  • As we pass another milestone

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular commentary on KVMR broadcast on 30 December 2015.] Now that 2015 is drawing to a close I’d like to take a few moments for a personal look back at what was and what we might witness next.  It’s been quite a year, and 2016 promises to…

  • Republican Women “wasting time”? (updated 29dec15)

    George Rebane Re Ms Annamaria Sauer’s letter in the 26dec15 Union responding to the charge that the NC Republican Women Federated are wasting their time deriving a biased, therefore worthless, audit of the newspaper’s count of publishing politically slanted op-ed content. The local hard Left has long criticized The Union as being tilted toward the…

  • California – The Progressive Paradise (updated 2jan16)

    George Rebane Lenin promised Russians a workers’ paradise, the rest is history. California’s progression toward socialism has long been acknowledged by both the Left and the Right.  The state is known globally as America’s leading laboratory of collectivist programs and practices.   Leftwing media around the world celebrate California’s ‘leadership’ in all things progressivist.  Leading publications…

  • Sandbox – 26dec15

    [Well, we're heading for the end of 2015 and it's time to refresh the sandbox one last time before we ring in the new year.  I hope all RR readers had the merriest Christmas and are girding their loins for a very exciting 2016 that I'm sure we'll dissect ten ways from Sunday.  I very…

  • A Holy Day not a holiday

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes to all who read these pages – God’s annual promise reissued.

  • Preventing a Dystopic Singularity

    George Rebane While most people don’t have a clue about the portents of AI or the Singularity, among those who do there has been a growing concern that super-intelligent machines may not provide the post-Singularity utopia that hopeful technicians like Ray Kurzweil describe (The Singularity is Near). Among this group of knowledgeable commentators are also…

  • Sandbox – 19dec15

    [Gun control. Correspondents keep sending me data on gun homicides compiled by the WHO.  For those who truly know something about ‘gun violence’ in America, these data are not new (which says a lot about our progressive counterparts).  It turns out that the US doesn’t even make the top 100 countries in the per capita…

  • Proud grandparents brag about granddaughter

    George Rebane Well, it’s time to toot Elizabeth’s horn. Jo Ann and I attended the science and math graduation ceremony here at the Tucson campus of the University of Arizona to watch our granddaughter Elizabeth graduate with dual degrees in Neuro & Cognitive Science and Molecular & Cellular Biology (easy for me to say).  She…

  • Sandbox – 15dec15

    [We now hear the latest from the steroidally augmented politically correct. At Brooklyn’s PS#169 the teachers have banned even the use of the terms ‘Christmas’, ‘Santa Claus’, ‘Thanksgiving’, and several others in school affairs as hearkening back to a time of error and religion.  Adding to their decades long progress in neutralizing the American intellect,…

  • Local Left Situationally Unaware (updated 14dec15)

    George Rebane The local Left joins the national Left in their happy dance about the ‘Climate Change agreement’ reached in Paris this week.  What they don’t seem to appreciate is that it will have about as much impact on earth’s climate, no matter how widely it is accepted or rejected, as does the Iran deal…
