  • Scattershots – 16jul25 (updated 22jul25)

    George Rebane Trump almost gets it with Putin.  There is no need for Trump’s 50-day grace period for the thug’s decision to come to the table.  Five days would have been more than enough for Putin to tell the world how he wants to continue his war with Ukraine.  But at least our president is…

  • More Revelatory Bullshit from the Left

    George Rebane Propaganda Broadcasting System (you know, the unbiased one) in its 9jul25 News Hour had an interview with the new DNC chairman Ken Martin.  The entire interview is available here. Among the usual nauseating Democrat lies, this time about the BBB, that this interview again laid on their viewers (no real new revelations there),…

  • Scattershots – 6jul25

    George Rebane Yellow journalism is the practice and bailiwick of conservative media.  I am literally nauseated listening to so-called “fearless” journalists on outlets like Fox News.  According to my lights a professional and ethical journalist will not let an interviewee’s obviously erroneous statements, diversions/evasions, and lies stand, and simply proceed to the next question or…

  • B-2s over Iran (partially restored)

    George Rebane [This 23jun25 blog post was mysteriously deleted by Typepad which they cannot recover.  I fished out a partial draft version of the post from the Recycle Bin and am reposting it here.  It does not include the two updates and graphics of the original of which I don’t have copies.] Don’t let an…

  • Hyperbiased Media

    George Rebane For years my conservative friends and I have shared a common experience when talking to a leftwinger about current events.  They all have massive blind spots in what they know of what’s going on.  The explanation is simple.  They only get their news from leftwing lamestream media which simply omits, minimizes, or hides…

  • America’s Millionaires

    George Rebane [This post appeared (here) in the op-ed pages of the 4jun25 Union.] On average, all of us in America are millionaires.  In 2022 the average household net worth – assets minus debts – hit $1.06 million.  But that hopeful number is skewed by the ultra-wealthy.  The more accurate net worth of $192,900 is…

  • California’s $8 gasoline

    George Rebane With most of the state’s refineries already gone, and two more packing up to leave, and with more planned refinery exits in the works, the state is heading for a transportation disaster.  The oil companies are uncertain about the reality of CA’s 2035 ban on internal combustion engines now being litigated.  Other states…

  • Scattershots – 22may2025 (updated 26may25)

    We must now take seriously the possibility that it will be the resurrection of a shared culture, not its abandonment, that will make possible our continued survival and cohesion.  The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West (2025) George Rebane The Big Beautiful Bill is now on a rocky road…

  • Scattershots – 15may25

    George Rebane “California’s poverty rate has increased significantly, with disproportionate impacts on Black and Laninx residents” during the Biden years (2021-2024).  The California Budget & Policy Center reports (here) on the continuous disaster foisted on our formerly golden state by the double dummy Democrats who inhabit Sacramento at all levels.  And it is getting worse…

  • The Matter of Abrego Garcia

    George Rebane Democrat lies abound in all sizes and shapes; they wash over us daily during our consumption of the news, be it from conservative or progressive outlets.  The lies about the deported gang member and wife beater Abrego Garcia have gotten a lot of mileage, and proivdes a lot of holier-than-thou comments on blogs…
