  • George Rebane Recent email revelations have put paid on the longheld conclusion that America’s Left is actively working to take us into a post-American future.  This view is underwritten by most on the Right and many on the Left.  The entire proposition is wrapped up in the widely accepted notion of an evolving America.  Currently…

  • [This commentary was submitted by RR reader and correspondent Mr Norm Sauer who is also a member of The Union’s Editorial Board.  His writings have graced these pages before, and today’s contribution is a spirited assessment of our future under Hillary that concludes with a compelling endorsement of Donald Trump for president. This piece also…

  • George Rebane Ever wonder why the IRS has not audited the Clinton Foundation?  You are not alone as that organization’s true nature has been revealed over the last 18 months.  Things got so bad last year to worry Chelsea enough about the foundation’s shenanigans that she hired a top-tier law firm to do an internal…

  • George Rebane While I’m working on a piece to again attempt – more graphically this time – to explain the fragility of highly categorized poll results, the news of the election’s uncertain outcome pours in.  Readers should take special note of the financial markets in which the big kids such as the very wealthy, institutional…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 October 2016.] Today’s polls, rigged or not, make it look like Hillary Clinton will be our next president.  Donald Trump has made about every mistake possible on the campaign trail, and most would agree that any of the other 16 Republican…

  • George Rebane Shorten your search for the cause of all social problems by first ferreting out how government is involved. As we all knew back in 2010, the Democrats’ Affordable Care Act would create a government system that was neither affordable nor would provide the needed healthcare.  Today after six years of covered up collapse…

  • George Rebane I want to get this post up in a timely manner for tonight’s last debate of the most fractious political season since the Confederates finally decided to open fire on Ft Sumter.  In my decades I have never seen the country so frustrated and choose our candidates so unwisely.  For the Left, the…

  • George Rebane The progressive plague is well on its way into the STEM fields, seeking to put their moralizing stamp on what our STEM workers should (and ultimately can) think about and work on.  The same progressive pinheads have finally concluded that the discoveries of science and the developments of engineering are not ‘value neutral’…

  • George Rebane ‘The Press Buries Clinton’s Sins’ writes WSJ’s Kim Strassel as she outlines the overwhelmingly one-sided reporting “as reporters focus on Trump, the miss new details on Clinton’s rotten record.”  By “miss” she means pernicious failure to report the daily mounting evidence that defines the public record of Hillary’s actions, actions which for others…

  • [Under the same title this piece by Ms Annamaria Sauer was published in the 8oct16 edition of The Union.  Ms Sauer emailed the article and at her request it is happily posted here as received.  The Sauers are friends, and as an ethnic Estonian I share an ancient relationship with Annamaria the ethnic Hungarian for…
