  • What is ‘fair’? – one more time

    George Rebane The use of ‘fair’, as in ‘the rich need to pay their fair share’, is one the most nefarious misuse of language in the public square.  Oxford Languages defines the adjective as “impartial and just, without favoritism or discrimination”.  Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem (Nobel 1972, here) proves that in collective decision making among alternatives it is…

  • B-2s over Iran (partially restored)

    George Rebane [This 23jun25 blog post was mysteriously deleted by Typepad which they cannot recover.  I fished out a partial draft version of the post from the Recycle Bin and am reposting it here.  It does not include the two updates and graphics of the original of which I don’t have copies.] Don’t let an…

  • Sandbox – 28jun25

    [Where is the eternal debate going on politicians lying?  It seems that our leftwing readers gleefully highlight every Trump pronouncement that is in any, even minute, way flawed as an intended lie.  But they totally ignore the daily pronouncements of Democrats as members of the greatest perennial lying machine in the country. gjr]

  • Our Chinese Communist benefactors

    George Rebane [This post appears in the 9jul25 edition of The Union’s op-ed pages, retitled with the atrocious and confusing word salad ‘US political factions push socialism to achieve Chinese Communist Party levels of control?’ (Note the question mark.)  The newspaper also refused to include the accompanying figure which makes clear to the layman an…

  • Typepad has gone insane

    George Rebane I'm sorry to report that Typepad literally blew up on me as I was posting a new commentary.  It wouldn't complete the post, and when I tried to delete it, Typepad also deleted the most recent post on B-2s over Iran.  Am attempting to get Typepad to restore the latter and get their…

  • Polling, polling, and more polling!

    [This post will host the comment stream for readers who are forever interpreting and debating the most recent Trump polling results.  gjr]

  • Sandbox – 16jun25

    [“Five-minute EV charging, while ambitious, is being actively developed by companies like BYD and CATL. BYD's "Super e-Platform" promises 400 km of range in 5 minutes. CATL, with its battery technology, aims for even greater range gains in the same timeframe. This is achieved through megawatt charging and advanced battery chemistry.”  This will completely change the EV landscape.  I…

  • Hyperbiased Media

    George Rebane For years my conservative friends and I have shared a common experience when talking to a leftwinger about current events.  They all have massive blind spots in what they know of what’s going on.  The explanation is simple.  They only get their news from leftwing lamestream media which simply omits, minimizes, or hides…
