  • 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…

  • Ruminations – 27feb18 (updated 3mar18)

    ‘Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.’ Anonymous George Rebane The Democratic Party’s sharp move to the left during the last ten years is now visible to all save only the most politically myopic among us.  Daily dunnings of fellow Democrats (especially in California)…

  • Comparing the Memos

    George Rebane Well, there is a difference or two between the Nunes (here)and the Schiff (here) memos.  The main difference is the approach to disclose.  Nunes stated material facts of what was and was not in the FISA application – it was not comprehensive for a number of reasons that included it being a purposely sanitized version…

  • Sandbox – 24feb18

    [Please note the recent topic specific commentaries under which to collect your thoughts on those issues.  For all else, this is the place.  gjr]

  • Legal guns in schools (updated 26feb18)

    George Rebane RR has always taken the position that keeping certain facilities (public and private) as ‘gun free zones’ has been and continues to be a terribly misguided policy.  There are millions of CCW permit holders in America who regularly carry, and keeping these folks out of ‘gun free zones’ has demonstrated that the only…

  • Government guilty until …

    George Rebane RR readers are familiar with the Rebane Doctrine maxim – ‘If something has gone wrong in society, government is guilty until proven innocent’.  The verity of this has been demonstrated countless times in any and every country, especially in America.  As our government has become the bloated leviathan that it is, the examples…

  • Scattershots – 20feb18

    George Rebane Ever hear of the Office of Financial Research?  OFR was created by Obama’s Congress after the 2008 financial crisis, it’s mission was to bring brains to bear on avoiding the next one by developing new prediction methods.  It “was supposed to anticipate trouble and issue warnings”, but ten years and $500M later this…

  • 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…

  • ‘Are We Free to Discuss America’s Real Problems?’

    “He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.” John Stuart Mill George Rebane This is the title of a recent major essay by Dr Amy Wax that initially appeared (here) in the January 2018 issue of the Imprimis, and was also featured in the 17feb18 issue of WSJ.  I bring…

  • Sandbox – 17feb18

    [I think I pushed all the liberal hot buttons in my 16feb18 post on school shootings.  So gather your continuing thoughts on the topic there.  And please use this fresh sand for dissecting Mueller's latest indictments and Trump's latest travails.  gjr]
