  • Wildfire Diary – 18aug20 (updated 20aug20)

    George Rebane PG&E turned off power on Hind Tit Road and told us it was part of the 1-2 hour rolling blackouts all across the state. Our blackout has now been rolling along for 17 hours.  Moreover, it was beyond cynical that they decided to turn off power to neighborhoods hurriedly preparing to evacuate from…

  • RL Crabb misses by a mile

    “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) George Rebane Our county’s celebrated and beloved political cartoonist and prominent leftwing thought leader, RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, got a twofer in the 15aug20 Union (on the editorial board of which he sits along with…

  • Scattershots – 14aug20 (updated 20aug20)

    George Rebane Facebook is going to up the ante on their campaign against ‘hate speech’ as if they really know what they’re talking about.  Their current semi-manual process of censoring content is already causing some serious pushback with customers and even customer nations (e.g. India).  There, as here, they run into problems of politicizing their…

  • Oi weh! – A new pain index

    George Rebane Due to my bride’s unfortunate fall that shattered her elbow and required urgent and complex orthopedic surgery to put the pieces back together, there has been a lot of talk about pain with the attending surgeon, medical techs, and physical therapists.  Everyone was interested in the magnitude or intensity of the pain.  And…

  • Ruminations – 11aug20 (updated 13aug20)

    George Rebane Countering imported BLM demonstrators.  Given that BLM has shown its true colors as a political ‘black lives don’t matter’ movement created to transform the country into a socialist state, and demonstrating their violent methods in other towns and cities, I suppose it’s not surprising that people in Nevada County are turning out to…

  • Civil Authority Unbridled

    [Rev Dan Prout is a Nevada County Christian minister of the evangelical persuasion, and a friend.  He sent this thoughtful piece to a circle of his friends and congregants.  It addresses an important viewpoint shared by many concerned Christians in the land, myself included, and a call to stand for what we believe.  I post…

  • A Batscat Challenge

    George Rebane Led by local leftwing intellectual legend Mr Steven Frisch, the readers and yours truly have been labeled “batshit crazy” in comment streams here and leftwing blogs elsewhere for doubting or debating the science behind major public issues like preventable manmade global warming, Covid-19 response policies, and even the effect of taxes on economic…

  • Doing it to ourselves – why? (updated 12aug20)

    [The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will again vote on Item 26 this coming Tuesday.  Item 26 involves the passage of an "urgency ordinance" that will levy draconian fines on NC residents and businesses for violating any of the decrees and diktats regarding Covid-19 passed by higher up government jurisdictions, and piles on a passel…

  • Sandbox – 7aug20

    [What no one talks about is the blatant fact that Joe Biden is now America’s Manchurian candidate as his platform has migrated from ‘bipartisan civility’ to hard left socialism.  That ol’ Bumblebrain is the ‘safe alternative’ to Trump and will bring the country back on even keel is perhaps the biggest lie that the Dems…

  • The Blessings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

    George Rebane Three-quarters of a century ago today, the first atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (6aug45), followed three days later by another one on Nagasaki (9aug45).  At that time WW2 had raged for six years having killed almost 85 million people.  The planned invasion of Japan’s home islands in November 1945 would have extended…
