  • Government Iatrogenics (updated 7mar13)

    George Rebane America is being harmed beyond measure by its government.  It is no longer death by a thousand cuts – we have advanced to the slash and burn level of self destruction.  The Competitive Enterprise Institute in cooperation with the Weidenbaum Center has compiled these astounding stats from the feds’ own data.  Under the…

  • Detroit – Collectivism’s Latest Poster Child

    George Rebane Detroit is cueing up as the nation’s latest testimony to collective mismanagement.  It is truly the poster child for what happens when you mix capitalist hubris, progressive pap, unions (public and private), and politically correct ignorance with generous dollops of corruption.  The result is a city that is now on the last stages…

  • The Status of America’s K-12 Public Education

    George Rebane Education is the key to a strong democracy, economic competitiveness and a world-class standard of living. In recent decades, however, America has lost its place as a global leader in educational attainment in ways that will lead to a decline in living standards for millions of our children and the loss of trillions…

  • A Growing Worry in the Land (updated 18feb13)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 February 2013.] Today everyone knows that we are a polarized nation and becoming more so by the day.  I want to talk about the reaction of a large segment of Americans who see their country slipping away.  This perception did…

  • Ruminations – 1feb13

    George Rebane Global blarney.  The IPCC has quietly admitted that its four prime climate change computer models have been overestimating the world’s temperature rises (here and here).  Of course none of these kinds of reports of dubious ‘science’ make any impact on the progressives’ who claim to be champions of science and higher learning.  Their…

  • Black Helicopters over South Houston and Miami

    Smokey the Bear's rules for fire safety – keep it small, keep it in a confined area, and keep an eye on it – apply doubly so to government. George Rebane Here’s a 12 minute video taken by Houston’s KTRK news helicopter of a military drill involving what looks like Army H500 helicopters armed with…

  • Gun Control 2013 (updated 13jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown massacre has been blown into a celebrated “crisis” for the nation’s gun ban contingent.  And President Obama has made certain that this crisis will also not go to waste in his overarching program that is fundamentally transforming America.  He gave VP Joe Biden the job of fashioning the next set…

  • The Great Divide – ‘We don’t need no stinking Constitution’

    George Rebane Bit by piece America’s Left is unraveling the role of our Constitution as the foundation of our country’s governance.  Undoing the legacy of our Founders has now progressed from dancing the progressives’ constitutional sidestep to a growing chorus of calls to do away with the Constitution altogether – a document they see filled…

  • Ruminations – 6jan13 (updated 7jan13)

    George Rebane The banner of socialism still can’t be unfurled over the world’s newest socialist country, but I don’t think it will take much more time before the new generation will accept the label.  The national Left is bursting with pride with its victories in the bag and more on the way.  Everything is falling…

  • Cirino’s Nevada City, RIP

    George Rebane The Progressive Plague that has ravaged California for some years, and with every passing day is becoming even more virulent, struck down a local landmark establishment.  In Nevada City Cirino’s Bar & Grill is shutting its doors according to owner Jerry Cirino because “The state and federal government has taken the most valuable…
