  • Panama Canal – who should own it?

    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…

  • Einsteinian Pacifism

    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,…

  • Scattershots – 30dec24 (updated 3jan25)

    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…

  • Drones over New Jersey

    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…

  • Great Divide – unclear on the concept (updated)

    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…

  • Scattershots – 21nov24

    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…

  • California Chaos Update – 8nov24

    George Rebane While our revamped president organizes a major government cleanup at the federal level, we in California will be immune to the resulting Trump-induced benefits.  Moreover, led by the peak pinhead himself, the Sacramento mental midgets will do their best to make our lives more costly and miserable than ever.  All of this continues…

  • Trump Wins!

    George Rebane Donald J. Trump 45th and 47th President of the United States of America Yea verily, and Hallelujah!

  • Election Reflections

    The sense to let things settle.  Especially when the public, or the private, sea is most turbulent.  There come whirlwinds into human traffic, storms of passion, when it is wise to seek a safe harbor with smoother waters: many times is an evil made worse by the remedies used.  Gracian #138 George Rebane As we…

  • Scattershots – 18oct24 (updated 25oct24)

    George Rebane Sacramento City Council idiots are going to pass “ordinances (that) range from requiring gun liability insurance to a yearly $25 gun harm reduction fee” -  that’s $25/gun/year.  The claimed purpose of these insane ordinances is to “combat senseless gun violence”. However, anyone with a working 3-digit IQ will immediately see that these ordinances…
