  • Ferguson Wrap-up (8dec14 update)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 December 2014.] I intended this to be a wrap-up on the Ferguson riots, but sadly there is no wrap possible, because Ferguson is just the latest chapter in the marathon effort to fundamentally transform America.  So all we can do…

  • Scattershots – 26nov14

    George Rebane Schumer’s post-election epiphany.  My comment yesterday on Senator Schumer’s belated insights on Obamacare is being echoed today in various national media outlets that have added some revealing detail.  Besides the senator from New York admitting that “the law has been disastrous for Democrats”, he now, yes now, acknowledges what the rest of us…

  • It’s not the lack of paperwork (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane We’re back in illegal alien season again.  The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as ‘undocumented immigrants’.  This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before…

  • Ruminations – 21nov14 (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane Retired lawyer and Union editorial board member Norm Sauer wrote another letter to the editor yesterday (here) about crime rates and gun ownership that predictably tied some undies of the looney Left in knots.  A correspondent advised me that this caused one of these worthies, a critic and former employee of the newspaper, to even…

  • Bad News Presidency Continues

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast of 19 November 2014.] Last night, after six years of delays, Dirty Harry finally brought the Keystone XL pipeline vote to the floor of the Senate where it failed to pass by one vote.  This vote has been put off for more hokey…

  • Ruminations – 9nov14 (updated 12nov14)

    George Rebane The Berlin Wall came down 25 years ago today.  Many people are celebrating that milestone in human history, but Vladimir Putin rues the day as the beginning of greatest human tragedy of the 20th century which ended the horrors of the USSR and its spreading of international communism.  As a young lieutenant stationed…

  • Election 2014 – what it was and wasn’t

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript to my regular KVMR commentary aired on 5 November 2014.] As someone once said, elections have consequences.  And today this makes possible several different ways forward that can slow the surge toward socialism we have endured since Democrats took over Congress in 2006.  President Obama nailed it this…

  • Election 2014 (updated 5nov14)

    George Rebane Government does best to grow the economy when government does least to grow the economy. The election is shaping up to be a testimony to national polarization like we haven’t seen since Civil War days.  Some interesting points to consider – 1. Voter ID debacle that continues to be the main dog whistle to the…

  • Ruminations – 1nov14 (updated 3nov14)

    George Rebane Free speech again on the progressives’ chopping block.  The Left is ever busy to squelch the First Amendment in America since they have no counterarguments against liberty, constitutionalism, fiscal prudency, constitutionalism, etc that can stand in a forum of the even mildly read voter.  Their solution du jour is to start branding anti-Left…

  • Scattershots – 25oct14 (updated 27oct14)

    George Rebane Conservative intellect and commentator Dinesh D’Souza was convicted of a campaign violation that is laughably minor compared to ones that have been committed more numerously by liberals in similar circumstances.  Predictably, the liberals have had their wrists slapped and continued with business as usual.  D’Souza instead faced jail time and was sentenced to…
