  • America’s education – mandated and biased (updated 2mar19)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 February 2019.] Many and perhaps most young people today have a very jaundiced view of America, capitalism, Christianity, and western civilization in general.  Instead, all across the country and especially in the academe, they have come to embrace ideas about…

  • Scattershots – 25feb19 (updated 26feb19)

    George Rebane In ‘America’s Second Civil War’ by Dennis Prager, he makes the case of the Great Divide stating that, save for slavery, Americans are further apart in how they think about their country and in which direction should be its future, than during the “First Civil War” in the 19th century.  He writes in…

  • Unsustainable Socialism

    If it hasn’t happened, it won’t happen. – Progressive shibboleth George Rebane The conversation hereabouts circles the ‘sustainability of socialism’ barn as regularly as turning the pages of a calendar.   Ever since the French revolution we have always lived with socialists who in past years were harder to spot, at least until Marx and Bastiat…

  • Border Security’s True Colors (updated 20feb19)

    George Rebane For some years I have been pointing out to readers that America’s Left has a totally different outlook on the function of US borders, especially the one with Mexico.  I don’t claim to be flying solo in this interpretation, since several nationally prominent commentators of the Right have expressed their similar views and…

  • The American AI Initiative & herding cats

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 February 2019.] The entire field of artificial or machine intelligence (AI) seems to be more misunderstood by the day, and not only on Main Street, but also in the highest levels of government.  President Trump recently signed an executive order…

  • The Green New Deal (updated 8feb19)

    A rose by any other name would smell … .  Wm Shakespeare George Rebane Well, the last bits of doubt about our Democratic Party have been swept away by the new House resolution describing a fundamental transformation of America (Barack Obama, call your office).  The Green New Deal, sponsored by AOC and Senator Ed Markey…

  • Twilight in California – VDH nails it

    George Rebane Victor Davis Hanson, California farmer, premier academic, and syndicated columnist, has given a comprehensive analysis of California’s sunset – and I do mean comprehensive.  We have covered the work of VDH many times on these pages (e.g. here), and in ‘Wealth, Poverty, and Flight: The Same Old California’ he takes us through a…

  • Scattershots – 22jan19 (updated 24jan19)

    George Rebane The ignorant-to-evil needle has made a big jump toward evil in the last couple of days with the MAGA hat massacre in DC, and the shaming of Second Lady Mrs Pence.  The Catholic boys in the MAGA hats committed two sins for which the Liberal Lies machine went ballistic – they were Christians…

  • Swedish Rhapsody

    [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 January 2019.] George Rebane Today our socialist politicians feel that they have the wind at their back to fundamentally transform our country into the Socialist States of America.  And that may well be the case as poll after poll shows that for…

  • The mangling of managed minds

    George Rebane People who are informed primarily through media soundbites have been shown to have very volatile opinions.  When a new and contrary tranche of soundbites comes along, such people more often than not change their minds and follow the new direction of the most recent compelling soundbite.  This is because soundbite driven opinions are…
