  • Climate Change Revisited

    George Rebane ‘Climate change’ is one of the unfortunate labels that a nation dominated by dumbth uses to simplify and therefore profoundly misunderstand a very complex process that is made even more confusing through the injection and overarch of political ideologies.  The hoi polloi are salved and saved from all this confounding by being taught…

  • Fascism – what it is and isn’t (addended)

    George Rebane Since the Democratic Party’s great Leftward Lurch, it is now publicly and unabashedly America’s new socialist party, notwithstanding start-up wannabes like the newly formed Progressive Party USA.  The Left’s problem today is how they must carefully wend their way through a potential political minefield in how they describe their brand of collectivism –…

  • Poverty, Transfer Payments, and GNI, oh my!

    George Rebane Abetted by progressive propaganda, the UN has found “shocking” evidence that 40M Americans live in “squalor and deprivation”, which comes to about 12.7% of our population.  The trouble with that piece of fiction is that none of the millions seeking entry into the US by hook or crook believe that bullcrap.  As we…

  • Yellowstone Supervolcano about to blow?

    George Rebane [This little interlude will most likely interest very few RR readers, but it has provided me a respite from the political struggles through my continuing love-affair with pushing squigglies.  Truth be told, I do this kind of stuff quite often, and who knows, there’s always the off-chance that some reader may show interest.]…

  • What the Kavanaugh Confirmation has Really Confirmed (updated 7oct18)

    George Rebane By the slimmest margin, this morning the Senate voted cloture – to restrict remaining debate on the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh before the vote to confirm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  Odds are that by this time tomorrow Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed as the newest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Here and…

  • Escrow the Witch Hunt (updated 29sep18)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 26 September 2018.  It is an augmented version of the previous RR post, ‘Mueller’s “Witch Hunt” Metric’.  An edited version of this commentary was also published in the 29sep18 Union (here).] Even with the ongoing Kavanaugh confirmation hysteria, the Russia collusion…

  • Mine eyes have seen the gory … (updated 21sep18)

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Mr Seeman, my sixth-grade teacher at Ben Davis Elementary School in Indianapolis, motivated his class to take an interest in the 1952 election pitting Eisenhower against Stevenson for president.  He did this by promising to vote for the candidate…

  • Socially Just STEM – it’s a’comin’

    George Rebane While the Dems have the nation tied in Kavanaugh knots and Russia collusions, they are also making quiet progress on other fronts.  In their constant efforts to weaken and then destroy the United States as a sovereign nation-state, our progressives accelerated shift to socialism today adds a new program to stifle and dilute…

  • Progressive Perspectives – 17sep18

    George Rebane George Boardman, our favorite Union columnist, writes in the 17sep18 edition (here) of the newspaper and shares another important worldview held by the country’s progressives.  He starts with an expected dunning of our Republican congressmen Doug LaMalfa and Tom McClintock who refused to attend a candidate’s forum held by the League of Women…

  • Scattershots – 10sep18 (updated 11sep18)

    George Rebane What’s wrong with this picture? The Left likes to make lying a pastime unique to Republican politicians, especially President Trump.  None of them probably noticed that literally all of the Dems’ leading lights on the Judiciary Committee told whoppers when they grilled Judge Kavanaugh in their vain attempts to pry something loose that…
