  • The Ubiquity of Bias

    George Rebane I am a biased ideologue (q.v.).  My biases, along with their reasoned bases, have been spelled out in detail on these pages for well over a decade.  No other blog I’m aware of has so meticulously presented its host’s credo and glossary of vocabulary relevant to the topics covered. Having again made that…

  • ‘Parents wary of critical race theory’

    [This is the second in a three-part series of articles on CRT by Ms McLaughlin.  The first was posted here on 16 June 2021.  This column appeared here in the 1jul21 edition of The Union.  gjr] Terry McLaughlin California residents may be familiar with euphemisms for critical race theory, such as “ethnic studies,” “educational equity” and…

  • ‘For Good and Evil: The Impact of Taxes …’

    [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…

  • America the Unnatural

    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…

  • The Evil Party Marches On (updated 4jun21)

    George Rebane You can fool some people most of the time; you can fool most people some of the time; and today you can also fool most of the people most of the time. As ensconced in communist Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the new Democratic Party has thoroughly embraced its dictum ‘Accuse others of…

  • Memorial Day – 31 May 2021

    George Rebane Most but not all died to save America from a calamitous tyranny; many have also died for America to remain as the world’s white hat hegemon.  On this day we gratefully remember and honor them all.

  • ‘The Soul of Black Conservatism’

    George Rebane Scholar and commentator Jason Riley of the Manhattan Institute has written a biography of economist Thomas Sowell, one of the country’s most celebrated conservative academics and intellectuals.  Progressives accuse Sowell’s perspectives on race in America as “going against the grain of fellow African-Americans.”  That on its face is wrong, as Riley points out…

  • Scattershots – 24may21 (updated 31may21)

    If "being shot is a risk police officers take with the job", then isn't being shot a risk criminals take when breaking the law? George Rebane Tomorrow our Left will celebrate the life of George Floyd on the anniversary of his death last year in the custody of the Minneapolis police.  The ‘celebration’ itself is…

  • All the news youse can use

    George Rebane Ever try to find a coherent set of TV program ratings on the web?  I just tried to do it again, after avoiding the frustration for a number of years.  My sweetie-pie and I were having one of our breakfast conversations when the topic turned to a news article that cited how informed…

  • In a country of wimps and wooses

    George Rebane We’ve been on travel over the last couple of weeks, doing a ‘southeast’ tour that started in Washington DC and worked its way down the coast to Miami, and then up the gulf coast visiting friends along the way.  We are currently in New Orleans and will finish in Houston after seeing our…
