  • ‘The Russians did it.’ (updated 9jan17)

    George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • Islamophobia Explained

    George Rebane By all accounts according to the progressives’ definition I am an islamophobe.  My apprehension of Islam’s colonization and eventual conquest of the west has been well documented in these pages.  The ill-read and uneducated leftwingers have taken such apprehensions to be the outrageous screeds of a minority back country white knuckledraggers.  It is hard…

  • Large Area Surveillance and Suppression System (updated 22dec16)

    Feedback is the virtue that turns democracy with all its vices, into the least-worst political system.  (And) feedback is turning the incalculable Trump into a tractable, potentially successful president.  Holman W. Jenkins Jr. George Rebane The latest Muslim terrorist attacks in European cities continue to change the cultural landscape of western civilization.  Ground level attacks…

  • Sandbox – 17dec16

    [As the predictable was predicted, the world’s bad guys are having their last 'way' with our globally recognized weak and incompetent outgoing president.  Brazenly taking our submersible was just the most recent case of incoming international insults.  Few note that the Chinese didn’t even need to steal the ‘drone’, for stealing means to take something surreptitiously…

  • Politically Correct Education – the envelope please (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 December 2016.  The addendum contains graphics and links relevant to the arguments of the commentary.] It is again time to take a look at how America’s future is shaping up with respect to the most important measure available – the…

  • Election 2016 Fallout

    [Mr Norm Sauer is a retired attorney, member of The Union Editorial Board, and a regular columnist for the newspaper.  He submitted the following article to RR and The Union which also published it today (here).  In this piece Mr Sauer reflects on the election's aftermath and its portents; it is posted as received.  gjr]…

  • Working for a post-American future

    George Rebane Recent email revelations have put paid on the longheld conclusion that America’s Left is actively working to take us into a post-American future.  This view is underwritten by most on the Right and many on the Left.  The entire proposition is wrapped up in the widely accepted notion of an evolving America.  Currently…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 27oct16 (updated 29oct16)

    George Rebane While I’m working on a piece to again attempt – more graphically this time – to explain the fragility of highly categorized poll results, the news of the election’s uncertain outcome pours in.  Readers should take special note of the financial markets in which the big kids such as the very wealthy, institutional…

  • The STS Crisis??! WTF!

    George Rebane The progressive plague is well on its way into the STEM fields, seeking to put their moralizing stamp on what our STEM workers should (and ultimately can) think about and work on.  The same progressive pinheads have finally concluded that the discoveries of science and the developments of engineering are not ‘value neutral’…

  • Our Pernicious Progressive Press

    George Rebane ‘The Press Buries Clinton’s Sins’ writes WSJ’s Kim Strassel as she outlines the overwhelmingly one-sided reporting “as reporters focus on Trump, the miss new details on Clinton’s rotten record.”  By “miss” she means pernicious failure to report the daily mounting evidence that defines the public record of Hillary’s actions, actions which for others…
