  • Civil Authority Unbridled

    [Rev Dan Prout is a Nevada County Christian minister of the evangelical persuasion, and a friend.  He sent this thoughtful piece to a circle of his friends and congregants.  It addresses an important viewpoint shared by many concerned Christians in the land, myself included, and a call to stand for what we believe.  I post…

  • Doing it to ourselves – why? (updated 12aug20)

    [The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will again vote on Item 26 this coming Tuesday.  Item 26 involves the passage of an "urgency ordinance" that will levy draconian fines on NC residents and businesses for violating any of the decrees and diktats regarding Covid-19 passed by higher up government jurisdictions, and piles on a passel…

  • Absentee vs Mail-in Voting (updated 28aug20)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 August 2020.] There has been a lot of confusion about voting by mail in the media lately; mostly purposeful with the aim of promoting a political narrative.  I would bet a good hunk of the ranch that many KVMR listeners…

  • E Pluribus Unum – Still? Really? (updated 2aug20)

    George Rebane ‘There are more things that unite Americans than drive them apart.’  This shibboleth, or one in a similar vein, is often heard when conversation-lite turns to the polarization now visible everywhere in our land.  Unfortunately, these conversations don’t go much deeper than the participants sagely nodding their heads before abandoning the topic and…

  • Ruminations – 30jul20 (updated 5aug20)

    Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks.  Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away, poor fools.  And their grandchildren are once more slaves. – D.H. Lawrence George Rebane ‘America’s Summer of Cultural Suicide’ from Victor Davis Hansen is another voice that corroborates the sentiments of these pages.  With what we…

  • The Dilemma of a Disillusioned and Disaffected Republican (updated 31jul20)

    George Rebane To some questions a silent answer speaks volumes. Say that someone is a longtime Republican who, after much thought, has come to believe that – The national Republican Party (RP) is no longer a viable custodian, communicator, or champion of conservative and classical liberal values. The RP is in full ideological retreat with…

  • Election2020 – Electoral College Predictor

    George Rebane Something is possible when it can happen with non-zero probability; something is probable when the chance of its happening will impact a decision. One of our commenters pointed me to 270towin.com, a website that presents a map-based tool to predict the Electoral College (EC) votes which will determine our next president.  They show…

  • Letters from the Revolution – 24jul20 (updated 26jul20)

    George Rebane No one’s interests, objectives, values, … will exactly match yours.  The best you can ever do is support those with whom you share the most in common. Kudos to our local restaurants Old Town Café, Sergio’s, and Friar Tucks for remaining open and in business despite Gov Newsom’s unconstitutional diktats and the compliantly…

  • The Reliability Roulette of Testing (updated)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 July 2020.] It’s again time to bring up testing for the Covid-19 virus.  Let me start by saying that testing has shown no value in formulating reasonable pandemic response policies by public officials.  It has become an election year political…

  • The communists try again … (updated 17jul20)

    George Rebane From The Patriarch, David Nasaw’s mega-biography of the life and times of Joseph P. Kennedy, we read – The Depression, as Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., noted in the first volume of his The Age of Roosevelt, offered “radicalism its long awaited chance.”  The unemployed, underemployed, dispossessed, and hungry were not sitting idly by…
