  • Scattershots – 18apr26 (updated)

    George Rebane The Dems path to power is to expand their voter base by taking, say, $500 from a maker and giving $100 to each of five takers, thereby losing one vote while gaining five.  In its various forms this paradigm defines the Democrats’ only reliable route to election victories since they have no other…

  • Sandbox – 14apr26

    [From the 14apr26 WSJ – “When government rewards failure, the result is usually more failure. That’s been the story in Los Angeles, where the teachers unions on Sunday secured a rich new contract, notwithstanding lousy student performance and declining enrollment.”  For example – “Only 18% of Los Angeles eighth-graders scored proficient in math on the…

  • Mines Muddled in the Hormuz

    George Rebane President Trump, as is his wont, has again been sending a bevy of mixed signals on the disposition of the Strait of Hormuz.  First it’s sealed to all traffic, and then it’s going to be open to traffic not benefiting Iran.  First, it’s mined and we have to clear it, and then it’s…

  • The Barn Circled, Again

    George Rebane The Mirage of Diplomacy: Why We Keep Falling for the Iranian Negotiation Trap The definition of insanity, as the old adage goes, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. By that metric, the international community’s approach to the Islamic Republic of Iran has shifted from hopeful…

  • Scattershots – 11apr26

    George Rebane Large trucks marked with the Red Crescent and filled with stuff bought and paid for through the American Red Cross are allowed to enter Iran in order to provide relief for the country’s civilian population.  Many of those Iranians, held in eternal ignorance, now spend their days in regime approved street demonstrations shouting…

  • The 7apr26 Iran Cease-Fire?!

    George Rebane Both sides have cranked up their propaganda machines since the 28feb26 start of the Iran war.  The Right can’t do enough happy dancing to celebrate the military operation’s success, and the Left has seen nothing but an illegal, pointless, and ineffective offensive that has failed to resolve any of the claimed issues for…

  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • Sandbox – 2apr26

    [Governor Newsom’s empire of fraud.  From the California Post,  “The best estimates suggest that, on the governors’s watch [since 2018], fraudsters, scammers, and organized crime rings have stolen at least $180 billion from taxpayers.” https://nypost.com/2026/04/01/opinion/gavin-newsoms-empire-of-fraud/  California is home to the largest and most proficient collection of Democrat scumbags in the Union.  gjr]
