  • California’s Common Core Catastrophe

    George Rebane In these pages we have long lamented California’s adoption of the Common Core curriculum standards, especially in the teaching of math in K-12.  H/T to longtime RR reader and discussant Greg Goodknight, who points us to an important just-published essay on Common Core performance in California since the standards were adopted in 2010…

  • Scattershots – 26apr18 (updated 29apr18)

    George Rebane Our American public mind has been taking some hits in recent decades, and is now in a power dive into the mud if we see what is happening in academe and in content of popular entertainments.  After having devastated K-12 education, the Left is now in the process of delivering a coup de grace…

  • Corporatism in America – An update

    George Rebane Corporatism is government supported assault on free market capitalism. Corporatism, according to what the Left has been telling people for generations, is free market capitalism.  Their support of corporatism, while pointing out both its obvious and surreptitious faults, is their main propaganda weapon to promote the collectivization of industry, and in the process…

  • What happened to the FBI?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 March 2018.] Today many thoughtful people on both sides of our wide political spectrum ask, ‘whatever happened to our FBI?’  Almost everyone has an opinion, along with news stories to back it up, about how our premier domestic law enforcement agency…

  • Climate Industry’s Shameful Science

    George Rebane A correspondent alerted me to an important new report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation titled ‘Global Warming – A Case Study in Groupthink’ by Christopher Booker.  This extensive report examines the now institutionalized global hysteria embracing the belief that humanity is in the grip of catastrophic yet heroically preventable manmade global warming. …

  • Those Who Can, Can’t, or Won’t

    George Rebane Colleges and universities will “soon begin to divide into two entities—the STEM fields and related practical subjects (i.e., business and economics), and the social sciences and humanities, which would start to shrivel under the weight of the degradations the left has inflicted over the last 40 years.”  So writes Steven Hayward in ‘The…

  • The Progressives’ Parkland Pawns (updated)

    George Rebane Everyone now knows how the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School became very visible gun control and confiscation advocates after the massacre at their school which also highlighted massive government failures, cowardice, and LE incompetence.  The students were able to organize themselves into several functional and mobile teams that confronted the media,…

  • Climate Reporting and Other Asymmetries

    George Rebane We have covered a lot of left/right asymmetric reporting on RR.  Calling such journalism ‘asymmetric’ perhaps substitutes a kinder word for what today has come to be called ‘fake news’.  One area that has institutionalized fake news is the way our lamestream media report the ‘science’ of climate change.  Starting with the leftwing…

  • Gun Confiscation – again on the march (updated 21feb18)

    “Over the last fifty years, it’s the Left that has assaulted every moral norm and disdained every religious and cultural restraint.”  Andrew Klavan George Rebane Student groups across the land are now forming to protest the ownership and availability of guns in America.  Their tearful yet uninformed emotions will supply more grist for grinding down…

  • Stopping School Shooters

    George Rebane We’ve said it here before about stopping school shooters, only guns will stop killers with guns.  That’s why police and the military carry them.  Israel recognized a long time ago that their schools were inviting targets for terrorists, and their response was to arm the schools – teachers, administrators, maintenance workers, …  Not…
