  • The Sad Tale of Lakeview, OR

    George Rebane Traveling with some friends, we just returned from a visit to Lakeview – at 4,798 feet ‘The Tallest Town in Oregon’.  Lakeview sits at the north end of Goose Lake, a huge drainage basin shared by California and Oregon.  It also advertises itself as the ‘Gateway to the Oregon Outback’ which is the sparsely…

  • Happy ‘Heckler’s Veto’ for 2015 (updated)

    George Rebane For years RR has documented the sad retreat of our fundamental rights and liberties, the withdrawal of which has not caused many an eyebrow to be raised among the country’s gruberized hosts.  Instead, it has given rise to celebrations of every newly minted political correctness by our neighbors on the Left – for…

  • Gruberize them early

    George Rebane I was chagrined but not surprised reading about Obama’s new implementation of pre-K education through his Early Head Start and Child Care Partnerships.  These federally funded programs promise to create a new bureaucracy and enlarge old ones while once again reducing the states’ ability to educate their own young.  I’m not sure how…

  • Scattershots – 6dec14 (updated 10dec14)

    George Rebane Reading the 6dec14 Union this morning, I noticed a spattering of feedback from conservatives and progressives that the editors had assembled.  Jobs and economic development have been elusive objectives for years in Nevada County.  Now that a ton of new environmental regulations are coming down the pike, it is interesting to see how both…

  • Socialist Bamboozles Collective

    George Rebane When I read Steve Frisch’s ‘Sustainable jobs, sustainable communities’ piece in this morning’s 28nov14) Union, I almost sprayed my coffee all over the breakfast table.  Pre-rainstorm chores kept me from leaping on the keyboard until now.  RR already drew some commenting from a couple of readers one of whom, Russ Steele, posted an excellent…

  • It’s not the lack of paperwork (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane We’re back in illegal alien season again.  The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as ‘undocumented immigrants’.  This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before…

  • Two More Shots Across the Bow

    [Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber admits multiple times that "stupid Americans" had to be lied to in order to get President Obama's 'landmark achievement' into a law that now daily exposes how cynical and autocratic our government has become, and how the lickspittle lamestream is supporting the Big Lie (more here).  But then RR reported that way…

  • No Middle Ground in Sight (update 23oct14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 October 2014.  Starting today, my commentaries have been moved from Friday evenings to Wednesdays’ 6pm news hour.] In less than two weeks Americans go to the polls and vote in an important mid-term election to determine the extent and progress…

  • Deconstructing America (updated 20oct14)

    [Mr Sauer is a retired lawyer living in Nevada City who currently serves on The Union’s editorial board.  He drafted the following reply to a commentary by Ms Cheryl Cook, also a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, that was published in the 9sep14 issue of The Union.  For readers having difficulty accessing Ms Cook’s…

  • Is the State of Jefferson politically sustainable?

    George Rebane Last night Jo Ann and I attended the SoJ town hall meeting at the GV Elks Club.  This meeting was announced here, and it drew a full house.  The well-organized gathering was set up by the NC SoJ steering committee under the very able leadership of Eddie Garcia.  I even noticed that Jim…
