  • Scattershots – 24apr19 (updated 25apr19)

    George Rebane We’ve all seen countless thrillers from Hollywood in which the plot line has a department or agency of Big Government that has gone rogue, and threatens to bring down the country or even the world.  And against great odds our hero/heroine manages to overcome them and triumph.  These movies are made by leftwingers…

  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • Civilian Militia Detains Illegals at Border

    George Rebane News reports tell of a civilian militia in New Mexico’s border region apprehending aliens who had just illegally crossed over from Mexico (here).  The authorities were called and the 300+ illegals were detained until the Border Patrol arrived to arrest and take custody of the aliens.  Such militias have operated in previous years…

  • The Mueller Report – some early takes (updated 20apr19)

    George Rebane The long-awaited report from special counsel Robert Mueller has turned out to be a disappointment on all counts to all sides.  The following summarize my initial take on it. From a legal perspective, the report is an iconic nothing-burger. A 400-page embarrassment that documents the failure to conclude anything definite about the commissioned…

  • Scattershots – 17apr2019 (updated 19apr19)

    George Rebane RR readers may recall that the two necessary pillars on which science rests are Occam’s razor and falsifiability.  The former selects the simplest theory that explains observations, and the latter requires every theory to contain propositions that, the subsequent falsification of which, will either negate or restrict the applicability of the theory.  Religions…

  • Our K-12 education is a national travesty

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 10 April 2019.] The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology tells us that in the next ten years the country will need, at a minimum, about 1M more STEM professionals than we will produce at our current rate.  Today…

  • Reconquista Revisited

    George Rebane Last night on FN, Tucker Carlson interviewed Juan Hernandez, a Mexican government official currently serving as the Guanajuato Secretary of Migration, on Mexico’s policy of permitting central American trans-migration through their country to the US border.  The official pointedly avoided addressing the harm that Mexico’s official behavior does to the United States.  (more…

  • Democrats’ 2020 Platform Previewed

    George Rebane Ever since Trump was elected president and the national Left mobilized their efforts to destroy his administration and unseat him, I’ve been bitching and moaning that the Democrats offered no alternative programs to implement that would “fundamentally transform” America as promised.  Well, the time has come to stop complaining because in recent months…

  • Two Americas – A National Emergency on Steroids (Addended)

    George Rebane A couple of mornings ago NPR’s Morning Edition reported that the illegal entrant rate across our southern border has exceeded over a million per year, and that the border security and illegal alien handling facilities are overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed, the Border Patrol has now abrogated the role of the US Customs and Border Protection…

  • Responding to the Staid and Fearful

    George Rebane RR readers who comment on these pages have a record of discussing and debating the most critical and germane questions that face our country and society in these times of fracturing polarity (albeit not always in the most churchillian manner).  I am a declared conservetarian (q.v.), and over the years of this weblog…
