  • Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes to all who read these pages – God’s annual promise reissued.

  • George Rebane Well, it’s time to toot Elizabeth’s horn. Jo Ann and I attended the science and math graduation ceremony here at the Tucson campus of the University of Arizona to watch our granddaughter Elizabeth graduate with dual degrees in Neuro & Cognitive Science and Molecular & Cellular Biology (easy for me to say).  She…

  • George Rebane So writes conservative commentator Erick Erickson (here) in a piece in which he dissects Obama’s 6dec15 lecture from the Oval Office (more here)  We watched it with friends last night, hoping against hope from our President for an epiphany of situational awareness and national leadership – nothing. As he droned on, his words (here) ranged…

  • George Rebane The San Bernardino massacre investigation continues.  Given the evidence to date, the authorities still cannot decide whether it was just ‘workplace violence’ or the latest attack by Islamic terrorists.  What is reported by the news services – Associated Press, WSJ, … – is pretty compelling (more here).  We do know that – 1. The…

  • "… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."  Sun Tzu George Rebane It’s now hard to figure out whether Sanders and O’Malley are Hillary’s stooges or, more generously, her shills.  Last night’s Democratic debate firmly tossed their supposed contest for the nomination into that corner. …

  • George Rebane Today is Veterans’ Day, a national holiday with a bit of a convoluted history (here).  It started out as Armistice Day to honor those who served and fell in WW1.  Then through a series of congressional acts starting in 1954 it became a day to honor all veterans who served in the nation’s…

  • George Rebane Kudos to Mr Frank Pinney for placing a full page ‘Paid Advertisement’ essay on the PGW hoax in the 9nov15 Union.  He summarizes in one place extensive data and information (covered here and on other regional blogs over the years) into one piece that also has a distinctly local flavor to it.  Its appearance now is timely due to the…

  • "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." – Mark Twain George Rebane NPR reported this morning that conservatives across the country had a great night celebrating Republican and Tea Party victories in yesterday’s elections.  Meanwhile, the know-nothing local Left continues its happy dancing that everything to the right of socialism is doomed, and…

  • George Rebane We got home yesterday afternoon from a visit to Ft Sill, OK and Denver, CO, a trip that also let us catch up with a lot of what’s happening in the country.  Ft Sill is the world’s preeminent artillery development and training center.  If you are an American cannon cocker or tactical missile…
