  • Ruminations – 4nov18 (update 5nov18)

    “If it’s not falsifiable, it’s not science.” Karl Popper George Rebane A regression function does not a theory make. Climate change: A regular reader and avid follower of climate science Russ Steele sent me a couple of links that I’d like to share with our True Believers (the rest are “deniers”).  The first is a…

  • ‘A Short History of American Medical Insurance’ (Addended)

    George Rebane If there is a problem in the land, consider government guilty of its cause until proven innocent. And that RR tagline applies doubly to the current cost of healthcare in America.  A short history of how we achieved healthcare costs that rank highest as a percentage of GDP is provided (here) by John…

  • Scattershots – 29oct18 (updated 31oct18)

    George Rebane Growing numbers of liberals now embrace the notion that voting for a living can be more lucrative than working for a living. Hallelujah!  Our distinguished liberal columnist and RR reader George Boardman comes out strong for the educated voter.  In today’s (29oct18) Union he writes, “If you haven't yet taken the time to…

  • Common Core = Obamacare of Education

    George Rebane More test scores keep rolling in telling those paying attention what our educational systems have done to the newest generation of America's students – and it isn’t pretty.  The only ones still genuflecting to our union dominated public schools are the nation’s progressives (including our local lefties) who dare not let light shine…

  • Fascism – what it is and isn’t (addended)

    George Rebane Since the Democratic Party’s great Leftward Lurch, it is now publicly and unabashedly America’s new socialist party, notwithstanding start-up wannabes like the newly formed Progressive Party USA.  The Left’s problem today is how they must carefully wend their way through a potential political minefield in how they describe their brand of collectivism –…

  • Socially Just STEM – it’s a’comin’

    George Rebane While the Dems have the nation tied in Kavanaugh knots and Russia collusions, they are also making quiet progress on other fronts.  In their constant efforts to weaken and then destroy the United States as a sovereign nation-state, our progressives accelerated shift to socialism today adds a new program to stifle and dilute…

  • Scattershots – 10sep18 (updated 11sep18)

    George Rebane What’s wrong with this picture? The Left likes to make lying a pastime unique to Republican politicians, especially President Trump.  None of them probably noticed that literally all of the Dems’ leading lights on the Judiciary Committee told whoppers when they grilled Judge Kavanaugh in their vain attempts to pry something loose that…

  • ‘Choose capitalism’

    George Rebane So argues Manny Montes in an excellent piece in the 6sep18 Union (here).  Mr Montes, who lives in Auburn, is a kindred spirit we have cited before in these pages.  He begins by reminding us how the lamestream media misleads and purposely spreads discontent (‘enemy of the people’?) by continuing to imply that…

  • The Vassals of Corporatism

    George Rebane The good part of capitalism is that it games the system; the bad part of capitalism is that it games the system. [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 September 2018.] I was going to do this week’s commentary on the ongoing Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge…

  • Local socialist labors on the Economy

    George Rebane On this Labor Day our Union columnist George Boardman takes a particularly dim view of the state our economy and its workforce (here).  He recounts economic news only to continue the socialist narrative of envy and promote some dismal legislation, while decrying the evil and uncaring capitalist system under which Americans are forced…
