  • 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…

  • A Purposely Politicized “Pseudo-pandemic”

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Today reporting on the corona or Covid-19 virus (C19) resembles a chaotic cacophony.  I wanted to pull together some salient factors that help me sort things out in this blizzard of mostly junk journalism, agenda driven by election year…

  • Deep State Agencies/Bureaus/Administrations identified.

    George Rebane According to Rebane Doctrine, when an organized unit or authorized agent of any of the three branches of our federal government makes a legitimate request for information from a federal agency/bureau/administration, it should be promptly acknowledged and its commitment to fulfill stated.  If fulfillment is not forthcoming for some reason, then an appropriately…

  • ‘I want Trump to die’ addended

    George Rebane [Apologies for the late posting of this promised follow-on commentary.] Thoughtful comments from readers expanded the scope of my 4oct20 ‘I want Trump to die’ commentary to encompass social behaviors that may or not be acceptable and/or legal under our current form of governance.  And this includes a wide variety of people’s aspirations…
