  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • Not all liberals are stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they try to think. George Rebane [An edited and ‘liberally’ criticized version of this post was published (here) in the 4feb17 issue of The Union.  I answer my critics here.] Well, it’s now official – multi-kulti does not work.  There are limits to cultural differences…

  • George Rebane The progressive media pundits and political cartoonists have gotten a reprieve on creativity.  For at least the next four years they will each get a pass by posting a Trash Trump piece.  I suppose that’s only fair, but while the conservatives didn’t have that latitude with our recently retired Sec8 president, they did…

  • The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see. – Winston Churchill George Rebane Well, the Dems now have a rip that’s hard to hide – they are a bit fragmented after the election didn’t turn out as bought and paid for, and their intramural shenanigans were exposed to the world, and everyone now…

  • George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 January 2017.] In a few days we will witness the most tendentious changing of the guard our republic has had since Abe Lincoln was sworn in.  Now that’s ‘tendentious’ like in ‘having or showing a definite tendency, bias, or purpose’. …

  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…
