  • Scattershots – 23dec19

    George Rebane The persecution of Christians, almost overwhelmingly by Muslim extremists in their lands, and leftwing secular humanists in more civilized regions, is picking up steam.  The latest of about which the lamestream is silent today goes on in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country.  There the Fulani Muslims have taken up gun and machetes against…

  • Scattershots – 10dec19 (updated 16dec19)

    George Rebane Factory workers now starting to require college degrees – ‘American Factories Demand White-Collar Education for Blue-Collar Work’.  We saw this coming some years back in these pages and described the process in some graphic detail (here).   Given the acceleration of technology in general and AI in particular, that was not a hard prognostication…

  • A Different and Dangerous Impeachment

    George Rebane ‘This Impeachment Is Different – and More Dangerous’ writes Lawrence Lessig in Politico.  He is currently the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School, and according to my lights tilts a bit to the left.  But he has penned an insightful piece that more or less flies in…

  • Dropout Derby – 3dec19

    George Rebane It’s a relief to see that no-count Kamala Harris get out of the race.  To indicate the level of politicians who cause grief to California, given Hillary or Kamala, I would take Hillary in a heartbeat.  And now that the Christmas season is upon us, I expect a lot more of the Dem…

  • Democrats’ Big Lie #4688 – Voter Suppression

    George Rebane Voter fraud in America is real and bipartisan according to evidence presented by the Heritage Foundation.  To combat voter fraud, states have instituted “voter identification laws and programs to clean up wildly inaccurate voter rolls to help verify that only eligible individuals are voting, and that they are casting ballots in the jurisdictions where…

  • Scattershots – 29nov19 (updated 30nov19)

    George Rebane Recent correspondence with Russ Steele – astute observer of the human condition, especially in Washington DC and Sacramento – brings to mind some thoughts about two particular items. Gov Gavin Newsome confirms his scumbag politician credentials by issuing an executive order “meant to sharpen the state’s focus – and its spending – on…

  • Dropout Derby – 27nov19

    George Rebane Wayne Messam (who??) drops out. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/20/democrat-wayne-messam-dropped-out-of-the-2020-presidential-race.html

  • President Warren’s War on America

    George Rebane You can only control that which you can measure. Democrat candidate Elizabeth Warren has drawn up extensive plans to reduce the United States into a socialist second world country on its inevitable slide into full blown communism, which is the ultimate goal (whether they call it that or not) of at least half…

  • Millionaires Surtax on Steroids

    George Rebane Should the Democrats win in 2020, the country will suffer a spate of confiscatory tax increases on virtually every aspect of our economic activities.  One of their recent additions to taking your earnings and belongings is the Millionaires Surtax sponsored by Sen Van Hollen and Rep Beyer of Maryland.  This would levy an…

  • Ruminations – 21nov19 (updated 22nov19)

    George Rebane Those creative Dems on Team Schiff have again expanded the definition of ‘evidence’.  The initial expansion qualified 'allegations' for inclusion. And from yesterday’s hearings we learned that ‘perceptions’ have now joined the ranks of culpable evidence.  For those paying attention, ‘feelings’ are waiting in the wings, and are next to shoulder and again…
