  • ‘Do We Need Our Country Anymore?’

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 December 2018.] Dr Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, asks that question in the latest (Dec 2018) issue of the Imprimis.  The answer that our public schools have been teaching for the last half century is NO.  As Arnn points…

  • Scattershots – 27nov18 (updated 28nov18)

    George Rebane Climate Hysteria Continues.  Along with many other analysts, Steve Koonin in the 26nov18 WSJ reports (here) that “Headlines warned of economic doom after the U.S. government released its fourth National Climate Assessment last week. Yet a close reading of the report shows that the overall economic impact of human-caused climate change is expected…

  • Lost Words from Our Childhood

    Russ Steele I belong to an eclectic writers group that often shares items they have discovered in the world of words. Below is the latest contribution and it brought back a lot of memories for Ellen and me. We shared with friends, and George encouraged me to post on RR. If you are not over…

  • Happy Thanksgiving 2018

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I wish all our RR friends and readers a very happy Thanksgiving. PS. I’ve long been puzzled by how individual secular humanists think about and celebrate this day as they observe it with family and friends.  Since giving thanks is a show of gratitude for having received something – mostly…

  • Nationalism cum Patriotism

    'Nationalism unites; tribalism divides.' George Rebane The concept and notion of nationalism is now thoroughly misunderstood and misconstrued across western countries.  The gist of the conversation or debate over nationalism is that it has been incorporated into the Left’s trans-national narrative as something that today portends giving rise to the more sinister angels of our…

  • Scattershots – 29oct18 (updated 31oct18)

    George Rebane Growing numbers of liberals now embrace the notion that voting for a living can be more lucrative than working for a living. Hallelujah!  Our distinguished liberal columnist and RR reader George Boardman comes out strong for the educated voter.  In today’s (29oct18) Union he writes, “If you haven't yet taken the time to…

  • Ruminations – 21sep18 (updated 26sep18)

    George Rebane Fall equinox (22sep18, 1845PDT) observance preparations should be completed in time by the devout and/or deluded for tomorrow evening’s passage of the sun directly overhead (somewhere) at the equator on its journey south for our fall and winter seasons.  (This is a public service announcement.)

  • Scattershots – 14sep18 (updated 16sep18)

    George Rebane Judge Ken Starr, special prosecutor of Clintons fame, is pushing his new book Contempt that details the in and outs of the Clinton investigations.  On FN last night he made the surprise announcement that he and his team almost indicted Crooked Hillary who was questioned by Starr for all her dirty doings and…

  • 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…

  • Quo Vadis Democrats? (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane It turns out that my ongoing assessments of our Great Divide have been in error – the gulf between America’s Left and Right is significantly wider than what I have been reporting.  This latest epiphany came to me as I was perusing ‘Another Day of Conflicting Realities’, Bob Crabb’s latest post and comment…
