  • Scattershots – 11nov15 (updated 14nov15)

    George Rebane Today is Veterans’ Day, a national holiday with a bit of a convoluted history (here).  It started out as Armistice Day to honor those who served and fell in WW1.  Then through a series of congressional acts starting in 1954 it became a day to honor all veterans who served in the nation’s…

  • Catalonia yearns for independence

    George Rebane So contrary to the progressives’ push for a global leviathan are the yearnings of uncounted peoples each of whom share a common language, faith, heritage, traditions, and history.  The collectivist mind does not understand that such people above all want self-determination and independence, and a corner of the world in which they can…

  • RR Glossary & Semantics – V9nov15

    George Rebane From time to time RR's Glossary & Semantics is updated to provide readers with the more precise definitions of words that I use in my scribblings.  Since the information carrying capacity of English is decreasing, due primarily to run amok political correctness and the increase in national dumbth, such a glossary becomes necessary…

  • Frank Pinney on Preventable Global Warming

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr Frank Pinney for placing a full page ‘Paid Advertisement’ essay on the PGW hoax in the 9nov15 Union.  He summarizes in one place extensive data and information (covered here and on other regional blogs over the years) into one piece that also has a distinctly local flavor to it.  Its appearance now is timely due to the…

  • ‘Put down your arms, resistance is futile!’

    George Rebane I sent the following letter to The Union after reading the latest ‘resistance is futile’ offering from a well-meaning neighbor in Auburn. *** Mr Gregg Littell’s thoughtful 7nov15 piece, ‘The idea of 'armed rebellion' in the U.S. is ludicrous’, disturbs on several counts.  First and foremost his arguments ignore historical and ongoing realities. …

  • Sandbox – 6nov15

    [While Dr Ben Carson's political fate is being dissected on the 1nov15 sandbox, readers wishing to pursue other threads may now start fresh with sharing their insights on issues yet to be uncovered, or maybe not, for there are always a few dead horses out there who can do with another lash or two.  gjr]

  • On the way to our Uncommon Core

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 November 2015.] America’s K-12 education has suffered hard times for over forty years.  Tons of money have been blown into the winds, and all kinds of state and federal programs have been tried to improve the amount our kids learn and…

  • Ruminations – 4nov15 (updated 9nov15)

    "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." – Mark Twain George Rebane NPR reported this morning that conservatives across the country had a great night celebrating Republican and Tea Party victories in yesterday’s elections.  Meanwhile, the know-nothing local Left continues its happy dancing that everything to the right of socialism is doomed, and…

  • Sandbox – 1nov15

    [Time for some fresh sand. I'm concerned that we don't have a viable declared candidate in Nevada County's District #1 to oppose Ms Heidi Hall for Supervisor. Anyone have any ideas? gjr]
