  • Mueller’s Perpetual Motion? (updated 10jun17)

    George Rebane Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is charged with investigating the Russian affair with last year’s election.  Specifically, allegations that Russia interfered and/or impacted our election, and more allegations that person or persons on Team Trump criminally colluded with Russia to achieve God knows what.  There is no evidence of a crime having been committed…

  • Ruminations – 6jun17 (updated 10jun17)

    George Rebane Hey, let’s rag on the millennials a bit more.  Every peek under the collective kimono of that celebrated cohort reveals another shortcoming.  Now we hear that a prime reason why their critical thinking skills need a little tweaking is that they’re not learning much of that in the college careers.  The revealing report…

  • On Healthcare – one mo’ time

    George Rebane Before any serious discussion of America’s healthcare ensues, we must first come to grips with the answer to this question – What right does any American have to draw on his neighbor’s pocketbook to pay for the repair of his health, the preservation of which he may or not have taken any prudent…

  • The Global Warming Religion Revisited

    George Rebane We are told the Internet is forever.  So this is another missive I want to put in that time capsule to inform both my progeny and future cyber-archaeologists that George Rebane lived in the Post-Intellectual Age of Ignorance and was not party to, but merely an observer of, the hysterics camouflaged as science…

  • Compelling Camouflaged Corporatism

    George Rebane Corporatism is the classical scourge of capitalism wherein privately held corporations, either alone or within associations, join with government to create business environments (e.g. markets) that reduce their risks from competition, natural anomalies, and economic turbulence through enactment and enforcement (by the government gun) of favorable laws, regulations, codes, fees, etc that serve…
