  • [In addition to the fine Memorial Day speech the president delivered at Arlington Cemetery yesterday, he went on truthSocial.com earlier and unloaded the message below that apparently reflects his true feelings, but on second thought was considered not appropriate for the polite company attending the wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown. gjr]…

  • We must now take seriously the possibility that it will be the resurrection of a shared culture, not its abandonment, that will make possible our continued survival and cohesion.  The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West (2025) George Rebane The Big Beautiful Bill is now on a rocky road…

  • George Rebane Given the choices I remain a Trump supporter.  I have voted for him three times.  But as RR pages witness and its readers know, I am not an uncritical acolyte of his administration.  He has totally misread what may be termed the elements of negotiating with totalitarians, especially those of the communist stripe…

  • George Rebane Trump is being played by Putin for all to see, and the man has finally stumbled into one of his blind spots, apparently without a clue.  In brokering the Ukraine/Russia peace he is announcing daily progress with Russia, who continues to bomb the crap out of Ukraine’s civilian centers, and dunning Zelensky for…

  • George Rebane This longtime Trump supporter and sometime critic is one confused puppy; today I have little to no understanding of what the Trump administration is doing in managing our economy, and what kind of foreign policy goals it is pursuing re Ukraine and China.  So this is a lament in which I bitch and…

  • George Rebane Today marked another malignant milestone in the US/Ukraine relationship.  President Trump aborted his much-publicized meeting with President Zelensky, and told him to come back when he’s ready to make peace in the three-year Russo-Ukraine war.  The intended objective of the meeting was for both presidents to sign an agreement that would serve as…

  • George Rebane I am distraught and shaken at the news of what President Trump is planning for ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.  It’s taken a few days for me to gather the gumption to get my thoughts down for the record.  Readers know that as the best of available alternatives I have supported…

  • George Rebane The Democratic leadership has discovered the evils of political appointees who share a politician’s ideology and worldview.  Since they have no recollection of their own politicians ever having done such a dastardly thing, they consider Trump’s appointment of Musk as his DOGE czar a true “constitutional crisis”.  In response their leaders are gathering…

  • George Rebane Long wait, but Trump was finally inaugurated. Most of the country, including the Rebanes, celebrated. There were scattered demonstrations by leftwing socialists and shills protesting the election and calling President Trump a “fascist”. The leftwing media (I watched CNN and MSNBC) saw no hypocrisy in their version of what happened yesterday. Only that…

  • George Rebane Yes, Jimmy Carter was a nice and decent man, but he didn’t cut it as our President.  What no one is pointing out in the media is that President Carter took us to the very brink of WW3.  At the time (1977-80) this precarious situation was a highly classified assessment within our military…
