  • Sandbox – 30mar15

    [As a surprise to no one save Team Obama and the land's progressives, Iran has finally done what was expected and told us to go pound sand on the major provisions of the oh-so-hoped-for agreement.  gjr]

  • Indiana practices religious freedom (updated 3apr15)

    George Rebane Indiana’s new law providing for the practice of religious freedom is not really a new law at all, but joined at the hip with bipartisan legislation – Religious Freedom Restoration Act – passed in 1993 and signed by President Clinton.  That law clarified and underlined the Constitution’s provision for not letting government define…

  • Scattershots – 25mar15 (updated 26mar15)

    George Rebane Gov Jerry Brown demonstrated to many of us that he has entered his dotage. The man called Sen Ted Cruz “unfit for office” for no other reason than the senator’s rejecting the politicized consensus of manmade global warming to which Moonbeam added that the same scientists now blame current weather events on a roundly rejected…

  • Sandbox – 22mar15

    [Well, that was quite an episode in the last sandbox that I hope has run its course, or at least not let that thread of ad hominem exchanges leak out.  I see that Sen Ted Cruz will throw his hat in the ring tomorrow, NATO's chief sees continued expansion from Putin that may get out…

  • To What End Por Favor?

    George Rebane We are here in Scottsdale again attending the annual conference of the Mercatus Center and Institute for Humane Studies.  For the last several years it has been an annual event for us and friends to caravan down and enjoy a few days of exceedingly interesting presentations and workshops on economics and national issues. …

  • Sandbox – 18mar15

    [Am on travel and daily connectivity is iffy.  Am very interested in hearing readers' take on what is the definitive yet plausible disclosure about Hillary's emails that would start other Dems coming out of the woodwork to throw their hats into the ring for 2016.  So far everything looks like the email thing may become…

  • Continued Confirmation of Collectivist Constituents’ Cognition

    George Rebane One of the major RR tenets over the years has been that the voters, those who resonate with the promises and programs promoted by the Left, are more than somewhat stunted in their abilities to comprehend and reason about the issues of the day.  Admittedly these issues have become more complex as our…

  • Sandbox – 11mar15

    [So much to think and talk about – Hillary's debacles and scandals and incipient candidacy(?), Kentucky's two senators starting to hug each other, Obama's Iranian bumble, The Fed's prevarication on interest rates and the market's dive, Iran 'advising' Iraqi troops against ISIS (remember, these turkeys fought an eight year war recently), al Sisi, our strongest Arab ally,…

  • Liberal Mind – Smoothing out cultural ripples

    George Rebane Used to be that America was this and not that.  We had a predominant culture that was a unique amalgam of the cultures our European immigrants brought with them.  Each succeeding wave of newcomers somehow adapted and worked their culture into what was then resident.  To be sure, cultural discrimination was already popularly…

  • International Women’s Day transmogrified (addended)

    George Rebane IWD was launched in 1917 by the American Socialist Party to oppose the war and support nascent communist movements across Europe.  Their message of ‘bread and peace' was later attributed by Leon Trotsky as the real start of the communist and socialist revolutions.  The underlying message to attract ideologically vanilla people was social…
