  • Women Taught to Shun STEM

    George Rebane While great effort is being made by universities and the state to attract more women into STEM careers, their massively progressive humanities departments at literally all of the nation’s colleges are doing their best to convince women to reject STEM.  The message of these liberal academics is, “STEM is only for those who enjoy “rote”…

  • Trump’s Trade War

    George Rebane Unless President Trump has something up his sleeve on the outcome of the current tariff tussle and ensuing trade war, I think our fearless leader is making a big mistake in imposing tariffs – and doubly so for “national security” purposes.  Perhaps this ol’ noggin’ can’t figure out this global art of the…

  • Our Little Corner of the Confused

    George Rebane Today’s (9jul18) Union highlights the impact of our county’s left turn with some choice letters to the newspaper and a confusing column on the First Amendment.  Usually the Union has better material to publish on their op-ed pages, but occasionally they must run into a dry spell and use it in fairness to…

  • Scattershots – 6jul18 (updated 8jul18)

    A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves. – Bertrand De Jouvenel George Rebane Liberal logic juries.  Reviewing some of the ‘Russian interference’ comment streams to confirm the kind of logic our leftwing readers accept and present as evidence that Russia did indeed throw the 2016 election to assure Trump’s victory,…

  • Media Bias

    George Rebane First, H/T to Bob Crabb where I first saw this graphic of ‘media bias’ before going to another site to filch a good copy of it.  Now I have several problems with where some outlets are placed on this chart, but I’ll keep them to myself until readers have had a chance to…

  • National dumbth on parade, again (updated 1jul18)

    George Rebane Today the nation will witness ‘hundreds of thousands’ of Americans demonstrating against what is represented as “Trump’s immigration policy”.  The demonstrations are sponsored by the usual leftwing anti-American and socialist organizations, and will focus on the ‘separation of children’ aspect of US Code (including our extant immigration law) that requires the separation of…

  • No Abyss for Progressives

    George Rebane ‘Progressive movement jumping into abyss’ by Manny Montes appeared in the 23jun18 Union, opening with the hopeful salvo – An extraordinary thing is happening right before our eyes.  The implosion of the progressive movement, and its complicit ministry of propaganda, our news media, are jumping head first into the abyss, oblivious to the…

  • The Diaspora of Dumbth in America

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Nothing in recent memory highlights the dumbing of the American mind like today’s hysteria about separating kids from adults (parents or coyotes) who criminally enter the United States.  Led by the Left, our news media, both lamestream and conservative,…

  • The Old-age Dependency Train Wreck

    George Rebane The baby boomer retirement tsunami is in full swing, and the number of working age Americans whose efforts will support the rapidly growing population of retireds is shrinking at an alarming rate.  Some significant verbiage expanding on the problem is available in ‘A Generation of Americans Is Entering Old Age the Least Prepared…

  • Ruminations – 22jun18 (updated 24jun18)

    George Rebane Dr Charles Krauthammer (1950-2018).  This man was an intellectual staple in our house for at least twenty years, and his most recent stint on Fox News brought him to our dinner table on an almost daily basis.  His towering intellect, expansive knowledge base, exquisite reasoning, and gentle, often self-effacing humor made him a…
