  • Iconic Incoherence on ‘Immigration’

    George Rebane That is the best that can be said about ‘Trump’s approach on illegal immigration won’t solve the problem’ by columnist and one of our readers, George Boardman, in the 15apr19 Union.  He blithely blames the whole border security problem on President Trump “who created the current crisis” for political reasons.  Mr Boardman is…

  • Ruminations – 13apr2019 (updated 16apr19)

    George Rebane AG Barr will finally seek to hold the FBI accountable for their Obama era corruptions.  This has the Democrats screeching bloody murder for what they know will be revealed on the road to the 2020 elections.  WSJ’s Kim Strassel lays it all out – ‘Barr Brings Accountability’. California’s critical 4th grade academic rankings…

  • Democrats’ 2020 Platform Previewed

    George Rebane Ever since Trump was elected president and the national Left mobilized their efforts to destroy his administration and unseat him, I’ve been bitching and moaning that the Democrats offered no alternative programs to implement that would “fundamentally transform” America as promised.  Well, the time has come to stop complaining because in recent months…

  • Two Americas – A National Emergency on Steroids (Addended)

    George Rebane A couple of mornings ago NPR’s Morning Edition reported that the illegal entrant rate across our southern border has exceeded over a million per year, and that the border security and illegal alien handling facilities are overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed, the Border Patrol has now abrogated the role of the US Customs and Border Protection…

  • Ruminations – 29mar19 (updated 2apr19)

    George Rebane For our approval poll watchers, Politico counsels a little prudence in that department and not put too much stock into those reports.  “If the election were held today, Mr Trump would likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide.” (emphasis mine) The Democrats’ agenda?  There ain’t none, as I’ve been pointing…

  • Our Road to Venezuela

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 March 2019.] Socialism used to be the third rail of American politics, no more.  A form of governance that requires and ever-larger government to handle the people’s everyday affairs was anathema after WW2, especially with the country having had its brief…

  • Kim Strassel on the Real Scandal (updated 27mar19)

    [“Americans deserve a full accounting of the missteps of Comey and the FBI.”  So argues WSJ’s Washington columnist Kimberley Strassel in the paper’s 25mar19 edition (here).  The real scandal has been a burr under my blanket for a very long time, and I was going to compose some pithy rhetoric on the injustice that has…

  • Ruminations – 23mar19 (updated 25mar19)

    George Rebane Thought I’d try something different on this cloudy and wet Saturday morning.  The Mueller report is in AG Barr’s hands, and from the early assessments it is a nothing burger for the TDS Dems.  If so, they are looking at it merely as a speed bump on the road to Trump’s impeachment, which…

  • NZ Massacre – the Left’s new perfect storm

    “Conservatism is corporatism in disguise.  I want no part of it. … The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China. … Conservatism is dead, thank God.”  Australian Brenton Tarrant, NZ shooter George Rebane The Christchurch massacre has been covered extensively and also received an initial…

  • Scattershots – 18mar19 (updated 21mar19)

    George Rebane Sen Liz Warren wants to reduce the size of big techs.  As we know, big corporations get that way and survive by practicing the fine art of corporatism.  That means essentially working with politicians and bureaucrats to buy competitive advantage through laws, regs, taxation, etc (all the ways that govt mangles markets) in…
