  • Nevada County’s Latest Economic Development Push (updated 4apr16)

    Ready, Fire, Aim! George Rebane Local folks who read, listen, or go online know by now that our Economic Resource Council (the politically acceptable name sans that dreaded ‘development’ in its moniker) is putting on its now annual economic development extravaganza this Thursday, 7 April 2016.  Yesterday ERC publicist Janet Augstein broadcast its latest online…

  • MJ – the numbers game (updated 5apr16)

    George Rebane The importance of every social issue derives only from the numbers which underpin it. Without understanding the numbers, our response is limited to unfounded and misplaced emotions. A major RR tenet has been the importance of numbers in the discussion/development of public policy, and the need for a numerate population to maintain our republic.  I’ve posted…

  • California’s Economic Dive Picks Up Speed (updated)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast a bit belatedly on 1 April 2016 due to mutual scheduling problems.] California is ready to hasten its spiral into economic destitution with its new legislation to make $15/hr the new statewide minimum wage over the next few years.  As such our state…

  • The Candidates on Abortion

    George Rebane Chris Matthews interviewed Donald Trump and asked how the pregnant woman should be treated if she sought an abortion in a jurisdiction wherein it was illegal. His off-the-cuff answer was that the woman should be held responsible in some manner.  Everyone on and off the campaign trail went ballistic. Offline and at his…

  • Ruminations – 28mar16 (updated 29mar16)

    George Rebane All sorts of news outlets, save the lamest of the lamestream, today report that Fidel has written Obama an ‘up yours’ letter subsequent to our president’s obsequious visit to Cuba. You can bet that this from-the-sidelines message was Raul’s idea.  Add to that his Tango Trip to Argentina, is there no one in…

  • He is Risen!

    The three words that changed the world, and unto this day stand between us and oblivion.

  • Scattershots – 21mar16 (updated 22mar16)

    George Rebane Today in the 21mar16 Union columnist and RR reader Mr George Boardman reminds us of the tautology that members of our 99% also avoid accountability. He corroborates this with an anecdote or two, as if any were needed.  Very little thought already reveals that the population which overwhelmingly avoids accountability resides in the…

  • ‘The Great American Disconnect’

    George Rebane Government is an intrinsically evil collective, cynically organized, incompetently operated, and staffed by people not all of whom are evil.  For this reason alone, citizens must keep their governments small and always on a short leash. World history is powered by the strong urge of like-minded people seeking and protecting land on which to…

  • The NRA and Gun Control

    George Rebane Power in every nation-state is a zero sum game between its citizens and their government. These two videos on the history of the NRA and the black experience with the Second Amendment pretty much summarize the Rebane Doctrine on the role of ownership and use of firearms by a free people seeking to…

  • The Stop Trump Terrorists (updated 20mar16)

    George Rebane As did Hitler’s Brown Shirts, so have other socialist/communist thugs and roughnecks throughout recent history been the ones to physically disrupt the gatherings of their political opponents. This is what happened yesterday in Chicago at the planned Trump rally (here), and appears to be the start of this election season’s violent phase –…
