Month: April 2017

  • Delegitimizing Trump

    [This commentary was submitted by Norm Sauer who is on the editorial board of The Union and often contributes his views to these pages.  The same piece appeared in the 26apr17 edition of the newspaper's op-ed section.  It appears below as received.  gjr] Norm Sauer In my column last month (http://www.theunion.com/opinion/norm-sauer-the-progressive-swamp-of-washington-d-c/), I predicted the surveillance…

  • TT2017 Survivors’ Breakfast

    George Rebane This morning we held the annual Survivors’ Breakfast for TechTest2017 at our usual venue, Tofanelli’s in Grass Valley.  The event was scheduled earlier than usual (0730) due to some school needs; after all this is a school day and we wanted to hold the lollygagging to a minimum.  This was the eleventh breakfast…

  • Scattershots – 25apr17 (updated)

    George Rebane College grads of 2017.  The good news is that enough workers have retired, been laid off, or just left the work force that is this “another healthy year for college hiring” report in the 25apr17 WSJ.  The bad news is that “this year’s job-seeking seniors are ill-prepared for the job hunt and many…

  • Lemmings march for science? (updated 22apr17)

    George Rebane We are told that tomorrow 22 April 2017 is again Earth Day, and are advised to celebrate with all manner of activities and observances designed for people of all ages – just google ‘earth day’ and prepare to be overwhelmed.  One of the more visible activities promoted by the Left is the ‘March…

  • How Deictic is Your Ontology?

    George Rebane While our Left, especially of the academic bent, assiduously works to stunt the English language – e.g. reduce/mangle the information carrying capacity of words – our technologists have been very busy expanding the language and introducing new words into English and other tongues.  This battle is both important and its outcome is not…

  • California’s Cacophony of Calamities (updated 20apr17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 April 2017.] California is, and has been for decades where it matters, a one-party state – the state’s legislature has been dominated by the Democratic Party since 1959.  The Democrats have called the tune and run things pretty much as…

  • The Still Muddled Middle (updated)

    George Rebane Recently consideration of America’s political landscape has resurfaced in these pages, motivated by Nevada County’s self-declared middle roader RL Bob Crabb who published a powerful condemnation of both the Left and Right upon which I expanded in ‘Oh, were it only that simple’.  From that Bob took umbrage at me, RR, and our…

  • He Is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • Scattershots – 15apr17

    George Rebane California’s new gas tax is the latest fraud from Sacramento, and part and parcel of the state’s progressivist plunge.  News comes in daily of more companies departing California for greener pastures – Texas and Nevada next door remain favorite destinations.  The latest gas tax is rammed through by the perpetually insane Dem supermajority,…

  • Ruminations – 14apr17 (updated 15apr17)

    George Rebane Judge Andrew Napolitano was right in his report about Obama’s backdoor use of foreign intelligence intercepts of Team Trump’s communications.  An astute reader (cf fish 857pm comment here) alerted us to the now emerging news also confirmed by CNN that the US does indeed trade intelligence, including communications intercepts, in this case to…
