  • Stopping School Shooters

    George Rebane We’ve said it here before about stopping school shooters, only guns will stop killers with guns.  That’s why police and the military carry them.  Israel recognized a long time ago that their schools were inviting targets for terrorists, and their response was to arm the schools – teachers, administrators, maintenance workers, …  Not…

  • Our New Cannabis Ordinance – A Civil Approach

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 February 2018.] Yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were in the packed supervisors’ chamber at the Rood Center.  The supes were there to discuss the new county cannabis ordinance and give guidance to the county staff about what they wanted to…

  • Sandbox – 14feb18

    [This is your Happy Valentine's Day sandbox in which we may pursue all the divers love affairs that ended badly with sexual harassment and abuse and … which are now the newly preferred weapon in the armory assembled to destroy President Trump's administration.  I'm sure when this has run its course, a new one will already…

  • Scattershots – 12feb18 (updated 15feb18)

    George Rebane Today we celebrate the closing of the National Hotel’s escrow.  Owner Tom Coleman is a longtime Rebane family friend and poker buddy (developer of the notorious Coleman Shuffle, the Coleman Deal, and, of course, the ever-reliable Coleman Dollar bet).  Tom called yesterday to tell me to get my butt down to the hotel…

  • Atrocious Asymmetries Abound

    George Rebane We take a look at the most recent lopsided lamestream reporting and actions by the Deep State – short version: the beat goes on. Hillary Clinton is an existential criminal as corroborated by abundant evidence released to the public and more that must still be classified.  An available paper trail, including money changing…

  • Why should the neighborhoods suffer revisited?

    [Don Bessee is a leading opponent of bringing legalized marijuana into Nevada County and specifically into its residential communities.  He is the regional director of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), and sits on its board.  Project SAM, founded by congressmen Patrick Kennedy and Kevin Sibet, is a national, non-partisan organization that coordinates opposition to the legalization…

  • Healthcare Apples, Oranges, and Fruitcakes

    George Rebane The perennial healthcare debate didn’t get any more clear with the latest release of US life expectancy data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the British Medical Journal.  Our life expectancy is 1.5 years lower than the average in OECD countries, and it decreased by another 0.1 year to 78.6…

  • Scattershots – 5feb18 (updated 9feb18)

    George Rebane Lots of pot businesses coming to Nevada City.  In the 5feb18 Union our George Boardman documents (here) the lament he shares with many of the town’s locals and most certainly many other county residents.  Now I’m a longtime proponent of legalizing MJ (to avoid Einsteinian insanity), but I’m not yet smart enough to…

  • Sandbox – 5feb18

    [We'll keep the 2feb18 sandbox open for some residual Nunes memo discussion until an update post on the now dueling memos.  Mea culpa for not have a general purpose sandbox open during this interval. gjr]

  • Deep State’s Natural Defenses

    George Rebane Capitalism’s cancer is corporatism, when corporations grow so large that they need government to stifle their competition and in the process kill capitalism. As we witness the massive lamestream and Democrat pushback on the Nunes memo (more here, here, and here), thoughts turn to how Deep State has survived and thrived over the…
