  • “… A Cancer on Our Nation”

    George Rebane So writes conservative commentator Erick Erickson (here) in a piece in which he dissects Obama’s 6dec15 lecture from the Oval Office (more here)  We watched it with friends last night, hoping against hope from our President for an epiphany of situational awareness and national leadership – nothing. As he droned on, his words (here) ranged…

  • Taqiya on Steroids? (updated 4dec15)

    George Rebane The San Bernardino massacre investigation continues.  Given the evidence to date, the authorities still cannot decide whether it was just ‘workplace violence’ or the latest attack by Islamic terrorists.  What is reported by the news services – Associated Press, WSJ, … – is pretty compelling (more here).  We do know that – 1. The…

  • The Other Paris Tragedy (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the linked and addended transcript to my regular KVMR commentary which will be broadcast after the evening news on Monday 23 November 2015.  Appended is a graphic detailing the chain (thick red arrows) of valid propositions forming a sane preamble for making preventable global warming public policies.  There is little hope that…

  • Progressives et al on ISIS et al

    "… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."  Sun Tzu George Rebane It’s now hard to figure out whether Sanders and O’Malley are Hillary’s stooges or, more generously, her shills.  Last night’s Democratic debate firmly tossed their supposed contest for the nomination into that corner. …

  • Scattershots – 11nov15 (updated 14nov15)

    George Rebane Today is Veterans’ Day, a national holiday with a bit of a convoluted history (here).  It started out as Armistice Day to honor those who served and fell in WW1.  Then through a series of congressional acts starting in 1954 it became a day to honor all veterans who served in the nation’s…

  • Frank Pinney on Preventable Global Warming

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr Frank Pinney for placing a full page ‘Paid Advertisement’ essay on the PGW hoax in the 9nov15 Union.  He summarizes in one place extensive data and information (covered here and on other regional blogs over the years) into one piece that also has a distinctly local flavor to it.  Its appearance now is timely due to the…

  • Ruminations – 4nov15 (updated 9nov15)

    "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." – Mark Twain George Rebane NPR reported this morning that conservatives across the country had a great night celebrating Republican and Tea Party victories in yesterday’s elections.  Meanwhile, the know-nothing local Left continues its happy dancing that everything to the right of socialism is doomed, and…

  • Back to Fort Sill in place and time

    George Rebane We got home yesterday afternoon from a visit to Ft Sill, OK and Denver, CO, a trip that also let us catch up with a lot of what’s happening in the country.  Ft Sill is the world’s preeminent artillery development and training center.  If you are an American cannon cocker or tactical missile…

  • Obama shoots from the lip on Roseburg (updated 6oct15)

    George Rebane Predictably Barack Hussein Obama voiced his conclusions and exhortations for gun control before the Roseburg bodies had cooled, the wounded were out of surgery, and any relevant information about the shooter and the shootings had been released by the police – anything to take people’s minds off his debacles in Syria, Iraq, and…

  • The Left’s Climate Scientists on Parade (updated 11sep15)

    George Rebane It is clear the Left’s “climate scientists” can be anyone with the politically correct attitude toward AGW.  It is a different matter for the AGW skeptics, their bona fides must include a degree in climatology for openers, else they are dismissed as not qualified to speak on the issue of anthropogenic global warming. …
