  • Left’s Assault on Free Speech Unabated

    "When I use a word, it means precisely what i say it means, nothing more nor less", Humpty Dumpty George Rebane One of RR’s major tenets describing America’s political scene has been that the Left constantly and asymmetrically continues their attempts to silence conservative and libertarian political speech.  Even with recent disclosures like the IRS’…

  • Supervisor Weston to Manage County’s Unfunded Liabilities (updated 16nov13)

    George Rebane The 14nov13 Union announced that Supervisor Hank Weston will seek a 3rd term for the county’s fourth district.  Among the reasons for his re-election Mr Weston cited his “budgetary experience” that will now be necessary to manage the county’s response to its unfunded liabilities that are coming home to roost.  In particular CalPERS…

  • 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…
