  • Democrats Ascendant

    George Rebane Republicans are totally missing the dominant sentiments in the country regarding economics, foreign policy, healthcare, and illegal aliens.  Major conservative news and commentary outlets like Fox and Newsmax continue to tout the historic achievements of the Trump administration while paying no mind to what the people believe on Main Street.  These mavens act…

  • Venezuela on path to freedom and prosperity

    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…

  • Putin’s Ongoing Bamboozle

    George Rebane After President Trump’s telecon with Putin the other day, he announced with great satisfaction that not only did Putin want the war to end, but that Russia was willing to help Ukraine rebuild from country’s devastation caused by Russia’s incessant missile and drone bombardment of Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure.  What astounds many of…

  • Self-immolation Derby

    George Rebane The competition has become fierce between the Democratic leadership and President Trump.  Both are doing their best to estrange themselves from the country’s voters.  The bottom line, according to my lights, is that the president is winning this contest in the number of people he leaves disappointed, dismayed, and simply pissed in the…

  • We really are that dumb

    George Rebane Gavin Newsom is on both a national and international tear burnishing his name if not his credentials as a serious Democratic candidate for the 2028 presidential election.  The Right has long lamented that our electorate has a dangerously large intellectual deficit.  The evidence in the nation’s and states’ voting record provides overwhelming evidence…

  • Trump’s foreign policy bats 500 – at best

    George Rebane Well, maybe it’s just 300 which is still good in any league. Let’s start with his Ukraine peace plan. The best that can be said about his initial ’29 point plan’ is that its adoption would be a disaster for the west.  Trump still does not understand Putin, his goals and constraints.  As…

  • COP30 – Climate Hysteria on Steroids

    [This commentary was published in the 9dec25 online and print editions of The Union.  Recent reports from the federal government and UC San Diego highlight the ongoing and alarming trend in the increase of dumbth in our student population and young people in general. Since this is due entirely to the influence of leftwing teachers’…

  • Scattershots – 10nov25 (updated 16nov25)

    George Rebane Ignorance is the handmaiden of collectivism.  When ignorance prevails, socialism/communism will always seek to fundamentally transform the governance of a liberal society.  Rebane Doctrine Government shutdown derby.  Unfortunately too many government workers live paycheck to paycheck.  That depends more on individuals’ faulty behavior than unavoidable financial stress.  (Even as dirt poor immigrants with…

  • America’s Undeclared Wars

    George Rebane [This post was published in the 25nov25 issue of The Union in an edited version titled ‘The Untied States of America’s undeclared wars’. gjr] The United States has a history of presidentially initiated military actions conducted under executive authority without a formal declaration of war from Congress, as the Constitution vests such declaratory…
