  • 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…

  • ‘Immigration in 1958 vs. 2016’

    [Under the same title this piece by Ms Annamaria Sauer was published in the 8oct16 edition of The Union.  Ms Sauer emailed the article and at her request it is happily posted here as received.  The Sauers are friends, and as an ethnic Estonian I share an ancient relationship with Annamaria the ethnic Hungarian for…

  • Never Forget (updated)

    We must never forget that 9/11 was NOT a natural disaster. [update] This morning I am sickened and saddened at our national observances of the 9/11 Islamic terror attacks and their reports in the lamestream media.  Examining the public remarks of leaders like President Obama and reports by Associated Press et al, they come across…

  • Ruminations – 6sep16 (updated 10sep16)

    George Rebane Windpower works when energy markets are deregulated.  Texas continues to make news. “The roots of Texas’ renewables boom go back to 1999, when then-Gov. George W. Bush and a Republican-dominated legislature overhauled the Texas power market. The free market-oriented deregulation broke the grip of most monopoly utilities that controlled generation, transmission and retail…

  • ‘Misreading the Nordic Model’

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 31 August 2016.] For quite some time now Americans have heard the siren song of Nordic socialism performed consistently by our country’s Left from which more and more are actually outing themselves as socialists.  In this election season we have heard…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 13aug16

    George Rebane Democracies are stable only to the extent that they enjoy a cohesive ideological spectrum and in which questions are decided with close votes.  In such jurisdictions the alternatives decided are not inimical to each other, and everyone knows their vote on the matter counts.  In lopsided democracies the minority’s vote no longer counts, which then…

  • Wages by Fiat

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 August 2016.] Liberal economist Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton maintains that 'Only (Hillary Clinton) Can Make Wages Grow Again', and then launches into a lecture on how economic policies by government fiat will outperform the market driven nostrums advanced by Donald…

  • Ruminations – 27jul16 (updated 3aug16)

    “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”  Confucius George Rebane Since Turkey’s Erdogan most recently explained to the world of infidels – “Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers.  Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” – more and more articles now appear expanding on that truth…

  • Independence Day Weekend Thoughts (updated 3jul16)

    George Rebane This will be America’s 240th birthday celebration observed by divers cohorts of “real live nephews of our Uncle Sam” not all of whom wish him a long life.  Our divisions today are at least as great as those which gave rise to the South’s War for Independence – aka the Civil War.  Americans…

  • Scattershots – 29jun16 (updated 1jul16)

    George Rebane The AGW hysteria has become very hard to maintain in circles that still participate in scientific debate and within the public forum that follows such debate.  The hysteria is unaffected by such debate within the community of grant-funded scientists and their political sponsors (wherein the 'debate is over'), and of course their double dummy…
