  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 29aug16 (updated 1sep16)

    George Rebane OK, Donald Trump is beginning to sound more presidential as he sticks to the pillory Hillary script.  But I’m not sure of his new campaign leadership duo of Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.  Today on Fox News Sunday Ms Conway was given an opportunity to showcase The New Donald while interviewed by Fox’s stealth liberal…

  • Buying Votes and Voters

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 August 2016.] Student debt and college costs are out of control.  Under the passionate paeans of progressives over the last decades, we have been taught that we’re equal enough so that everyone will benefit from a college education and therefore everyone…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 13aug16

    George Rebane Democracies are stable only to the extent that they enjoy a cohesive ideological spectrum and in which questions are decided with close votes.  In such jurisdictions the alternatives decided are not inimical to each other, and everyone knows their vote on the matter counts.  In lopsided democracies the minority’s vote no longer counts, which then…

  • Dump Trump and Pillory Hillary – 5aug16

    George Rebane OK, boys and girls, I see that between now and November many of us will have real serious problems with the two main candidates running for president.  To date these feelings have proven so strong that they demand expression under posts of opportunity, posts that have more focused topics and whose comment streams don’t…

  • MMJ Ordinance – The Saga Continues

    George Rebane The years long debate on RR over how to deal with MJ grows in Nevada County now enters a new, and perhaps final phase.  Our latest post on this was ‘Medical Marijuana Ordinance – BoS Meeting’.   I want that post to be a preamble to the continued deliberations for NC's newly adopted MMJ…

  • Scattershots – 1aug16 (updated 3aug16)

    George Rebane The Republicans are rightly worried. Hillary rolls Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.  Hillary Clinton gave an impeccable interview yesterday in which she remained presidentially poised, in control, non-defensive, and as devious as she has ever been.  Interpreting and revising everything from congressional testimonies, FBI investigations, news videos, published emails, … . The woman…

  • ‘… stuck on 1% growth.’ (updated 2aug16)

    George Rebane On the last day of the Democratic Convention we suddenly saw some very un-Democratic displays of military officers on the podium, (borrowed) Old Glories galore, and shouts of ‘USA!, USA!, …’ from the floor.  So much in fact that NPR’s Weekend Edition had to do a feature piece on it asking experts what…

  • Ruminations – 27jul16 (updated 3aug16)

    “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”  Confucius George Rebane Since Turkey’s Erdogan most recently explained to the world of infidels – “Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers.  Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” – more and more articles now appear expanding on that truth…

  • Medical Marijuana Ordinance – BoS Meeting

    George Rebane Tomorrow the Nevada County Board of Supervisors will meet to “Introduce/Waive further reading/Adopt An Urgency Ordinance adding Subsections … (long list of subsections) … of Article 5 of Chapter IV, of the Nevada County General Code, regarding Marijuana Cultivation Regulations. (4/5 affirmative vote required)”  The meeting will be held in the Rood Center…

  • Reinette Senum – the aftermath (12aug16 update)

    George Rebane It appears that enough dust has settled around Ms Senum’s unfortunate remarks about the nation’s police departments that we can bring closure to the factors involved in the considerable support she has received for her (now clarified) sentiments.  My own support of her position was published in the 13jul16 Union and in these pages…
