Month: March 2018

  • [The Union is on an anti-gun binge, led by editor Don Rogers' editorial (here).  More needs to be said about the hoaky poll they are conducting.  Let's see if they publish a mea culpa on how easy it has been to subvert the poll's count as reported by our commenters.  gjr]

  • George Rebane [9apr18 – An edited version of this commentary appeared (here) in the 9apr18 edition of The Union.] Do you want to see the latest on how the progressives plan to take down our lead in one of the few remaining areas of technology in which we are still the world’s gold standard?  Tolerated…

  • George Rebane More illegal aliens (Dreamers or whatever) became criminals when/if they worked on any part of Hillary’s campaign in 2016.  Federal law specifically prohibits foreign nationals from working on or contributing to candidates’ campaigns in federal elections. The records should still be there if they were paid by check or if they paid by…

  • [I guess tonight belongs to Stormy.  We have the DVR on and it's recording the long-awaited '60 Minutes' interview which we will watch a bit later.  I presume everyone is preparing their pot shots.  Perhaps we'll even have a thoughtful perspective about what our country has now become with this latest widening the rift even…

  • George Rebane A correspondent alerted me to an important new report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation titled ‘Global Warming – A Case Study in Groupthink’ by Christopher Booker.  This extensive report examines the now institutionalized global hysteria embracing the belief that humanity is in the grip of catastrophic yet heroically preventable manmade global warming. …

  • [Wow!  Didn't mean to let the last sandbox overfill with over 300 comments.  But lots of important stuff to discuss and provide links for, among the unfinished ones being the asymmetrical Cambridge Analytica turmoil and the latest findings surfacing about Mueller's doings at the FBI.  gjr]

  • George Rebane Colleges and universities will “soon begin to divide into two entities—the STEM fields and related practical subjects (i.e., business and economics), and the social sciences and humanities, which would start to shrivel under the weight of the degradations the left has inflicted over the last 40 years.”  So writes Steven Hayward in ‘The…

  • [The Miami bridge collapse embarrasses me as an engineer – such screw-ups are supposed to occur only in third world countries.  And then we find that this was a 'shovel ready' project from the past, designed by the nearby university, that took five years of bureaucratic buffeting before being awarded to a problem-plagued construction firm. …
