  • Unreasonable Partisan Fears

    “We have nothing to fear but those who live in fear.” – BH, RR reader and contributor George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 October 2020.] Our Left has been telling Republicans for years that Democrats are the party of intellectuals and the highly educated.  Republicans are…

  • Ruminations – 11oct20 (updated 13oct20)

    George Rebane Sen Chris Coons (D-DE) invented the newest Democrat Big Lie when he claimed today that the Republicans are the ones “packing the court” with their nomination of Judge Barrett to fill RBG’s seat and bring SCOTUS back to its 150-year level of nine justices.  But his real slam is against the Democrat constituencies…

  • ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ (updated 11oct20)

    “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”, Richard Feynman George Rebane Almost everything you’ve heard about Covid-19 (here also C19) from politicians, the media, and publicized scientists and clinicians is wrong.  Here at RR, early on I started looking at the pandemic with a gimlet eye.  I did this as a science professional…

  • Debate Derby – 8oct20

    George Rebane The Pence/Harris debate was at least an exercise in civility.  We finally got to compare what the socialists want for America, and what wants they’re not willing to admit to Americans.  We compared this with the capitalists’ plan for the next four years.  What a difference.  Harris spent most of her time lying…

  • Scattershots – 6oct20 (updated 9oct20)

    George Rebane Trump’s C19 infection and hospital visit is now providing the Democrats and their lamestream lackeys their latest ration of rage.  Everyone of them with access to a mic or website is lambasting the president on why and how his encounter with the virus came about and was then dealt with.  In their eyes…

  • America’s Economic Recovery Narrative

    George Rebane The Dems are trying to bolster their Big Lie about Trump’s disastrous economy by pointing out that growth measures are slowing down.  (For you techies this is appealing to earliest derivative of a function that makes your case; in this case it’s the second derivative of, say, job creation or GDP, since the…

  • Scattershots – 29sep20 (updated)

    George Rebane AI remains a mystery.  To the overwhelming share of people AI is nothing short of software magic.  Latest evidence of this is how smart gasoline pricing systems formed duopolies and oligopolies in Germany’s gas station sector.  This surprised the so-called experts who had recommended installing such systems in gas stations, so they could…

  • On Covid-19 The Economist blows it again

    George Rebane When the latest issue of the “world’s oldest newspaper” (aka the left-leaning The Economist) arrived this week with its cover story ‘Why governments get it wrong’, and promised to reveal how government can get it right, I got all excited.  Finally, someone is willing to step forward and tell us what the proper…

  • Empaneling 2016/2020 SCOTUS Justices Explained

    George Rebane Democrats are going through a nationwide hissy-fit about President Trump’s announced nomination today of the replacement for the late Justice Ginsberg.  Their anguished screams ring hollow as they attempt to ascend Mount Morality to denounce the Republicans’ election-year nomination and confirmation of a new justice to fill the ranks of SCOTUS, and thereby…

  • Scattershots – 25sep20 (updated 26sep20)

    George Rebane SCOTUS term limits are now proposed by Democrats.  A bill limiting justices to 18-year terms is to be introduced in the House (here).  The Constitution only specifies that there will be a SCOTUS, and then gives Congress the permission to organize it and set up lower courts.  Why Democrats are suddenly considering reducing…
