  • 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…

  • Scott Adams ‘endorses’ Hillary

    George Rebane The evidence for asymmetrical socialist thuggery just keeps pouring in.  Having long gone bankrupt in the arena of ideas, the Left continues to resort to violence in order to silence their opponents.  The spate of riots and attacks on Trump supporters continues to grow both at his rallies and elsewhere where people publicly…

  • Scattershots – 3jun16

    George Rebane When the country has a problem, it is prudent to consider government guilty until proven innocent. Today we hear of banks being squeezed by regulatory mandates that require them to lend to a broader category of borrowers (e.g. car buyers), and at the same time reduce risk.  Such strictures can only issue from…

  • Berkheimer and Bernie – birds of a feather (updated)

    George Rebane Last Saturday’s (28may16) newspapers offered up dollops of leftwing wisdom from the great and the small, both issuing from what to me and mine has always been a Neverland of cogent thought.  From Hiroshima (pronounced Hiroshma, not Hero-shiima) we heard once more the words of our leader pleading for an Earth that never…
