  • Our Socialists Are Pissed

    George Rebane The ground shaking shock of 8 November 2016 is not going away; it is getting stronger if anything.  And as Team Trump unveils more of its projected policies and planned programs, America’s socialists along with their well-placed elites are getting more and more scared.  Why?  Because with each described initiative it looks like…

  • New S#!t List of “creative and liberal minded” artists

    George Rebane The Left’s raw hatred of President-elect Trump and his supporters knows no bounds.  The man is not yet sworn in, and already leftwing artists are going out of their way to proclaim that they will not perform at his inaugural.  Not long ago, being asked to perform at a presidential event was considered…

  • Islamophobia Explained

    George Rebane By all accounts according to the progressives’ definition I am an islamophobe.  My apprehension of Islam’s colonization and eventual conquest of the west has been well documented in these pages.  The ill-read and uneducated leftwingers have taken such apprehensions to be the outrageous screeds of a minority back country white knuckledraggers.  It is hard…

  • Large Area Surveillance and Suppression System (updated 22dec16)

    Feedback is the virtue that turns democracy with all its vices, into the least-worst political system.  (And) feedback is turning the incalculable Trump into a tractable, potentially successful president.  Holman W. Jenkins Jr. George Rebane The latest Muslim terrorist attacks in European cities continue to change the cultural landscape of western civilization.  Ground level attacks…

  • Sandbox – 17dec16

    [As the predictable was predicted, the world’s bad guys are having their last 'way' with our globally recognized weak and incompetent outgoing president.  Brazenly taking our submersible was just the most recent case of incoming international insults.  Few note that the Chinese didn’t even need to steal the ‘drone’, for stealing means to take something surreptitiously…

  • ‘Anonymity is Good, Trust Us’ (updated 17dec16)

    George Rebane The Russian Hacking Pot keeps on bubbling without any clear resolution in sight.  Our Left laments Hillary’s loss, and is now relieved to have found a deep dark reason for it – Russia colluded with Trump to hack her illegal server and the DNC, put the damning emails in the public domain through…

  • Scattershots – 12dec16 (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • Election 2016 Fallout

    [Mr Norm Sauer is a retired attorney, member of The Union Editorial Board, and a regular columnist for the newspaper.  He submitted the following article to RR and The Union which also published it today (here).  In this piece Mr Sauer reflects on the election's aftermath and its portents; it is posted as received.  gjr]…

  • The National Pipeline Lie (updated 10dec16)

    George Rebane As we observe the 75th anniversary of ‘The day that will live in infamy’, it is good to reflect on what brought about that day, and several such days since then.  Traditionally isolationists in the early 20th century years, we were told that WW1 was the war to end all wars.  Most people…

  • Scattershots – 5dec16

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr George Boardman, Union columnist, for his excellent article in this morning’s paper on the pipeline brouhaha at Standing Rock.  He takes to task numerous groups of people assembling there with various agendas trying to make hay on the concerns of the Dakota and Lakota Indian tribes.  The factors are complex that…
