  • So where now?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 23 November 2016.] So where are we going now?  We have a new president-elect voted in by Americans living across the vast expanse of our continent, people who dwell mostly in the smaller cities and towns, people who work the land, people…

  • Living in Colonial America

    George Rebane The land that you live on matters.  Our Founders and their neighbors knew that, and when they lost control of their lives and livelihoods to a distant power, they separated their homelands from foreign control so that they could again determine the common course of their own lives, families, and enterprises.  Today America…

  • Trump’s Tentative Triumph (updated 10nov16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary to be broadcast tonight.  I am posting it early due to the heavy reader interest and related comments pertaining to yesterday’s election.] Early this morning columnist David Brooks, NYT’s futile nod to political balance, opined that Trump’s victory was made possible by Americans…

  • In the Wake of the Great Divider

    George Rebane The collectivist of whatever hue avoids reasoned debate wherever he encounters it because he quickly finds that his cherished arguments are but baseless slogans that will not even support a conversation thread let alone serve as a riposte to reason.  Moreover, he also discovers that attempts to seek refuge in history, science, or economics…

  • Ideological Images

    George Rebane The chasm that divides today’s Left and Right has many facets, some of which can be illustrated graphically.  It is not clear that a progressive will understand the images shown below.

  • Independence Day Weekend Thoughts (updated 3jul16)

    George Rebane This will be America’s 240th birthday celebration observed by divers cohorts of “real live nephews of our Uncle Sam” not all of whom wish him a long life.  Our divisions today are at least as great as those which gave rise to the South’s War for Independence – aka the Civil War.  Americans…

  • Scattershots – 29jun16 (updated 1jul16)

    George Rebane The AGW hysteria has become very hard to maintain in circles that still participate in scientific debate and within the public forum that follows such debate.  The hysteria is unaffected by such debate within the community of grant-funded scientists and their political sponsors (wherein the 'debate is over'), and of course their double dummy…

  • Brexit Ripples

    George Rebane The ripples from Brexit will travel far and wide, and in their turn give rise to more of what happened in the UK.  Brexit and its aftermath will once again confirm what we have here argued for years – people want to live where their culture is dominant and celebrate the self-determination to…

  • Comey willing, we’ll have The Donald vs Hillary

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 May 2016.  See also notice of another upcoming KVMR community affairs broadcast.] Last night in Indiana Trump got more than 53% of the Republican vote, again handily beating Cruz and Kasich both of whom have ended their campaigns.  But on the…

  • Ruminations – 3may16 (updated)

    Not the village constable.  There are men of evil mind, who would make of everything a crime, and not because of passion, but just naturally.  They condemn everybody, some for what they have done, and others for what they may do. …  Gracian #109 George Rebane It was 13 years ago today that we moved…
