  • ‘Why leftists align with Islam’ (addended 1nov23)

    [Hat tip to a longtime reader who emailed me the article below.  The piece by Brandon Smith was originally published in Bob Livingston Alerts.  I post it in its entirety as received (with emphases in the original) because the views and perspectives expressed fly in tight formation with Rebane Doctrine as posted here in RR…

  • The Reprobate Republicans (updated 27oct23)

    George Rebane [This article, sans update, was published here in the 25oct23 issue of The Union.] Recently I attended a luncheon sponsored by a local Republican club that featured as speaker one of the party’s eight candidates for US Senate.  She gave a barnburner talk outlining all the familiar iniquities of the Democrats both in…

  • Scattershots – 4oct23 (updated 8oct23)

    George Rebane Detracking America.  “’Detracking’ is an increasingly popular proposal among socialist educators that attempts to reduce the degree to which students are separated by academic ability. It typically takes the form of removing advanced course offerings or delaying the introduction of these offerings. Supporters claim that marginalized students are often wrongly placed—or place themselves—in…

  • Redeeming Aspects of American Slavery?

    George Rebane One of our politicians, I now forget who, recently let slip the notion that American blacks have benefitted from having ancestors who were slaves – he stated that American slavery had bestowed redeemable aspects on those progenies who today share protected freedoms with our white population. Of course, the politician was immediately attacked…

  • Basic pricing rules in an insane Democrat economy

    George Rebane New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron in a 35-page opinion “found that Donald Trump and his family business committed fraud by making false and misleading valuations on much of his real-estate empire and ordered the cancellation of legal certificates that have allowed the Trumps to do business in the state.”  He claims that “the Trumps have…

  • Scattershots – 2sep23

    George Rebane ‘How the AI Revolution Will Reshape the World’ is an essay in the 1sep23 issue of Time that presents an excellent summary of how the advent of generative AI is launching “the greatest redistribution of power in history.”  Not only is this new wave of technology based on large language models sufficient to…

  • The Latitude of Constitutional Free Speech

    George Rebane With the upcoming Trump trials it’s time to take a more focused look at how his indictments for exercising ‘unconstitutional speech’ are holding up in the land of the First Amendment and free speech.  As a starting point I’ll take a leftwing reader’s comment in the most recent Sandbox. ***** George Do you…

  • America’s Numeracy

    George Rebane America’s numeracy has been covered in these pages since RR launched.  As technology accelerates in these pre-Singularity years, our innumeracy has become more of a critical factor in how we govern ourselves and our general quality of life that depends on our ability to create wealth.  For example, it’s almost impossible for the…

  • ‘The scariest poll …’

    ‘Freedom?  We don’t need no stinkin’ freedom’.  Anonymous leftwinger George Rebane The Pew Research Center released the latest edition of a poll on free speech that they have been conducting for years.  It contains the latest tranche of evidence that corroborates one of the longtime tenets of Rebane Doctrine – a major fraction of Americans…

  • On Higher Expressions of American Values

    George Rebane On this annual time of celebrating the birth of our land of the free and home of the brave a friend sent me a thoughtful essay making the case that today this has become a time of the year for somber reflection.  The reasoning was sound as the author pointed out the schisms…
