  • [I was gratified to receive this book report from a dear and very astute friend who now lives in Florida.  For years he was a prominent developer and successful businessman in Nevada County.  A Stanford engineering graduate, he too joined the California exodus as our monopolist one-party socialist revolution became too much to bear.  By…

  • George Rebane This piece appeared (here) in 18jul09 Union when I was a regular columnist for the newspaper.  It was written in response to the dawn of the Obama age which already gave ample portent to the hard times ahead as he began stifling the normal rebound from the recession that was already starting to…

  • George Rebane [This essay kicks off Independence Day week at Casa Rebane.  Jo Ann and I installed our annual display of bunting and a large Old Glory on our porch railing, which always brings good words from our neighbors.  Perhaps you too would consider giving more than a nod to a tradition that has bound…

  • [Terry McLaughlin is a regular columnist for The Union.  This column, posted here by permission, appears in the 17jun21 Union and its online edition (here).  This piece is the first of a three part series.  gjr] Terry McLaughlin Parents are becoming aware of the use of critical race theory in their children’s instruction, particularly as…

  • ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane The country’s Democratic radical Left and Team Biden are prepared to expand asset taxes and introduce unrealized capital gains as another taxable form of ‘income’.  If they are successful, this will be the final nail in the coffin of…

  • George Rebane Kamala Harris has been Bumblebrain’s presumptive replacement before 2022.  The thought was that Biden would resign due to health or family or some other reason, Kamala would step in and then be the reigning incumbent ready for a full term in 2024.  It all made sense before the Dems and the country were…

  • [There are a couple of House bills that will break up Amazon and other big tech companies.  “One of the proposed measures, titled the Ending Platform Monopolies Act, seeks to require structural separation of Amazon and other big technology companies to break up their businesses. It would make it unlawful for a covered online platform…
