Category: Great Divide

  • Scattershots – 29mar17 (updated 30mar17)

    George Rebane “America is more divided politically, demographically, and geographically than at any time in recent history”, so argues demographer William Frey from newly released US Census data in a report from the left-leaning Brookings Institute (here).  The overwhelming evidence for the Great Divide just continues to pour in from all sides.  The American Left…

  • AI, Education, and Immigration (Updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Recently the new SecTreas Steve Mnuchin was quoted (here) to claim that the acceleration of technology, specifically the advent of smart machines, would have no or minimal effect on US employment.  The overwhelming evidence that inundates us daily (e.g. recently here and here) leads one to conclude exactly the opposite.  Warning of the…

  • Scattershots – 11mar2017 (updated 14mar17)

    Of all the Trump conundra, "for now, only one thing remains certain: the candidate whom the Republican establishment most disliked has the greatest potential in a generation to stop the progressive project and enact the agendas that the Republican establishment most wants. And that paradox has become a source of both great wonderment—and fear." Victor…

  • Hatred Institutionalized

    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…

  • Bipartisanship RIP (updated 7mar17)

    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…

  • Where Now Democrats? (updated 10feb17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 February 2017.] A lot has happened on both sides of the aisle in the last couple of weeks.  President Trump is off to a determined if not bumpy start to deliver on his campaign promises, and the Democrats …?  Well,…

  • Exactly how did the Russkies do it??

    George Rebane Well now that Congressman John Lewis has declared the Trump presidency “illegitimate”, that icon of civil rights and registration-free voting has attracted more Democrat politicians to join him on the leftwing’s bandwagon to oppose our new president.  Lewis’ contention is that the election is illegitimate due to Russia’s “conspiracy” to oppose Clinton, thereby…

  • Our Socialists Are Pissed

    George Rebane The ground shaking shock of 8 November 2016 is not going away; it is getting stronger if anything.  And as Team Trump unveils more of its projected policies and planned programs, America’s socialists along with their well-placed elites are getting more and more scared.  Why?  Because with each described initiative it looks like…

  • The National Pipeline Lie (updated 10dec16)

    George Rebane As we observe the 75th anniversary of ‘The day that will live in infamy’, it is good to reflect on what brought about that day, and several such days since then.  Traditionally isolationists in the early 20th century years, we were told that WW1 was the war to end all wars.  Most people…

  • Progressives Partying on a Pimple

    George Rebane ‘YES, California!’ draws more than a smile from some of us longtime prescients who witness the ongoing dissolution of the America our forebears and we have labored to build.  In these pages and on some other commentariats this has been labeled as the coming Great Divide.  There is no agreement in which of…
