  • A reader’s hopeful election assessment

    George Rebane Under the ‘Estonian Fox’ moniker, one of our east coast readers has been a regular on these comment streams.  He emailed me his filled out electoral college predictions in the spreadsheet format that I developed and made available here.  The first figure below shows his vote assignment per state at the various probability…

  • Scattershots – 31oct20 (updated 2nov20)

    George Rebane A progressive argues that America’s income inequality has actually increased under Obama, instead of having decreased per their national narrative.  This is shown in RL Crabb’s comment stream (here) where I contended with a typically snarky liberal about the Gini Index worldwide rankings.  I used a 2007 CIA table that gave GI =…

  • Biden Family Scandal Debunked

    George Rebane News media’s search for balance is an errand for hubristic fools. Here I am, writing this mea culpa with a red face.  Over the past week or so, I was among the millions of rightwingers who took in the news – hook, line, and sinker – about the business dealings of Hunter, Jim,…

  • Misguided Public Safety Power Shutoffs

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 October 2020.] Dear Gov Newsom – This is an open letter to you from an old and very disgruntled citizen who has spent the last 63 years of his life in this beautiful state.  During these decades I went to school,…

  • Scattershots – 25oct20 (updated 28oct20)

    George Rebane Exciting times, youngest granddaughter Fi just gave birth to Maybelle at Sierra Memorial to our fifth great-grandchild.  Daddy Shawn was there to catch it on the first bounce or sooner.  They’re not allowing visitors during these trying times, so our family's welcoming committee will have to form when the new mama and baby…

  • Journalism’s unstoppable ‘Leftward Ho!’

    George Rebane [Apologies for the late posting of this commentary.  My writing workflow always has several pieces in concurrent development, and sometimes one of them with time-dependent content gets overlooked for too long, but one that I still want to have archived as part of RR’s record.] California’s passing of a racial diversity law that…

  • A Purposely Politicized “Pseudo-pandemic”

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Today reporting on the corona or Covid-19 virus (C19) resembles a chaotic cacophony.  I wanted to pull together some salient factors that help me sort things out in this blizzard of mostly junk journalism, agenda driven by election year…

  • Scattershots – 20oct20 (updated 22oct20)

    George Rebane This afternoon the FBI and DoJ stated their concurrence with DNI Ratcliffe’s revelation (here) that the Hunter Biden laptop email scandal had nothing to do with or was any part of Russia’s disinformation campaign to undermine confidence in our November election.  The laptop emails are real.  Claiming otherwise over the last week has…

  • More registered than residents (updated 20oct20)

    George Rebane Here’s one hot off the press.  ‘New Data Analysis Finds 353 Counties With 1.8 Million More Registered Voters Than Residents’.  It appears that this is just the tip of the ‘voter irregularity’ iceberg.  There are 3,141 counties in the US, and these 1.8M 'ghost voters' are concentrated in just 353 or 11% of…

  • Deep State Agencies/Bureaus/Administrations identified.

    George Rebane According to Rebane Doctrine, when an organized unit or authorized agent of any of the three branches of our federal government makes a legitimate request for information from a federal agency/bureau/administration, it should be promptly acknowledged and its commitment to fulfill stated.  If fulfillment is not forthcoming for some reason, then an appropriately…
