  • The Millennials have Sustainably Tipped Us (updated 16jul15)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 15 July 2015.] You’ve all heard of generational groupings like the so-called Greatest Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen Xers.  Well, the latest are the Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1997.  This cohort is now in their young adult years, and…

  • Continued Confirmation of Collectivist Constituents’ Cognition

    George Rebane One of the major RR tenets over the years has been that the voters, those who resonate with the promises and programs promoted by the Left, are more than somewhat stunted in their abilities to comprehend and reason about the issues of the day.  Admittedly these issues have become more complex as our…

  • The Big Government Go Along (updated 7mar15)

    George Rebane I think Union publisher Jim Hemig gets it.  This morning’s (6mar15) Union has another piece by Hemig in which he supports the 12may15 presentation to our Board of Supervisors on the movement to create the new State of Jefferson.  After some pretty deep heel marks on the floor, the persistent efforts of Mr…

  • It’s not the lack of paperwork (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane We’re back in illegal alien season again.  The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as ‘undocumented immigrants’.  This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before…

  • Ruminations – 21nov14 (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane Retired lawyer and Union editorial board member Norm Sauer wrote another letter to the editor yesterday (here) about crime rates and gun ownership that predictably tied some undies of the looney Left in knots.  A correspondent advised me that this caused one of these worthies, a critic and former employee of the newspaper, to even…

  • No Middle Ground in Sight (update 23oct14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 October 2014.  Starting today, my commentaries have been moved from Friday evenings to Wednesdays’ 6pm news hour.] In less than two weeks Americans go to the polls and vote in an important mid-term election to determine the extent and progress…

  • Deconstructing America (updated 20oct14)

    [Mr Sauer is a retired lawyer living in Nevada City who currently serves on The Union’s editorial board.  He drafted the following reply to a commentary by Ms Cheryl Cook, also a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, that was published in the 9sep14 issue of The Union.  For readers having difficulty accessing Ms Cook’s…

  • Is the State of Jefferson politically sustainable?

    George Rebane Last night Jo Ann and I attended the SoJ town hall meeting at the GV Elks Club.  This meeting was announced here, and it drew a full house.  The well-organized gathering was set up by the NC SoJ steering committee under the very able leadership of Eddie Garcia.  I even noticed that Jim…

  • A Nation in Denial

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 September 2014.] Are we in information overload?  It’s hard to think back to a time when Americans have been in such deep denial about so many things going on in the world – both here and abroad.  When I begin…

  • Rumblings of the Great Divide

    George Rebane A main theme and designated category of posts in these pages is the idea of the Great Divide.  The idea has been growing for some years now as the country polarizes, taking opposite sides of achieving objectives for the future organization of society best summarized under Agenda 21 (q.v.).  While not embraced solely…
