  • Dems Happy Dancing in the Streets (updated 18aug12)

    George Rebane More of same + more time = more of same. Well, if the local lefties are any indication, then there was a lot of Dems dancing in the streets last night after it cooled down a bit.  All the progressive pundits are heralding Obama’s upcoming slam dunk victory.  Might as well not spend…

  • Government Achieving New Lows – Addended (updated 12aug12)

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular Union column that was scheduled to appear the 11aug12 print and online editions of the newspaper.  Due to some administrivia at The Union, the column was published in print and online in their 18aug12 editions.  The addendum was appended on 10 August 2012.] To remind…

  • Hockeystick Hansen Strikes Again (updated 7aug12)

    “In fact, [climate change] has now driven our climate outside the range that has existed the last 10,000 years…” — Dr. James Hansen (from NPR) George Rebane There’s a coordinated blitz to recover ground lost to climate change skeptics in the past couple of years.  The lost ground is uneven – in fact, in California…

  • Cliff Notes on Arbitrary Law Enforcement (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 August 2012.] One way morally malfunctioning politicians play both sides of the street and bamboozle the voters is by passing a law, ordnance, or regulation that satisfies one faction of their supporters, and then tell the other faction punished by such…

  • Carrier Task Groups Converging

    George Rebane Note that today’s Stratfor fleet update shows that in a few days there will be three of our five deployed (eleven total) carrier task groups in place to support any US/Israeli plans with regard to contingencies having to do with Syria and Iran.  This will be a rare concentration of such forces.

  • Ruminations – 30jul12

    George Rebane *** Readers know my position on our country’s teachers’ unions.  They are the documented scourge to education and America’s youth.  Now two more examples of these rotten organizations are making headlines in selected news media (forget the lamestream).  In Louisiana the state’s second largest teachers’ union is suing the state for a new…

  • Circling the Barn on Gun Control (Addended)

    George Rebane Comment streams below my posts about other topics often develop threads about Second Amendment rights and, yes, gun control.  This has been a hot thread the last few days in the comments under ‘Obama is a Self-Declared Marxist’.  No doubt the recent murderous rampage in Aurora, Colorado has piqued the national interest in…

  • Calpers’ Predicted Predicament (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 July 2012.] The economy’s downward spiral goes on while the lamestream media continues to paper over the fiscal bombs that explode daily.  The latest report is about the disastrous year that Calpers just finished in June.  You recall that Calpers…

  • Obama’s true colors unfurling (updated 8aug12)

    You see, as the Enlightenment fades, so will its diamond shaped social structure – dominated by a large and vigorous middle class.  That pattern fostered vibrancy and creativity, but also brittle flightiness.  The kitschy culture and fickle habits that infested your forever-adolescent America. … That kind of social order is unstable.  Too dependent on high…

  • Obama is a self-declared Marxist – addended (23jul12 update)

    George Rebane Since Obama opened his mouth during his 2008 candidacy, RR has maintained that the man is a Marxist.  There is little surprise in that conclusion when we consider his grandparents, parents, school years, Chicago brethren, his own words, and deeds as President.  But last Friday in Roanoke, VA he dispelled all residual doubt…
