  • Scattershots – 10jun25 (updated 13jun25)

    George Rebane Fossil Fuel Use and Human Progress: The Big Picture More here (H/T to reader). The Left’s riot lies are now historically astounding (more here).  And what makes this both sad and dangerous is that your Democrat neighbor completely believes what s/he hears from Maxine Waters, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and the other leading…

  • America’s Millionaires

    George Rebane [This post appeared (here) in the op-ed pages of the 4jun25 Union.] On average, all of us in America are millionaires.  In 2022 the average household net worth – assets minus debts – hit $1.06 million.  But that hopeful number is skewed by the ultra-wealthy.  The more accurate net worth of $192,900 is…

  • Trump trumped?

    George Rebane Given the choices I remain a Trump supporter.  I have voted for him three times.  But as RR pages witness and its readers know, I am not an uncritical acolyte of his administration.  He has totally misread what may be termed the elements of negotiating with totalitarians, especially those of the communist stripe…

  • Scattershots – 24apr25

    George Rebane Trump is being played by Putin for all to see, and the man has finally stumbled into one of his blind spots, apparently without a clue.  In brokering the Ukraine/Russia peace he is announcing daily progress with Russia, who continues to bomb the crap out of Ukraine’s civilian centers, and dunning Zelensky for…

  • Those discriminating selfish countries

    George Rebane The Marschak Colloquium is a 50+ year institution at UCLA that features world class thinkers, artists, and scientists as invited speakers.  Jo Ann and I were in regular attendance when we lived in SoCal.  As with academe in general, Marschak has drifted leftward ideologically.  The next scheduled talk will be given by a…

  • “Eradication of Western Civilization”

    George Rebane That is the seldom spoken yet common goal of socialists, communists, Islamic extremists/terrorists, our Democratic party, and generally of leftwing ideologues worldwide.  When confronted with this reality and its confirming historical record, today’s intellectual Democrat (yes, there are some) will deny it.  The time is not yet right for its public cotillion. Recent…

  • What are we doing??!

    George Rebane This longtime Trump supporter and sometime critic is one confused puppy; today I have little to no understanding of what the Trump administration is doing in managing our economy, and what kind of foreign policy goals it is pursuing re Ukraine and China.  So this is a lament in which I bitch and…

  • Pissing Match Continues

    George Rebane Today marked another malignant milestone in the US/Ukraine relationship.  President Trump aborted his much-publicized meeting with President Zelensky, and told him to come back when he’s ready to make peace in the three-year Russo-Ukraine war.  The intended objective of the meeting was for both presidents to sign an agreement that would serve as…

  • Is Trump going off the rails?

    George Rebane I am distraught and shaken at the news of what President Trump is planning for ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.  It’s taken a few days for me to gather the gumption to get my thoughts down for the record.  Readers know that as the best of available alternatives I have supported…

  • Scattershots – 6feb25

    George Rebane As most longtime RR readers know I am a child, student, and defender of western civilization.  And as most literate and reasoning people also know today is that our beloved western civilization is rapidly disintegrating around us.  Its portending doom is abetted from many sources, led most effectively by our educational systems and…
