  • 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…

  • Inflation – Up close and personal

    “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”  Milton Friedman George Rebane “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the…

  • The Evil Party – more lives lost to the Left (updated 21jun21)

    The fact that Joe Biden is even considering opening our southern border to a group of unvetted illegal aliens in a massive caravan – in the middle of a pandemic, while millions of Americans are unemployed – tells you everything you need to know about Democrats’ priorities.  - Anonymous George Rebane In voices hushed by…

  • Toward Reunification, One More Time (updated 13jun21)

    George Rebane [This commentary appeared here in the 5jun21 op-ed pages of The Union.  The response in the newspaper’s online edition comment stream was as predicted (by publisher Don Rogers among others), and I expand on this in the addendum below.] In my last two Other Voices columns – ‘Farewell Unity’ (2apr21), ‘Where exactly are…

  • The Blessings of Inequality

    George Rebane We are in the age of trading equality for equity.  Why?  Because equality at the start of any road quickly leads to inequality among the travelers – given equal opportunities, some get further ahead than others.  That’s how it has been, is now, and always will be the human condition.  To the socialist…

  • Scattershots – 3jun21 (updated 8jun21)

    Why promote a minimalist government – “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”  Thomas Sowell George Rebane Anyone notice how student debt is propagandized as an act of nature that…

  • The Evil Party Marches On (updated 4jun21)

    George Rebane You can fool some people most of the time; you can fool most people some of the time; and today you can also fool most of the people most of the time. As ensconced in communist Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the new Democratic Party has thoroughly embraced its dictum ‘Accuse others of…

  • Memorial Day – 31 May 2021

    George Rebane Most but not all died to save America from a calamitous tyranny; many have also died for America to remain as the world’s white hat hegemon.  On this day we gratefully remember and honor them all.
