  • Scattershots – 27mar22 (updated 1apr22)

    George Rebane Unmitigated media bullshit.  This afternoon watching a news program, I was again reminded that most programming on the air that is advertised as news is nothing but third person rehash.  What fills most of the ‘content time’ on news programs is the anchor or reporters interviewing each other, patronizing politicians, and third party…

  • SEC gets into the climate change business

    George Rebane There is a serious proposal (here) for Congress to get the SEC into creating additional friction in the conduct of the nation’s businesses, especially in an area where it has no established expertise and needs to set up additional bureaus/departments to monitor and adjudicate newly mandated company reports, all for the putative reason…

  • The Ukraine War – 19mar22

    George Rebane The ongoing Ukraine war is a complex affair with many dynamic factors that influence events and the state (attitudes/assessments) of the involved parties.  These pages are home to a lively discussion and debate about the goings on in Ukraine and their worldwide impact.  I’ve made an attempt to simplify and explicate my take…

  • Liberal Hypocrisy Fuels American Inequality

    George Rebane What do Dems actually do when they have all the power?  The short answer is that they have created the worst states in the Union with regard to housing, education, taxation, homelessness, … .   And first and foremost, they turn on their political and media lying machines to deny what horrible messes in…

  • Ukrainian no-fly zone (addended and updated 16mar22)

    George Rebane Allowing Russia to exercise asymmetric control of Ukraine’s airspace during its unwarranted, illegal, and rapacious invasion of the country is a big mistake.  At every turn in this war and the lead-up to it, the west, led from behind by Biden, has been visibly and overly concerned about how Putin may respond to…

  • Scattershots – 8mar22 (updated 12mar22)

    George Rebane Probability is the measure of possibility. H&I fires.  The Russians are using an unusually insidious, deadly, and dastardly artillery tactic to kill fleeing civilians on negotiated evacuation routes.  The tactic is called Harassment and Interdiction fires, and are designed to deny the enemy free use of designated areas over extended periods.  H&I fires…

  • Pentagon teaches socialism

    George Rebane Promoting public benefits without including public costs is the hallmark of charlatans and evil politicians.  Accepting public benefits without inquiring about their public costs is the way of the useful idiot and the ignorant. More evidence pours in that our military under progressive federal governments no longer considers national security as its prime…

  • The Adulation of a Murderous Thug

    George Rebane With the horrendous historical preambles of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, the world now knows that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug.  What our Left misses or means to misinform is the manner in which many of us on the Right assess Putin’s geo-strategic actions, especially when compared in the same arena to…

  • Reunification? Fuhgettaboudit!

    George Rebane A dear friend of more than half century who insists he is a middle-roader and considers both sides before coming to conclusions had an extremely revealing but unsurprising email exchange with me minutes ago.  We had just finished watching the news, a great part of which was the coverage of Durham’s announcement and…

  • DHS ratchets free speech (addended)

    George Rebane The source of any problem you encounter in the public forum is more than likely due to some institution, agency, or bureau of government; bet on it. Political commentator Kim Iverson writes ‘Disagree with government policy?  Homeland security says you’re a ‘terrorist’ if you speak out’.  The Dept of Homeland Security is on…
