  • It’s the Dawa, stupid! (updated 10apr17)

    George Rebane ‘Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam’s Most Eloquent Apostate’ now makes her latest attempt to explain the sum and substance of Islam in a well-summarized interview conducted at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.  Longtime RR readers will recognize that this American scholar, born as a Somalian Muslim, corroborates every point made in these pages about the…

  • ‘Fair’ Cost of Goods & Services

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 April 2017.] Capitalism in America is on the ropes and about to take two big hits that most likely will put it down for the count.  The first is to tax automation and technology in the workplace intended to reduce…

  • The Depth of Dumbth (updated 1apr17)

    George Rebane Evidence continues to pour in that the most recent generation of Americans – the so-called millennials – have turned out to be the dumbest in our history.  Specifically, their literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills hover above the barely adequate levels to conduct modern life according to diverse sources ranging from America’s employers…

  • Mr Boardman’s Apples and Oranges

    George Rebane “Did you know that the moon is 1/49 the size of the earth, even though it is further away?” was a memorable entry in an early issue of Mad Magazine many years ago.  I was reminded of it when reading George Boardman’s regular column in the 13mar17 Union this morning (here).  For readers…

  • Scattershots – 11mar2017 (updated 14mar17)

    Of all the Trump conundra, "for now, only one thing remains certain: the candidate whom the Republican establishment most disliked has the greatest potential in a generation to stop the progressive project and enact the agendas that the Republican establishment most wants. And that paradox has become a source of both great wonderment—and fear." Victor…

  • Hatred Institutionalized

    George Rebane That our country has passed the tipping point from a democratic republic has been maintained and recorded in these pages for some years now.  Since the election of Donald Trump as our 45th president there has been a sea change in the national regression.  Never before have major national institutions turned so virulently…

  • Ruminations – 28feb17

    George Rebane Litmus test for regaining America’s greatness: Sustained GDP growth exceeding 3% per annum. NYT claims “Mr Trump will inherit an economy that is fundamentally solid.”  But that fake news is patent nonsense as these pages have maintained for years, and now Mr Nicholas Eberstadt, political economist at the American Enterprise Institute, will explain…

  • Stupid is as stupid does

    George Rebane Victor Davis Hanson makes it clear that California will quickly join the third world if it ever succeeds in seceding.  The Oroville Dam fiasco is a good yardstick for reflecting on the state of our state after decades of Democrat control that now is becoming more radical by the month.  Businesses will see…

  • Hot time in the ol’ Town Hall tonight

    George Rebane As members of Congress head home for their scheduled recess this coming week, the hard or Alt-Left is preparing a hot time for all Republicans who plan to hold town hall meetings with their constituents.   These radicalized socialists have gone a long way to organize their more placid yet compliant Democrat cohorts to…

  • Where Now Democrats? (updated 10feb17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 February 2017.] A lot has happened on both sides of the aisle in the last couple of weeks.  President Trump is off to a determined if not bumpy start to deliver on his campaign promises, and the Democrats …?  Well,…
