  • Scattershots – 29jul26 (updated 2aug26)

    George Rebane California sucks as a place to live and do business.  According to ongoing polling – e.g. latest USNWR poll – the state is the worst state in the Union in which to do business.  It also ranks in the bottom three in essentially all other categories such as cost of living, crime, homelessness,…

  • Another socialist’s intellectual blanks

    George Rebane [This post was published in the op-ed pages of the 23jul26 Union] On 20 June last The Union published my short piece ‘The MOU to nowhere’ in which I criticized President Trump’s continued attempt to negotiate with Iran’s murderous regime, which has vowed the destruction of Israel, the United States, and through nuclearization…

  • Scattershots – 12jul26 (updated 14jul26)

    George Rebane Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died last night.  He was a good man and an effective legislator who was able to work with both sides of the aisle.  This because he was a Bayesian – getting new information often allowed him to change/improve his position on issues.  As an influential supporter of Israel, Ukraine,…

  • And now Sh!t from Sea to Shining Sea

    George Rebane The Left wants to redistribute the wealth they can neither create nor understand. Gavin Newsom, a true socialist who has California in the toilet, wants the rest of the United States to replicate the state’s existential catastrophe in governance.  All the country’s outspoken socialists are calling for repressive taxes on the wealthy –…

  • A Dark Age of the Mind Threatens

    George Rebane Intellectual savant and libertarian Jeffery Tucker offers us some very insightful conclusions about “intellectual obesity” in his ‘The Backlash Against the Screen’.  He points the finger directly at the way high tech and specifically AI is being misused and well on its way to creating an entire generation of double dummies.  The downturn…

  • Election Reflections – 4jun26 (updated 9jun26)

    George Rebane Let me begin by again pointing out more of the marbled attributes of ignorance and evil that are imbued throughout the Democratic Party.  In this case it’s their support of California’s inability to present election results in a timely manner like the other states.  One liberal bureaucrat this morning argued that it was…

  • Scattershots – 20 may26

    George Rebane Where have all the men gone.  The Department of Labor keeps track of workforce employment numbers and reports that in the last decades we have lost a third of the men 16 and older from the workforce – they no longer even look for jobs.  The reasons are many – mental disorders, substance…

  • The Left’s Continued Attack on America

    George Rebane Correlation is the gateway to causality. Nationally and locally the corps of our loyal Lenin’s lads and ladies continue their anti-American drumbeat.  Locally we read a stream of revisionist lies and TDS-powered diatribes in The Union.  An example is the vituperation heaped on Barry Pruett for his recent piece illustrating the parallels in…

  • Scattershots – 23mar26 (updated 26mar26)

    George Rebane Millionaire taxes on the rich don’t work.  Massachusetts tried that in 2023 and lost $4.2B in state revenues.  A large number of the rich just high-tailed it out of the state.  This is not reported in the lamestream media, so none of the Democrat voters know about it and will no doubt support…

  • Socialism is intrinsically unsustainable

    George Rebane If sustainability of a government program is defined as its ongoing budgets not increasing their share of the country’s GDP for non-diminishing levels of service, then which of our government’s entitlement programs are sustainable? Which of the EU governments’ programs are sustainable? I presented the above prompt to SuperGrok AI.  And after its…
