  • The 360 degree Asia Pivot

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 December 2012.] Something world-shaking happened in Phnom Penh a couple of weeks ago, and Americans didn’t have a clue because our media either did not understand the event, or were still in their ‘protect Obama’ mode of operation.  But first let’s…

  • Ruminations – 6dec12

    George Rebane Remember the ladies from Detroit who loved President Obama’s “stash” but had no idea where it came from.  Well, it’s almost four years later, and one of them seems now to be on the Detroit City Council.  As readers know, Detroit is on its collective ass and getting ready for a little bit…

  • Are We More or Less Free?

    The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. Chinese proverb George Rebane This important topic was resurrected in a comment thread under ‘Happy Thanksgiving – 2012’.  Two readers voiced strong opinions (one with cited evidence) that our freedoms have increased.  One reader disputed that, and I join in that dispute.  I…

  • Ruminations – 22oct12

    George Rebane President Obama has been a one person foreign policy and domestic economy disaster area.  His acumen there recognized, he has been visibly and volubly welcomed as America’s preeminent socialist president by some of the most shady heads of state on the planet, along with the Marxist mannequins who are still trying to figure…

  • Today’s AI in tomorrow’s medicine

    George Rebane Wired magazine has a very lame article on what should be an exciting report – the advent and functionality of clinical AI systems that are entering the healthcare service.  ‘Paging Dr. Watson: Artificial Intelligence As a Prescription for Health Care’ authored by Brandon Keim paints an inconclusive ‘on the one hand, … but…

  • Columbus Day 2012

    George Rebane Today we observe Cristofo’s grand achievement in 1492 that started the European conquest of the Americas – the Vikings blew their attempt about 500 years earlier.  This national holiday is specifically eschewed in Hawaii, Nevada, and, of course, California.  Nevertheless, I was reminded by a reader that RR would be remiss in not…

  • Ah yes, the religion of tolerance and peace …

    George Rebane One wonders if western progressives will ever come to understand Islam and its impact on people who hold it dearest in their hearts.  I don’t think so, since they have invested too much of their intellectual capital in their home countries as apologists for that religion.  After all, Islam is the most available…

  • Blazing Skirt continued (updated 29sep12)

    George Rebane I wonder if our UN ambassador Susan Rice will now resign after being told to go on five talk shows last Sunday and make a fool of herself.  Team Obama sure hung her out to dry.  The cause of last week’s murderous Benghazi consulate attack has again revealed how ineffective and feckless this…

  • An Amateur in the White House

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 September 2012.] The events of this week continue to highlight the long held conclusion that we have an amateur in the White House.  As more becomes known about the attacks on sovereign US territories in Cairo and Benghazi, we are discovering…

  • Ruminations – 14sep12

    George Rebane Well, it appears that Glenn Beck is back, and in spades.  Where before he had just an hour on Fox News, he has virtually taken over Dish TV’s channel 212 programming.  His format is basically the same with some news programming added on.  I still don’t understand how many of his hour long…
