Month: September 2013

  • Nate Beason on Large Gatherings Ordnance

    George Rebane Given the interest in the recent ordnance on large gatherings on private land that Nevada County Board of Supervisors is considering, I promised to ask my supervisor (District #1) Nate Beason for some publishable clarification about what is intended and what is going on regarding this issue.  Specifically, I asked – 1.    What…

  • Rep McClintock on Resolving the Healthcare and Fiscal Dilemmas

    [Representaive McClintock made the following speech on the floor of the House today 28 September 2013.  It is here reproduced in its entirety.  gjr] Tom McClintock (R-CA4) Mr. Speaker:             A crisis is not a good time for inflammatory rhetoric and ad hominem attacks.  I will simply say that yesterday, the President missed an opportunity…

  • The Dawn of Perennial Easing

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 September 2013.] Something happened this week that will change the course of our country and our lives, something that few people noticed.  It happened while we were all in a lather about defunding Obamacare and funding government; while we worried about…

  • Sustainability Quantified (updated 9oct13)

    George Rebane Sustainability, especially of government programs such as healthcare, has been a constant topic of debate on RR since its inception.  Our friends on the Left have trouble understanding that a program is sustainable only to the extent that its cost doesn’t crowd out other programs and consume the country’s GDP in toto.  And…

  • Change Climate! Change dammit! (updated 27sep13)

    George Rebane Well, another six years has passed since 2007 when the IPCC issued its last load of hooey piled high and dry.  In Stockholm they are now putting the finishing edits on this year’s hernia pack that updates the latest “peer reviewed science” on the earth’s climate.  And on Friday they will release the…

  • Time to Live Forever?

    George Rebane A number of emails, articles, and recent announcements came together that made me again revisit the notion of man’s dream of physical immortality.  What if there were developed a pill that would genomically and/or proteomically rejuvenate a person, and taking such a pill every so many years would keep him going indefinitely?  It…

  • Ruminations – 20sep13 (updated)

    George Rebane The pressure from the local Left mounts on Sheriff Keith Royal who is slated to introduce Sheriff Mack during a major speaking event in Nevada County on 18 October next.  While Sheriff Royal has given no explicit support to the constitutional sheriffs movement, of which Sheriff Mack is a founder, just that he…

  • Ruminations – 18sep13 (updated 19sep13)

    George Rebane RIP Lavabit.  Lavabit has demonstrably been one of the most secure email services on the internet.  It is now closing its doors much to the consternation of the feds who have not been able to hack into Lavabit’s emails and servers.  And this story is worth a consideration to all Americans who pay…

  • Sheriff Mack to speak, Left’s undies knotting up (updated 18sep13)

    George Rebane The NC Republican Women Federated have been working hard to bring Sheriff Richard Mack to speak in Nevada County.  Today The Union ran a piece on the 18oct13 affair to be held in the GV Vets Hall.  Sheriff Mack is the founder of the nation’s constitutional sheriffs movement and a celebrated public servant…

  • Administrivia – 14sep13

    George Rebane Readers have noticed that RR has again become a target for spam comments; they appear to be mostly ads from different services/vendors.  In an attempt to fight this intrusive nuisance I have limited comments to a thirty day period following the date of my post. Several readers have suggested that I leave TypePad…
