  • Father forgive them for they know not …

    George Rebane Yesterday (20jan26) the socialists of Nevada County assembled a small group of Democrats and high school students for a demonstration against ICE’s efforts across the country to arrest and deport people, especially criminals, in the country illegally.  To our proto-communists these federal agents are “fascists” carrying out unconstitutional law enforcement. Now I think…

  • Just Tolerating the Left is Not Enough

    AOC answers her critics: “If I’m so dumb, then how come it took me only three months to complete a puzzle that on its box was printed ‘4-6 years’?” George Rebane In these tense times, a faux normalcy cloaks the serious troubles afflicting our nation and the world. As I’ve long argued in these pages,…

  • Hyperbiased Media

    George Rebane For years my conservative friends and I have shared a common experience when talking to a leftwinger about current events.  They all have massive blind spots in what they know of what’s going on.  The explanation is simple.  They only get their news from leftwing lamestream media which simply omits, minimizes, or hides…

  • Scattershots – 15may25

    George Rebane “California’s poverty rate has increased significantly, with disproportionate impacts on Black and Laninx residents” during the Biden years (2021-2024).  The California Budget & Policy Center reports (here) on the continuous disaster foisted on our formerly golden state by the double dummy Democrats who inhabit Sacramento at all levels.  And it is getting worse…

  • Scattershots – 29mar25 (updated 4apr25)

    George Rebane DOGE is the new leftwing hysteria du jour.  It has displaced climate change as the issue that gets most folks’ undies in a bundle.  The whole ‘Resist!’ movement of the Left is based on Democrat politicians’ lies and gratuitous fake news reports by the lamestream media.  DOGE is a new government agency charged…

  • “Eradication of Western Civilization”

    George Rebane That is the seldom spoken yet common goal of socialists, communists, Islamic extremists/terrorists, our Democratic party, and generally of leftwing ideologues worldwide.  When confronted with this reality and its confirming historical record, today’s intellectual Democrat (yes, there are some) will deny it.  The time is not yet right for its public cotillion. Recent…

  • ‘What We Know and Don’t About January 6’

    George Rebane The title article is a revealing and long overdue piece of journalism by John Davidson, a senior editor at The Federalist (here).  A House Select Committee was formed to investigate the 6jan21 Capitol “insurrection” by the Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  The purpose of the committee as performing an institutional hit job on Donald…

  • Great Divide – unclear on the concept (updated)

    George Rebane [Update – A slightly edited version of this post was published here in the 12dec24 online and 13dec24 print editions of The Union.] The other day I read a newspaper column by a good-hearted commentator who tried to convince readers that there already exists a natural and effective path both sides can travel…

  • E pluribus unum – Really? Still? (Reprised)

    George Rebane As we enter the home stretch of this election season, with both sides agreeing that this is the election to prevent the other side from taking the nation down the road to terminal evil, we still hear some good-hearted and/or dim-witted public figures hopefully assuring us that ‘there is more that unites us…

  • Twisted Logic from Twisted Minds (updated 1oct24)

    Just as you don’t find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don’t find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.  Thomas Sowell George Rebane The appearance of the enthusiastic MAGA proponent Laura Loomis at tonight’s Republican fund raiser dinner continues to draw fire…
