  • Marriage by any other name (updated 5apr13)

    George Rebane California’s Prop8 rescinded gay marriage in the state.  The will of the people may now be overturned by the Supreme Court which is hearing the appeal to uphold Prop8 that in the interval was overturned as unconstitutional by lower courts.  In this debate we recall that under California law, gay couples can already…

  • Ruminations – 18mar13

    George Rebane You know you’re old when you realize that there’s a good chance that your pets will survive you. Benghazi is not going away.  Hillary’s ‘what difference does it make?!’ tantrum in front of the Senate is coming back in spades to haunt (and worse?) this administration.  Meanwhile, the WH continues to lie through…

  • Madness of the Green and Tort Kinds

    "… there is no weakness without its admirer, so be not discomfited because your ways displease some, for they will not fail to be pleasing to others; nor let their approval of them make you vain, for still others will condemn them."  Gracian #101 George Rebane Britain’s biggest coal fired power plant is being forced…

  • Ruminations – 8mar13 (updated 11mar13)

    George Rebane This is TechTest season, and we're in the middle of the preparatory seminars for this year's test to be given on 23 March.  In an ongoing discussion about Nevada County schools' performance in preparing students for STEM careers, I received a succinct summary (below) from a respected Nevada Union teacher about the problem…

  • Detroit – Collectivism’s Latest Poster Child

    George Rebane Detroit is cueing up as the nation’s latest testimony to collective mismanagement.  It is truly the poster child for what happens when you mix capitalist hubris, progressive pap, unions (public and private), and politically correct ignorance with generous dollops of corruption.  The result is a city that is now on the last stages…

  • Circus Maximus vs Sequester Minimus (Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 March 2013.] It’s hard to think good thoughts about what is going on in Washington and the competency of our government.  We seem to have entered into an endless sequence of crises, questionable appointments, and scandals which literally have no end –…

  • The Status of America’s K-12 Public Education

    George Rebane Education is the key to a strong democracy, economic competitiveness and a world-class standard of living. In recent decades, however, America has lost its place as a global leader in educational attainment in ways that will lead to a decline in living standards for millions of our children and the loss of trillions…

  • When laws become lawless

    George Rebane Last Tuesday night almost 300 Nevada County residents gathered to hear a report from our Congressman Doug LaMalfa, and a presentation by Stewart Rhodes of Oathkeepers in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall presented by CABPRO.  The very stark presentation by Mr Rhodes was on the progress of government overreach and focused much on…

  • Scattershots and Asteroids

    George Rebane In my scratch file for blog topics, items on the flood of government lies are overflowing.  I was going to do an update post on the most egregious ones.  There are so many ––    The new $9 minimum wage is going to boost the economy.  If so, why stop at $9?  Instead it…

  • A Growing Worry in the Land (updated 18feb13)

    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 February 2013.] Today everyone knows that we are a polarized nation and becoming more so by the day.  I want to talk about the reaction of a large segment of Americans who see their country slipping away.  This perception did…
