  • EU responsible for illegals from Africa?!

    George Rebane Another indication of the ongoing feckless demise of the EU is its handwringing about the fatalities among people attempting to illegally enter Europe from the northern shores of Africa.  Before going any further, I submit that any reasonable person will admit that Africa is essentially a failed continent comprised of failed and dysfunctional…

  • Sandbox – 27apr15

    [For the record, 27apr15 The Union published my letter critiquing Mr George Boardman's column. The letter was also copied into the 23apr15 sandbox's comment stream as its opening comment.]

  • The Liberal Mind – ‘You didn’t create anything, the government did.’

    George Rebane The lamestream has been extra silent about the Raisin Takings.  You do, of course, know about Horne v. USDA that started wending its way through SCOTUS last week?  This is where the government trucks pull onto your farm and demand that you fork over a percentage of your harvested crop for which they…

  • Sandbox – 23apr15

    [The nearby photo of a massive dredging operation is of the Chinese busily enlarging some Spratly islands in the South China sea to better house their growing military presence there in order to cement their lawless takeover of the islands. This is a continuation of the crap that’s going on with Russia in the Ukraine…

  • The Con-Con and SoJ debates

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 April 2015.  This commentary is apropos to the recent RR posts 'Constitutional Convention – the debate continues' and 'Suddenly SoJ has become real' and their respective comment streams.] Most people around here have probably missed what is happening with the efforts to…

  • Constitutional Convention – The debate continues

    George Rebane In recent years both the Right and Left have launched initiatives to hold a constitutional convention (Con-Con) to settle some real serious issues on the future direction of these United States.  Promoters on both sides devoutly believe that there exist provisions and they have expertise to implement them to insure that the con-con…

  • Suddenly SoJ has become real (updated 19apr15)

    George Rebane The State of Jefferson movement was started over a year ago to offer northern Californians and the citizens of its thinly populated rural counties an alternative to being ignored by the social engineers, central planners, and bureaucrats in Sacramento.  The cry from these people has been ignored for over a generation, and working…

  • Sandbox – 16apr15

    [Readers were starting to complain about the old sandbox getting a bit "stale" (some would have chosen a more robustly descriptive term, but then we do promote decorum on these pages), so we open a new one.  This day is propitious for another reason, today I brought home my fourth Jeep Grand Cherokee and bid…

  • Scattershots – 14apr15 (updated 15apr15)

    George Rebane Reading the papers this morning before running some errands in the flats, three little topics tickled my ire – which readers know is easier done than said. Columnist and nationally known analyst of international affairs Bret Stephens shared an insight about the liberal way of lying from our national scene.  He attributes the…

  • Educational Performance? Look Under the Rug (updated 14apr15)

    George Rebane The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will be presented the ‘State of the Schools in Nevada County’ by Superintendent of Schools Holly Hermansen.  (Download State of the Schools in Nevada County April 14, 2015)  The presentation slides have the story, but not the complete story.  In them Ms Hermansen tells the Supes about how many…
