  • Scattershots – 29nov21 (updated 9dec21)

    George Rebane Is it Offensive to Illegal Aliens to Refer to Them as 'Illegal Alien'? (here)  I certainly hope so.  But I'm afraid that doing so will not deter more of them from becoming illegal aliens, nor convince those already here illegally to go back.  Nevertheless, it is another concern that is rising to top…

  • Sandbox – 27nov21

    [While not overflowing, the last Sandbox was getting a bit dated.  So here's a fresh one that you can fill with holiday cheer, or not.  gjr]

  • Thanksgiving 2021

    George Rebane In spite of it all dear readers and RR regulars, we still have so much to be thankful for.  Jo Ann and I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving, and may you be blessed to share it with those you love.

  • Stupidity, against which there is no defense

    Fools all who seem it, and half of those who do not.  Gracian #201 George Rebane Executed anti-Nazi cleric and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer correctly maintained that “stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than evil.”  In America, we overwhelmingly confirm this daily.  Now I admit, sometimes it’s hard to accept this as the…

  • BLM laments Rittenhouse verdict

    George Rebane Those whose politics have no acceptable future, divert attention only to their version of the past. National Propaganda Radio this morning featured interviews with BLM leaders who claimed that the Rittenhouse verdict now justified the wanton killing of black protesters by illegally armed and militant white supremacists.  This outrageously false message was repeated…

  • Herding CRT’s Ideological Cats

    [This commentary appeared as an Other Voices column here in the 27nov21 edition of The Union.] ‘It ain’t what you know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know that ain’t so.’  Will Rogers and others. George Rebane Herding ideological cats is a job Union editor Alan Riquelmy is tasked with as the chair…

  • Scattershots – 18nov21 (updated 19nov21)

    George Rebane Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.  Congress has become aware of UAPs reported subrosa for decades, and openly in recent years.  Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is heading up the effort to create an ‘Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office’ to get to the bottom of all these UFO sightings and stories.  Her amendment to the National Defense…

  • ‘I robot’ welcomes ‘I quit’

    George Rebane RR reader and longtime friend sent me a current piece on the theme of machines replacing humans in the workplace (here).  The article focuses on the current labor crunch reported under the ‘I quit’ spate of news articles.  Hard to tell how many jobs are actually going unfilled, but the number is somewhere…

  • Sandbox – 15nov2

    [With today’s signing of the trillion plus ‘infrastructure bill’ the Democrat perfidy is made visible.  The bill contain1s so little (about $100B) for actually fixing roads, bridges, etc that municipalities are not prepared to issue massive new amounts of municipal bonds – usually a jurisdiction’s ‘matching funds’ to garner federal subsidies.  Therefore, the outstanding tax-free…

  • Extraterrestrials and Religion

    George Rebane Recently the Ignatius Forum held a session on ‘The Future of Space’ at our National Cathedral attended by theologians, government space officials, private sector space entrepreneurs, and academics.  Among the latter was Prof Avi Loeb of Harvard who is also active in SETI and a member of the international SETI group (of which…
