  • The Spawn of Islam (updated 24mar16)

    ‘There is not a day that goes by without an Islamist attack somewhere.’ George Rebane The war between Islam and western civilization is in full swing, and the west is not winning.  Yesterday’s Brussels attacks again exposed the butt stupid policies of the progressive left governments.  Yet there is beginning to emerge a glimmer of…

  • Freedom in a Cashless Society (updated 4mar16)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 March 2016.] The next thing to become illegal will be our ability to pay for something with cash.  Certain politicians in America are working hard to catch up with their European counterparts in outlawing transactions using that “ancient relic”.  And…

  • Virgin Shortage Stymies Martyrs

    [The following post was received from a RR reader and correspondent who makes it his business to search the globe for relevant reports on raghead doings.  The commentary was attributed to BBC News.  It is posted as received.  gjr] Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a…

  • Progressivism and the Certainty of Ignorance

    George Rebane One of the unambiguous tenets of a conservetarian is that collectivism, in any of its forms, is a gateway to human suffering and eventual tyranny.  Collectivists, under whichever banner they assemble – progressive, liberal, national socialist, international socialist (communist), … – will first seek to silence their foes by whatever means they are…

  • Scattershots – 20feb16 (updated 22feb16)

    George Rebane Consider that it is the progressive college administrators who back public policies that let them raise tuition costs to levels out of reach of the same poor whom they cynically claim to champion. Pope Francis’ latest foray into politics on his Mexican visit includes his now familiar socialist screed of demanding “justice for undocumented…

  • AI masters Go – time to apply brakes? (updated 30jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of days ago Google’s parent Alphabet (actually its DeepMind division) announced that their AlphaGo deep-learned software system has mastered the ancient Chinese board game Go.  This is a very big deal during these pre-Singularity years and marks a milestone toward intellectual peerage with humans.  AlphaGo is not just a souped-up version of…

  • The Pope and the Raghead (updated 28jan16)

    George Rebane A few years back when first I had a chance to see the bragsheet on Pope Francis, I voiced some concerns about his political naiveté. The man seemed to have avoided any education in economics, finance, governance, and what social mechanisms actually generate the wealth that he’s so keen on redistributing.  His speeches…

  • ‘Mother May I’ Defense Policy

    George Rebane Did you know that until today American forces fighting in Afghanistan could not initiate operations against ISIS fighters in that country.  By standing orders from Washington our GIs could only attack Al Qaeda and the Taliban.  ISIS’ presence in Afghanistan has been growing for months, yet we could only shoot at them if…

  • Clashing Cultures Count

    George Rebane We read George Boardman’s 'Nevada County's supervisors cede leadership to sheriff on medical marijuana' in today’s (18jan16) Union on last Tuesday’s BoS MJ prezo by Sheriff Keith Royal et al. Generally it was a good piece, we had some inevitable nits because the changing face of MJ production and consumption in CA is a…

  • Ruminations – 15jan16 (updated 16jan16)

    George Rebane Former AG Mukasey on MSNBC drew our attention to certain paragraphs of US Code, Title 18. Section 2071. a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other…
