  • Ruminations – 15jun2018 (updated 20jun18)

    George Rebane Headline, ‘Growth in US Leaves World Behind’ while the ECB continues to keep the ‘fragile economies’ of the EU on crutches with low interest rates.  Wonder why our lamestream considers this too insignificant to report?  One might almost think that they're afraid people will credit President Trump with some of this good news.…

  • ‘Climate Change Has Run Its Course’

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 6 June 2018.] Steven Hayward of UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies has put down some observations about climate change (here) that summarize what millions around the world acknowledge daily – namely that “climate change is no longer a pre-eminent policy issue.…

  • Ruminations – 30may18 (updated 5jun18)

    George Rebane Politically incorrect and nationally syndicated economist Dr Walter Williams offers his thoughts on ‘Why Capitalism is Morally Superior to Socialism’.  The short essay is worth a read, as are some of its leftwing comments.  The US poverty level has been a political football for years.  The Left keeps upping it regularly in order…

  • Scattershots – 25may18 (updated 27may18)

    George Rebane Legal CCW guns continue to save lives.  The recent spate of shootings again demonstrates that only a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun – everything else is progressive blather.  A reader’s comment highlights the FBI’s recently released ‘Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2016 and…

  • Criminal Uses of Drones & AI

    George Rebane It didn’t take long for criminals and terrorists to start using affordable, commercially available drones for surveillance and even weaponized munitions delivery platforms on the battlefield.  Terrorists routinely launch their own eyes in the sky when being attacked by the militaries of countries seeking to destroy them.  In the US drones have already…

  • Climate Industry’s Shameful Science

    George Rebane A correspondent alerted me to an important new report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation titled ‘Global Warming – A Case Study in Groupthink’ by Christopher Booker.  This extensive report examines the now institutionalized global hysteria embracing the belief that humanity is in the grip of catastrophic yet heroically preventable manmade global warming. …

  • Trump and the Ugly Fat Kid

    George Rebane There’s more to be said about President Trump’s anticipated meeting with NK’s Ugly Fat Kid (aka Kim Jong Un), the murderous dictator who today runs the world’s largest forced labor camp in the world.  That Trump got the UFK off the dime and issue an invitation is laudable in itself, and has really…

  • Healthcare Apples, Oranges, and Fruitcakes

    George Rebane The perennial healthcare debate didn’t get any more clear with the latest release of US life expectancy data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the British Medical Journal.  Our life expectancy is 1.5 years lower than the average in OECD countries, and it decreased by another 0.1 year to 78.6…

  • On Immigration and ‘S#!thole Countries’ (updated 13jan18)

    George Rebane No matter what he actually said in that White House meeting on immigration policy, President Trump has again focused a policy discussion on a crux of the matter instead of continuing the same ol’ same ol’ circling of the barn.  I don’t want to debate whether he actually said “shithole country” as the…

  • America’s Checkpoints

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 January 2018.] Before we get into the more serious part of the commentary, I want to wish all KVMR listeners a healthy and prosperous 2018.  We all know it will be another extraordinary year no matter what your political outlook…
