  • Mismanaging Covid-19 News and Response Policies (updated 10dec20)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 December 2020.] The nation’s response to the Covid pandemic has been an episode of our history quite unlike anything that any of us have experienced before.  Those who pay attention know that most of what has been proposed, done, and…

  • In the Wake of the Lying Leftwing Lamestream

    George Rebane The country continues to suffer under the devious reporting of the lamestream media.  The progressive propaganda outlets regularly output two important types of lies (here) in their published content.  The first type is not reporting certain information critical for readers' decision making, the second type is outright false/fake news, in other words making…

  • Looking for Uncounted Votes (updated 20nov20)

    George Rebane Daily we hear of another discovered tranche of uncounted votes.  And these announcements are followed by a chorus of leftwingers (Democrats and their talking heads) pooh-poohing the latest discovery because it isn’t enough to swing the majority.  These come with admonitions that such efforts should cease because they ‘prove’ that there are not…

  • Scattershots – 17nov20 (updated 23nov20)

    George Rebane Coming to a private conversation near you, we can look forward to our socialists putting more screws on our liberties.  Those lovable Scandinavians are again taking the lead in showing our progressives how a compliant and controlled citizenry can be managed.  Reason.com reports (here) – “Norway has banned hate speech against “gender, gender…

  • Following the science, really? (updated 12nov20)

    George Rebane [This is the updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 November 2020.] ‘We follow the science’ has been heard across the land for some months now, mostly from shady politicians, but also from politicians of all shades.  This pompous and gratuitous claim is put out primarily to shut off further…

  • Voter Fraud 2.0 … until the fat lady sings (updated 15nov20)

    George Rebane To describe what is going on with this election as hanky-panky is to diminish what appears as the first verifiable assault on the seminal institution that we use to maintain our democratic republic – the right and practice of franchised citizens to regularly impact the governance of their country. Evidence is pouring in…

  • The Flaws and Fate of Public Opinion Polling

    George Rebane We must always remember that, more often than not, the public mind is fickle, frenzied, and foolish. There was no sign of the ‘Blue Wave’ predicted by the pollsters and ballyhooed by the lamestream.  This is the second (third?) national election in a row about which the polls have been drastically off the…

  • Biden Family Scandal Debunked

    George Rebane News media’s search for balance is an errand for hubristic fools. Here I am, writing this mea culpa with a red face.  Over the past week or so, I was among the millions of rightwingers who took in the news – hook, line, and sinker – about the business dealings of Hunter, Jim,…

  • Misguided Public Safety Power Shutoffs

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 October 2020.] Dear Gov Newsom – This is an open letter to you from an old and very disgruntled citizen who has spent the last 63 years of his life in this beautiful state.  During these decades I went to school,…

  • Scattershots – 25oct20 (updated 28oct20)

    George Rebane Exciting times, youngest granddaughter Fi just gave birth to Maybelle at Sierra Memorial to our fifth great-grandchild.  Daddy Shawn was there to catch it on the first bounce or sooner.  They’re not allowing visitors during these trying times, so our family's welcoming committee will have to form when the new mama and baby…
