Category: Great Divide

  • What the Kavanaugh Confirmation has Really Confirmed (updated 7oct18)

    George Rebane By the slimmest margin, this morning the Senate voted cloture – to restrict remaining debate on the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh before the vote to confirm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  Odds are that by this time tomorrow Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed as the newest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Here and…

  • An evening with Victor Davis Hanson (updated 10oct18)

    George Rebane Last Saturday evening we loaded some friends in the car and headed for the Grand Sheraton in Sacramento to attend a fundraiser for Congressman Tom McClintock.  We’ve known Tom for years and continue to support him in our neighboring congressional district.  The evening featured a talk and Q&A with Victor Davis Hanson.  Professor…

  • Mine eyes have seen the gory … (updated 21sep18)

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Mr Seeman, my sixth-grade teacher at Ben Davis Elementary School in Indianapolis, motivated his class to take an interest in the 1952 election pitting Eisenhower against Stevenson for president.  He did this by promising to vote for the candidate…

  • Quo Vadis Democrats? (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane It turns out that my ongoing assessments of our Great Divide have been in error – the gulf between America’s Left and Right is significantly wider than what I have been reporting.  This latest epiphany came to me as I was perusing ‘Another Day of Conflicting Realities’, Bob Crabb’s latest post and comment…

  • Today’s Employment and Entrepreneurship

    George Rebane So here’s the drill.  In our risibly insane land we have the following three factors in some kind of convoluted and crazy collision when it comes to work and making workplaces. In today’s economy unfilled jobs abound by the millions.  Construction jobs not requiring a college education are near the top of the…

  • 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,…

  • Scattershots – 29may18 (updated)

    George Rebane The Great Divide debate continues as muddled as ever.  We refer to leftwing commenter jon smith’s 134pm re my 1104am in the 26may18 Sandbox.  The man(?) is apparently not aware of the years-long Great Divide debate in these pages and in the national dialogue (also referenced here, see RR’s ‘Great Divide’ category).  In…

  • Ruminations – 27feb18 (updated 3mar18)

    ‘Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.’ Anonymous George Rebane The Democratic Party’s sharp move to the left during the last ten years is now visible to all save only the most politically myopic among us.  Daily dunnings of fellow Democrats (especially in California)…

  • Deep State’s Rogue Roots (3feb18 update)

    George Rebane In a republic the only government oversight the people have is through their elected representatives, and that is necessarily political. The 2feb18 release of the Nunes memo underscores a serious concern that has arisen among most Americans since the Obama era national elections, and now heightened by the suspicious goings on during and…

  • ‘Truth Decay’ (updated 23jan18)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 January 2018.  A slightly edited version of the broadcast commentary appears here in the 20jan18 Union.] We are now such a tragically polarized nation that almost all of us believe we are being misled through the various media.  We believe…
