  • George Rebane This morning the US carried out a law enforcement raid in Caracas to capture and extract Nicolas Maduro and wife, and transport them to stand trial in New York where they were indicted for narco-terrorism in 2020.  In the dead of night the operation came off without a hitch as a precisely integrated…

  • George Rebane The latest mass shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan highlights the problems with our totally unarmed civilian population in the public square.  The incident left 5 people dead (including shooter) and eight hospitalized.  The crazed killer was a military veteran who drove his pick-up through the doors of the local LDS church into the…

  • [This piece by regular Union columnist Terry McLaughlin was rejected by its editorial mavens for being too politically biased and containing claims that the Left considers patently false and/or unsubstantiated.  I invite RR readers to compare Ms McLaughlin’s op-ed – posted here with permission – with those from leftwing authors that appear daily in the…

  • George Rebane The Republican debate about the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) goes on after it squeaked out of the Senate with the VP’s vote.  A quick look at the alternatives shows that the debate involves no reasonable alternative to the BBB.  Everyone except the economically ignorant leftwingers in the country knows that the only solution…

  • George Rebane Today marked another malignant milestone in the US/Ukraine relationship.  President Trump aborted his much-publicized meeting with President Zelensky, and told him to come back when he’s ready to make peace in the three-year Russo-Ukraine war.  The intended objective of the meeting was for both presidents to sign an agreement that would serve as…

  • George Rebane Two air tragedies happened in our land just a couple of days apart.  Yesterday’s medevac Learjet carrying six people came down within a minute after take-off from a Philadelphia airport.  The fuel-ladened jet plummeted at a 45 degree angle into a neighborhood crowded with residences and commercial outlets.  So far the expert talking…

  • George Rebane Our granddaughter Elizabeth received her PhD last Friday after seven years of research at the Department of Oncology of UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine.  She is one of the school’s research stars having developed a ground-breaking method for treating glioblastoma patients.  Glioblastoma is the most virulent and deadly form of brain cancer that…

  • George Rebane Democrats’ demonstrators are paid shills.  There is no end to the evil that this political party practices and foists on the country.  There is actually a booming business for outfits like Crowds on Demand who hire low-lifes to masquerade as concerned citizens expressing their scripted First Amendment rights in the streets.  And the…

  • George Rebane The Los Angeles area continues to burn after entire neighborhoods of the city are already heaps of ash and ruin.  What news has been concurrently emerging with videos of burning houses and hills, interviews with residents who lost everything, and endless ‘news conferences’ with obviously incompetent officials who have no useful information and…
