  • Why wouldn’t China …?

    George Rebane It occurred to me that given China’s expressed geo-strategic goals and its relationship with the US, were I in charge of China’s foreign policy, why wouldn’t I want to fund every progressive cause and liberal politician at work in America.  Doing so would leverage all of China’s other domestic and international initiatives in…

  • ‘Humanity in Jeopardy’ (updated 29jan14)

    George Rebane I was going to report on the just released results from the Index of Economic Freedom that celebrates its 20th year.  In it the dire news is that the US has dropped out of the top 10 of the 186 countries rated – we are now 12th and continuing to go down (more…

  • Happy 2014 thoughts

    George Rebane Well, 2013 is now the year that was, and boy, was it a doozer!  By now we’ve all read countless reviews of the fights, feasts, and foibles of the past twelve months.  But I keep coming back to what kind of a world we have created as this year draws its last.  Obamacare…

  • Emmanuel has come!

    Let us celebrate the joy of His coming.

  • Then what will WE do?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 December 2013.] If you have been following the non-political side of the news recently, you no doubt have picked up on a hot topic getting hotter – robots and robotics.  In these commentaries we have covered the social impact of robots,…

  • Ruminations – 13dec2013

    George Rebane The new budget compromise – Dems 1; Repubs 0.  Let’s see if I got this one right.  The sequester is out, new taxes, er fees, are in.  Obamacare has unlimited drawing rights on the federal fisc and the liberal agenda is again in full force.  The deficit will continue to increase for the…

  • The Liberal Mind – Wealth Transfer on Steroids

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 6 December 2013.] Developed nations around the world are up to their ears in unmanageable debt while facing demographic tsunamis of workers getting ready to retire with un- or underfunded pensions.  In response, more people in governments and finance worldwide are…

  • US Students ‘Slip’ in Global Tests

    George Rebane RR has been preaching for years the importance of education for our country’s continued prosperity, security, and its envied quality of life.  Researchers and academics like Niall Ferguson  have warned us that our public education system long ago reverted from operating for the benefit of the student to the benefit of education workers,…

  • Scattershots – 1dec13 (updated 2dec13)

    George Rebane Obama, astute politician with global aspirations or functional idiot (who are his handlers)?  In these last months he has my pendulum swinging again, literally from day to day.  Obamacare’s healthcare.gov predictably blew through its 1dec13 deadline as an ongoing dysfunctional front end for the next phase of socialized medicine.  His legion of lackeys…

  • Ruminations – 26nov13 (updated 29nov13)

    George Rebane The Next Big Lie.  Lies are the established communications staple of the Obama administration.  There is no longer even an attempt to give truth a fly-by.  The next big lie out of the WH will be that healthcare.gov has been fixed as promised when 30 November arrives.  They’ve walked back ‘fixed’ to some…
