  • Convention Capers 2016 – Democrat (updated 29jul16)

    George Rebane I thought that launching this forum a couple of days early would let us all do an orderly segue from bombast to abject denial that something more is needed than continuing the disaster of the last eight years.  It will be heart wrenching to witness the description of a bizarre alternate reality in the…

  • What a fine kettle of fish

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 July 2016.] It’s convention season and in our dear land the political fur is flying.  Tonight the Republicans will hear Donald Trump, their roughly anointed candidate for the presidency, accept his nomination and promise to sally forth to a November victory. …

  • Medical Marijuana Advocates hold Townhall (updated 21jul16)

    [Last night the various factions of the local MMJ stakeholders held a townhall gathering in the historic Nevada Theater.  It was moderated by Pascale Fusshoeller of Yubanet.com and broadcast live on KVMR.  Jo Ann and I were in attendance in the packed hall.  The on onstage panel of five made lengthy opening statements after which they…

  • Convention Capers 2016 – Republican (updated)

    George Rebane Lots to be said about the political party conventions, and this is the place to say them.  I woke up this morning to National Propaganda Radio carefully parsing Melania Trump’s speech around the few words that were similar to Michelle Obama’s equivalent speech in 2008.  Now I notice that the liberal outlets are…

  • Hillary’s First Loyalty

    [This column by my friend and Union editorial board member Norm Sauer (pictured) was published as a lead op-ed column in today’s (16jul16) Union.  Norm sent me a copy for early posting here, but I chose to hold back and not steal his thunder from the newspaper.  gjr] Norm Sauer What a week it was for Hillary Clinton.…

  • Reinette: ‘I will not resign’ (updated 18jul16)

    [13jul16 – This commentary sans update also appeared in the op-ed pages of today’s Union.]  George Rebane Well good for her, she has the courage of her convictions and the determination to represent her constituency – the people who voted for her.  While I take great exception to Reinette Senum’s grossly uninformed assertion that the…

  • The Day Justice Died (updated 8jul16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 6 July 2016.] Today millions of Americans believe that yesterday morning we saw justice publicly executed at the hand of a corrupt federal government.  And the executioner was none other than FBI Director James Comey, who was not supposed to wield…

  • ASA’s recommendations for new interim MMJ ordinance

    George Rebane Ms Patricia Smith, MMJ champion and president of the local Americans for Safe Access, invited Mr Eddie Garcia (NC SoJ steering committee) and me to have lunch and discuss the progress toward a draft of the new interim MMJ ordinance that the NC BoS will adopt before Labor Day.  The county and stake…

  • Scattershots – 29jun16 (updated 1jul16)

    George Rebane The AGW hysteria has become very hard to maintain in circles that still participate in scientific debate and within the public forum that follows such debate.  The hysteria is unaffected by such debate within the community of grant-funded scientists and their political sponsors (wherein the 'debate is over'), and of course their double dummy…

  • Brexit Ripples

    George Rebane The ripples from Brexit will travel far and wide, and in their turn give rise to more of what happened in the UK.  Brexit and its aftermath will once again confirm what we have here argued for years – people want to live where their culture is dominant and celebrate the self-determination to…
