  • Scattershots – 9oct26 (updated 11oct26)

    George Rebane This year Republicans can only choose between voting Republican in the voting booth, or voting Democrat by staying home.  There is no other choice. All progressives believe the media propaganda about the administration taking eligible people off of government healthcare, people who are implied to be Americans qualified to receive the benefits. Whereas…

  • Post-Singularity is now Terra Incognita (updated 29sep26)

    [This post, without updates, was published in the 25sep26 op-ed section of The Union.] George Rebane The Singularity happened very recently while we were not looking.  Singularity?  It’s classical definition has been the event when a machine can pass the Turing test. This essentially required a machine to conversationally fool humans to think that it…

  • Our Dangerously Miseducated Misérables

    George Rebane Greatest threat to America.  What is the most insidious yet likely path to end our glorious republic?  It isn’t our acknowledged global foes, or foreign terrorists, or even native terrorists.  It is the terminally ignorant and manipulated voter, most likely under 30-years=old.  Today that block of American citizens are firmly in the Democratic…

  • Scattershots – 24aug26 (updated 26aug26)

    George Rebane Over-educated or mis-educated?  Hit to those who recognize that today’s description of the Left’s “over educated” young voters is fallacious.  The more accurate description is that most of these people have been mis-educated.  Their college education provided them no useful knowledge and/or valuable skillsets.  All employers immediately recognize a trash degree when they…

  • Scattershots – 15aug26 (updated 18aug26)

    George Rebane Democrat Xavier Becerra (54%) leads Republican Steve Hilton (37%) in the polls for California governor.  Becerra is demonstrably unqualified for the office, having literally accomplished nothing in his 40 years in politics and now promises to keep taking our state down the road to social and commercial ruin with time-tested ruinous policies.  California’s…

  • Wildfires Are Decreasing

    George Rebane The ‘science’ of climate change, as reported to an ignorant public, has been and continues on a deluge of lies and hysteria.  Globally it is undoubtedly the most widespread and influential scam ever perpetrated by special interests in politics and, yes, science to make money and gain power.  The most prevalent m.o. is…

  • Capitulation City

    Capitulate – to surrender, stop resisting, or give in to an opponent or an irresistible force, often under agreed-upon terms. George Rebane The Trump administration’s emerging strategy in the Middle East is culminating in what can only be described as a diplomatic and strategic disaster. What was marketed to the American public as a masterclass…

  • Let’s talk negotiations

    George Rebane In an effort to settle a claim, the insurance adjustor says to the claimant, “We’re prepared to offer you $100k.”  Looking obviously unsatisfied and avoiding eye contact, the claimant hesitates and finally responds, “Well, I don’t know … .” and trails off.  The adjustor considers this and offers, “OK, I can go as…

  • Another socialist’s intellectual blanks

    George Rebane [This post was published in the op-ed pages of the 23jul26 Union] On 20 June last The Union published my short piece ‘The MOU to nowhere’ in which I criticized President Trump’s continued attempt to negotiate with Iran’s murderous regime, which has vowed the destruction of Israel, the United States, and through nuclearization…

  • Scattershots – 12jul26 (updated 14jul26)

    George Rebane Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died last night.  He was a good man and an effective legislator who was able to work with both sides of the aisle.  This because he was a Bayesian – getting new information often allowed him to change/improve his position on issues.  As an influential supporter of Israel, Ukraine,…
