  • Scattershots – 1nov17 (updated 4nov17)

    George Rebane Single-payer sounds of silence.  Our lamestream has been forever silent on the blatant shortcomings and fake news about other countries’ SP healthcare systems, especially their posterchild, the UK’s National Health Service.  None of the laments published by the British press about NHS foibles and failures make it to this side of the pond,…

  • Mueller Mining the Russia Collusion Confusion (updated 5nov17)

    George Rebane It may well be that the ongoing ‘Russia collusion’ investigation will turn out to be a bigger affair than was Watergate, even if it doesn’t connect Donald Trump to any culpable act.  Special prosecutors must needs eventually find something to prosecute, and find it they will as Robert Mueller has already demonstrated with…

  • Scattershots – 26oct17 (updated 28oct17)

    Legal US gun owners have 300 million guns, and over a trillion rounds of ammo.  Seriously folks, if we were a problem, you'd know it. – Inconvenient fact. George Rebane News media reports on Americans’ attitudes about paying taxes includes this little bagatelle – only 39% disapprove of the poor not paying any federal taxes,…

  • Introducing Politically Correct Mathematics

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 October 2017.  A slightly edited version of this appeared as an op-ed in the 4nov17 Union (here). gjr] In these commentaries we have chronicled the long decline of America’s K-12 education, a decline that has now been joined by our…

  • Scattershots – 5oct17

    George Rebane The news media, including Fox News, are confounding the latest buzz about the SecDef and the President being at odds about the Iran agreement.  Trump has called the Iran deal “the worst ever” for the US, while Mattis along with the JCoS chair testified that Iran appears to be living up to the…

  • Dershowitz Defines Dangers

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 September 2017.] Selectively celebrated and nationally prominent attorney and law professor Alan Dershowitz has become a familiar advocate of divers, sometimes conflicting, causes over the last few decades.  The country’s most prominent secular Jew has defended the likes of Patty…

  • Fake News Defined

    George Rebane Since I took some considerable issue with the LWV’s attempt to illuminate the nation’s travails with fake news (here), the definition of which never quite emerged from that conclave, I thought it proper to make my own contribution to the same.  I believe that most people graced with critical thinking skills will more…

  • iGeners – when you thought it couldn’t get worse (updated 26aug17)

    George Rebane Time for a short update on our generational tailspin.  A new body of research has just been published on iGen, the latest generation of Americans.  iGeners are the young people born in the 1995-2012 interval.  They are the ones following our infamous millennials born 1977-1995 whose aggregate predilection toward dumbth we have been…

  • Roll on A21 – rollin’, rollin’, rollin’!

    George Rebane We continue on our unintended road to the world described in the UN’s Agenda 21 objectives for ‘voluntary global sustainable development’.  Few people know that A21 is the tacit goal quietly accepted by governments across the world (more here).  On RR, we have been railing against this surreptitiously mandated brave new world for…

  • Healthcare from Hell (updated 8jul17)

    George Rebane Union columnist Terry McLaughlin writes an excellent expose of nationalized healthcare in the newspaper’s 6jul17 edition – ‘Government run healthcare wouldn’t be cheaper; more efficient’.  In there she includes a detailed report from New Zealand, one of the countries often cited by socialists of how a healthcare system should work.  As you might…
