  • The Left’s Continued Attack on America

    George Rebane Correlation is the gateway to causality. Nationally and locally the corps of our loyal Lenin’s lads and ladies continue their anti-American drumbeat.  Locally we read a stream of revisionist lies and TDS-powered diatribes in The Union.  An example is the vituperation heaped on Barry Pruett for his recent piece illustrating the parallels in…

  • The American People – where are they?

    George Rebane We are assured daily by politicians and media mavens of all stripes that the “American people” support this or oppose that.  Each one of these worthies attempts to convince us that they have divined the will of the American people who supposedly make up a cohesive cohort of the population that share in…

  • America’s Foreign Policy Misrepresented

    [This commentary was published in the 10mar26 edition of The Union.] George Rebane Our worthy warriors of the Left continue to bombard us with various messages assembled under the theme of America, the evil racially-drenched imperialist warmonger that seeks to beggar the world to the benefit of its capitalist overlords.  Today TDS is their most…

  • Socialism is intrinsically unsustainable

    George Rebane If sustainability of a government program is defined as its ongoing budgets not increasing their share of the country’s GDP for non-diminishing levels of service, then which of our government’s entitlement programs are sustainable? Which of the EU governments’ programs are sustainable? I presented the above prompt to SuperGrok AI.  And after its…

  • What Unification?

    [This commentary was published in the 11feb26 edition of The Union.] George Rebane That we are a badly divided community gives rise to a steady stream of good-hearted folks hereabouts calling for local residents to come together, to unify.  These attempts at unification go beyond the boilerplate calls with which we are all familiar.  Some…

  • The less you know, …

    [A slightly edited version of this commentary was published in the 11apr26 issue of The Union.] Mayor Mamdani told New York that his administration would seek to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”. George Rebane Today our country is divided among those who believe in the rugged individualism envisioned by…

  • 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…
