The above tag line is apropos to the total breakdown in America’s public discourse, and I do mean total.  This week ‘Thousands…

  • George Rebane Not only can you have your own opinions, but today you can also have your own facts, history, science, logic, and language.  Rebane Doctrine Orwellian Inclusivity.  Only a progressive works to achieve inclusivity by first rooting out all wrong-thinkers.  (See all the ongoing firings of leftist academics and journalists for even putting a…

  • George Rebane Only Trump can defeat Trump. Our liberal readers really don’t understand what real ‘fake news’ is, and they throw that notion around as they do with terms like ‘racist’, which they also don’t understand.  Since they are a class-oriented people, liberals don’t look at the message, only the class membership of the messenger. …

  • George Rebane Led by local leftwing intellectual legend Mr Steven Frisch, the readers and yours truly have been labeled “batshit crazy” in comment streams here and leftwing blogs elsewhere for doubting or debating the science behind major public issues like preventable manmade global warming, Covid-19 response policies, and even the effect of taxes on economic…

  • George Rebane From The Patriarch, David Nasaw’s mega-biography of the life and times of Joseph P. Kennedy, we read – The Depression, as Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., noted in the first volume of his The Age of Roosevelt, offered “radicalism its long awaited chance.”  The unemployed, underemployed, dispossessed, and hungry were not sitting idly by…

  • George Rebane Recent NUHS graduate Michael Sekerak is working hard to reshape our society and community.  He wrote the cri de Coeur ‘Time to elevate those marginalized in our community’ which The Union published in its 8jul20 edition.  What is remarkable about Mr Sekerak’s column is that it so exemplifies the education, indoctrination, and mentality…

  • George Rebane Division is caused by Trump’s speeches is now the steady narrative from the national propaganda outlets.  Specifically, it’s the speeches in which he mentions the protests cum riots that result in death and destruction that have now emerged as the daily visible signs that divide our country.  Were they not of evil intent,…
