  • Scattershots – 4jul21 (updated 9jul21)

    George Rebane There are no more paladins living among us.  When some public atrocity is being committed, like someone or two having the crap kicked out of them on a sidewalk, or a Molotov cocktail thrown through a store window, or a brutal execution of someone sitting in a car, then all the gathered onlookers…

  • The Ubiquity of Bias

    George Rebane I am a biased ideologue (q.v.).  My biases, along with their reasoned bases, have been spelled out in detail on these pages for well over a decade.  No other blog I’m aware of has so meticulously presented its host’s credo and glossary of vocabulary relevant to the topics covered. Having again made that…

  • ‘Parents wary of critical race theory’

    [This is the second in a three-part series of articles on CRT by Ms McLaughlin.  The first was posted here on 16 June 2021.  This column appeared here in the 1jul21 edition of The Union.  gjr] Terry McLaughlin California residents may be familiar with euphemisms for critical race theory, such as “ethnic studies,” “educational equity” and…

  • ‘For Good and Evil: The Impact of Taxes …’

    [I was gratified to receive this book report from a dear and very astute friend who now lives in Florida.  For years he was a prominent developer and successful businessman in Nevada County.  A Stanford engineering graduate, he too joined the California exodus as our monopolist one-party socialist revolution became too much to bear.  By…

  • Open Letter to our Government Employee Neighbors

    George Rebane This piece appeared (here) in 18jul09 Union when I was a regular columnist for the newspaper.  It was written in response to the dawn of the Obama age which already gave ample portent to the hard times ahead as he began stifling the normal rebound from the recession that was already starting to…

  • America the Unnatural

    George Rebane [This essay kicks off Independence Day week at Casa Rebane.  Jo Ann and I installed our annual display of bunting and a large Old Glory on our porch railing, which always brings good words from our neighbors.  Perhaps you too would consider giving more than a nod to a tradition that has bound…

  • Scattershots – 25jun21 (updated 29jun21)

    George Rebane Biden on gun control smirked at the notion of guns in civilian hands being effective against a tyrannical government.  He cited that any such insurrection against our federales will require disgruntled citizens to have at least “F15s and a few nuclear warheads” to be successful.  This is the common hypocritical response of the…

  • The Joys of Juneteenth (addended)

    George Rebane As most Americans know, today we are a nation fractured into tribes of various victimized and victimizer identity groups.  This new social order started gelling in the national consciousness under Barack Obama, hardened during Trump’s contended presidency, and is on schedule to become a fully petrified structure of America’s society under the pro-Marxist…

  • The Most Atrocious Tax of All (updated 18jun21)

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane The country’s Democratic radical Left and Team Biden are prepared to expand asset taxes and introduce unrealized capital gains as another taxable form of ‘income’.  If they are successful, this will be the final nail in the coffin of…

  • Scattershots – 14jun21 (updated 20jun21)

    George Rebane Kamala Harris has been Bumblebrain’s presumptive replacement before 2022.  The thought was that Biden would resign due to health or family or some other reason, Kamala would step in and then be the reigning incumbent ready for a full term in 2024.  It all made sense before the Dems and the country were…
