  • Trump trumped?

    George Rebane Given the choices I remain a Trump supporter.  I have voted for him three times.  But as RR pages witness and its readers know, I am not an uncritical acolyte of his administration.  He has totally misread what may be termed the elements of negotiating with totalitarians, especially those of the communist stripe…

  • Scattershots – 24apr25

    George Rebane Trump is being played by Putin for all to see, and the man has finally stumbled into one of his blind spots, apparently without a clue.  In brokering the Ukraine/Russia peace he is announcing daily progress with Russia, who continues to bomb the crap out of Ukraine’s civilian centers, and dunning Zelensky for…

  • Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs (updated 13apr25)

    George Rebane My tariff laments are on record in these pages.  I am not alone in my consternation about how the administration is conducting this part of our nation's economy.  CATO scholar Scott Lincicome sums up President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’  Trump's reciprocal tariffs: 1) Impose hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes on Americans…

  • Lurching Leftward (updated 11apr25)

    George Rebane The Democrats daily ventures into leftwing extremes are too many to count, but unfortunately too easy to witness.  Nationally prominent Democrat author and pollster Doug Schoen, a centrist, openly laments that the Democrat Party’s embrace of socialism and collectivist extremes is not only unabated, but picking up steam.  Led by Bernie Sanders and…

  • Scattershots – 29mar25 (updated 4apr25)

    George Rebane DOGE is the new leftwing hysteria du jour.  It has displaced climate change as the issue that gets most folks’ undies in a bundle.  The whole ‘Resist!’ movement of the Left is based on Democrat politicians’ lies and gratuitous fake news reports by the lamestream media.  DOGE is a new government agency charged…

  • “Eradication of Western Civilization”

    George Rebane That is the seldom spoken yet common goal of socialists, communists, Islamic extremists/terrorists, our Democratic party, and generally of leftwing ideologues worldwide.  When confronted with this reality and its confirming historical record, today’s intellectual Democrat (yes, there are some) will deny it.  The time is not yet right for its public cotillion. Recent…

  • Lamestream Lies for the Lightly-read (updated)

    George Rebane [24apr25 – This piece was submitted to The Union on 23 May 2025 for their Other Voices op-ed contributions.  Not only was it not published, but they did not even deign to answer my follow-on inquiries about its acceptance and status.  Clearly I stepped over their editorial line with this piece.  The same…

  • What are we doing??!

    George Rebane This longtime Trump supporter and sometime critic is one confused puppy; today I have little to no understanding of what the Trump administration is doing in managing our economy, and what kind of foreign policy goals it is pursuing re Ukraine and China.  So this is a lament in which I bitch and…

  • Pissing Match Continues

    George Rebane Today marked another malignant milestone in the US/Ukraine relationship.  President Trump aborted his much-publicized meeting with President Zelensky, and told him to come back when he’s ready to make peace in the three-year Russo-Ukraine war.  The intended objective of the meeting was for both presidents to sign an agreement that would serve as…

  • ‘What We Know and Don’t About January 6’

    George Rebane The title article is a revealing and long overdue piece of journalism by John Davidson, a senior editor at The Federalist (here).  A House Select Committee was formed to investigate the 6jan21 Capitol “insurrection” by the Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  The purpose of the committee as performing an institutional hit job on Donald…
