  • The Migration Mess (updated 28oct18)

    George Rebane [This is the updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 24 October 2018.] A recently updated dictionary defines ‘migration’ as the “movement of people to a new area or country in order to find work or better living conditions.”  And not by accident, this sounds like something all good-hearted people should…

  • Climate Change Revisited

    George Rebane ‘Climate change’ is one of the unfortunate labels that a nation dominated by dumbth uses to simplify and therefore profoundly misunderstand a very complex process that is made even more confusing through the injection and overarch of political ideologies.  The hoi polloi are salved and saved from all this confounding by being taught…

  • Fascism – what it is and isn’t (addended)

    George Rebane Since the Democratic Party’s great Leftward Lurch, it is now publicly and unabashedly America’s new socialist party, notwithstanding start-up wannabes like the newly formed Progressive Party USA.  The Left’s problem today is how they must carefully wend their way through a potential political minefield in how they describe their brand of collectivism –…

  • Poverty, Transfer Payments, and GNI, oh my!

    George Rebane Abetted by progressive propaganda, the UN has found “shocking” evidence that 40M Americans live in “squalor and deprivation”, which comes to about 12.7% of our population.  The trouble with that piece of fiction is that none of the millions seeking entry into the US by hook or crook believe that bullcrap.  As we…

  • Yellowstone Supervolcano about to blow?

    George Rebane [This little interlude will most likely interest very few RR readers, but it has provided me a respite from the political struggles through my continuing love-affair with pushing squigglies.  Truth be told, I do this kind of stuff quite often, and who knows, there’s always the off-chance that some reader may show interest.]…

  • American Retreat

    George Rebane Robert Kagan is a historian and political scientist with an endowed fellowship at the Brookings Institute.  He perches a bit left of center from where he has been a foreign policy adviser to both Republican and Democratic presidents.  Dinesh D’Souza is a conservative political commentator, author, and filmmaker formerly associated with the Heritage…

  • Ruminations – 25aug18 (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane That Lady Justice today only wears a patch over one eye is apparent to at least half the country.  Mueller’s ongoing investigation, along with the FBI et al investigations that preceded it, gives clear and compelling evidence to the bloom of corruption that has compromised our justice system over the last decade.  Kim…

  • Cato on Immigration and Open Borders (updated 3aug18)

    If Democrats don't want foreigners involved in our elections, why do they think it's OK for illegals to vote? George Rebane The Cato Institute is the nation’s foremost libertarian thinktank.  It has a long record of publishing well thought out and researched policy analyses which it freely makes available on its website.  I have now…

  • Trump’s Trade Wars Triumphant?

    George Rebane In my 10jul18 ‘Trump’s Trade War’ I opened with the puzzlement that most of his supporters have had lately about the tariffs that he has initiated – “Unless President Trump has something up his sleeve on the outcome of the current tariff tussle and ensuing trade war, I think our fearless leader is…

  • How many people do we really need?

    George Rebane [Apologies for the ragged composition of this commentary.  I thought it important enough to get it into the RR record, and invite comments/debate by those who care to consider something beyond current events.] How many people are necessary for humans as a species to improve its aggregate quality of life and continue reaching…
