  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • Scattershots – 22feb22 (updated 24feb22)

    George Rebane Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.  As of tonight, our weak and incompetent president has done nothing to deter Putin from re-establishing dominion over Russia’s “near abroad”.  The Biden administration’s much-touted ‘prompt and severe’ sanctions are clearly neither, as they are revealed to be low-grade-ore that even now hang fire.  Contrary to the administration’s abysmally…

  • Reunification? Fuhgettaboudit!

    George Rebane A dear friend of more than half century who insists he is a middle-roader and considers both sides before coming to conclusions had an extremely revealing but unsurprising email exchange with me minutes ago.  We had just finished watching the news, a great part of which was the coverage of Durham’s announcement and…

  • The Webb at a million miles, really?

    George Rebane The recently launched Webb space telescope will be able to peer further back in time and see more of what was then there.  As an amateur cosmologist, I’ve been interested in this new instrument for some years now.  It brings these new capabilities to bear because of its very large mirror and that…

  • Tangles in the Underwear (updated 3feb22)

    “Nothing good ever comes out of communism.”  Sen Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) George Rebane From the Biden presidential library’s White House telephone record archives – Operator: Justice Breyer, will you please hold for the President? Breyer: Oh sure. Biden: Hey Stevo, we’re gonna announce your retirement today, and I didn’t want you to see it on…

  • Check your PG&E bill (updated 11jan22)

    George Rebane PG&E continues to provide its customers with added dimensions of its incompetence as the power utility of northern California.  We have covered the litany of its poor performance in these pages, and now add another to the list.  The December bill arrived with a blatant and obvious overcharge for electricity not delivered.  During…

  • The “Insurrection” one year on

    George Rebane Calling and pursuing the 6jan21 Capitol riot as an ‘insurrection’ is the new litmus test for identifying those of the Left in America. Countless leftwing naïfs across the country – e.g. Tom Durkin (here) in the 6jan22 Union – are decrying the “death of democracy”, which supposedly started with what they call a…

  • Scattershots – 3jan22 (updated 7jan22)

      George Rebane Eight days with no power on Hind Tit Rd.  We have received the same lame information-less message five times from PG&E, telling us that they have access to our area and are starting to assess the outage to see what must be done to restore power.  Not even a hint of any…

  • BLM laments Rittenhouse verdict

    George Rebane Those whose politics have no acceptable future, divert attention only to their version of the past. National Propaganda Radio this morning featured interviews with BLM leaders who claimed that the Rittenhouse verdict now justified the wanton killing of black protesters by illegally armed and militant white supremacists.  This outrageously false message was repeated…

  • Scattershots – 18nov21 (updated 19nov21)

    George Rebane Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.  Congress has become aware of UAPs reported subrosa for decades, and openly in recent years.  Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is heading up the effort to create an ‘Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office’ to get to the bottom of all these UFO sightings and stories.  Her amendment to the National Defense…
