Month: July 2016

  • ‘… stuck on 1% growth.’ (updated 2aug16)

    George Rebane On the last day of the Democratic Convention we suddenly saw some very un-Democratic displays of military officers on the podium, (borrowed) Old Glories galore, and shouts of ‘USA!, USA!, …’ from the floor.  So much in fact that NPR’s Weekend Edition had to do a feature piece on it asking experts what…

  • Ruminations – 27jul16 (updated 3aug16)

    “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”  Confucius George Rebane Since Turkey’s Erdogan most recently explained to the world of infidels – “Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers.  Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” – more and more articles now appear expanding on that truth…

  • Medical Marijuana Ordinance – BoS Meeting

    George Rebane Tomorrow the Nevada County Board of Supervisors will meet to “Introduce/Waive further reading/Adopt An Urgency Ordinance adding Subsections … (long list of subsections) … of Article 5 of Chapter IV, of the Nevada County General Code, regarding Marijuana Cultivation Regulations. (4/5 affirmative vote required)”  The meeting will be held in the Rood Center…

  • George Boardman nails it

    George Rebane Columnist and RR reader George Boardman wrote an excellent and timely critique of California’s STEM education available today in our secondary schools.  Not only did he present relevant stats on the status of courses offered across the state, he also gave a chilling summary of the new revisionist history and social studies subjects that…

  • Reinette Senum – the aftermath (12aug16 update)

    George Rebane It appears that enough dust has settled around Ms Senum’s unfortunate remarks about the nation’s police departments that we can bring closure to the factors involved in the considerable support she has received for her (now clarified) sentiments.  My own support of her position was published in the 13jul16 Union and in these pages…

  • Convention Capers 2016 – Democrat (updated 29jul16)

    George Rebane I thought that launching this forum a couple of days early would let us all do an orderly segue from bombast to abject denial that something more is needed than continuing the disaster of the last eight years.  It will be heart wrenching to witness the description of a bizarre alternate reality in the…

  • Sandbox – 22jul16

    [The slaughter of the innocents continues now on a daily basis by an enemy whose name we cannot say within the confines of progressive thought.  Why? Because naming the enemy will make no difference in our policy to secure America.  gjr]

  • What a fine kettle of fish

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 July 2016.] It’s convention season and in our dear land the political fur is flying.  Tonight the Republicans will hear Donald Trump, their roughly anointed candidate for the presidency, accept his nomination and promise to sally forth to a November victory. …

  • Medical Marijuana Advocates hold Townhall (updated 21jul16)

    [Last night the various factions of the local MMJ stakeholders held a townhall gathering in the historic Nevada Theater.  It was moderated by Pascale Fusshoeller of Yubanet.com and broadcast live on KVMR.  Jo Ann and I were in attendance in the packed hall.  The on onstage panel of five made lengthy opening statements after which they…

  • Convention Capers 2016 – Republican (updated)

    George Rebane Lots to be said about the political party conventions, and this is the place to say them.  I woke up this morning to National Propaganda Radio carefully parsing Melania Trump’s speech around the few words that were similar to Michelle Obama’s equivalent speech in 2008.  Now I notice that the liberal outlets are…
