  • Khashoggi affair resolved

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 November 2018.] President Trump announced yesterday that the US would not pursue the Khashoggi murder by Saudi government agents.  The president’s reasoning was clear and eminently rational.  As anticipated, our leftwing received it with howls of disapproval that accused the…

  • Monday with The Union

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I very much enjoy reading The Union – our town’s newspaper.  (This pleasure preceded her joining the paper’s editorial board.)  I am particularly entertained by George Boardman’s columns, and the regularly occasioned other voices from locals with academic credentials like Dr Milan Vodicka.  Dr Vodicka is a longtime Nevada County…

  • California Wildfires – Some Reflections

    The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.  Isaac Asimov George Rebane The combined body count of the Camp and Woolsey Canyon fires has topped 100 with an additional 1,000 missing.  Perusing the lamestream media without second thought, one comes away with the understanding that, at…

  • ‘A Short History of American Medical Insurance’ (Addended)

    George Rebane If there is a problem in the land, consider government guilty of its cause until proven innocent. And that RR tagline applies doubly to the current cost of healthcare in America.  A short history of how we achieved healthcare costs that rank highest as a percentage of GDP is provided (here) by John…

  • The Migration Mess (updated 28oct18)

    George Rebane [This is the updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 24 October 2018.] A recently updated dictionary defines ‘migration’ as the “movement of people to a new area or country in order to find work or better living conditions.”  And not by accident, this sounds like something all good-hearted people should…

  • Sandbox – 19oct18

    [WASHINGTON—President Trump is elevating the issue of immigration, which drove his 2016 campaign, with the aim of animating Republican voters in a midterm election that threatens to derail his agenda if Democrats retake the House.  Mr. Trump’s latest comments came Thursday as he warned about an “onslaught” of migrants reaching the southern U.S. border with Mexico and…

  • Subtle Whims of Change – A Socialist Trifecta

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 10 October 2018.] Things have become very strange and different since Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump.  Of the many outrages the Left has proclaimed since November 2016, the most recent one comes on the heels of the Kavanaugh confirmation from none…

  • Scattershots – 7oct18 (updated 10oct18)

    George Rebane Great Divide pieces are beginning to appear all over the place as a result of what the Left revealed of itself during the Kavanaugh confirmation conflagration.  This alienating trend is some years in development and was picked up early in these pages (much to the denial and denigration of the local know-nothings).  Today…

  • Ruminations – 1oct18 (updated 3oct18)

    George Rebane The Dem scumbags’ last-minute sexual assault case against Judge Kavanaugh has cratered, but having no depth limit to their mores and methods, they are now on a new “temperament” tack, attempting to disqualify him on the basis of “partisan bias” since he had the temerity to defend himself and his family by calling…

  • Escrow the Witch Hunt (updated 29sep18)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 26 September 2018.  It is an augmented version of the previous RR post, ‘Mueller’s “Witch Hunt” Metric’.  An edited version of this commentary was also published in the 29sep18 Union (here).] Even with the ongoing Kavanaugh confirmation hysteria, the Russia collusion…
