  • Loony Tunes – 6jul2019 (updated 8jul19)

    George Rebane To our categorical ‘observations and interpretations of events from the last great century of Man’, we must add a section in which, from time to time, some real doozies can be collected and commented.  We all witness and shake our heads at them as they appear in serious publications and outlets.  This morning…

  • Picking a Politically Proficient Heritage

    George Rebane Kamala Harris’ insistence that she is African-American, in spite of the Jamaican detour of her father’s lineage, raises an interesting and, perhaps, important point on how we claim our racial roots in this age of political correctness. (more here)  Not imposing any reasonable limits on climbing up our ancestral tree would, of course,…

  • The 2020 campaign – capitalism vs socialism (updated 3jul19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 June 2019.] Today’s dramatic tack to the left by the Democratic Party and its legion of presidential candidates has brought capitalism vs socialism to center-stage in the public forum.  The Democrat candidates share a common vision for their fundamentally transformed…

  • Scattershots – 24jun19 (updated 27jun19)

    George Rebane The Left wants nothing measured the public reporting of which it cannot control, or that goes against their established narrative. Our intrepid progressive pundit and Union columnist George Boardman is all exercised in his ‘Double dipping at the public trough, in the spotlight, and just the facts’ published in the newspaper’s 24jun19 edition. …

  • Trump, Turing, and the RAF

    George Rebane Regarding the content and direction of his message to voters, President Trump can learn a thing or two from Alan Turing, who is considered by many to be a sanctified founder of computer science and machine intelligence.  Turing was also credited for being the technical head of the British team at Bletchley Park…

  • ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ (updated 24jun19)

    George Rebane Yes, that is the advertised name of the event in public libraries, including our own, during which a man, who dresses and wears make-up to look like a woman, will gather children ages 3-8 around him and read them stories.  Our 21jun19 Union reports (here) on the program and the community’s reaction.  Therein…

  • Ruminations – 22jun19

    George Rebane Another feather in the Millennials’ intellect.  They are having a hard time finding places to live – buy, rent – due to the housing shortage and sky-high rents.  The cause, invisible to them and their progressive mentors, is nothing but governments at all levels doing their best to regulate open market housing development…

  • When will the bull run end?

    George Rebane We are now in the longest bull run in the history of America’s security markets. The nearby figure filched from the 15jun19 WSJ provides some perspective. The question on everyone’s lips is when will this bull run end. As readers know, I’m a semi-retired successful entrepreneur and capitalist who has managed his own…

  • Scattershots – 14jun19 (updated 20jun19)

    George Rebane Proto-socialists on parade.  I noticed in the 14jun19 Union’s lead op-ed another example of a good-hearted, light-thinker wailing about our country’s unequal distribution of wealth, and its pitifully inadequately small government.  A Ms Becky Goodwin laments that no “millionaire” attended her kids’ college graduations to pay off their student loans, and why should…

  • Soaking the Middle Class

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 12 June 2019.] By this time we have all heard the nearly two dozen Democratic presidential candidates promise Americans so many free things we’ll get that most of us have lost track of all the goodies coming our way when one…
