  • Venezuela on path to freedom and prosperity

    George Rebane This morning the US carried out a law enforcement raid in Caracas to capture and extract Nicolas Maduro and wife, and transport them to stand trial in New York where they were indicted for narco-terrorism in 2020.  In the dead of night the operation came off without a hitch as a precisely integrated…

  • COP30 – Climate Hysteria on Steroids

    [This commentary was published in the 9dec25 online and print editions of The Union.  Recent reports from the federal government and UC San Diego highlight the ongoing and alarming trend in the increase of dumbth in our student population and young people in general. Since this is due entirely to the influence of leftwing teachers’…

  • California’s Tragedy of the Commons

    George Rebane [This commentary appeared in the op-ed pages of the 5nov25 Union here https://www.theunion.com/news/ideas-opinions-george-rebane-california-s-tragedy-of-the-commons/article_2e0ff575-d398-436c-bf93-87945880edce.html ] Garret Hardin published ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’ in the December 1968 issue of Science, and introduced us to the reality of how a valuable but limited resource owned in common will be depleted or destroyed.  The core concept…

  • Just Tolerating the Left is Not Enough

    AOC answers her critics: “If I’m so dumb, then how come it took me only three months to complete a puzzle that on its box was printed ‘4-6 years’?” George Rebane In these tense times, a faux normalcy cloaks the serious troubles afflicting our nation and the world. As I’ve long argued in these pages,…

  • California’s $8 gasoline

    George Rebane With most of the state’s refineries already gone, and two more packing up to leave, and with more planned refinery exits in the works, the state is heading for a transportation disaster.  The oil companies are uncertain about the reality of CA’s 2035 ban on internal combustion engines now being litigated.  Other states…

  • “Eradication of Western Civilization”

    George Rebane That is the seldom spoken yet common goal of socialists, communists, Islamic extremists/terrorists, our Democratic party, and generally of leftwing ideologues worldwide.  When confronted with this reality and its confirming historical record, today’s intellectual Democrat (yes, there are some) will deny it.  The time is not yet right for its public cotillion. Recent…

  • Scattershots – 18dec24

    George Rebane The lopsided lamestream fesses up – not quite.  Those of us not restricted to lamestream media news have always had a more complete picture of what’s going on in the country and the world.  Not so for our leftwing friends.  But now that the election is over and there is nothing to be…

  • Pre-Singularity Systemic Unemployment

    George Rebane For years these pages have heralded systemic unemployment caused by advancing technology.  The current strike of dock workers costing our economy over $4B per day is a milestone in this regard as their International Longshoremen’s Association, in addition to the usual pay increases, etc, also demands to become the gate keeper for dock-side…

  • Twisted Logic from Twisted Minds (updated 1oct24)

    Just as you don’t find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don’t find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.  Thomas Sowell George Rebane The appearance of the enthusiastic MAGA proponent Laura Loomis at tonight’s Republican fund raiser dinner continues to draw fire…

  • STEM education and careers – not for everyone

    George Rebane Our socially destructive culture has long done a number on students with the extraordinary capacity to study and make it in STEM careers.  Part of the socialist agenda for the US is to impress in the population a belief that we are fundamentally all equal, with all of us capable of anything as…
