  • Scattershots – 10sep18 (updated 11sep18)

    George Rebane What’s wrong with this picture? The Left likes to make lying a pastime unique to Republican politicians, especially President Trump.  None of them probably noticed that literally all of the Dems’ leading lights on the Judiciary Committee told whoppers when they grilled Judge Kavanaugh in their vain attempts to pry something loose that…

  • ‘Choose capitalism’

    George Rebane So argues Manny Montes in an excellent piece in the 6sep18 Union (here).  Mr Montes, who lives in Auburn, is a kindred spirit we have cited before in these pages.  He begins by reminding us how the lamestream media misleads and purposely spreads discontent (‘enemy of the people’?) by continuing to imply that…

  • Ruminations – 4sep2018 (updated 7sep18)

    George Rebane Rapidly decreasing sperm counts in western males.  The trend is now over 40 old and presumably contributed to by some ‘endocrine disruptor’ chemicals in the plastics we use. (here)  Now that is a real shot in the shorts because low sperm counts are also harbingers of all kinds of other maladies in men…

  • Quo Vadis Democrats? (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane It turns out that my ongoing assessments of our Great Divide have been in error – the gulf between America’s Left and Right is significantly wider than what I have been reporting.  This latest epiphany came to me as I was perusing ‘Another Day of Conflicting Realities’, Bob Crabb’s latest post and comment…

  • 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…
