  • George Rebane This evening the latest report from Fox News on the Michigan recount just came in, and I’m sad to say that progressives have been right all along that requiring voter IDs diminishes the minority voice and vote.  The latest piece of evidence comes in from Detroit, a solid minority leftwing city under Democrat…

  • George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • George Rebane The recent election did nothing to unite us as Americans.  Half of us are still shocked that the election didn’t turn out as ‘everyone’ was told it would.  And as the shock wears off, the losing side is not about to take President-elect Trump and the victorious Republicans lying down.  At all levels…

  • George Rebane Kudos to Mr George Boardman, Union columnist, for his excellent article in this morning’s paper on the pipeline brouhaha at Standing Rock.  He takes to task numerous groups of people assembling there with various agendas trying to make hay on the concerns of the Dakota and Lakota Indian tribes.  The factors are complex that…

  • George Rebane ‘YES, California!’ draws more than a smile from some of us longtime prescients who witness the ongoing dissolution of the America our forebears and we have labored to build.  In these pages and on some other commentariats this has been labeled as the coming Great Divide.  There is no agreement in which of…

  • "… for more is often accomplished through a witty remark than through the gravest argument."  Gracian #22 George Rebane The far Left still doesn’t understand what happened on 8 November.  But they do agree with RR’s assessment that we share few if any values and mores.  The two sides’ mantras remain diametrically opposite.  Left –…

  • George Rebane The dismal lamestream media is doubling down on its post-election Trump attacks.  In their gratuitous splurge of hit pieces, thinly disguised as news, they are driving the divisive wedge ever deeper and continuing the class warfare program started by Obama – to be sure, they are not like us.  The good news for…

  • George Rebane People who don’t agree with the Left are bigots and racists – Progressive mantra Alt-Right??  Does anyone know what that is?  I might throw in ‘white nationalist’ for good measure as another pejorative label that is heavily bandied about in the media today.  Perusing the usual sources provides little resolution since no one…

  • George Rebane Dear reader, if my vindicated contempt for the Left’s protesting our election results with street demonstrations and riots shows, then you will have correctly deduced my mindset regarding these know-nothings be they of the planned-and-paid-for or spontaneous kind.  As the dust begins to settle, some very telling stats are being compiled on the…

  • George Rebane Recent email revelations have put paid on the longheld conclusion that America’s Left is actively working to take us into a post-American future.  This view is underwritten by most on the Right and many on the Left.  The entire proposition is wrapped up in the widely accepted notion of an evolving America.  Currently…
