  • Sandbox – 17jul19

    [The Secure Act going through Congress will do a significant modification of how you can and must dispose your retirement accounts, and it will also open the door for the gummint to come in and tax a portion of it.  And we know what will happen to the size of that 'portion' as time passes. …

  • Scattershots – 13jul19 (updated 16jul19)

    George Rebane Thistle and Shamrock is a weekly program of Irish music on NPR hosted for years by Fiona Richie who speaks in a rich Irish brogue.  On weekends at our house we hear about the first ten minutes of it before one of us turns it off or to another station.  And that is…

  • Berkeley SETI Research Center visit

    ‘Any sufficiently advanced civilization will have capabilities that seem like magic to us.’ A.C. Clarke. ‘Where are they?’  Enrico Fermi George Rebane “The Breakthrough Listen Initiative is a ten-year program that represents humanity’s most significant effort to date to quantify the distribution of advanced life in the Universe.  Listen uses the world’s most powerful observing…

  • Dropout Derby Update – 9jul19 (updated)

    George Rebane OK, Swalwell bailed yesterday 8jul19, and today that in/out/in again Tom Steyer threw his hat into the Dems’ candidate carousel ring.  Tom Steyer will be #26 in the Dropout Derby, and those who wish can resubmit their dropout lists by inserting Steyer’s number into their existing list with no other changes in their…

    [Epstein, Epstein, Epstein – how many politicians will you threaten to take down if they send you to the big house?  gjr]

  • Loony Tunes – 6jul2019 (updated 8jul19)

    George Rebane To our categorical ‘observations and interpretations of events from the last great century of Man’, we must add a section in which, from time to time, some real doozies can be collected and commented.  We all witness and shake our heads at them as they appear in serious publications and outlets.  This morning…

  • Happy Fourth, if you can (updated)

    George Rebane This patriotic graphic was posted on last year’s 4th of July.  Continuing our national trend, this year’s celebration has gotten a bit more tense.  We now have invented and baked in the country’s psyche the national notion that everything ante-bellum that was part of American history is fair game to be attacked, withdrawn,…

  • Picking a Politically Proficient Heritage

    George Rebane Kamala Harris’ insistence that she is African-American, in spite of the Jamaican detour of her father’s lineage, raises an interesting and, perhaps, important point on how we claim our racial roots in this age of political correctness. (more here)  Not imposing any reasonable limits on climbing up our ancestral tree would, of course,…

  • Anything to undermine America (updated 7jul19)

    George Rebane The Democrats and their lamestream media are now in high gear doing anything and everything they can to undermine this administration and weaken the US in the eyes of its adversaries.  The first and most important victims of the Left’s lies are their constituents relegated to the low end of the bell curve…

  • Ruminations – 1jul19 (updated 2jul19)

    George Rebane George Boardman writes ‘Trump wants to turn the 4th of July into a political rally’ in the 1jul19 Union.  Students of American history know that patriotic holidays, especially the 4th of July, have been used by politicians – incumbents and wannabes – to meld their message within a patriotic mantle.  It is the…
