  • George Rebne [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 February 2014.] It is election season again, and, frankly, it is becoming so that election season has become a perennial pageant.  With the troubles of Obamacare, Benghazi, IRS political targetings, DoJ’s fast and furious selective enforcement of laws, militarizing of federal…

  • George Rebane Ms Melinda Monaghan, member of CABPRO’s board of directors, sent me a copy of the 25feb14 letter the board mailed to its membership.  As most readers are aware, CABPRO has been going through some serious internal struggles for control between its Board of Directors and Mr Chuck Shea, its recent Executive Director.  Both…

  • George Rebane [From time to time it’s good to recall that a prime purpose of RR is to leave a record that in this day and age not all Americans were informationally deprived sheeple who daily swallowed the lies and propaganda of its Constitution defying and corrupt government peopled by the abysmally ignorant and terminally…

  • George Rebane I’m told that in the desire to denigrate, the claptrap from the local Left has again confused the issue of upcoming candidate forums sponsored by the NC Tea Party.  Here is the information on the series of candidate forums that will take place at 6:30PM in Ponderosa Hall at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.…

The Republicrats have repealed the requirement for a national debt ceiling, thereby allowing the Treasury to continue borrowing with…

  • Do not exhibit your sore finger; for all to strike upon, and do not complain of it, for malice always pounds where it hurts the most.  No use to get angry, for this will only add to the general amusement; evil intent goes sneaking around to uncover the infirmity, and prods about to discover where…

  • George Rebane With every passing day governments at all levels fear Americans more and more.  RR readers are well informed (here and here) on the unexplainable reasons why such diverse bureaus and agencies as EPA, US Forest Service, Dept of Eduction, NOAA, …, and now the USPS (here) are buying millions of rounds of small…

  • [This piece by Ms Jean Gerard was printed in the 4feb14 (paywalled) Union today.  Ms Gerard was not sure that it would be published, so she sent me the piece to appear on RR as her byline.  It is posted as received.  My own remarks are addended below.] Jean Gerard We’ve heard from several folks…

  • George Rebane Just a couple of observations from the other side of the tipping point.  The collectivist grip on our lives gets tighter by the day. Local leftwingers will demonstrate against the XL Keystone pipeline reports the 3feb14 Union.  The usual suspects from the Nevada County Climate Change Coalition (NC-CCC), coordinating with CREDO, Rainforest Action…
