  • The denial of broad-based Muslim sentiment (updated 29nov15)

    George Rebane There is a politically dominant and longstanding narrative by the Left in America (and Europe) that the overwhelming fraction of the world’s Muslims have no intrinsic hatred of the west and America.  In the aggregate these Muslims are supposed to be peaceful and quite sanguine about the west, and they have no sympathy…

  • The Other Paris Tragedy (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the linked and addended transcript to my regular KVMR commentary which will be broadcast after the evening news on Monday 23 November 2015.  Appended is a graphic detailing the chain (thick red arrows) of valid propositions forming a sane preamble for making preventable global warming public policies.  There is little hope that…

  • Unperturbed, Obama stays the course

    George Rebane We woke up to President Obama’s news conference from the G20 meeting in Turkey.  Since last Friday’s Paris attacks the calls have intensified for our Community Organizer to face the reality of radical Islam expanding (see also ‘Wake up, Mr President’).  At the news conference even lamestream reporters were asking the president pointed…

  • Progressives et al on ISIS et al

    "… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."  Sun Tzu George Rebane It’s now hard to figure out whether Sanders and O’Malley are Hillary’s stooges or, more generously, her shills.  Last night’s Democratic debate firmly tossed their supposed contest for the nomination into that corner. …

  • Catalonia yearns for independence

    George Rebane So contrary to the progressives’ push for a global leviathan are the yearnings of uncounted peoples each of whom share a common language, faith, heritage, traditions, and history.  The collectivist mind does not understand that such people above all want self-determination and independence, and a corner of the world in which they can…

  • Frank Pinney on Preventable Global Warming

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr Frank Pinney for placing a full page ‘Paid Advertisement’ essay on the PGW hoax in the 9nov15 Union.  He summarizes in one place extensive data and information (covered here and on other regional blogs over the years) into one piece that also has a distinctly local flavor to it.  Its appearance now is timely due to the…

  • Ruminations – 28oct15 (updated 31oct15)

    George Rebane The assumed level of perceived risk in competitive markets is constant.  When governments alleviate known risks, added unknown risks will be assumed to maintain the balance – profit demands it. Obama’s economy continues to scoot along on its butt.  Seven years on and we have finally achieved the steady state snail-paced GDP and…

  • Mideastern muslim migrants mug Europe (updated 29oct15)

    George Rebane Has anyone noticed that reporting about the migrant onslaught has fallen silent on the key issue that initially gave it a moral and humanitarian dimension.  Europeans of all political stripe were willing to take in a controlled number of refugees fleeing from death and torture that they would most likely suffer were they…

  • Scattershots – 22oct15

    George Rebane Hillary told the House Benghazi hearing that 1) Chris Stevens should have known better than to expect the security he requested, and also that being a diplomat was a dangerous profession; 2) she never saw the Stevens’ urgent security requests – “they didn’t rise to my level”; and 3) as SecState, if she…
