  • Media Structured Chaos

    George Rebane Trump’s temporary travel ban created “chaos” caused by demonstrators. Europe’s leaders castigated Trump while they build walls to keep Muslims out. No one brought up the president’s constitutional obligation to secure the country nor quoted the specific US Code that enables him to lawfully do exactly what he did that also duplicated bipartisan…

  • Calexit and the Great Divide

    Not all liberals are stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they try to think. George Rebane [An edited and ‘liberally’ criticized version of this post was published (here) in the 4feb17 issue of The Union.  I answer my critics here.] Well, it’s now official – multi-kulti does not work.  There are limits to cultural differences…

  • Ruminations – 28jan17 (updated)

    George Rebane The progressive media pundits and political cartoonists have gotten a reprieve on creativity.  For at least the next four years they will each get a pass by posting a Trash Trump piece.  I suppose that’s only fair, but while the conservatives didn’t have that latitude with our recently retired Sec8 president, they did…

  • ‘A High-Tech Rebirth From Higher Ed’s Ruins’

    George Rebane Dr David Gelernter, professor of computer science at Yale and one of my favorite systems guys, writes the title article (here) in today’s (23jan17) WSJ.  It is an important look into the near future of higher education, and reflects everything we have been talking about in these pages – in short, I agree…

  • Scattershots – 12jan17

    George Rebane In the aggregate, Millennials lack social skills.  So conclude a number of studies as reported by NPR this morning.  This adds to the list of significant deficits that our new generation has demonstrated (also reported here, here, here, and here).  Most noteworthy are the problems that social services agencies, the military, and law…

  • Ruminations – 5jan17 (updated 6jan17)

    Not the village constable. There are men of evil mind, who would make of everything a crime, and not because of passion, but just naturally.  Gracian #109 George Rebane WSJ editor-in-chief Gerard Baker contributes a worthy analysis and commentary in his ‘Trump, Lies and Honest Journalism’.  Therein he touches on and corroborates a RR piece…

  • New S#!t List of “creative and liberal minded” artists

    George Rebane The Left’s raw hatred of President-elect Trump and his supporters knows no bounds.  The man is not yet sworn in, and already leftwing artists are going out of their way to proclaim that they will not perform at his inaugural.  Not long ago, being asked to perform at a presidential event was considered…

  • Counting Our Blessings

    George Rebane Looking forward to a family gathering at Casa Rebane, Jo Ann and I wish all of our readers and their families a most happy and meaningful Thanksgiving.  We live in a land still blessed.  Here are a couple of related readings appropriate for the holiday – ‘The Desolate Wilderness’, ‘And the Fair Land’.

  • Working for a post-American future

    George Rebane Recent email revelations have put paid on the longheld conclusion that America’s Left is actively working to take us into a post-American future.  This view is underwritten by most on the Right and many on the Left.  The entire proposition is wrapped up in the widely accepted notion of an evolving America.  Currently…

  • Scattershots – 22oct16 (updated 23oct16)

    George Rebane Dan Henninger’s ‘Dumb and Dumber’ is a corroborating essay on the relentless growth of ‘dumbth’ in America.  As technology accelerates, the failures of government unionized schools grow more impactive on our social order in everything from understanding governance to finding a job.  President Obama, the Left’s penultimate liar (now overshadowed by HRC) continues…
