  • Ruminations – 12nov13

    George Rebane Now the world, including the dyed-in-the-wool econut chorus, should know about the ‘greening of ethanol’, things that the rest of us (those who paid attention and knew arithmetic) have known for years.  The left leaning Associated Press no less has released a long expose – ‘The Secret Dirty Cost of Obama’s Green Power…

  • Ruminations – 20sep13 (updated)

    George Rebane The pressure from the local Left mounts on Sheriff Keith Royal who is slated to introduce Sheriff Mack during a major speaking event in Nevada County on 18 October next.  While Sheriff Royal has given no explicit support to the constitutional sheriffs movement, of which Sheriff Mack is a founder, just that he…

  • The New Class Divide (updated 14sep13)

    George Rebane             On Wealth – First create, then spread. [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 September 2013.] As promised, this commentary continues the examination of a new class divide in America that has arisen over the last 50 years.  The supporting data for this comes from multiple institutional…

  • Igor Birman for Congress

    George Rebane This morning Jo Ann and I drove to Folsom to attend Igor Birman’s announcement of his candidacy for Congress from California’s 7th congressional district.  We were not the only Nevada County residents to make the trek.  Even though we can’t vote for him, many of us who live up here see Igor’s candidacy…

  • The Great Divide through Restructuring? (updated 31jul13)

    George Rebane Eight counties in northeastern Colorado are looking at the possibility of becoming the nation’s 51st state.  Like so many idyllic locales in the country, Colorado’s population corridor along the eastern slope of the Rockies has been successfully invaded by progressives immigrating from places like California where they have managed to soil their own…

  • Ruminations – 19jul13 (updated++)

    George Rebane A fundamental tenet on RR has been that as government grows in size and scope, it also grows in becoming intrinsically evil through the conduct of its mega-monied politicians and recourse proof bureaucrats.  Here are some current observations that bolster that argument. Charities have become fiefs of big government.  How?  First, they take…

  • We the iSheeple

    George Rebane The RR category ‘We the Sheeple’ has been renamed ‘We the iSheeple’ in order to keep up with the times that require starting certain words with the lower case ‘i’.  Except for some outrageous ideas wrangled in these pages, RR has been pretty staid in its approach to format and matters of eye…

  • Travails of our Community Organizer (updated 30may13)

    George Rebane Actually, that should have been ‘… our out-of-depth Community Organizer’; but where to begin? The ongoing and growing scandals – Asleep or fiddling while Benghazi burns, Holder going after Fox News reporter, IRS going after conservative orgs, DOJ tapping into AP, … – are piling up faster than the administration spin doctors can…

  • Agenda21 – The Beat Grows Stronger (updated 26may13)

    More than two out of three Americans think that “government is out of control and threatening our basic liberties.”  Fox News poll reported on 21 May 2013. George Rebane Last night we attended the Agenda21 talk at the Grass Valley Veterans Center given by anti-Agenda21 activist and author Rosa Koire.  Her talk was sponsored by…

  • CTA on ‘cultural competency’ – a peek into the pus

    George Rebane Our society is covered with plenty of boils and pimples from our attempts to do the ‘right thing’ with all the political correctness we can muster.  A correspondent sent me a piece on the California Teachers Association website in which the union highlights the politically correct sensitivities and behaviors of teachers confronting students…
