  • Corporatist Censorship in Full Bloom

    "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."  Vladimir Ilich Lenin George Rebane There is no longer any reason to deny the death throes of the First Amendment.  The country’s Left, working hand-in-glove with its media, public education, and corporatist lackies, has won the Newspeak and censorship wars.  This morning…

  • Unreasonable Partisan Fears

    “We have nothing to fear but those who live in fear.” – BH, RR reader and contributor George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 October 2020.] Our Left has been telling Republicans for years that Democrats are the party of intellectuals and the highly educated.  Republicans are…

  • The Union Decimates its Other Voices

    George Rebane A new editorial policy has descended on The Union.  Since former editor Brian Hamilton left, several columnists, including regular Other Voices columnists Terry McLaughlin and Manny Montes, have had their submitted columns edited to the point of being shredded.  Specifically, the newspaper’s new line editors not only have removed entire sections of pieces…

  • ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ (updated 11oct20)

    “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”, Richard Feynman George Rebane Almost everything you’ve heard about Covid-19 (here also C19) from politicians, the media, and publicized scientists and clinicians is wrong.  Here at RR, early on I started looking at the pandemic with a gimlet eye.  I did this as a science professional…

  • ‘I want Trump to die’

    Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Da Shadow do! George Rebane That wish by the president’s opponents and enemies has been reported numerous times since he tested positive for Covid-19 and was admitted to Walter Reed.  Many commentators, led by Tucker Carlson of FN, immediately reacted to such remarks with condemnation, citing moral strictures…

  • America’s Economic Recovery Narrative

    George Rebane The Dems are trying to bolster their Big Lie about Trump’s disastrous economy by pointing out that growth measures are slowing down.  (For you techies this is appealing to earliest derivative of a function that makes your case; in this case it’s the second derivative of, say, job creation or GDP, since the…

  • Debate1 Reflections (Addended)

    George Rebane President Trump did not pull off a good debate last night.  His biggest mistake was again his motor mouth – he kept interrupting Biden’s long answers in which the man had the best chance to display his faltering mental faculties.  To such welcome interruptions Biden’s response was always a cherubic smile as he…

  • Scattershots – 29sep20 (updated)

    George Rebane AI remains a mystery.  To the overwhelming share of people AI is nothing short of software magic.  Latest evidence of this is how smart gasoline pricing systems formed duopolies and oligopolies in Germany’s gas station sector.  This surprised the so-called experts who had recommended installing such systems in gas stations, so they could…

  • On Covid-19 The Economist blows it again

    George Rebane When the latest issue of the “world’s oldest newspaper” (aka the left-leaning The Economist) arrived this week with its cover story ‘Why governments get it wrong’, and promised to reveal how government can get it right, I got all excited.  Finally, someone is willing to step forward and tell us what the proper…

  • Empaneling 2016/2020 SCOTUS Justices Explained

    George Rebane Democrats are going through a nationwide hissy-fit about President Trump’s announced nomination today of the replacement for the late Justice Ginsberg.  Their anguished screams ring hollow as they attempt to ascend Mount Morality to denounce the Republicans’ election-year nomination and confirmation of a new justice to fill the ranks of SCOTUS, and thereby…
