  • Control of Corporatist Oligopolies

    “America was born of dissent. It shall perish when dissent is forbidden.”  Anon. George Rebane Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, … arguably reside somewhere between monopoly and oligopoly in the capitalist spectrum.  It is very hard for a corporation that controls a dominating segment of a major market to become such a beast in a truly…

  • From my perch on 6 January 2021

    George Rebane A socialist imposes unequal opportunity, promises equal outcomes, and delivers uniform misery.  A capitalist imposes equal opportunity, enables individual initiative, and delivers unequal outcomes that provide the best possible prosperity to all. Today President Trump’s talk sunk the walk of the thousands of conservative DC protesters.  This dreadful character defect of his has…

  • Contending and Correcting Elections

    "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord."  Isaiah 1:18 George Rebane There’s an ‘open letter to the President’ going around the email circuit beseeching him to invoke the Insurrection Act, activate National Guard and the military to seize ballots and vote computers across the nation, publish all the secret evidence of alleged voting…

  • Signs of Our Time – 9dec20 (updated 10dec20)

    George Rebane This will be a category of highly opinionated observations from an octogenarian who has been privileged to witness (often unwillingly) more of the human travail than that to which most have been subjected. Innovator extraordinaire Elon Musk is moving his Tesla et al out of Silicon Valley and California to (wait for it)…

  • ‘I want Trump to die’ addended

    George Rebane [Apologies for the late posting of this promised follow-on commentary.] Thoughtful comments from readers expanded the scope of my 4oct20 ‘I want Trump to die’ commentary to encompass social behaviors that may or not be acceptable and/or legal under our current form of governance.  And this includes a wide variety of people’s aspirations…

  • The Durham Disgrace

    George Rebane According to our DoJ, in the spring of 2019 attorney John Durham was tasked with “exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign during the 2016 election,”  His mandate included determination of whether “intelligence collection activities by the…

  • ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ (updated 11oct20)

    “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”, Richard Feynman George Rebane Almost everything you’ve heard about Covid-19 (here also C19) from politicians, the media, and publicized scientists and clinicians is wrong.  Here at RR, early on I started looking at the pandemic with a gimlet eye.  I did this as a science professional…

  • Growth v Tax Rate v Revenues (Addended)

    The more you tax something, the less of it you get. – Fundamental tenet of economics rejected by the Left. George Rebane To the above we can add another truth rejected by all leftwingers – ‘Tax rates don’t impact economic behavior’.  Understanding how the Democrats ignore these fundamental aspects of economics, goes a long way…

  • Labor Day 2020 Laments

    George Rebane This Labor Day we again awakened to all lamestream media channels awash in various forms of anti-Trump vituperation and propaganda.  There is no talk or discussion of what the president has accomplished or of his second term plans, only endless repetition of the latest resurrected faux pas he uttered years ago.  Neither are…

  • Civil Authority Unbridled

    [Rev Dan Prout is a Nevada County Christian minister of the evangelical persuasion, and a friend.  He sent this thoughtful piece to a circle of his friends and congregants.  It addresses an important viewpoint shared by many concerned Christians in the land, myself included, and a call to stand for what we believe.  I post…
