  • All the news youse can use

    George Rebane Ever try to find a coherent set of TV program ratings on the web?  I just tried to do it again, after avoiding the frustration for a number of years.  My sweetie-pie and I were having one of our breakfast conversations when the topic turned to a news article that cited how informed…

  • Retired flag officers break their silence

    George Rebane Having served in America’s military constrains neither an individual’s 1A rights nor his duty as a concerned and patriotic citizen in calling attention to a grossly misguided government.  To remain silent in such a case is, at a minimum, the height of cowardice and dereliction of duty.  Seeing the destruction of our republic…

  • Equality vs Equity

    George Rebane The latest socialist bamboozle is the Democrats’ new declaration that America is now more racially divided than it has been for years, and what we now need to fix our society is to pass new laws and regulations to instill equity across the land.  Forget about equality, we’re now told that is a…

  • Scattershots – 12may21 (updated 14may21)

    George Rebane Online cheating at all time high (here).  Getting someone else to do your assignment or take your test is a big business in the current epoch of remote learning.  Students cite the difficulty in learning anything in the remote and virtual presentations of material they are offered.  Others say that the stress level…

  • In a country of wimps and wooses

    George Rebane We’ve been on travel over the last couple of weeks, doing a ‘southeast’ tour that started in Washington DC and worked its way down the coast to Miami, and then up the gulf coast visiting friends along the way.  We are currently in New Orleans and will finish in Houston after seeing our…

  • Scattershots – 21apr21 (updated 1may21)

    George Rebane In a democracy it's never the minority, but always the lightly read majority that votes in the tyrant. “… scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established.”  So reports our NIH here.  And it’s federal law that you have to wear a face mask during your…

  • The Futility of Searching for Common Ground

    George Rebane My original ‘Quo tendimus?’ piece (here) was published in the 20apr21 Union (here) retitled ‘Where exactly are we headed?’, I guess, to make it more accessible to the newspaper’s readership who are classed not capable of googling the original Latin.  The article immediately drew the vitriol, ire, and personal invective from a long…

  • Critical Race Theory and the March of Marxism

    [CRT is the most putrid piece of anti-American pedagogy to infect our institutions in at least the last 100 years.  Thanks to the Democratic Party, it is now rampant as it metastasizes the minds of our lightly read neighbors, products of schools that for years have focused their students on America’s sins.  Today CRT is…

  • Quo tendimus? (updated 20apr21)

    George Rebane [My ‘Farewell Unity’ commentary was also published in the 3apr21 Union (here). Its lengthy comment stream made clear again that most liberals had trouble understanding my proposition for finding common ground.  Nevertheless, the piece has since then garnered considerable interest.  This week the newspaper printed on separate days not one, not two, but…

  • Scattershots – 11apr21 (updated 17apr21)

    George Rebane The attack on Georgia’s new voter law is turning out to be a national disgrace.  The evidence is clear – it is not the launch of Jim Crow 2.0, neither does is suppress black voter turnout.  As many have shown, in the 40 states that have similar election laws, the ratios of black…
