  • Democrats’ Rubicon?

    "As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault; we do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise."  Joe Biden George Rebane Last night President Biden delivered an historically horrendous milestone speech at our republic.  It was positioned by Democrats as an official federal government stance and interpretation of the political state of our…

  • The Perennially Confused Grassroots Left

    George Rebane Imagine a country that does not recognize the right of their citizens to revolt. These thoughts were resurfaced by a comment from local leftwing cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb responding to ‘A Case for the Right of Revolution’.  In it he accuses those of the Right of “blowing up what’s left of the constitution(sic)”,…

  • Right vs Left – what distinguishes us (updated 17jun22)

    George Rebane Of the several correspondences in which I am currently active, one is on the perennial topic of the Great Divide and America’s irredeemable polarization.  In these correspondences with two of my left-leaning intellectual friends, we are attempting to create a mutually acceptable inventory of ideological belief tenets.  These would form a starting point…

  • The Many Ways to Regulate Militias (updated 21jun22)

    [This post also appears here in the op-ed pages of 14jun22 Union.] George Rebane In his 10jun22 ‘Read it yourself – ‘A well-regulated militia’’ Union columnist Taylor Carey seems focused only on the interpretation of the nation’s leftwing anti-gunners.  The Left has always held that the Founders' intention for the Second Amendment was that members…

  • A Nation to Transcend Stupid?

    George Rebane The Atlantic usually contains ideas that are antithetical to the perspectives with which I interpret what happens in the world.  A longtime and dear friend, who leans a bit to my left, forwarded to me an essay with which he concurs “with 90% of the points made in this article (regardless of the…

  • ‘Genes vs. Culture’

    George Rebane This is the title of a landmark essay on the American condition by Lawrence Mead, Professor of Politics at New York University, published in the March/April 2022 edition of Chronicles, flagship publication of the Charlemagne Institute.  Continuing the work of Charles Murray et al, Professor Mead makes the case that “conservatives face a…

  • The Great Reset

    “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” ― George Orwell, 1984 George Rebane Given that the world will always have at least one hegemon, it is therefore imperative that America should always remain a hegemon – Rebane Doctrine. A prime objective of RR over…

  • Liberal Hypocrisy Fuels American Inequality

    George Rebane What do Dems actually do when they have all the power?  The short answer is that they have created the worst states in the Union with regard to housing, education, taxation, homelessness, … .   And first and foremost, they turn on their political and media lying machines to deny what horrible messes in…

  • Scattershots – 8mar22 (updated 12mar22)

    George Rebane Probability is the measure of possibility. H&I fires.  The Russians are using an unusually insidious, deadly, and dastardly artillery tactic to kill fleeing civilians on negotiated evacuation routes.  The tactic is called Harassment and Interdiction fires, and are designed to deny the enemy free use of designated areas over extended periods.  H&I fires…

  • The Success of Socialist Schooling

    George Rebane In the last Dark Days Diary (here) I highlighted a short dissertation on the spread of communism by a former KGB agent.  As we have frequently pointed out, and he confirms, the spread of that evil ideology is made possible by its acolytes initially gaining control of a target nation’s public educational system. …
