  • Do We Invite Carnage? (updated 26jul15)

    George Rebane This is in the Letters to the Future department.  We recently had two more multiple killings in the US – one man killed two and wounded nine with a handgun in a Louisiana movie theater, another two young brothers stabbed five family members to death in their Oklahoma home (more here).  This follows…

  • Cosby’s Crash Reconsidered

    George Rebane OK Martha, take the children upstairs, we’re gonna talk about sex and the male urge, or whatever you call it when men start thinking below the belt.

  • The Muslim question is not going away (updated 20jul15)

    George Rebane That we have a politically dysfunctional government is now beyond debate.  That it is approaching operational dysfunction is open for reasonable debate.  After the latest Islamic terror attack within our borders – ninth during the last six years involving a military facility – our national debate has crossed the border between imbecilic to…

  • The Millennials have Sustainably Tipped Us (updated 16jul15)

    “Islam was never the religion of peace.  Islam is the religion of fighting.”  Abu Bahr Al-Baghdadi, ISIS Leader George Rebane Indeed Islam has never been the religion of peace.  History and ongoing worldwide Islamist terror attest to that.  The above quote from a recent ISIS online video is just the latest testimony to a truth…

  • Life After Self-esteem

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 April 2015.] We have all been to award ceremonies for academics and sports where the moderator intones, ‘We’re here to honor and recognize the marvelous achievements of our young champions who have demonstrated their drive and talents.  But in reality,…

  • Liberal Mind – Smoothing out cultural ripples

    George Rebane Used to be that America was this and not that.  We had a predominant culture that was a unique amalgam of the cultures our European immigrants brought with them.  Each succeeding wave of newcomers somehow adapted and worked their culture into what was then resident.  To be sure, cultural discrimination was already popularly…

  • ‘Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ (updated 26feb15)

    George Rebane “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said during the dinner at the 21 Club, a former Prohibition-era speakeasy in midtown Manhattan. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up…
