  • The Liberal Mind Revealed – Example #439 (updated 11aug2018)

    ‘The beatings will stop when morale improves.’ – wall sign in forced labor camp George Rebane “Trained historian” Paul Moore’s piece in the 9aug18 Union argues that ‘Investigation is not done until you have all the evidence’.  I kid you not, this gentleman really has a mind that works out such logic.  And I can…

  • Trumporama – 30jul18 (updated 1aug18)

    George Rebane These thoughts are motivated by a letter2editor in today’s Union by Richard Van Steen.  There this gentleman, who has graduated from TDS to TAD, tells us that all Americans who don’t want President Trump immediately impeached are traitors, pure and simple – kinda like the stuff he has between his ears. Lately I’ve…

  • The Existential Abrogation of Sovereignty

    George Rebane Across this land we are debating the wrong thing.  There is no contention about separating kids from parents.  No one want to do that gratuitously.  But as a society, we do it when we must.  And we do it daily with American kids by the thousands when their parents are jailed or otherwise…

  • Par Force in the Second Amendment

    George Rebane On the morning of 19 April 1775, the communities surrounding Boston were awakened by riders alerting the colonial Americans that a battalion of British were marching out of Boston toward Lexington and Concord.  They were coming to confiscate a cache of arms and ammunition that the colonials had collected for the anticipated mounting…

  • Trump and the Ugly Fat Kid

    George Rebane There’s more to be said about President Trump’s anticipated meeting with NK’s Ugly Fat Kid (aka Kim Jong Un), the murderous dictator who today runs the world’s largest forced labor camp in the world.  That Trump got the UFK off the dime and issue an invitation is laudable in itself, and has really…

  • ‘Are We Free to Discuss America’s Real Problems?’

    “He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.” John Stuart Mill George Rebane This is the title of a recent major essay by Dr Amy Wax that initially appeared (here) in the January 2018 issue of the Imprimis, and was also featured in the 17feb18 issue of WSJ.  I bring…

  • On Immigration and ‘S#!thole Countries’ (updated 13jan18)

    George Rebane No matter what he actually said in that White House meeting on immigration policy, President Trump has again focused a policy discussion on a crux of the matter instead of continuing the same ol’ same ol’ circling of the barn.  I don’t want to debate whether he actually said “shithole country” as the…

  • America’s Checkpoints

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 January 2018.] Before we get into the more serious part of the commentary, I want to wish all KVMR listeners a healthy and prosperous 2018.  We all know it will be another extraordinary year no matter what your political outlook…

  • Scattershots – 21dec17 (updated 23dec17)

    George Rebane Shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) – winter solstice, a time for all kinds of alternative belief systems to hold ceremonies honoring their deities, ancestors, dark spirits, …, and, of course, Gaia.  Here in Nevada County (lat 39.13 degrees) the sun will climb to only 27.37 degrees above the southern…

  • Definitions Derby

    Hold to nothing too violently.  Every fool stands convinced: and everyone convinced is a fool; and the faultier a man's judgment, the firmer his conviction; even with the proof on your side, it is well to make concession; for your reasons are known and your gentlemanliness is recognized; … .  Gracian #183 George Rebane In…
