Category: Great Divide

  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
