self-determinant.  And here control means the ability to determine who comes and goes across its borders.  No known nation has ever had 100% secure borders, in other words all borders are porous to some extent.  It…
