  • SB419 – Stupid becomes stupider

    George Rebane There is no lower bound to progressive stupidity.  This truth is again confirmed and demonstrated to boot by SB419 signed into law by our Gov Nutjob.  Adding to all the other problems with our progressively punished public education in California, the new law installs ‘the willfully defiant classroom’ into our schools.  It legalizes…

  • Why Black Lives Don’t Matter to Blacks

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 January 2020.] Do black lives really matter?  Well that clearly depends on whose talk and whose walk you pay attention to.  The loud talk from our congresscritters and black leaders is that black lives very much matter, and that it’s the…

  • ‘OK Boomer!’

    Woke free speech is now defined as the right to interrupt others' speech. George Rebane ‘OK Boomer!’ is the new dismissive epithet directed at anyone older by Millennials and post-Millennials (e.g. Generation Z).  Its most common usage is as a retort to attempted guidance from the older generation, today simply known by the label ‘Boomer’. …

  • Happy Thanksgiving – 2019

    Jo Ann Rebane: Thanksgiving reflections from my childhood  My family lived in Alhambra (southern California) and so did my maternal grandparents, my bachelor uncle, and my paternal grandmother.  We always dressed up for any meal at my grandparent’s house, especially Thanksgiving.  Daddy wore a suit, Mama wore a nice dress, and my sister and I…

  • Scattershots – 3nov19 (updated 6nov19)

    George Rebane Our increasingly dysfunctional school system makes itself felt every time any of us uses a text editor such as MS Word, or one embedded in some app such as the TypePad comment box.  The programmers who write the code that edits what you type are really drawn from a class of dimwits who…

  • Democrats’ Big Lies #s 4682, 4683, 4684 – Three Recent Biggies (updated)

    George Rebane Let’s start with Nancy Pelosi’s whopper proclaimed from the high altar of the House – “No one came to Congress to impeach the President of the United States.  No one.” Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention to American politics since 2016 knows that high on the do-list of all the country’s…

  • ‘America’s Schools (continue to) Flunk’

    George Rebane Speaking of ownership of public policies and government operations, the Democrats own America’s public schools.  They have had title for fifty years to what our children are taught, as they are subjected to somewhere from 12 to 16 years of leftwing ideologies, by unionized teachers and administrators who have laid waste to our…

  • ‘From Racism to Culturism’ (updated 18oct19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 October 2019.] For some decades now, ‘racism’ and ‘racist’ have become a cachet in the Left’s narrative about the sins of the Right when other such appellations fail them.  Few people using such pejoratives can give a coherent definition of…

  • Scattershots – 23sep19 (updated 24sep19)

    George Rebane George Boardman again flies his true colors with his Union column ‘Trump’s great economy?  Depends on where you are on the food chain’.  He hits all the Democratic Party talking points, and even elevates the top 20% of Americans into the ‘enemy of the people’ class.  Why?  Because they’re getting the largest dollar…

  • Scattershots – 20sep19 (updated 21sep19)

    George Rebane The Daily Signal of the Heritage Foundation discovers ‘The Real Reason for Trump Derangement Syndrome’.  RR readers have been discussing and debating the real reasons for the Left’s virulent TDS ever since the 2016 election.  Yes indeed, with foot firmly planted in mouth, our president is still our champion in the “multifront pushback—politically,…
