  • Syriza’s lesson for an America in retreat (updated 31jan15)

    George Rebane Over the weekend Greece elected a communist party – working name Syriza – to head its next government.  Syriza promised a bald-faced lie as a solution to the country’s longstanding and deepening economic crisis.  The country is flat broke, produces little that the world wants or can easily get from others, is totally…

  • NC Tea Party Event – Debbie Bacigalupi

    George Rebane Judi Caler of the NCTP asked me to let RR readers know about this 28jan15 event at the NC fairgrounds.  Come and meet the local crowd of the kind of Americans that scares the crap out of the Dept of Homeland Security.  According to Team Obama, these are the real terrorists about whom the country…

  • More Pabulum for the Devoutly Ignorant

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 January 2015.] Last night President Obama gave a well-delivered yet futile State of the Union speech.  It contained a list of shibboleths of the kind that the Democrats have long pilloried congressional Republicans during the last six years.  All of…

  • Things are getting “curiouser and curiouser”

    George Rebane What price glory?  I’ve watched presidential press secretaries for decades pitch with a serious face the world according to their boss.  But something that Josh Earnest, the current Chief Lackey to our twice elected Liar-in-Chief, said rang a special bell.  The whole country is talking about Obama’s prevarication about the ISLAMIST jihad and…

  • Reflections on Islam (updated 12jan15)

    George Rebane The pen is mightier than the sword only to the extent that it can evoke more powerful swords. As millions of others on this planet, my thoughts have turned to Islam and its role in the ongoing global reign of terror exemplified again by the slaughter in Paris last week.  These reflections have…

  • Police and Blacks – numbers that sustain their fears (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 January 2015.] The recent police killings of two black men, and the revenge murders of two NYC police officers highlight legitimate fears that have now been brought to a fever pitch by grandstanding politicians and activist demagogues.  In New York Mayor…

  • Single-Payer Sucks & Federalism Works!

    George Rebane In 2010 socialist Peter Shumlin bamboozled his way into Vermont’s governorship by lying about the benefits of the new single-payer government insurance program that he would launch with a waiver from Obamacare.  Readers will remember that way back then, the dynamic trio of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid all made sure we knew that…

  • The Pyongyang Censors

    George Rebane President Obama correctly chastised Sony for not releasing ‘The Interview’, its comedy critical of the North Korean tyranny and its idiot dictator.  And the FBI has now formally identified North Korea as the hacker that initially embarrassed Sony by releasing its internal memos to the world.  And now it has again embarrassed the…

  • High Tech Quotas (updated 12dec14)

    George Rebane Our high tech industry is literally the last refuge of employment meritocracy, and the increase in our quality of life it has provided is unquestionable.  That may all be coming to an end if our so-called civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson have their way.  You see Jesse and his crew have noticed…

  • Profiling

    George Rebane Today the Justice Department releases new regulatory guidelines on which federal agencies may do profiling and under which circumstances.  The report has been six months in the making and we are told its release in such close proximity to the events in Ferguson and Staten Island is a coincidence.  AG Holder will travel…
