  • Scattershots – 23mar26 (updated 24mar26)

    George Rebane Millionaire taxes on the rich don’t work.  Massachusetts tried that in 2023 and lost $4.2B in state revenues.  A large number of the rich just high-tailed it out of the state.  This is not reported in the lamestream media, so none of the Democrat voters know about it and will no doubt support…

  • The Iran Propaganda War

    George Rebane The Democrats are winning the Iran propaganda war hands down in the lamestream media and in the polls.  Their daily anti-American, anti-Trump screeds have successfully convinced over half of our population that the war was ill-conceived, and is being poorly executed with no clear objectives to be achieved.  That none of this is…

  • Iran War – on the edge of quagmire?

    George Rebane We have definitely become bogged down in our prosecution of the Iran war.  As we enter the war’s third week, it is clear that no material progress has been made toward ending the conflict for at least the last seven days.  Iran has successfully hunkered down and continues to launch missiles and drones…

  • 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…

  • America’s Literacy and Numeracy Crisis: The High Cost of Left-Wing Dominance in Public Education

    [This commentary was published in the 25feb26 edition of The Union.  It is posted here as it appeared in the newspaper. gjr] Over the years in these pages and on my blog I have been a critic of our nation’s public school system that has produced a workforce and electorate marginally able to maintain our…

  • 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…

  • The less you know, …

    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 our Founders of citizens who would support and maintain the constitutional republic they fashioned for us;…

  • Greenland’s Realities

    {This commentary was published in the 28jan26 edition of The Union. gjr] George Rebane The 57,000 residents of Greenland live and work in a toy jurisdiction with a miniscule economy, the private sector of which is based overwhelmingly on fishing and seafood exports accounting for approximately 37% of their $3.3B GDP.  The lion’s share (67%)…

  • 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…
