  • Ruminations – 25aug18 (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane That Lady Justice today only wears a patch over one eye is apparent to at least half the country.  Mueller’s ongoing investigation, along with the FBI et al investigations that preceded it, gives clear and compelling evidence to the bloom of corruption that has compromised our justice system over the last decade.  Kim…

  • Luxury Communism, the Siren Song

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 August 2018.] Among an alarming fraction of today’s younger generation, capitalism has become a dirty word, and communism has lost all of its historical barnacles.  Along with socialism, today communism is viewed by our millennials as a more socially just system,…

  • ‘Does Diversity Really Unite Us?’

    George Rebane The short answer to that important question is NO.  We have studied the arguments of scholars and thinkers on this for the life of RR and longer, and have found nothing to persuade us to abandon the blatantly obvious and common sense answer in the negative.   Unity is based on fundamental principles of…

  • Ruminations – 17aug18 (updated 19aug18)

    George Rebane Obama’s PPD-20 has hamstrung America’s ability to defend and counter cyberattacks against us.  President Trump is recalling that Presidential Policy Directive to “ to push decision-making authority down the chain of command, could empower military officials to launch more frequent and more aggressive cyberattacks against adversaries like Russia and Iran.”  (more here) 2017 saw…

  • Scattershots – 14aug18 (updated 15aug18)

    You can get away with a lot of  illiberal theatrics and demands in a liberal society, and one of the great, eternal challenges for democratic governments is to figure out how much one can tolerate before the forces of illiberalism corrode the liberal order.  Jonah Goldberg (2018) George Rebane ‘Google gives back’ gushes the 13aug18…

  • The bigotry of the Left

    George Rebane  This post grew out of comments by one of our prominent leftwing readers who hides his identity under the letter M.  This commenter ascribed a quote by white nationalist leader Jason Kessler about the variation in IQ scores between individuals of various population groups. (more here)  M rejects such results (here) and considers…

  • 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…

  • Fairness and Leftwing Talk Radio (updated 26jul18)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 July 2018.] In our hyper-polarized country it’s time to revisit the notion of censoring free speech.  And specifically as this relates to talk radio.  Our Left has had a perennial problem with how talk radio works in America, or how…

  • Scattershots – 23jul18 (updated 26jul18)

    George Rebane In ‘Our country’s future relies on embracing those escaping brutality’ by Ms Judith McCarrick of the Immigration Action Alliance we find some pearls, among them – “That migrant parents have broken immigration laws to (surreptitiously) cross our borders is untrue.” Why? Because the legal immigration process is difficult and takes time, and because…
