  • Scattershots – 27may23

    George Rebane State Farm Insurance pulls out of California.  Another one of the country’s largest insurance firms will no longer write new policies in the once golden state where wildfire risk continues high and the state’s regulatory and tax environment makes the cost of rebuilding a house prohibitive at the permitted premium levels.  Bottom line…

  • Reckless Reparations

    George Rebane We as a nation-state have now reached the nadir of cohesion that keeps a society together and working to serve its collective needs.  This has been achieved through the introduction of a reparations policy for the nation’s black population, the cohort of Americans whose ancestors may have been enslaved by whites during the…

  • Communism Arrives in California

    From each according to his ability and to each according to his need – Communist Axiom George Rebane California consumers will soon be paying for their utilities according to how much money they make.  The long-denied face of Marxism will have arrived in full force if the utilities and the Public Utilities Commission have their…

  • New California – Our 51st State?

    George Rebane The initiative to launch part of California as a new state, provided for by a number of treaties, agreements, and founding documents, has begun (here).  No matter how legal and above board the effort to liberate at least part of the golden state from its mire of tyranny, this effort will be opposed…

  • ‘Democracy Dies in California’

    “To impose a new burden on fast-food restaurants, the state plans to ignore the constitution’s right of voters to review laws.” George Rebane California suffers a continuous stream of social, economic, and political disasters.  All of these are formulated, brought to bear, and implemented by the state’s virulently anti-American Democratic Party.  Most of the public…

  • Two blind mice

    George Rebane Celebrating political monopolies.  Leftwing thought leaders, syndicated Thomas Elias and local George Boardman, write with glee how California’s Democrat Party cancer continues to grow.  Having already metastasized the state, it is now starting to pick off the remnant low population rural counties in the northern part, leading with our Nevada County. (Their columns…

  • Name the bastards!

    George Rebane Rep Tom McClintock (R-CA4) writes ‘A Nation Without Borders Will Cease to be a Nation’ in the Washington Times.  In the piece he gives his usual erudite arguments that support his banner thesis.  But this open border travesty is not due to some natural disaster or act of God.  The closest he comes…

  • Scattershots – 21jun22 (updated 25jun22)

    George Rebane Solar Tax – California, as regular as the sunrise, is again showing the world that it knows how to expand its unchallenged butt-stupid ways to govern possibly the most blessed land mass on God’s green earth.  Sacramento, led by our idiot governor, is contemplating levying a tax on homes that have installed solar…

  • Who should vote? – Redux

    George Rebane In these pages we have circled this barn without resolution.  My own sentiments, and those of readers at the time, are available here.  The politically correct among us regularly encourage all should vote who can fog a mirror and are citizens.  Well, not exactly.  In recent years the anti-American woke and progressives have…

  • Check your PG&E bill (updated 11jan22)

    George Rebane PG&E continues to provide its customers with added dimensions of its incompetence as the power utility of northern California.  We have covered the litany of its poor performance in these pages, and now add another to the list.  The December bill arrived with a blatant and obvious overcharge for electricity not delivered.  During…
