  • COP30 – Climate Hysteria on Steroids

    [This commentary was published in the 9dec25 online and print editions of The Union.  Recent reports from the federal government and UC San Diego highlight the ongoing and alarming trend in the increase of dumbth in our student population and young people in general. Since this is due entirely to the influence of leftwing teachers’…

  • Scattershots – 10nov25 (updated 16nov25)

    George Rebane Ignorance is the handmaiden of collectivism.  When ignorance prevails, socialism/communism will always seek to fundamentally transform the governance of a liberal society.  Rebane Doctrine Government shutdown derby.  Unfortunately too many government workers live paycheck to paycheck.  That depends more on individuals’ faulty behavior than unavoidable financial stress.  (Even as dirt poor immigrants with…

  • Scattershots – 28jul25 (updated 1aug25)

    George Rebane People don’t like the BBB that’s now law.  Latest WSJ poll shows 42% support, 52% oppose the law. “At least half of poll respondents said the legislation would harm poor people, the working class, Social Security beneficiaries, the US economy, Medicaid recipients nutrition-assistance recipients and the federal budget deficit.”  Every one of these…

  • ‘More UN climate nonsense’ (updated 24jul25)

    George Rebane James Freeman in the 23jul25 WSJ writes a telling article on the intended confusion that surrounds ‘sustainable energy’ costs – i.e. the comparison of wind, solar, and hydro to fossil fuels.  The latest pile of steaming bullshit was regurgitated by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in an AP interview as reported here.  I am going to…

  • More Revelatory Bullshit from the Left

    George Rebane Propaganda Broadcasting System (you know, the unbiased one) in its 9jul25 News Hour had an interview with the new DNC chairman Ken Martin.  The entire interview is available here. Among the usual nauseating Democrat lies, this time about the BBB, that this interview again laid on their viewers (no real new revelations there),…

  • Growth and ONLY growth

    George Rebane The Republican debate about the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) goes on after it squeaked out of the Senate with the VP’s vote.  A quick look at the alternatives shows that the debate involves no reasonable alternative to the BBB.  Everyone except the economically ignorant leftwingers in the country knows that the only solution…

  • Hyperbiased Media

    George Rebane For years my conservative friends and I have shared a common experience when talking to a leftwinger about current events.  They all have massive blind spots in what they know of what’s going on.  The explanation is simple.  They only get their news from leftwing lamestream media which simply omits, minimizes, or hides…

  • California’s $8 gasoline

    George Rebane With most of the state’s refineries already gone, and two more packing up to leave, and with more planned refinery exits in the works, the state is heading for a transportation disaster.  The oil companies are uncertain about the reality of CA’s 2035 ban on internal combustion engines now being litigated.  Other states…

  • Scattershots – 22may2025 (updated 26may25)

    We must now take seriously the possibility that it will be the resurrection of a shared culture, not its abandonment, that will make possible our continued survival and cohesion.  The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West (2025) George Rebane The Big Beautiful Bill is now on a rocky road…
