  • George Rebane Our granddaughter Elizabeth received her PhD last Friday after seven years of research at the Department of Oncology of UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine.  She is one of the school’s research stars having developed a ground-breaking method for treating glioblastoma patients.  Glioblastoma is the most virulent and deadly form of brain cancer that…

  • [I think the Dems will put up a greater and more desperate ‘resistance’ to the Trump2 administration that they did to Trump1 and also the interregnum Trump.  The poor bastards have nothing else to offer thinking Americans – i.e. no policy alternatives that anyone who pays attention would accept.  All they have left is a…

  • George Rebane Long wait, but Trump was finally inaugurated. Most of the country, including the Rebanes, celebrated. There were scattered demonstrations by leftwing socialists and shills protesting the election and calling President Trump a “fascist”. The leftwing media (I watched CNN and MSNBC) saw no hypocrisy in their version of what happened yesterday. Only that…

  • George Rebane Democrats’ demonstrators are paid shills.  There is no end to the evil that this political party practices and foists on the country.  There is actually a booming business for outfits like Crowds on Demand who hire low-lifes to masquerade as concerned citizens expressing their scripted First Amendment rights in the streets.  And the…

  • George Rebane President Trump’s recent proposal for the US to reacquire control of the Panama Canal has created a lot of controversy – most on the Left oppose such a reacquisition of control as more American imperialism, and most on the Right support it on national security grounds.  Facts about the status and operation of…

  • George Rebane The Los Angeles area continues to burn after entire neighborhoods of the city are already heaps of ash and ruin.  What news has been concurrently emerging with videos of burning houses and hills, interviews with residents who lost everything, and endless ‘news conferences’ with obviously incompetent officials who have no useful information and…

  • George Rebane Over the holidays we watched a documentary on the life of Einstein in which his writings, interviews, and speeches were extensively quoted.  One of the social attributes that came out about the famed physicist was that he was a pacifist, more accurately an “active pacifist”.  In his pacifism he publicly rejected imperialism, colonialism,…
