  • An Octogenarian Reflects

    George Rebane I received the following reflection from a friend who received it from another friend.  Apparently, this piece has been going around a bit.  I share a slightly edited version of it because it reflects the view of so many of us still alive after having already lost most of our longtime friends and…

  • A Little Brainbone Exercise

    George Rebane Here are a couple of problems that our high school students taking the annual merit scholarship TechTest may encounter.  The solutions require no higher math, actually only a little bit of lower math, and can be puzzled out on the back of an envelope.  You, however, may use a full sheet of paper.…

  • Thanksgiving 2023

    George Rebane In spite of it all dear readers and RR regulars, we still have so much to be thankful for.  The year for us and many of our friends was an annus horriblis.  But we are still here and Jo Ann and I wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving, and may you be blessed…

  • Scattershots – 19nov23

    George Rebane Trump’s intent to deport illegals here less than two years is considered by the looney tunes lamestream as being “extreme”, and further evidence that he intends to destroy our democracy.  So the questions again are 1) is it illegal/unconstitutional to deport aliens who have entered the country illegally?, and 2) what length of…

  • ‘Judaism and the Left’

    George Rebane Regular RR readers may recall the many posts in which I have questioned why so many people of the Jewish tradition continue to embrace all the various forms of collectivism – e.g. liberalism, socialism, communism.  This especially when all their acknowledged superior traits in the arts, sciences, and material wealth have been achieved…

  • Sandbox – 18nov23

    [Never lose your head, a matter of great practical wisdom, never to let it get away from you: it marks the great man, and of noble heart, for all greatness is hard to throw off balance.  The passions are the humors of the spirit, and their every excess makes sick the mind, it endangers the…

  • Flâneur

    George Rebane Years back in a book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (see also ‘The Antifragile Taleb’) he described himself as having achieved the status of a flâneur.  His circuitous description of such a person was immediately inviting to me.  I am a long-time fan (student?) of Taleb, and admire his depth of knowledge about many…

  • Scattershots – 11nov23

    George Rebane ‘Biden Keeps the Billions Flowing to Iran’ details Joe Biden’s ongoing treachery to undermine America and its allies.  I am completely flummoxed as to why that treasonous asshole in the White House is not arrested immediately with House impeachment proceedings pending.  He is openly and actively aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of…

  • Sandbox – 6nov23

    ["Last week, the White House issued an executive order for command and control of artificial intelligence, strangely invoking the Defense Production Act. President Biden apparently got nervous after watching the latest “Mission: Impossible” movie. Really. Added to the order were a mishmash of unhelpful notions like “advancing equity” and collective bargaining." (more here)]
