George Rebane

In a democracy it's never the minority, but always the lightly read majority that votes in the tyrant.

“… scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established.”  So reports our NIH here.  And it’s federal law that you have to wear a face mask during your entire flight when traveling.  Another righthand/lefthand confusion by government that no liberal in the land notices as they back more and more things an ever larger government will do to us.  The rest of us see it for what it is – perennially expanding state power and control.

Rebane’s “far right ideology” continues to be a characteristic of my political demeanor that is oft cited, yet unsubstantiated, by local liberals.  Now don’t get me wrong, I may have no problem being characterized with that label if I or my detractors knew the tenets of a far right ideology, tenets which I share as demonstrated by my published credo and extensive oeuvre of socio-political commentaries.  I am truly interested in getting some liberal of sufficient intellect to offer up a cogent list (it doesn’t have to be long) of evidence that places me in their concept of the far right of our political spectrum.

[1may21 update]  Not one of our leftwing worthies would/could? step up to the plate and give even one substantive example of my ‘far right’ attributes.  This, of course, speaks to the larger problem shared by our semantically simplistic Left.  They have no idea what are the definitions of the everyday words they use, like  ‘racist’, ‘white supremacist’, ‘white nationalist’, ‘misogynist’, ‘rightwinger’, …, and now ‘far right’.  To them it is all part of the approved narrative passed to them from their thought leaders – it’s completely acceptable in their circles to simply parrot, as long as you parrot the proper words.  And speaking of semantically simplistic, to them such terms as ‘socialist’ and ‘socialism’ have binary meanings.  If a person or country does not explicitly subscribe to ALL the attributes that define a socialist, then neither he nor the jurisdiction is socialist.  The same goes for socialism; it’s all or none – nothing is seen to progress toward socialism until its final attribute is in place and verified.

    Oh come on guys, The Punch is just bored. Try not to never forget that Punch said twice that the ONLY reason he comes here is to get you jerks all riled up. That’s is only reason. He has no other purpose for posting. It brings him joy to yank your chains.
    I often remember that when I skip over his comments. He brings nothing to the table except to throw food.
    Punchy is bored again. He really should get a hobby. As karma would have it, I am now sooo bored of him. He is the most boring person here and his posts rival none for boredom….except maybe mine. Funny how that works.

    Gregory, fish thanks for promoting our upcoming “Thousand Kisses Deep Songs of Leonard Cohen” show. Right now it looks like we’ll do a local show at the Nevada Thetre or Center For The Arts in Feb. to be followed by a performance at the Crest theater in Sacramento. Two years ago at the Crest the show sold over 800 tickets-almost a sellout. The show consists of 13 of Nevada Counties finest musicians and singers and has become an annual for 10 years (except for last year).
    For helping us promote the show like you have I’ll have a couple of comps for you for either show. I’ll let you know when the dates will be announced.
    Anyway thqnks again for promoting the upcoming shows.

    Even serpent head knows the socialist dems are in trouble –
    Democrat political strategist and elections expert James Carville told Vox on Tuesday that Democrats have been losing congressional seats because of their major “messaging problem” of “wokeness” and “everyone knows it.”
    Carville said he is worried about where the Democrat party is headed because of their terrible job messaging. He said look at the 2020 election where President Joe Biden “only narrowly defeated Trump” and came “within 42,000 votes of losing.”
    Democrats also “lost congressional seats” instead of picking up more during a presidential campaign year. Now, Democrats have the slimmest majority in the House. He continued to say Democrats even “failed to pick up state legislatures.”
    Carville claims during the interview the Democrats “wokeness is a problem and we all know it”
    When asked about messaging in the Biden administration, Carville told Vox he is glad the administration does not use “faculty lounge” phraseology. He explained “faculty lounge” politics is when you have people in fancy colleges using a made-up language that ordinary people do not recognize. For example, the voter base does not necessarily use phrases like “LatinX” or “communities of color.”

    PROJECT VERITAS IS STICKING IT TO THE TIMES
    This video by Project Veritas’s James O’Keefe is entertaining. O’Keefe is not a lawyer, but what he says about the progress of Veritas’s defamation lawsuit against the New York Times is basically accurate. The case arises out of Veritas’s exposure of voter fraud in Minnesota, which the Times labeled, falsely, as “deceptive” and “probably part of a coordinated disinformation campaign.” Project Veritas alleges that these and other statements by the Times were false. The Times moved to dismiss Veritas’s complaint. That motion was denied by a judge who seems sympathetic to Veritas’s point of view, and the Times has now been required to answer the allegations of the complaint.
    The newspaper’s principal defense is that the allegedly defamatory statements were expressions of opinion, like, say, “Blue is my favorite color,” and therefore immune from defamation liability. The funniest thing about this, as O’Keefe points out in the video, is that the Times’s denunciation of Veritas’s expose led to “fact checks” decreeing Veritas’s statements “false” by liberal sources like USA Today.
    So when the Times says you are “deceptive” and “probably part of a coordinated disinformation campaign,” which is it? Fact or opinion? On the bright side, it is nice to see the Times not only admitting, but affirmatively alleging, that its “news” pages consists largely of statements of its reporters’ left-wing opinions.

    ‘Biden’s Con against America’
    One-hundred days in, Biden’s radical presidency makes clear that his campaign was, in fact, a fraud.
    ‘It’s the unspoken Biden formula,” reports Axios. “Talk like a rosy bipartisan; act like a ruthless partisan.”
    Indeed, it is. And to this maxim we might add a few others. Talk like a moderate; act like a radical. Talk about normality; act like a revolutionary. And, at all stages, aggressively hide the ball. Progressive pundits have taken to saying that Biden poses a problem for conservatives because he is so “boring.” That’s one way of looking at it, certainly. Another is that he is a fraud. The man who ran on a return to normalcy — and whose party avoided unified Republican government by only 90,000 votes — now says he wants to be FDR. Heaven help us all.
    https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/04/bidens-con-against-america/
    Hmmm. Remember that time Biden said he watched FDR’s fireside chats on the television? That’s no malarkey.

    Re BillT 646am – Will any liberal admit that Biden is the biggest fraud as president, bigger than Obama? He told the biggest lie of the century (so far) of the 21st century in American politics – fooling the electorate that he was a moderate Democrat, and then showing his true colors as a socialist cum proto-communist during the first 100 days of his administration, and promising to do even more damage to the nation in the remainder of his term.

The Biden White House echoes the rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement, condemning America for “systemic racism,” and describing the death of knife-wielding Ma’Khia Bryant as “police violence.”
    Biden threw the southern border open to thousands of migrants, bringing back “kids in cages” (but keeping the media out).

    Also no one can compete with Trump for lying to the American public. I have mentioned just a few that cannot be denied. First his failure to balance the budget as PROMISED. Second his reform of health care which he PROMISED. and third his promise to rebuild the infrastructure which he PROMISED. And there’s the perpetuating lie that the election was rigged which in an outright lie and he knows it and you do to.
