  • George Rebane That our country has passed the tipping point from a democratic republic has been maintained and recorded in these pages for some years now.  Since the election of Donald Trump as our 45th president there has been a sea change in the national regression.  Never before have major national institutions turned so virulently…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 March 2017.] For those who have been paying attention, you know that AI or artificial intelligence will change everything.  And the word here you want to wrap your head around is ‘everything’.  I’m a lifelong professional computer systems geek who…

  • George Rebane This morning NPR again alerted the nation to the manufactured Russian threat, still very much a work in process.  They devoted the major segment of their Morning Edition to “reviewing” Russia’s impact on last year’s election by interviewing two ‘experts’ who turned out to be another pair of pot boiling reporters. We were…

  • George Rebane A couple of days have passed since President Trump’s speech to Congress, so you’d think some of the dust would start to settle – not a chance.  The Left did not hear even a semblance of the speech the rest of us did.   The Alt-Left is now firmly in charge of the Democratic…

  • George Rebane Litmus test for regaining America’s greatness: Sustained GDP growth exceeding 3% per annum. NYT claims “Mr Trump will inherit an economy that is fundamentally solid.”  But that fake news is patent nonsense as these pages have maintained for years, and now Mr Nicholas Eberstadt, political economist at the American Enterprise Institute, will explain…

Refugees “dashing for the border” was last night’s report on Fox News showing illegal aliens trudging through northern New York snow to cross our unfenced border with Canada.  They claim to fear being apprehended by our ICE…

  • George Rebane As members of Congress head home for their scheduled recess this coming week, the hard or Alt-Left is preparing a hot time for all Republicans who plan to hold town hall meetings with their constituents.   These radicalized socialists have gone a long way to organize their more placid yet compliant Democrat cohorts to…

  • George Rebane ‘We are not a democracy’ is again patiently explained by Ms Cindy Hren in today’s Union.  Numerous times in history has the Left led the least-read into social cesspools as they followed banners screaming ‘Democracy Now!’  They know not for what they wish. Climate change hysteria abating?  Am I not monitoring the correct…

  • George Rebane There is a big difference between yearning to be free and yearning to be more regulated; freedom and regulations sit on opposite ends of a seesaw. The one-sided assault on Trump and the Republicans continues to build.  Among the many assymetries are the claims the Russians materially influenced the election in favor of…

  • George Rebane The Alt-Left appears now to have fully commandeered the operations and direction of the Democrat Party (here).  As reported in ‘Where Now Democrats?’ where their how-to manual, based on outright lies about the Tea Party, is their new playbook being exercised across the land.  The recent shoutdowns of Congessmen McClintock (CA) and Chaffetz…
