  • Scattershots – 7apr21 (updated 10apr21)

    George Rebane Crime rate spikes ignored by Democrats and their local lackies.  Notice that no one on the lamestream commentariat or in the Dem leadership has even breathed of the massive increases in serious crimes that have occurred across the country in response to their butt stupid policies to cut back on police support, both…

  • The Success of Socialist Schooling

    George Rebane In the recent 'Dark Days Diary' (here) I highlighted a short dissertation on the spread of communism by a former KGB agent.  As we have pointed out here and he confirms, the spread of that evil ideology is made possible by its acolytes initially gaining control of a target nation’s public educational system. …

  • Dark Days Diary – 2apr21

    George Rebane Various knowledgeable authors are trying to warn us of how the accelerating Cold War 2.0 with China (and Russia) can quickly spiral out of control into WW3.  The latest alert came last month with the release of 2034: A Novel of the Next World War.  This fictional novel spins a very detailed and…

  • Farewell Unity (updated 3apr21)

    [This commentary appears as an op-ed column in the 3apr21 Union (here).  Unfortunately, a typo survived in the submitted version.  The sentence "Today, our country is divided into two distinct ideological camps that each total at least half of Americans."  The word 'each' does not belong.  Here I have also appended an abstract that summarizes…

  • Working the Unity Myth (updated 25mar21)

    George Rebane Today’s Left seeks to suppress and supplant the legacy, history, and practice of Western culture as an evil instantiation of racism and white supremacy. One of Jo Ann’s recent Union articles (here) addressed the futile attempts in the Left’s ongoing calls for unity, supposedly addressed to people like her – conservative, Christian women…

  • A Sad Commentary About Unity

    George Rebane In his inauguration speech President Joe Biden went out of his way to emphasize and promise that his would be the administration to heal the chasm that separates Americans and bring us together again – he would unite us all.  From the policy statements that his WH started to issue immediately put paid…

  • Dark Days Diary – 21 feb21

    George Rebane Litmus test for liberal mentality.  There is a very reliable test to identify a person sporting a well-developed liberal persuasion.  It can be administered within the comfortable confines of a casual conversation about almost anything socio-political.  A few questions about the person’s viewpoint or perspective, which can then be mildly challenged, will quickly…

  • Right Wing Watchers

    George Rebane For some time now a hard-left commenter signing himself as ‘Nevada County Right Wing Watch’ has been visiting these pages and leaving a trail of his intelligence, understanding, and thoughts.  He claims to be part of an extensive organization, apparently one of several reported in the news that are doing their best to…

  • Facts, Speech, and Reach

    George Rebane We are all isolated from ‘facts’ by at least one layer of biased intermediaries. In recent editions of our local Union we continue to read its columnists and letter writers who devoutly believe in and repeatedly cite versions of the late Senator Moynihan’s famous dictum – ‘You are free to have your own…

  • ‘Speech and Sedition in 2021’

    George Rebane That is the title of the important lead editorial (here) in the 30jan21 WSJ, and very relevant to the ongoing discussions and debates on these pages.  The whole notion of speech-based sedition arose with the Federalists who essentially ran the government of the newly born United States.  The Federalists and their agencies, did…
