  • Thoughts on Marijuana and Measure S

    George Rebane Measure S to replace Nevada County’s current Ordinance 2349 specifying how medicinal marijuana (MMJ) has become our community’s latest cause celebre and also the casus belli between the pro and anti Measure S factions.  Measure S is a public initiative on the November ballot to replace the current 2349.  Both S and 2349…

  • Walking Back Climate ‘Science’ & Policy (updated 22sep14)

    Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.  Luke 23:34 George Rebane On the front of the 20sep14 edition of WSJ is a top-of-the-page herald that reads ‘Climate Science is NOT Settled’ (emphasis theirs; source of filched photo).  I have waited at least ten years for the world’s preeminent newspaper to publish a…

  • Water, water everywhere, … (updated)

    George Rebane Water, water everywhere, but not a drop is yours. California’s drought induced by nature and amplified by government has migrated from reasonable discussion to political expedience.  This ongoing problem in our state has drawn much interest from RR readers, especially those living in the Sierra foothills where water is still abundant. Sacramento and…

  • ABCs of California Business (updated 27aug14)

    George Rebane With the new gas taxes staring us in the face after the new year, you just can’t say enough about the socialist mindset that is driving out California businesses, causing them to expand elsewhere, and convincing outsiders to not to start new enterprises here.  The only exceptions that the socialists can point to…

  • NGOs, come one, come all!

    George Rebane Nevada County is the home of record to one of the largest covens of non-governmental organizations and 501c3 foundations.  Most of these organizations are devoutly leftwing and doing their best to bring forward and implement the objectives of UN’s Agenda 21 (while loudly decrying anything of the sort).  Their work product has contributed…

  • Ruminations – 31jul14 (updated 3aug14)

      George Rebane Moonbeam’s bankrupt California continues to buy Latino votes with money we don't have. Our “balanced budgets” are achieved by not paying the state’s pension obligations.  And today facing over a half trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities, the governor announces that the state will “shelter immigrants”, those munchkins dumped by the hordes across our…

  • State of Jefferson Townhall in Penn Valley (updated 4aug14)

    George Rebane RR has posted on the national movements to break bigger states into smaller ones as part of the impetus to achieve some form of America’s Great Divide (here).  These movements are birthed by the realization by large cohorts of conservatives in the several states that they are no longer represented in their states’ legislatures,…

  • Ruminations – 1jul14

    George Rebane [Our regular DSL is still out.  This is posted using my iPhone hot spot feature.  Hopefully, ATT will install Uverse this afternoon.] ‘The Worldview that Makes the Underclass’ by Dr Anthony Daniels, a British physician widely published and much experienced in the trenches of society’s detritus, is an excellent summary of the message…

  • State of Jefferson: A long shot, but …(Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 June 2014.  As promised, here I have addended additional information and thoughts to the aired commentary.] Our Founders were right, unbridled democracy does not work as the basis for a stable government.  James Madison said it best – “Pure democracies have…

  • Public Education – A ray of hope

    George Rebane RR has long maintained that an alarmingly large fraction of K-12 teachers are incompetent and care little for the young people they are charged and compensated to teach.  The aggregate of that profession is already drawn from the bottom quintile of college graduates (I didn’t want to sully the use of ‘academics’).  While…
