  • Dark Days Diary – 13mar21

    George Rebane In less than 100 days of Biden’s administration, we have already gotten used to witnessing the next tragi-comic policy coming out in quick succession before the dust has settled from the previous one.  Bumblebrain is totally in the tank for the radical socialist/communist wing of the Democratic Party, and the Left’s fascist mobs…

  • Ruminations – 6mar21 (updated 11mar21)

    George Rebane White supremacist hysteria has reached fever pitch among the progressive socialists.  Commenter BillT @ 835am cites (here) the dean of Arizona State University who announced that characteristics of precision, timeliness, quality expression (e.g. good written English), good work ethic, etc are all part and parcel of “white racial habitus” which perpetuates “white language…

  • A Sad Commentary About Unity

    George Rebane In his inauguration speech President Joe Biden went out of his way to emphasize and promise that his would be the administration to heal the chasm that separates Americans and bring us together again – he would unite us all.  From the policy statements that his WH started to issue immediately put paid…

  • Scattershots – 26feb21 (updated 27feb21)

    George Rebane ‘Masks don’t work and are damaging to health’ concludes another panel of concerned physicians (here).  “The only randomized control studies that have ever been done on masks show that they don’t work”, stated Dr Eric Nepute, one of the three physicians on the ‘Unmasking Covid-19’ panel who further agreed with the now widely…

  • Progressives Big Lie #7519 – Texas Power Debacle

    George Rebane The 24feb21 Union ran this cartoon on its op-ed pages. From this the newspaper’s uninformed and progressive readers have the clear takeaway that the Texas electric grid is in disarray and dysfunctional, as the recent blizzard demonstrated, because the electricity market is too ‘free’ and unregulated.  The disaster that hit Texans, and from…

  • Updating Beliefs, Knowledge, and Facts

    George Rebane I’m working on a piece that describes in a more formal and specific sense how people can have their own opinions AND facts, given that they all formulate or update them from the same body of newly arrived evidence.  How can that be?  The answer to that question also goes a long way…

  • Dark Days Diary – 21 feb21

    George Rebane Litmus test for liberal mentality.  There is a very reliable test to identify a person sporting a well-developed liberal persuasion.  It can be administered within the comfortable confines of a casual conversation about almost anything socio-political.  A few questions about the person’s viewpoint or perspective, which can then be mildly challenged, will quickly…

  • $15/hr Dumbth on the March

    You always get less of what you tax more.  Eternal Truth #461 George Rebane For some years now RR has chronicled and mourned America’s decline in intellectual resources and critical thinking skills.  This national dash to dumbth continues (nay, accelerates) as a purposeful process by progressives who have carefully husbanded public education at ALL levels…

  • California Catastrophe Chronicles – 17feb21 (updated 19feb21)

    George Rebane It’s time to start a new feature on RR now that the country’s market-mangling socialists-in-denial are in charge, both in super-majority California, and now in Washington DC.  Add to that the other Democrat-dominated states that look to California to ‘lead the way’ with the march to Marxism, and you’re looking at a perfect…

  • That Which Must Not Be Known

    George Rebane In free societies merit and its reward will always seek a commensurate level. As we enter the Biden years, America’s Left has a once in a lifetime opportunity to permanently tip the scales and guide the country into the Marxist future they have been seeking since the Bolshevik Revolution a century ago.  Following…
