  • George Rebane The corrupt ‘science’ (it does not deserve the name) behind the global warming hysteria is unraveling by the day, and the lamestream media is doing everything it can to hide the reports and the devastating supporting facts.  Today the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology issued a press release corroborating the reports…

  • Not all liberals are stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they try to think. George Rebane [An edited and ‘liberally’ criticized version of this post was published (here) in the 4feb17 issue of The Union.  I answer my critics here.] Well, it’s now official – multi-kulti does not work.  There are limits to cultural differences…

  • George Rebane The progressive media pundits and political cartoonists have gotten a reprieve on creativity.  For at least the next four years they will each get a pass by posting a Trash Trump piece.  I suppose that’s only fair, but while the conservatives didn’t have that latitude with our recently retired Sec8 president, they did…

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 January 2017.] OK folks, it’s time to take a break from politics and give our Trump trashing muscles a short rest – I’m sure we’ll be back at it soon enough, but in the meantime let’s talk about important things…

  • George Rebane Dr David Gelernter, professor of computer science at Yale and one of my favorite systems guys, writes the title article (here) in today’s (23jan17) WSJ.  It is an important look into the near future of higher education, and reflects everything we have been talking about in these pages – in short, I agree…

  • George Rebane Black congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis hasn’t done much if anything for black folks since he joined the legislative gravy train in Washington, so maintains Jason Riley, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute (here).  What Lewis has done lately is become leader of the de facto Democrat Party’s drive to delegitimize…

  • George Rebane True to form, RR readers couldn’t wait for me to get my act together and post on the 6jan17 intelligence community report about Russia meddling in our 2016 election.  The post ‘The Russians did it’ appeared in due time, but not before its dissection commanded quite a bit of real estate in the…

  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • Not the village constable. There are men of evil mind, who would make of everything a crime, and not because of passion, but just naturally.  Gracian #109 George Rebane WSJ editor-in-chief Gerard Baker contributes a worthy analysis and commentary in his ‘Trump, Lies and Honest Journalism’.  Therein he touches on and corroborates a RR piece…

  • George Rebane A couple of years back I introduced readers to a more detailed look at our Democrat ballyhooed economic recovery.   In addition to the explication therein I was trying to make the point that we really did not have a recovery underway that would get us back on the long established track of economic…
