  • The denial of broad-based Muslim sentiment (updated 29nov15)

    George Rebane There is a politically dominant and longstanding narrative by the Left in America (and Europe) that the overwhelming fraction of the world’s Muslims have no intrinsic hatred of the west and America.  In the aggregate these Muslims are supposed to be peaceful and quite sanguine about the west, and they have no sympathy…

  • The Union leans Left

    George Rebane RR has long argued and demonstrated that the local Left is terribly out of touch with important happenings here and elsewhere.  One of their constant complaints is that The Union is so far biased to the Right in its editorial stance that it should be renamed The Tea Party Gazette.  Nothing could be…

  • Unperturbed, Obama stays the course

    George Rebane We woke up to President Obama’s news conference from the G20 meeting in Turkey.  Since last Friday’s Paris attacks the calls have intensified for our Community Organizer to face the reality of radical Islam expanding (see also ‘Wake up, Mr President’).  At the news conference even lamestream reporters were asking the president pointed…

  • Progressives et al on ISIS et al

    "… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."  Sun Tzu George Rebane It’s now hard to figure out whether Sanders and O’Malley are Hillary’s stooges or, more generously, her shills.  Last night’s Democratic debate firmly tossed their supposed contest for the nomination into that corner. …

  • Scattershots – 11nov15 (updated 14nov15)

    George Rebane Today is Veterans’ Day, a national holiday with a bit of a convoluted history (here).  It started out as Armistice Day to honor those who served and fell in WW1.  Then through a series of congressional acts starting in 1954 it became a day to honor all veterans who served in the nation’s…

  • On the way to our Uncommon Core

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 November 2015.] America’s K-12 education has suffered hard times for over forty years.  Tons of money have been blown into the winds, and all kinds of state and federal programs have been tried to improve the amount our kids learn and…

  • Ruminations – 4nov15 (updated 9nov15)

    "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." – Mark Twain George Rebane NPR reported this morning that conservatives across the country had a great night celebrating Republican and Tea Party victories in yesterday’s elections.  Meanwhile, the know-nothing local Left continues its happy dancing that everything to the right of socialism is doomed, and…

  • Ruminations – 28oct15 (updated 31oct15)

    George Rebane The assumed level of perceived risk in competitive markets is constant.  When governments alleviate known risks, added unknown risks will be assumed to maintain the balance – profit demands it. Obama’s economy continues to scoot along on its butt.  Seven years on and we have finally achieved the steady state snail-paced GDP and…

  • ‘What has Hillary Clinton accomplished?’

    George Rebane From one of their own kind we now have the definitive record of candidate and former SecState Hillary Rodham Clinton’s accomplishments.  Her record has been a longstanding and recently growing concern across the nation as it becomes more clear by the day that she will be anointed as the Democrats' nominee for the country’s next…
