  • Shamed into a strategy? (updated 17sep14)

    George Rebane The pen is mightier than the sword only to the extent that it can invoke the sword. Every stream of lame confusion put out by this administration is claimed to be “perfectly clear” by Josh Earnest, the shamelessly earnest shill who currently mans the WH press room.  That nothing this president says or promises…

  • Ruminations – 5sep14 (updated 6sep14)

    George Rebane Google is diving into the anti-aging drug markets by teaming with R&D firm AbbVie and deals with big pharma in the offing.  This is one of the inevitable tacks that the big search firm is taking with Dr Ray Kurzweil at its technology helm.  Kurzweil (q.v.), a proselytizer of the Singularity, is a longtime…

  • Medical Marijuana Cultivation Initiative – Nevada County Ballot Measure S (updated 6sep14)

    [This November Nevada County voters will decide whether to adopt a new and revised marijuana ordinance or keep the existing one.  The marijuana cultivation issue continues to generate more heat than light.  Here is one comparative analysis that was published in the September edition of The Nugget, the monthly newsletter of Nevada County Republican Women…

  • Silence of the Lambs (updated 14sep14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 30 August 2014.] It is now twelve years since WSJ Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by Muslim terrorists.  Since then countless thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in the name of their ‘religion…

  • Water, water everywhere, … (updated)

    George Rebane Water, water everywhere, but not a drop is yours. California’s drought induced by nature and amplified by government has migrated from reasonable discussion to political expedience.  This ongoing problem in our state has drawn much interest from RR readers, especially those living in the Sierra foothills where water is still abundant. Sacramento and…

  • Scattershots – 21aug14 (updated 22aug14)

    George Rebane Here is something for the data archeologists and anthropologists of the distant future – three disparate areas that share in the wholesale insanity that is ending America as we have known it.  But more important to note is that not many care about these issues. Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi is a stupendously successful drug to…

  • NGOs, come one, come all!

    George Rebane Nevada County is the home of record to one of the largest covens of non-governmental organizations and 501c3 foundations.  Most of these organizations are devoutly leftwing and doing their best to bring forward and implement the objectives of UN’s Agenda 21 (while loudly decrying anything of the sort).  Their work product has contributed…

  • The Foreign Policy of a Community Organizer (updated 13aug14)

    George Rebane It is hard to believe that someone can be elected to the highest office in the world, spend six years in the most expensive learn-while-you-earn educational program, and come out a reprobate dunce.  The man has the consistent counsel of countless advisers ranging from lackeys to bureau heads, department secretaries, and the Pentagon’s…

  • Ruminations – 9aug14 (updated)

    George Rebane IBM’s new NeuroSynaptic chip was recently announced and is making a big PR splash in the print and online media (more here and here).  The chip’s processing power is based on the parallel implementation of essentially identical ‘neuronal’ structures that mimic major sections of the brain’s neocortex.  We reported on one such promising…

  • Ruminations – 31jul14 (updated 3aug14)

      George Rebane Moonbeam’s bankrupt California continues to buy Latino votes with money we don't have. Our “balanced budgets” are achieved by not paying the state’s pension obligations.  And today facing over a half trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities, the governor announces that the state will “shelter immigrants”, those munchkins dumped by the hordes across our…
