  • Kavanaugh’s Threat to Civilization

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 July 2018.] President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the prestigious DC Circuit Court of Appeals to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.  Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most distinguished jurists in America with an impeccable resume and over…

  • Trump’s Trade War

    George Rebane Unless President Trump has something up his sleeve on the outcome of the current tariff tussle and ensuing trade war, I think our fearless leader is making a big mistake in imposing tariffs – and doubly so for “national security” purposes.  Perhaps this ol’ noggin’ can’t figure out this global art of the…

  • Our Little Corner of the Confused

    George Rebane Today’s (9jul18) Union highlights the impact of our county’s left turn with some choice letters to the newspaper and a confusing column on the First Amendment.  Usually the Union has better material to publish on their op-ed pages, but occasionally they must run into a dry spell and use it in fairness to…

  • Scattershots – 6jul18 (updated 8jul18)

    A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves. – Bertrand De Jouvenel George Rebane Liberal logic juries.  Reviewing some of the ‘Russian interference’ comment streams to confirm the kind of logic our leftwing readers accept and present as evidence that Russia did indeed throw the 2016 election to assure Trump’s victory,…

  • Ruminations – 26jun18 (updated 28jun18)

    Maxine Waters (D-CA) is a crook and certifiable idiot, and the best thing that has happened to Republicans in a long time – she’s a gift that keeps giving.  Her latest call for alt-Left hoodlums to physically confront, in public or at their residences, people who either work in the administration or are on record…

  • The Diaspora of Dumbth in America

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Nothing in recent memory highlights the dumbing of the American mind like today’s hysteria about separating kids from adults (parents or coyotes) who criminally enter the United States.  Led by the Left, our news media, both lamestream and conservative,…

  • The Existential Abrogation of Sovereignty

    George Rebane Across this land we are debating the wrong thing.  There is no contention about separating kids from parents.  No one want to do that gratuitously.  But as a society, we do it when we must.  And we do it daily with American kids by the thousands when their parents are jailed or otherwise…

  • Separating kids from parents

    George Rebane Now that the just released IG report about Russian collusion and Hillary’s emails took the wind out of Democrats’ sail, their next bag of hot air is blowing across the land from a timely pivot to blaming the Trump administration for separating illegal alien kids snuck over the border by their illegal alien…

  • Scattershots – 13jun18 (updated 14jun18)

    George Rebane Cal-3 is going to be on the November ballot. WaPo reports that “On Tuesday, the California secretary of state confirmed in a memo that Draper’s Cal-3 campaign attained enough valid signatures to earn a spot on the ballot Nov. 6. After more than 150 years of failed partition proposals, California voters will finally go to…

  • Monopsony and the travails of capitalism (updated)

    George Rebane Monopsony – the market condition that exists when there is one buyer. Nobody has said that capitalism is the perfect way to organize society and commerce; it has just beat the bejeezus out competitors since King Louis XVI lost his head in 1793.  But capitalism does have its inevitable warts.  I was reminded…
