  • Dump Trump? (updated 2aug15)

    George Rebane Columnists from the national (Victor Davis Hanson) to our local (George Boardman) scene have concluded that Donald Trump may actually be hitting a nerve with voters who are sick and tired of politicians side-stepping and mealy-mouthing important issues like the illegal alien influx and crime, immigration policy, and how to deal with a dangerous…

  • Another Moderate Muslim turns Radical Raghead (updated 21jul15)

      George Rebane Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez murdered four US Marines in Chattanooga before dying in a gunfight with police.  The FBI immediately took charge of the investigation, discovered some culpatory tweets from unknown locations, and briefed the President.  Our president then assumed his long-established stance of immediate amelioration by identifying this obvious raghead as just…

  • Ruminations – 10jul15 (updated 11jul15)

    George Rebane After carefully perusing ample evidence on the matter, I am sad to conclude as gently as I can that Board Trustee of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ms Linda Campbell is an idiot.  My non-accredited belief is based on following her previous public correspondence, and was confirmed this morning by a reading of…

  • A Look at Externalities

    George Rebane ‘We know best what’s good for the people.’ –  from the Central Planning Bible Lately several readers have been discussing the whys and wherefores of (economic) externalities.   It’s a slippery concept to apply as may be deduced from its definition. An externality is “a consequence of an economic activity that is experienced by…

  • The Liberal Mind – More examples of Reason Denied

    George Rebane In the 11jun15 sandbox a left-leaning reader pointed out the recent speech (here) of a California conservative assemblywoman who believes that God has intervened to bring drought upon our land as a corrective to punish us for our legalized practice of infanticide and abortions.  Another similarly leaning reader weighed in with his opinion…

  • ‘They didn’t create that …’

    George Rebane Late yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were at the annual company picnic of a recent high tech start up.  It was a jolly event held in a local park with well over a hundred people in attendance – the employees brought their families and significant others, their kids were running around and bouncing…

  • Scattershots – 18may15 (updated 20may15)

    “Islam was never the religion of peace.  Islam is the religion of fighting.”  Abu Bahr Al-Baghdadi, ISIS Leader George Rebane Indeed Islam has never been the religion of peace.  History and ongoing worldwide Islamist terror attest to that.  The above quote from a recent ISIS online video is just the latest testimony to a truth…

  • The Liberal Mind – ‘You didn’t create anything, the government did.’

    George Rebane The lamestream has been extra silent about the Raisin Takings.  You do, of course, know about Horne v. USDA that started wending its way through SCOTUS last week?  This is where the government trucks pull onto your farm and demand that you fork over a percentage of your harvested crop for which they…

  • Scattershots – 14apr15 (updated 15apr15)

    George Rebane Reading the papers this morning before running some errands in the flats, three little topics tickled my ire – which readers know is easier done than said. Columnist and nationally known analyst of international affairs Bret Stephens shared an insight about the liberal way of lying from our national scene.  He attributes the…

  • Continued Confirmation of Collectivist Constituents’ Cognition

    George Rebane One of the major RR tenets over the years has been that the voters, those who resonate with the promises and programs promoted by the Left, are more than somewhat stunted in their abilities to comprehend and reason about the issues of the day.  Admittedly these issues have become more complex as our…
