  • Scattershots – 27may23

    George Rebane State Farm Insurance pulls out of California.  Another one of the country’s largest insurance firms will no longer write new policies in the once golden state where wildfire risk continues high and the state’s regulatory and tax environment makes the cost of rebuilding a house prohibitive at the permitted premium levels.  Bottom line…

  • Reckless Reparations

    George Rebane We as a nation-state have now reached the nadir of cohesion that keeps a society together and working to serve its collective needs.  This has been achieved through the introduction of a reparations policy for the nation’s black population, the cohort of Americans whose ancestors may have been enslaved by whites during the…

  • Ruminations – 10may23 (updated)

    “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”  W. Churchill George Rebane The tyrant’s last refuge of legitimacy on the world stage is that his brand of governance provides the best prosperity for those under his heel.  When it comes to the legitimacy of China and its CCP,…

  • Peeking Into Progressive Minds

    George Rebane As most RR readers know, the Rebanes have been in local leftwing crosshairs for some years now.  Jo Ann’s prominence in Republican circles – Nevada County Republican Central Committee, President of Nevada County Republican Women Federated, … – and her long hitch on the Union’s editorial board have reserved for her a regular…

  • Enduring Impact of Imported Cultures

    George Rebane As we anticipate the horrendous impact of abandoning Title 42 for managing the current tsunami of illegal aliens crossing our southern border, George Mason University economics professor Garett Jones comes out with The Culture Transplant (2022), a major essay on the enduring impact of cultures brought in by America’s immigrants.  In the book…

  • America’s Ingrained Indelible Ignorance

    George Rebane Union columnist Terry McLaughlin penned an important column in today’s (3nov22) newspaper titled ‘Perceptions and reality’.  In there she cited studies from academe and data from government agencies about the large deficits in what our adult population, which includes the electorate, knows about our country and what beliefs they actually use on which…

  • Thus spake VDH

    Civilization is fragile. It hinges on ensuring the stuff of life.  To be able to eat, to move about, to have shelter, to be free from state or tribal coercion, to be secure abroad and safe at home—only that allows cultures to be freed from the daily drudgery of mere survival.  Civilization alone permits humans…

  • ‘The Real Threat to Our Republic’ (updated 12sep22)

    George Rebane Over the years I’ve touched on the impact that the ‘educated’ liberal woman have had on our society and our republic.  My own experience with such people has been uniformly informative and corroborated by many readings on the subject.  I’ve been meaning to write a definitive piece on these females who pervade our…

  • California Exodus Refuted?

    George Rebane A reader and correspondent sent me the following article – ‘A Shocking Number of Californians Are Moving to Texas Unless You Do Basic Math’.  Therein the author cites data and analysis from a market data firm Placer.ai which sidesteps the long-running and well-established California exodus phenomenon, focuses on the California-to-Texas migration, and erroneously…

  • Need I be fearful of most black people?

    George Rebane My clear answer is yes – let me explain.  Yes, I am physically afraid of blacks in the urban neighborhoods.  They have demonstrated to all that there is inherent danger to life and limb in neighborhoods where blacks rule the streets.  This same sentiment has been publicly acknowledged by black leaders such as…
