  • ‘The Soul of Black Conservatism’

    George Rebane Scholar and commentator Jason Riley of the Manhattan Institute has written a biography of economist Thomas Sowell, one of the country’s most celebrated conservative academics and intellectuals.  Progressives accuse Sowell’s perspectives on race in America as “going against the grain of fellow African-Americans.”  That on its face is wrong, as Riley points out…

  • Systemic Racism in America

    George Rebane Systemic racism is alive and well in America, and it has been in a fine fettle for most of the last fifty years.  We have our progressive and Marxist neighbors to thank for bringing it to our attention, only not in the way that they have massaged the national message.  All of our…

  • Suppressing Climate Change Debate

    “If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.” - Michael Crichton in a famous 2003 lecture at Caltech. George Rebane The evil Democrats and their corporatist allies continue their massive nationwide campaign to suppress speech and the First Amendment.  Among their latest forays in this area of America’s public discourse is…

  • Retired flag officers break their silence

    George Rebane Having served in America’s military constrains neither an individual’s 1A rights nor his duty as a concerned and patriotic citizen in calling attention to a grossly misguided government.  To remain silent in such a case is, at a minimum, the height of cowardice and dereliction of duty.  Seeing the destruction of our republic…

  • Equality vs Equity

    George Rebane The latest socialist bamboozle is the Democrats’ new declaration that America is now more racially divided than it has been for years, and what we now need to fix our society is to pass new laws and regulations to instill equity across the land.  Forget about equality, we’re now told that is a…

  • In a country of wimps and wooses

    George Rebane We’ve been on travel over the last couple of weeks, doing a ‘southeast’ tour that started in Washington DC and worked its way down the coast to Miami, and then up the gulf coast visiting friends along the way.  We are currently in New Orleans and will finish in Houston after seeing our…

  • Scattershots – 21apr21 (updated 1may21)

    George Rebane In a democracy it's never the minority, but always the lightly read majority that votes in the tyrant. “… scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established.”  So reports our NIH here.  And it’s federal law that you have to wear a face mask during your…

  • The Futility of Searching for Common Ground

    George Rebane My original ‘Quo tendimus?’ piece (here) was published in the 20apr21 Union (here) retitled ‘Where exactly are we headed?’, I guess, to make it more accessible to the newspaper’s readership who are classed not capable of googling the original Latin.  The article immediately drew the vitriol, ire, and personal invective from a long…

  • Critical Race Theory and the March of Marxism

    [CRT is the most putrid piece of anti-American pedagogy to infect our institutions in at least the last 100 years.  Thanks to the Democratic Party, it is now rampant as it metastasizes the minds of our lightly read neighbors, products of schools that for years have focused their students on America’s sins.  Today CRT is…

  • Sandbox – 10apr21

    [Apologies.  Have no idea where the time went since the 24mar21 Sandbox.  Actually, I'm in the middle of presenting a series of seminars on numeracy and critical thinking, and working on the PowerPoints got me a bit absorbed.  Mea culpa.  gjr]
