  • Reinette on Voting

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be. Thomas Jefferson George Rebane For those new to Nevada County our Ms Reinette Senum (pictured) needs a bit of an introduction. She is the former mayor of Nevada City and a local liberal activist who has promoted many collectivist causes hereabouts.  I have worked with…

  • AI masters Go – time to apply brakes? (updated 30jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of days ago Google’s parent Alphabet (actually its DeepMind division) announced that their AlphaGo deep-learned software system has mastered the ancient Chinese board game Go.  This is a very big deal during these pre-Singularity years and marks a milestone toward intellectual peerage with humans.  AlphaGo is not just a souped-up version of…

  • ‘Pelline Protocol’ – exposed again (updated 29jan16)

    [Our friends Nancy and Eddie Garcia have been founders and leaders of several organizations favored by Nevada County conservatives, among them the NC Tea Party and the State of Jefferson movement. This week the local SoJ supporters assembled to celebrate having gathered well over 5,000 signatures to petition the Board of Supervisors to put on…

  • ‘The Affordable Plumbing Act’

    [This little dissertation was forwarded by a friend, and I post it for both its humor and explanatory power of the progressive mind.  Well, maybe it’s not all that humorous, but it does provide a change of pace hereabouts, and perhaps, just perhaps, may give rise to an awakening.  gjr] Only weeks after leaving office on…

  • Clashing Cultures Count

    George Rebane We read George Boardman’s 'Nevada County's supervisors cede leadership to sheriff on medical marijuana' in today’s (18jan16) Union on last Tuesday’s BoS MJ prezo by Sheriff Keith Royal et al. Generally it was a good piece, we had some inevitable nits because the changing face of MJ production and consumption in CA is a…

  • Local Left Situationally Unaware (updated 14dec15)

    George Rebane The local Left joins the national Left in their happy dance about the ‘Climate Change agreement’ reached in Paris this week.  What they don’t seem to appreciate is that it will have about as much impact on earth’s climate, no matter how widely it is accepted or rejected, as does the Iran deal…

  • The Tilt of The Union

    George Rebane Some time ago I reported (here) on the results of an audit on the ideological tilt of The Union performed by the Nevada County Republican Women Federated. This was in response to our local Left claiming that our newspaper had become ‘The Tea Party Gazette’.  As usual, these know-nothings missed the boat.  The…

  • Taqiya on Steroids? (updated 4dec15)

    George Rebane The San Bernardino massacre investigation continues.  Given the evidence to date, the authorities still cannot decide whether it was just ‘workplace violence’ or the latest attack by Islamic terrorists.  What is reported by the news services – Associated Press, WSJ, … – is pretty compelling (more here).  We do know that – 1. The…

  • ‘Tis the Season for Some Folly

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 2 December 2015.] Jo Ann and I hope that everyone had a meaningful and enjoyable Thanksgiving, and have properly girded themselves for the busiest, most stressful month of the year.  Rather than delve into another globe shaking issue or national catastrophe…

  • The Good Kind of Blacklist

    George Rebane Well, our little union educated, progressive darlins have once more confirmed the longheld Rebane Doctrine tenet that the Left proscribes free speech wherever it can establish a beachhead of power.  You can feel visible hatred from these mobs of ‘university students’ against those who disagree with them, and more importantly, also those who don’t support…
