  • Victor Davis Hanson nails it

    George Rebane Noted historian, American classicist, and syndicated columnist Victor Davis Hanson writes a comprehensive column ‘Corona Meltdowns’ that details the demonic evils of the Democratic Party in this time of crisis for our nation.  He echoes and substantiates what we here have posted and discussed over the years, more frequently since the election of…

  • Testing’s Tower of Babel

    George Rebane In these pages it is always a bittersweet experience to encounter the extended comments of one of our progressive readers who so absolutely confirms their signature attributes, recorded here over the years, and at the same time illustrates their gross misunderstanding of the issue at hand.  Testing for the presence of the C19…

  • Fighting C19 (updated 10may20)

    George Rebane Here are some points about our country’s approach to fighting the C19 coronavirus. The main reason the media reporters and the administration are talking past each other about what C19 response policies to follow or even how to evaluate what’s being done is that no one is astute enough to put their finger…

  • Epidyne – At first blush

    George Rebane As promised, I finally finished the V1.0 version of Epidyne during this enforced C19 self-quarantine, or hunkering down period as it is better known.  The stay at home has allowed a lot of things to get accomplished on everyone’s ‘do list’.  At our house we have not had a boring moment – so…

  • Face Masks – A considered view

    [Dr Hullett is a longtime friend, colleague, and RR reader.  As systems engineers and developers, we have traveled much of the long road together.  He has given permission to publish this personal correspondence.] Wayne Hullett, PhD The coronavirus particles are too small to be seen. A doctor on Youtube suggested thinking about coronavirus particles as…

  • Scattershots – 31mar20 (updated 4apr20)

    George Rebane Happiness is being tested positive for C19 antibodies. The US has five times as many per capita ventilators as does the UK.  This was reported on the news tonight along with other real stats showing the comparative lead the US has over other countries in fighting C19.  Concurrently we have the Democrats doing…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 30mar20 (updated)

    George Rebane When there’s a problem, don’t bet against government as being its source. For the Rebanes today is HD23.  Given the comment stream under the 26mar20 posting of HDD, in addition to sharing my own hunker down doings, I am going to make this an ongoing repository of readers’ experiences, views, and opinions concerning…

  • Junk Journalism on Parade (updated 4apr20)

    George Rebane Ignorant, cynical, agenda-driven (you pick) media scribes and talking heads are doing a real disservice to the American public.  Their latest is the reporting of misconstrued pandemic data in ways designed to make the US look like an incompetent laggard in the fight against the virus.  Playing to an innumerate audience, these ‘journalists’…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 26mar20 (updated 27mar20)

    George Rebane When there’s a problem, government is guilty until proven innocent. Today is HD19 for the Rebanes.  We started hunkering down on 8 March 2020, and finally risked it all this morning by showing up at our local Safeway at 7am, the advertised ‘old folks shopping time’.  Apparently the younger people had not gotten…

  • The Value of Testing

    George Rebane Trigger warning: The contents of this commentary may not be accessible to the innumerate reader. As explained in ‘Testing, testing, …’, the value of testing comes to the fore when you have a sufficiently reliable test that can be administered on a regular and scientific basis over a suspect population.  In that case,…
