  • Our Dangerously Miseducated Misérables

    George Rebane Greatest threat to America.  What is the most insidious yet likely path to end our glorious republic?  It isn’t our acknowledged global foes, or foreign terrorists, or even native terrorists.  It is the terminally ignorant and manipulated voter, most likely under 30-years=old.  Today that block of American citizens are firmly in the Democratic…

  • Scattershots – 15aug26 (updated 18aug26)

    George Rebane Democrat Xavier Becerra (54%) leads Republican Steve Hilton (37%) in the polls for California governor.  Becerra is demonstrably unqualified for the office, having literally accomplished nothing in his 40 years in politics and now promises to keep taking our state down the road to social and commercial ruin with time-tested ruinous policies.  California’s…

  • Lurching from Win-Win to Zero-Sum

    [This piece appeared in the op-ed section of the 12aug26 print and online editions of The Union.] America’s sociopolitical landscape is undergoing a profound and dangerous transformation. We are witnessing a systematic departure from the principles of mutual benefit, moving rapidly toward a society fractured by envy and defined by a zero-sum mentality. At the…

  • Wildfires Are Decreasing

    George Rebane The ‘science’ of climate change, as reported to an ignorant public, has been and continues on a deluge of lies and hysteria.  Globally it is undoubtedly the most widespread and influential scam ever perpetrated by special interests in politics and, yes, science to make money and gain power.  The most prevalent m.o. is…

  • Scattershots – 29jul26 (updated 2aug26)

    George Rebane California sucks as a place to live and do business.  According to ongoing polling – e.g. latest USNWR poll – the state is the worst state in the Union in which to do business.  It also ranks in the bottom three in essentially all other categories such as cost of living, crime, homelessness,…

  • And now Sh!t from Sea to Shining Sea

    George Rebane The Left wants to redistribute the wealth they can neither create nor understand. Gavin Newsom, a true socialist who has California in the toilet, wants the rest of the United States to replicate the state’s existential catastrophe in governance.  All the country’s outspoken socialists are calling for repressive taxes on the wealthy –…

  • A Dark Age of the Mind Threatens

    George Rebane Intellectual savant and libertarian Jeffery Tucker offers us some very insightful conclusions about “intellectual obesity” in his ‘The Backlash Against the Screen’.  He points the finger directly at the way high tech and specifically AI is being misused and well on its way to creating an entire generation of double dummies.  The downturn…

  • Socialism is intrinsically unsustainable

    George Rebane If sustainability of a government program is defined as its ongoing budgets not increasing their share of the country’s GDP for non-diminishing levels of service, then which of our government’s entitlement programs are sustainable? Which of the EU governments’ programs are sustainable? I presented the above prompt to SuperGrok AI.  And after its…

  • The less you know, …

    [A slightly edited version of this commentary was published in the 11apr26 issue of The Union.] Mayor Mamdani told New York that his administration would seek to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”. George Rebane Today our country is divided among those who believe in the rugged individualism envisioned by…

  • 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’…
