  • Ruminations – 14sep21 (update 18sep21)

    George Rebane Government bureaucrats allocate capital better than private investors – fundamental tenet of the Left Newsom's recall is opposed by another progressive dimwit in the 14sep21 Union (here) arguing that all of CA’s problems were there before he was elected.  The ‘gentleman’ does not understand that the recall is about his making all of…

  • We have forgotten 9/11 (updated)

    George Rebane Until we understand and address the role of the swamp, swatting individual mosquitoes will not reduce our suffering. On 11 September 2001 we as a country vowed that we would never forget what happened on that day which took the lives of almost 3,000 innocent Americans.  Since then, we have built a magnificent…

  • On Our Road to Serfdom – 10sep21

    George Rebane We Americans have been on the road to serfdom since the launch of President Johnson’s Great Society programs in the late 1960s.  Our progress toward an authoritarian social order was an almost imperceptible creep during the early years starting in the 1970s.  With the passing of the decades, our loss of freedoms has…

  • Scattershots – 5sep21 (updated 13sep21)

    Geoge Rebane About a month ago in ‘The Criminality of Covid Care’ we reviewed a catalog of atrocious policies that our governments have imposed since C19 was first loosened on the nation early last year.  Specifically, the focus was on the denigration and proscription of the established anti-viral Ivermectin for both prophylaxis and therapy for…

  • Afghanistan – Tell us the truth instead (updated 4sep21)

    George Rebane ’20-year Afghanistan Mission Accomplished’ tout our Democrat leaders as they thank all those service members who sacrificed their lives in so many ways.  These politicians describe such sacrifices as having been made voluntarily by our military heroes.  But IMHO that doesn’t jive with reality.  Who among the sacrificed would have willingly done so…

  • We Live in the Golden Age of Stupidity

    Stupidity is always amazing, no matter how used to it you become. – Jean Cocteau George Rebane So argues Lance Morrow, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and former Boston University journalism professor, in the 30aug21 WSJ (here).  Morrow introduces a slightly different aspect of stupidity than the one used in these…

  • The Ongoing and Tragic Biden Debacle

    George Rebane Let’s face it from the gitgo, Bumblebrain is so out of it that he and those supporters around him don’t even acknowledge the long list of tragedies that this administration has launched in its first eight months in office – border crisis, national crime wave, confused Covid response, $3.5T Green New Deal, mangled…

  • ‘Illiberal American Century’

    George Rebane [This is a quick response to an essay by a noted leftwing academic that I received from a longtime correspondent and friend who sometimes tacks a bit to my port side.  I post it because the author presents a good summary of what continues to abet our Left’s ongoing expressions of TDS as…

  • Scattershots – 19aug21 (updated 23aug21)

    George Rebane “Since the introduction of Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms, China has what economists call a socialist market economy – one in which a dominant state-owned enterprises sector exists in parallel with market capitalism and private ownership.”  This is the version of capitalism of which many on our Left are so enamored, with claims of how such…

  • Afghanistan Reflections (updated 21aug21)

    George Rebane Diplomacy unsupported by the threat of force is nothing but duplicitous hot air. Has Kabul fallen?  For all intents and purposes the answer is yes.  How else to explain all those towelheads carrying their AKs and RPGs, casually walking the streets of that city of six million, while thousands are desperately trying to…
