  • Scattershots – 27jul22 (updated 31jul22)

    George Rebane Biden, the killer president – When the tally of all the deaths resulting from his announced policy of abolishing our southern border is calculated, the numbers will now reach well over a 100,000 annually during his term in the White House.  The deaths occur on both sides of what used to be our…

  • Sandbox – 23jul22

    [I suppose the one-sided discussion of Trump’s purported lies and lying will continue (Biden’s lies are off limits).  Have any of the discussants considered what possible rewarding endpoints there are to such an ongoing debate that is now easily several years old? In a 2024 Trump/Newsom contest, who would ever want to vote for a…

  • Social Science Sucks

    George Rebane Harvard and Exeter social scientists just published a new study the implications of which go far beyond the answer to, “Did pandemic stimulus payments harm lower-income Americans?”  The correct answer was a clear YES, and for all the reasons that most RR readers would have predicted. The study was done professionally, involving over…

  • Scattershots – 18jul22 (updated 23jul22)

    George Rebane The Khashoggi murder continues to aspirate the pundits on both sides after Biden’s fistbump with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.  To me the whole affair is politically ridiculous and a diplomatic farce.  Khashoggi was not a US citizen, but a foreign national with a permit to live and work in America (among…

  • The Perennially Confused Grassroots Left

    George Rebane Imagine a country that does not recognize the right of their citizens to revolt. These thoughts were resurfaced by a comment from local leftwing cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb responding to ‘A Case for the Right of Revolution’.  In it he accuses those of the Right of “blowing up what’s left of the constitution(sic)”,…

  • A Case for the Right of Revolution

    George Rebane [This piece appears as my column in the 16jul22 Union (here).  It is a response to the latest in the newspaper’s thread of Second Amendment debates that started with my response to ‘Read it yourself – A well-regulated militia’ by a local leftwing gun controller.  To this I responded with ‘The Many Ways…

  • The Bitanic Presidency

    George Rebane The number of political icebergs that have gashed this presidency has gotten hard to track.  The only thing that is now obvious to all, especially to Democrats, is the irreparable amount of damage this president and his administration have brought on themselves.  But before we’re too hard on this incompetent Bumblebrain, we should…

  • Sandbox – 11jul22

    [Apologies for letting the last sandbox get a little odoriferous.  I wonder how many of our Ruminators are planning on setting up bond ladders for the continuing rough ride in the securities markets.  gjr]

  • Ruminations – 6jul22 (updated 12jul22)

    “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” David Horowitz re harassment of Justice Kavanaugh at DC restaurant. George Rebane Illinois Gov Pritzker typified the profound ignorance that most (all?) leftwing politicians have about guns, ‘gun violence’, and the effect of existing gun regulations.  In signing a law banning the sale and possession…

  • Happy Independence Day 2022!

    George Rebane Think of all the things that have happened in and to our beloved Republic during the last twelve months since we last celebrated our country’s birthday.  In this interval the country has again grown more apart than it has been since our 19th century’s ante-bellum days.  The two sides seek markedly different futures…
