  • George Rebane Trump and Putin without Zelinsky will provide us a new perspective on pissing in the wind.  Don’t know why The Donald is setting himself up for a failure in Alaska.  Putin can’t back-off giving back conquered Ukrainian territory, and the West can’t afford to have Putin have another success in restoring USSR’s boundaries. …

  • George Rebane OK boys and girls, it’s time to take a break from our socio-political harangues and debates, and delve into something more intellectual yet delightfully accessible.  The figure contains a 10-by-10 network of nodes each identified by their blue numbers from 1 to 100.  The related red numbers denote the cost of traversing that…

  • George Rebane [This 23jun25 blog post was mysteriously deleted by Typepad which they cannot recover.  I fished out a partial draft version of the post from the Recycle Bin and am reposting it here.  It does not include the two updates and graphics of the original of which I don’t have copies.] Don’t let an…

  • [Where is the eternal debate going on politicians lying?  It seems that our leftwing readers gleefully highlight every Trump pronouncement that is in any, even minute, way flawed as an intended lie.  But they totally ignore the daily pronouncements of Democrats as members of the greatest perennial lying machine in the country. gjr]

  • George Rebane Not all California politicians are double dummies, but enough of them are to have put in place horrible public policies mis-designed to preserve our lands and quality of life.  The main fault, of course, lies with our dismally ignorant electorate who year after year have voted these clowns into office.  But we also…

  • George Rebane We all know how asymmetrical are the lies from both sides in the media and by politicians.  The Right and Left can’t even agree on the definition of which lies (exaggerations?) are consequential, hence ‘Big’, and which are incidental pabulum and of no moment in the public forum. While legion in number, certain…

  • George Rebane Here is a tabular view of the earners from which the feds get their tax revenues.  As shown, these rates/shares are claimed by socialists to require adjustment (read ‘huge increases’) so that “the rich will pay their fair share”.  What numbers would you like to see changed?  (Click on figure) The figure below…

  • George Rebane This year Jo Ann and I wish our readers a very special, carefully conducted and happy Thanksgiving.  It has not been the best of years, and for the first time in several years we apprehensively face a very uncertain future for our beloved country and for our families, friends, and loved ones –…

  • George Rebane As most on the Right and Left understand, the country’s command and control collectivists see the Covid-19 pandemic as a godsend.  Given the educational state of our electorate, there are enough cognitively deficient voters out there to swallow unhesitatingly the socialist propaganda which today blankets their waking hours.  The viral scourge could not…
