  • Reflections on Racism – no time to decide (updated)

    George Rebane A barren desert is now the middle ground separating Americans from their woke and fundamentally transformed brethren. Racism has been an enduring theme on RR for years – e.g. back in 2010, through the years, and a more recent commentary in 2019.  With readers we have dissected it 20 ways from Sunday.  Even…

  • Scattershots – 19jun20

    “Capital trickles away from dictatorial states that fail to defend private individuals and their property.  Instead, if flows into states upholding the rule of law and private property.”  Yuval Noah Hariri George Rebane Sweden’s death committees have been working overtime.  Under their nationalized healthcare hordes of seniors diagnosed with C19 have been automatically consigned to…

  • Springtime for our Great Divide

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 June 2020.] Where were you and what did you do in the spring of 2020?  The world has changed much during the last three months.  When we look back, we will remember this spring as the historical milestone when Americans…

  • Antifa Rising (updated 9jun20)

    George Rebane Motivated by the ongoing George Floyd protests cum riots, I renewed my interest in finding out more about Antifa – is it an organization or merely a movement of loosely coupled cells operating all over the country?  The discussions in our comment streams seem to divide along ideological lines – those leaning right…

  • Some flavors of mindlessness (updated 25may20)

    George Rebane In the mindless department, we start with a letter from a Skip Pollard in the 22may20 Union that takes to task the 6may20 column by Terry McLaughlin where she substantiates the thesis –   “No one could have predicted with certainty a viral pandemic arising in 2020, and no human being could have…

  • Scattershots – 28apr20 (updated 2may20)

    George Rebane 501c3 bets to co-locate money and mouth.  RR’s commenters have over the years made assertions and predictions with such deeply held convictions as to draw more than a smile from the rest of us.  So here’s a proposal (again) – offer odds and a material dollar bet that your measurable assertion will come…

  • Local Launch of Left’s New Covid-19 Narrative

    George Rebane The country’s Democrats are in a wholesale, smelly-sweat panic about the upcoming election – in reality a progressives’ pandemic.  They have wound up with an unelectable presidential candidate-in-waiting.  No one knows this better about Bumblebrain Biden than the DNC and its congressional leadership.  What to do? The obvious answer – now that all…

  • A long-languished letter

    [Way back when, before C19 conquered the media, I was taken to task in its lead 13mar20 column by a Union reader about my views on the electoral college and democracy.  I submitted the following rebuttal which became a coronavirus casualty.  Its posting here is for the record, and an acknowledgement that not all my…

  • Victor Davis Hanson nails it

    George Rebane Noted historian, American classicist, and syndicated columnist Victor Davis Hanson writes a comprehensive column ‘Corona Meltdowns’ that details the demonic evils of the Democratic Party in this time of crisis for our nation.  He echoes and substantiates what we here have posted and discussed over the years, more frequently since the election of…

  • Fighting C19 (updated 10may20)

    George Rebane Here are some points about our country’s approach to fighting the C19 coronavirus. The main reason the media reporters and the administration are talking past each other about what C19 response policies to follow or even how to evaluate what’s being done is that no one is astute enough to put their finger…
