  • George Rebane It turns out that you can fool most of the people, most of the time – a truth long known to politicians, lawyers, and journalists. Yesterday DNI James R Clapper released ‘Assessing Russian Activity and Intentions in Recent US Elections’ dated 6 January 2017.  This 25-page report was supposed to supply the long-awaited…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 December 2016.] Fifty-five years ago President Eisenhower warned America about the military-industrial complex which he saw had an “unwarranted influence” on our polity.  In the years following, this notion became a rallying cry for our liberals.  But since then the bogeyman…

  • George Rebane The Russian Hacking Pot keeps on bubbling without any clear resolution in sight.  Our Left laments Hillary’s loss, and is now relieved to have found a deep dark reason for it – Russia colluded with Trump to hack her illegal server and the DNC, put the damning emails in the public domain through…

  • George Rebane Ever wonder why the IRS has not audited the Clinton Foundation?  You are not alone as that organization’s true nature has been revealed over the last 18 months.  Things got so bad last year to worry Chelsea enough about the foundation’s shenanigans that she hired a top-tier law firm to do an internal…

  • George Rebane I want to get this post up in a timely manner for tonight’s last debate of the most fractious political season since the Confederates finally decided to open fire on Ft Sumter.  In my decades I have never seen the country so frustrated and choose our candidates so unwisely.  For the Left, the…

  • George Rebane The progressive plague is well on its way into the STEM fields, seeking to put their moralizing stamp on what our STEM workers should (and ultimately can) think about and work on.  The same progressive pinheads have finally concluded that the discoveries of science and the developments of engineering are not ‘value neutral’…

  • George Rebane The collectivist of whatever hue avoids reasoned debate wherever he encounters it because he quickly finds that his cherished arguments are but baseless slogans that will not even support a conversation thread let alone serve as a riposte to reason.  Moreover, he also discovers that attempts to seek refuge in history, science, or economics…

  • George Rebane Trump is having trouble with his feet again.  He’s either shooting at them or sticking them in his mouth.  This gives a lot of ammo to the critics who say that it doesn’t matter with how many smart people President Trump will surround himself, because he simply won’t listen to them.  In the…

  • [This article was submitted by Mr Norm Sauer of Nevada City, retired attorney, Nevada City resident, and member of the Union Editorial Board.  The Union has declined to publish it.  The piece appears here, as received, in line with RR's policy on publishing its readers, and also to augment my thin coverage of HRC's astounding 'interview' - definitely…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 August 2016.] Student debt and college costs are out of control.  Under the passionate paeans of progressives over the last decades, we have been taught that we’re equal enough so that everyone will benefit from a college education and therefore everyone…
