  • ‘… stuck on 1% growth.’ (updated 2aug16)

    George Rebane On the last day of the Democratic Convention we suddenly saw some very un-Democratic displays of military officers on the podium, (borrowed) Old Glories galore, and shouts of ‘USA!, USA!, …’ from the floor.  So much in fact that NPR’s Weekend Edition had to do a feature piece on it asking experts what…

  • Ruminations – 27jul16 (updated 3aug16)

    “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”  Confucius George Rebane Since Turkey’s Erdogan most recently explained to the world of infidels – “Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers.  Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” – more and more articles now appear expanding on that truth…

  • George Boardman nails it

    George Rebane Columnist and RR reader George Boardman wrote an excellent and timely critique of California’s STEM education available today in our secondary schools.  Not only did he present relevant stats on the status of courses offered across the state, he also gave a chilling summary of the new revisionist history and social studies subjects that…

  • Convention Capers 2016 – Democrat (updated 29jul16)

    George Rebane I thought that launching this forum a couple of days early would let us all do an orderly segue from bombast to abject denial that something more is needed than continuing the disaster of the last eight years.  It will be heart wrenching to witness the description of a bizarre alternate reality in the…

  • Scattershots – 10jul16 (updated 14jul16)

    George Rebane Progressivism's Litmus Test is their introduction of public policies that eliminate dependence of social order on culture, and their replacement with prescriptions based solely on the state's threat of gratuitous and arbitrary application of overwhelming force. National Lie #53(or whatever) – Illegal aliens are a net contribution to our GDP.  Really?? … according to a new report from…

  • Independence Day Weekend Thoughts (updated 3jul16)

    George Rebane This will be America’s 240th birthday celebration observed by divers cohorts of “real live nephews of our Uncle Sam” not all of whom wish him a long life.  Our divisions today are at least as great as those which gave rise to the South’s War for Independence – aka the Civil War.  Americans…

  • Ruminations – 21jun16 (updated again 23jun16)

    George Rebane Consider the following in light of the administration’s recent barrage of lies about terrorism, Islam, and homeland security. Proper use of Bayesian statistics and decision support has kept Islamists at bay in many countries – Israel is the poster child – around the world.  Our homeland security apparatus eschews such modern advances under…

  • The Progressives’ Pervasive Pogo Prescription

    ‘We have met the enemy, and he is us.’  Pogo, 20th century philosopher George Rebane That observation has long been repurposed from its original context by pundits of various persuasions, none more consistently than by the elites of the Left.  I posted ‘The Liberal Mind Inteprets Florida, etc’ to elicit a broader discussion and illustration…

  • The Liberal Mind interprets Florida, etc (updated)

    George Rebane This morning’s massacre at an Orlando LGBT nightclub provides and ongoing confirmation of the chasm between Left and Right America.  From the national Democratic leadership and their lamestream media right down to our own RR readers of a markedly progressive bent, their impetus is to deny, minimize, or ignore – Any connection to…

  • Yes, ethnicity, culture, and even ideology impact decisions

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 8 June 2016.] As the double helix is spliced and the twig is bent … The political dust devil du jour is Donald Trump’s complaint that an Indiana judge’s ruling on a business case involving the billionaire will be impacted by…
