  • Dropout Derby – 11feb20 (updated)

    George Rebane Competition is getting tough.  The Estonian Fox is soaring, and our dear departed Russ has pulled into second place by nailing Yang’s dropout.  Anyone know what Bennet is still doing in the race?  [Update]  Apparently Bennet couldn’t answer that question either, so he also bailed today.  The updated graphics are below.  

  • Dropout Derby – 31jan20

    George Rebane Well, that sly ol’ Estonian Fox completely outperformed this not so sly ol’ Estonian fox by almost nailing Delaney’s departure.  Even my dear departed pal Russ is outdoing foolish me; I thought the sumbich would drop out immediately after he sobered up from his announcement party – what has he been thinking (or…

  • Meanwhile back at the Senate

    George Rebane In the affairs of Man ignorance trumps plenty every time. After hearing the Republicans expose all the exculpatory evidence the Dems withheld, their position now is 1) well OK, maybe our evidence against Trump is really not all that “overwhelming”, but 2) the real overwhelming evidence exists and will come out if we…

  • The Advent of Government’s Mega-overreach

    George Rebane Those who pay attention were made aware that Sacramento is next preparing a bill that would tax companies doing business in California on the basis of the difference between their CEO and median worker pay. (more here)  Portland already passed such a tax regulation last year.  Now you may ask, what business is…

  • Ruminations – 15jan20 (updated 16jan20)

    Temper your antipathies.  We seem to hate with pleasure, and even before we have looked; and always does this inborn and vulgar aversion rise against the most eminent of men.  Gracian #46 George Rebane On the China Deal, Phase One.  The Dems have been busy all day lambasting Trump’s latest accomplishment (having nothing similar to…

  • Dropout Derby – 13jan20

    George Rebane Well, I am relieved to see the socialist demagogue Booker retire from this race.  The man was a way too good-looking and smooth talking Marxist with the ability to bamboozle a lot of people before November.  He may still be a candidate for Warren’s VP, unless she wants to pick someone less rabidly…

  • It’s Still the Economy, Stupid!

    George Rebane While Messrs Smith, Bastiat, Mises, Hayek, and Freedman explained it all, Mr Henry Hazlitt succinctly summarized the whole thing in his classic, Economics in One Lesson (1946).  This book has become such a fundamental text, that you don’t even have to buy a copy of it any more.  It is now online in…

  • Dropout Derby – 10jan20

    George Rebane Marianne Williamson, self-help and spiritual adviser, and part of the Democrat menagerie of candidates, withdrew from the race to POTUS today.  From my perch, her withdrawal was probably for the best, since displacing the former residents of the Pantheon, the secular humanist Democrats have eschewed anything that might have out-evolved their own kind.

  • Ruminations – 10jan20 (updated 13jan20)

    George Rebane The Dems’ Chorus of Cacophony is now shrieking at Trump for taking out Soleimani the terrorist as a prophylactic for imminent acts of terror, exactly the same thing they blamed and still blame Bush2 for NOT taking out Bin Laden in order to prevent 9/11.  We recall it was Bill Clinton who declined…

  • Scattershots – 9jan20

    George Rebane Progressives’ public displays of caring social involvement will abruptly end when they finally destroy the economy that enables such displays. Joining the chorus of all Democrats, Sen Tim Kaine is a POS and a lying scumbag every time he opens his mouth.  Last night on FN he lied about there being members of…
