  • A Leftwing Journalist Admonishes

    George Rebane Darrell Berkheimer is one of our more thoughtful, though still terminally misguided, local columnists whose current crusade to “curb misinformation” and “halt the spreading of lies” is at its apex with The Union publishing his 24sep21 and 2oct21 back-to-back columns.  His main thrust is to find a solution to the government allowing “mass…

  • ‘Most wildfires started by people’

    George Rebane In a recent exchange with Union publisher Don Rogers I lamented that since most wildfires are started by people, there was not enough coverage or interest in the attribution of such great disasters in our state.  Wildfires were implicitly treated in the press as if they were some kind of natural phenomena, acts…

  • Scattershots – 28sep21 (updated 30sep21)

    George Rebane In the aggregate and hands down, California continues to have the most ignorant cohort of voters in the Union.  Rebane Doctrine This tenet of Rebane Doctrine has stood the test of time and today continues to express itself at every opportunity.  No one can point to any other state that has been done…

  • Your Covid Factsheet (updated 24sep21)

    George Rebane The Swiss Policy Institute is a sober outfit that has helped compile a list of established facts about C19 and its pandemic (here).  Most of what you’ve read and heard about the disease is mired in politicized BS.  You have read a lot of the good stuff on RR posted by our readers…

  • The Canadian COVID Conspiracy: Dr David E Martin (updated 19sep21)

    George Rebane A longtime reader and friend sent me this mind-bending video on Bitchute of an interview with David Martin (here) who lays out the multi-decadal conspiracy of developing the human infectable/transmissible corona virus and the worldwide pandemic to create a market for its ‘vaccine’, which is really not a vaccine in any medical sense…

  • Ruminations – 14sep21 (update 18sep21)

    George Rebane Government bureaucrats allocate capital better than private investors – fundamental tenet of the Left Newsom's recall is opposed by another progressive dimwit in the 14sep21 Union (here) arguing that all of CA’s problems were there before he was elected.  The ‘gentleman’ does not understand that the recall is about his making all of…

  • Scattershots – 5sep21 (updated 13sep21)

    Geoge Rebane About a month ago in ‘The Criminality of Covid Care’ we reviewed a catalog of atrocious policies that our governments have imposed since C19 was first loosened on the nation early last year.  Specifically, the focus was on the denigration and proscription of the established anti-viral Ivermectin for both prophylaxis and therapy for…

  • We Live in the Golden Age of Stupidity

    Stupidity is always amazing, no matter how used to it you become. – Jean Cocteau George Rebane So argues Lance Morrow, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and former Boston University journalism professor, in the 30aug21 WSJ (here).  Morrow introduces a slightly different aspect of stupidity than the one used in these…

  • ‘Illiberal American Century’

    George Rebane [This is a quick response to an essay by a noted leftwing academic that I received from a longtime correspondent and friend who sometimes tacks a bit to my port side.  I post it because the author presents a good summary of what continues to abet our Left’s ongoing expressions of TDS as…

  • Scattershots – 19aug21 (updated 23aug21)

    George Rebane “Since the introduction of Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms, China has what economists call a socialist market economy – one in which a dominant state-owned enterprises sector exists in parallel with market capitalism and private ownership.”  This is the version of capitalism of which many on our Left are so enamored, with claims of how such…
