  • George Rebane As most longtime RR readers know I am a child, student, and defender of western civilization.  And as most literate and reasoning people also know today is that our beloved western civilization is rapidly disintegrating around us.  Its portending doom is abetted from many sources, led most effectively by our educational systems and…

  • George Rebane Two air tragedies happened in our land just a couple of days apart.  Yesterday’s medevac Learjet carrying six people came down within a minute after take-off from a Philadelphia airport.  The fuel-ladened jet plummeted at a 45 degree angle into a neighborhood crowded with residences and commercial outlets.  So far the expert talking…

  • George Rebane Long wait, but Trump was finally inaugurated. Most of the country, including the Rebanes, celebrated. There were scattered demonstrations by leftwing socialists and shills protesting the election and calling President Trump a “fascist”. The leftwing media (I watched CNN and MSNBC) saw no hypocrisy in their version of what happened yesterday. Only that…

  • George Rebane Democrats’ demonstrators are paid shills.  There is no end to the evil that this political party practices and foists on the country.  There is actually a booming business for outfits like Crowds on Demand who hire low-lifes to masquerade as concerned citizens expressing their scripted First Amendment rights in the streets.  And the…

  • George Rebane President Trump’s recent proposal for the US to reacquire control of the Panama Canal has created a lot of controversy – most on the Left oppose such a reacquisition of control as more American imperialism, and most on the Right support it on national security grounds.  Facts about the status and operation of…

  • George Rebane Over the holidays we watched a documentary on the life of Einstein in which his writings, interviews, and speeches were extensively quoted.  One of the social attributes that came out about the famed physicist was that he was a pacifist, more accurately an “active pacifist”.  In his pacifism he publicly rejected imperialism, colonialism,…

  • George Rebane Yes, Jimmy Carter was a nice and decent man, but he didn’t cut it as our President.  What no one is pointing out in the media is that President Carter took us to the very brink of WW3.  At the time (1977-80) this precarious situation was a highly classified assessment within our military…

  • George Rebane Kinda reminds you of the classic ‘Moon over Miami’, except hold the romantic part.  The ongoing sightings, now numbering in the hundreds, remain unexplained by our government.  That this has been going on for weeks is unheard of in our nation’s history, yet it is very revealing as to the new attitude that…

  • George Rebane [Update – A slightly edited version of this post was published here in the 12dec24 online and 13dec24 print editions of The Union.] The other day I read a newspaper column by a good-hearted commentator who tried to convince readers that there already exists a natural and effective path both sides can travel…

  • George Rebane Granddaughter Elizabeth has finished her PhD in molecular biology, and after many years of cancer research is now Dr Elizabeth Fernandez and has her dissertation published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications – ‘Integrated molecular and functional characterization of the intrinsic apoptotic machinery identifies therapeutic vulnerabilities in glioma’ (whew!) – for which she…
