  • Scattershots – 24may21 (updated 31may21)

    If "being shot is a risk police officers take with the job", then isn't being shot a risk criminals take when breaking the law? George Rebane Tomorrow our Left will celebrate the life of George Floyd on the anniversary of his death last year in the custody of the Minneapolis police.  The ‘celebration’ itself is…

  • Systemic Racism in America

    George Rebane Systemic racism is alive and well in America, and it has been in a fine fettle for most of the last fifty years.  We have our progressive and Marxist neighbors to thank for bringing it to our attention, only not in the way that they have massaged the national message.  All of our…

  • All the news youse can use

    George Rebane Ever try to find a coherent set of TV program ratings on the web?  I just tried to do it again, after avoiding the frustration for a number of years.  My sweetie-pie and I were having one of our breakfast conversations when the topic turned to a news article that cited how informed…

  • Suppressing Climate Change Debate

    “If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.” - Michael Crichton in a famous 2003 lecture at Caltech. George Rebane The evil Democrats and their corporatist allies continue their massive nationwide campaign to suppress speech and the First Amendment.  Among their latest forays in this area of America’s public discourse is…

  • Equality vs Equity

    George Rebane The latest socialist bamboozle is the Democrats’ new declaration that America is now more racially divided than it has been for years, and what we now need to fix our society is to pass new laws and regulations to instill equity across the land.  Forget about equality, we’re now told that is a…

  • Scattershots – 12may21 (updated 14may21)

    George Rebane Online cheating at all time high (here).  Getting someone else to do your assignment or take your test is a big business in the current epoch of remote learning.  Students cite the difficulty in learning anything in the remote and virtual presentations of material they are offered.  Others say that the stress level…

  • In a country of wimps and wooses

    George Rebane We’ve been on travel over the last couple of weeks, doing a ‘southeast’ tour that started in Washington DC and worked its way down the coast to Miami, and then up the gulf coast visiting friends along the way.  We are currently in New Orleans and will finish in Houston after seeing our…

  • Scattershots – 21apr21 (updated 1may21)

    George Rebane In a democracy it's never the minority, but always the lightly read majority that votes in the tyrant. “… scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established.”  So reports our NIH here.  And it’s federal law that you have to wear a face mask during your…

  • Critical Race Theory and the March of Marxism

    [CRT is the most putrid piece of anti-American pedagogy to infect our institutions in at least the last 100 years.  Thanks to the Democratic Party, it is now rampant as it metastasizes the minds of our lightly read neighbors, products of schools that for years have focused their students on America’s sins.  Today CRT is…

  • Quo tendimus? (updated 20apr21)

    George Rebane [My ‘Farewell Unity’ commentary was also published in the 3apr21 Union (here). Its lengthy comment stream made clear again that most liberals had trouble understanding my proposition for finding common ground.  Nevertheless, the piece has since then garnered considerable interest.  This week the newspaper printed on separate days not one, not two, but…
