  • In An American School

    George Rebane The following talk, purportedly by a high school principal, came via email.  I have no idea whether it was actually delivered; there was no citation attached.  But that doesn’t matter.  What matters to me is that so many of us harbor the hope that there are still principals and schools in America that…

  • Tom McClintock speaks to NC Republican Women

    George Rebane The October luncheon meeting of the Nevada County Republican Women Federated was again held at the Alta Sierra Country Club and was well attended by its large and growing cohort of members and associate members of which I count myself.  Attending with me was my friend and fellow blogger Russ Steele of NC…

  • Meckler Nailed – the ‘evidence’ is in

    George Rebane Just a rung short of a ladder is the most charitable way I can characterize the attempt by a locally loud leftwinger to proclaim that he has finally found the evidence to nail Mark Meckler, one of the national coordinators of the Tea Party Patriots.  Here’s the cited ‘proof’ in the hard-left Mother Jones article…

  • Babenhausen Remembers

    George Rebane On Friday morning (15 October 2010) the Babenhausen Veterans and Friends were welcomed by Babenhausen’s mayor (Burgermeisterin Gabriele Coutandin) into its city council chambers specially configured for the long-planned ceremony.   Twelve of us former/retired Army officers along with our wives had returned to the duty station where we all served in the early…

  • Disconnected and Reconnected in Germany

    George Rebane We arrived in Germany last Friday, flying British Airways from SFO to London to Munich.  There we rented a car and took off into the countryside heading for southern Bavaria to attend the birthday gathering of a longtime friend we have known for 50 years.  About 35 people, most of whom we know,…

  • Is America Too Big?

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular column which appears in today’s (9oct10) print and online editions of The Union.  I have posted other thoughts along this theme in The Great Divide category.] Essayists and political commentators have been musing about the size and cohesion of America for decades, but in recent…

  • … of shoes and ships and sealing wax (and SBC)

    George Rebane The local blogs and my emails have been buzzing with questions and charges of how non-profit 501c3  organizations (like SBC) and private California corporations (like CABPRO) should deport themselves.  Apropos such organizations, attorney Barry Pruett (Inside NC Politics) has given good tutorials on the relevant sections of the tax code.  My problem with…

  • Terrorist Alert – The Brits Strike Back

    George Rebane Apropos to the Terror Alert issued yesterday in Europe and America (US State Department) – all American tourists should “be vigilant” for terrorist attacks across the continent – notification of this response came to us from a friend in Great Britain.  We are about to take off for a short European holiday and…

  • First things first (updated)

    George Rebane   [update]  Some of you may be wondering what happened last Saturday on the Washington Mall.  The One Nation rally was sponsored by the far left organizations which were reported here and here.  One of the more ardent sponsors of the rally that did not get top billing was the Communist Party USA; here…

  • Nevada County Treasurer – The Dai and Tina Show (updated 4oct2010)

    George Rebane Dai Meagher and Tina Vernon are the two candidates running for Nevada County Treasurer. Over the last few weeks there have been some rumors that Dai has had a tax lien in his financial past.  I asked Dai about this, and he confirmed to me that this indeed was the case, and the…
