  • The Liberal Mind – ‘You didn’t create anything, the government did.’

    George Rebane The lamestream has been extra silent about the Raisin Takings.  You do, of course, know about Horne v. USDA that started wending its way through SCOTUS last week?  This is where the government trucks pull onto your farm and demand that you fork over a percentage of your harvested crop for which they…

  • The Con-Con and SoJ debates

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 April 2015.  This commentary is apropos to the recent RR posts 'Constitutional Convention – the debate continues' and 'Suddenly SoJ has become real' and their respective comment streams.] Most people around here have probably missed what is happening with the efforts to…

  • Scattershots – 14apr15 (updated 15apr15)

    George Rebane Reading the papers this morning before running some errands in the flats, three little topics tickled my ire – which readers know is easier done than said. Columnist and nationally known analyst of international affairs Bret Stephens shared an insight about the liberal way of lying from our national scene.  He attributes the…

  • Taxpayer Liability and the Export-Import Bank

    [This piece was published in the April 2015 issue of The Nugget, the periodical of the Nevada County Republican Women Federated.  It is republished here to give RR readers a clear, complete, and concise exposition of the function and conduct of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, which is now wending its way through a…

  • California’s Drought and Moonbeam Madness

    George Rebane Governor Moonbeam’s latest dicta about how Californians should now take showers underlines the years long insane policies under which the Left has governed our state.  The most recently mandated 25% (of what) reduction of consumer water use is the direct result of “decades of environmental excess”. Since 2000 alone the public has expressed its…

  • Ruminations – 3apr15 (updated 4apr15)

    George Rebane We’re back from a three week trip that took us and two other couples down to Scottsdale in our RVs to attend the annual Mercatus Center conference.  Connectivity was iffy in the various RV parks we stayed on our travels, so apologies for the less than meticulous attention – ha! – I could…

  • Indiana practices religious freedom (updated 3apr15)

    George Rebane Indiana’s new law providing for the practice of religious freedom is not really a new law at all, but joined at the hip with bipartisan legislation – Religious Freedom Restoration Act – passed in 1993 and signed by President Clinton.  That law clarified and underlined the Constitution’s provision for not letting government define…

    George Rebane

  • Nevada County Economic Development

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 4 March 2015.] The rural counties of America are in economic doldrums.  Whatever recovery that is enjoyed in the populated urban areas is not trickling down very fast to the less populated counties located in our mountains and deserts. …

  • Scattershots – 25feb15 (updated 26feb15)

    George Rebane FCC to make the Internet into another plodding government regulated utility.  If tomorrow’s vote goes as expected by the progressive Left, the rapidly innovative years of the World Wide Web will be over for all Americans.  The liberals’ dream of so-called ‘net neutrality’ will be achieved, sold to the true believers with the…
