  • Bernie’s Big Lie – Socialist Sweden

    George Rebane Sen Bernie Sanders’ lies are too many to count, but one that he keeps repeating successfully to the nation’s light thinkers involves the myth of Scandinavian socialism.  This is the kind of socialism that Bernie wants to incorporate in the United States, and he continues to use Sweden as the posterchild of how…

  • Dropout Derby – 5mar20

    George Rebane Now which one will Pocahontas bless as she rides into the sunset after being rejected by her friends and neighbors, who knew her too well?  And Tulsi, give us a break, please!

  • The Socialistic Socialization of Socialism (updated 6mar20)

    George Rebane Some thoughts on Super Tuesday 2020.  Socialism is a form of organizing society and the economy, a form unknown to our younger generations.  They have been taught in our schools all about the mythical glories of socialism, and no history of what actually happens when countries have adopted it.  Today they are saturated…

  • Scattershots – 2mar20 (updated 5mar20)

    George Rebane Gun-free zones are the secure hunting grounds for armed killers. Bernie’s latest Big Lie was his report on Cuba’s commendable “literacy program”.  Everyone who understands communist governance knows that Castro initiated no such program to teach Cubans to read – Cubans were already a very literate people in 1960.  What he really did…

  • Fair Share Taxing

    “Since this is an era when many people are concerned about ‘fairness’ and ‘social justice’, what is your ‘fair share’ of what someone else has worked for?”  Thomas Sowell. George Rebane Our socialist and proto-communist politicians have no policies to grow economies and generate wealth.  Instead, they buy their way into office by promising to…

  • Ruminations – 26feb20 (updated 27feb20)

    George Rebane A coronavirus panic is being vigorously promoted today by the lamestream media in response to their Democrat congresscritter masters who are doing everything they can to somehow blame the whole thing on President Trump, and convince our light thinkers that his administration is doing not enough while leaving the whole country vulnerable to…

  • Democracy Destroys the Electoral College

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 February 2020.  An edited version of this was published in the 7mar20 Union (here).] The nation’s Left is again demanding that the country should give up its republican roots and become a democracy – something which our Founders warned us…

  • Ruminations – 16feb20 (updated 20feb20)

    George Rebane Bernie will force employers to pay disabled workers the going minimum wage in his “disability rights” platform – according to socialist lights, it’s only fair.  No matter that repeal of Sec 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act will no longer induce employers to fashion jobs for which the (mostly mentally) disabled can…

  • Scattershots – 12feb20 (updated 14feb20)

    George Rebane New Dem candidates contest.  I’m considering starting a new contest after the 3mar20 Super-Tuesday to predict/pick the Democratic Party presidential nominee.  The line-up would consist of the 3mar20 surviving candidates and ‘Other’.  Each Friday the contestants, who can enter at any time until 10 July (the last Friday before the Dem convention scheduled…

  • Dropout Derby – 11feb20 (updated)

    George Rebane Competition is getting tough.  The Estonian Fox is soaring, and our dear departed Russ has pulled into second place by nailing Yang’s dropout.  Anyone know what Bennet is still doing in the race?  [Update]  Apparently Bennet couldn’t answer that question either, so he also bailed today.  The updated graphics are below.
