  • Ruminations – 12jul18

    Intellectual ostracism – the refusal to engage with a person or people who cannot rise to minimum standards of rationality. (Stefan Molyneux in The Art of the Argument – Western Civilization’s Last Stand, 2017) George Rebane Dems’ final solution for ‘immigration’.  Given our inundation of illegal aliens from the south, the Dems may yet have…

  • Media Bias

    George Rebane First, H/T to Bob Crabb where I first saw this graphic of ‘media bias’ before going to another site to filch a good copy of it.  Now I have several problems with where some outlets are placed on this chart, but I’ll keep them to myself until readers have had a chance to…

  • Ruminations – 22jun18 (updated 24jun18)

    George Rebane Dr Charles Krauthammer (1950-2018).  This man was an intellectual staple in our house for at least twenty years, and his most recent stint on Fox News brought him to our dinner table on an almost daily basis.  His towering intellect, expansive knowledge base, exquisite reasoning, and gentle, often self-effacing humor made him a…

  • Our Declining IQ Numbers

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 June 2018.] Listeners to these commentaries over the years have heard me report on the advance of America’s national dumbth – a term coined by the late Steve Allen to describe the overall state of our understanding, interests, and intellectual acumen. …

  • 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. …
