  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Scattershots – 26sep25

    George Rebane Liberals ignorant of decline in students’ performance.  This was highlighted by local liberals who dismissed my 10sep25 report of the government’s assessed and nationally reported decline in the academic skills of our public schools’ students as a “doctrinaire assessment of lowering test scores in our schools” (see NAEP and NCES reports).  He further considers…

  • The End of Corporate Journalism?

    [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…

  • Scattershots – 18oct24 (updated 25oct24)

    George Rebane Sacramento City Council idiots are going to pass “ordinances (that) range from requiring gun liability insurance to a yearly $25 gun harm reduction fee” -  that’s $25/gun/year.  The claimed purpose of these insane ordinances is to “combat senseless gun violence”. However, anyone with a working 3-digit IQ will immediately see that these ordinances…

  • 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…

  • Berkheimer bamboozled by borders

    George Rebane This is a big miss to leftwing columnist Darrell Berkheimer for his muddling and misleading report on our illegal alien problem in the 23sep24 Union (here).  His use of “immigrants” to refer to illegal entrants continues to confuse the national dialogue over porous borders, legal immigration, and immigration policy reform.  For generations by…

  • Terry McLaughlin: A better policy on homelessness

    [Ms Terry McLaughlin is a longtime regular columnist for The Union and contributes well researched and written reports on current issues and happenings (quite often vocally proscribed by our local liberal contingent).  Her columns are always factual exhibiting high journalistic standards now mostly lost from the industry.  Recently she attended an important town forum on…

  • Dumbing Down Denied (updated 28apr24)

    George Rebane For years RR and its more enlightened readers have lamented and documented the degradation of our public schools and also of our higher educational institutions.  Over the last half century this decline has been relentless and extensively reported as anti-American socialists of all shades adopted policies and curricula designed to produce a workforce…

  • Scattershots – 9feb24 (updated 17feb24)

    George Rebane KJP, Biden’s excuse for a press secretary, defended the president’s dementia – attested to in the recent special prosecutor Robert Hur report about his mishandling classified documents – by reading from a desperately compiled list of Republicans who have misspoken in the past.  That tack further illustrates how intellectually challenged are most members…
