  • Ruminations – 9apr18 (updated 14apr18)

    George Rebane ‘No Labels’ is a mighty effort by some Washington DC types from both sides to propose what they see as carefully crafted bipartisan solutions to our nation’s problems.  The activities of these good-hearted people have been covered here before.  But it appears they have overstepped their Left-approved bounds endorsing the wrong Democrat candidate…

  • Progressives Pander Pubertistas (updated 7apr18)

    George Rebane Yesterday was the day kids across the country were organized to walk out of their classes and protest ‘gun violence’.  Given what the little darlins are (not) taught in schools, they appeared to have no idea of what had happened in Parkland and what they were actually protesting with signs like ‘Choose me,…

  • Sandbox – 7mar18

    [The corruption of the FBI is detailed by former federal prosecutor and US attorney Joseph Digenova in the feb2018 issue of Imprimis.  Entitled ‘The Politicization of the FBI’, this summary of the 2016-17 ongoings with the Clinton and Trump campaigns is the most clear, concise, and complete recounting I have read.  It totally corroborates the…

  • Californians, take what you will but … (updated 8mar18)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 7 March 2018.] California is a mess.  There is not enough time in this short commentary to describe all the ways in which our state has fallen to the bottom of the barrel, but I will attempt to summarize some of…

  • Scattershots – 5mar18 (updated 8mar18)

    If you cannot see the irony in having a gun ban enforced by men with guns, then you fail to understand why the Second Amendment was written in the first place. George Rebane The NYT publishes another exhibit of yellow journalism with an article (here) that leaves the naïve reader convinced that ‘assault rifles’, like…

  • The Progressives’ Parkland Pawns (updated)

    George Rebane Everyone now knows how the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School became very visible gun control and confiscation advocates after the massacre at their school which also highlighted massive government failures, cowardice, and LE incompetence.  The students were able to organize themselves into several functional and mobile teams that confronted the media,…

  • Climate Reporting and Other Asymmetries

    George Rebane We have covered a lot of left/right asymmetric reporting on RR.  Calling such journalism ‘asymmetric’ perhaps substitutes a kinder word for what today has come to be called ‘fake news’.  One area that has institutionalized fake news is the way our lamestream media report the ‘science’ of climate change.  Starting with the leftwing…

  • Government guilty until …

    George Rebane RR readers are familiar with the Rebane Doctrine maxim – ‘If something has gone wrong in society, government is guilty until proven innocent’.  The verity of this has been demonstrated countless times in any and every country, especially in America.  As our government has become the bloated leviathan that it is, the examples…

  • Gun Confiscation – again on the march (updated 21feb18)

    “Over the last fifty years, it’s the Left that has assaulted every moral norm and disdained every religious and cultural restraint.”  Andrew Klavan George Rebane Student groups across the land are now forming to protest the ownership and availability of guns in America.  Their tearful yet uninformed emotions will supply more grist for grinding down…

  • ‘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…
