  • 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…

  • Climate Hysteria 3.0 (maybe 4.0)

    George Rebane ‘Settled’ is not an adjective to be used with real science. The recently released AR6 report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has injected new life into climate hysteria that seems to have been flagging over the last few years.  The usual hysterics are again up in arms with another round…

    The redistribution of wealth does not affect its creation. – Democrat/Marxist shibboleth George Rebane According to its director Dr Rochelle Wolensky, CDC’s new national mask guidance – even vaccinated people should wear masks in regions of high C19 incidence – is based on data from a spike of cases that occurred in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. …

  • Scattershots – 12jul21 (updated 18jul21)

    George Rebane Power outage on Hind Tit Road.  Unannounced, PG&E decided to turn off power at 1130pm last night, and then back on at 4am.  The transients did their predictable share of problems starting with no internet (the ATT modem did not reset properly) to our well pump controller deciding to shut off.  One required…

  • Global Tax Bamboozle

    Tax rates don’t impact economic behavior.  Leftwing shibboleth George Rebane Let’s start with an eternal truth, forever hidden from the lightly read and leftwing ‘economists’ – corporations don’t pay taxes, their customers do.’  Today SecTreas Yellen is Team Biden’s point on the easy job of convincing the G-7 countries to establish a globally applied minimum…

  • The Evil Party – more lives lost to the Left (updated 21jun21)

    The fact that Joe Biden is even considering opening our southern border to a group of unvetted illegal aliens in a massive caravan – in the middle of a pandemic, while millions of Americans are unemployed – tells you everything you need to know about Democrats’ priorities.  - Anonymous George Rebane In voices hushed by…

  • 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…

  • Scattershots – 28mar21 (updated 1apr21)

    Why promote a minimalist government – “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”  Thomas Sowell George Rebane I have to get a few things down for the record.  There is…

  • ‘Luxury Floating Real Estate’

    George Rebane Living on a huge manmade island may be the thing of the future for those who can afford it and want to escape from the ever more contested and politically roiling lands that cover about 29% of the Earth’s 197,000,000 sq mi surface.  The first of these islands is being built off the…

  • India Cracks COVID Code (updated 30jan21)

    George Rebane For many weeks now we’ve been hearing a lot about the astounding C19 stats coming out of India.  Their rate of confirmed C19 cases is shown in the figure below as compiled by Johns Hopkins University.  And how have they achieved such astounding results? The answer lies in the country’s taking a radically…
