  • Scattershots – 18may19

    George Rebane Freedom and equality have never been bedfellows – naturally enabled inequality in all dimensions is the litmus test for a free society. ‘The Myth of Wage Stagnation’ is explained by Phil Gramm and John Early.  Dr Gramm is an economist and the former chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Dr John Early is…

  • Alabama Abortion Law

    George Rebane OK, here’s the drill.  The Left opposes the recent Alabama law that is being replicated in its essential elements by a growing number of heartland states.  The crux of the opposition is preserving the mental health of the mother, not her physiological health or other factors about which most on both sides agree. …

  • Trump’s Immigration Policy

    George Rebane Our current immigration policy, such as it is, hails and invites illegal entry from distant lands, favors meritless chain migration without end, and offers entry to only one of eight immigrants who have skillsets that would make them productive members of our workforce.  Additionally, its proponents seek every opportunity to provide amnesty and…

  • Ruminations – 10may19 (updated 13may19)

    George Rebane Global warming warmongers like to ‘prove’ their calamitous climate change prognostications by citing the increasing dollar costs and casualties caused by natural disasters such as winds, floods, and fires.  They count on their claims being consumed without question by constituents not able to discover that such statistics are due to greater numbers of…

  • Scattershots – 6may19 (updated 9may19)

    It is the ultimate fantasy that we can live our lives, or at any rate live them in peace and contentment with each other, without ever having to share a common reality. – James Bowman George Rebane An example of fake news.  Apple News is a very comprehensive news website for Mac, iPad, and iPhone…

  • Scattershots – 26apr19 (updated 27apr19)

    George Rebane The 17apr19 Scattershots got a bit too long with items that are hard to see below the page break, so let’s start another one.  BTW, I want to thank the thousands of RR readers and its group of stalwart commenters of all ideological hues.  We are now in our thirteenth year, and to…

  • Post-citizenship America (updated 28apr19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 24 April 2019.  A slightly edited version also appears in the 27apr19 issue of The Union.] Perhaps no recent issue of national contention illustrates the differences of how our two polarized sides see the future direction of America than does the…

  • Scattershots – 24apr19 (updated 25apr19)

    George Rebane We’ve all seen countless thrillers from Hollywood in which the plot line has a department or agency of Big Government that has gone rogue, and threatens to bring down the country or even the world.  And against great odds our hero/heroine manages to overcome them and triumph.  These movies are made by leftwingers…

  • Civilian Militia Detains Illegals at Border

    George Rebane News reports tell of a civilian militia in New Mexico’s border region apprehending aliens who had just illegally crossed over from Mexico (here).  The authorities were called and the 300+ illegals were detained until the Border Patrol arrived to arrest and take custody of the aliens.  Such militias have operated in previous years…

  • The Mueller Report – some early takes (updated 20apr19)

    George Rebane The long-awaited report from special counsel Robert Mueller has turned out to be a disappointment on all counts to all sides.  The following summarize my initial take on it. From a legal perspective, the report is an iconic nothing-burger. A 400-page embarrassment that documents the failure to conclude anything definite about the commissioned…
