  • An evening with Victor Davis Hanson (updated 10oct18)

    George Rebane Last Saturday evening we loaded some friends in the car and headed for the Grand Sheraton in Sacramento to attend a fundraiser for Congressman Tom McClintock.  We’ve known Tom for years and continue to support him in our neighboring congressional district.  The evening featured a talk and Q&A with Victor Davis Hanson.  Professor…

  • Ruminations – 21sep18 (updated 26sep18)

    George Rebane Fall equinox (22sep18, 1845PDT) observance preparations should be completed in time by the devout and/or deluded for tomorrow evening’s passage of the sun directly overhead (somewhere) at the equator on its journey south for our fall and winter seasons.  (This is a public service announcement.)

  • Trump’s Trade Wars Triumphant?

    George Rebane In my 10jul18 ‘Trump’s Trade War’ I opened with the puzzlement that most of his supporters have had lately about the tariffs that he has initiated – “Unless President Trump has something up his sleeve on the outcome of the current tariff tussle and ensuing trade war, I think our fearless leader is…

  • Scattershots – 3jul18 (updated 4jul18)

    George Rebane It’s Fourth of July time again.  Tonight the gates open at 630pm for the Music in the Mountains Patriotic Pops Concert on the great lawn of our fairgrounds.  Lots of great music and ceremony and flyover and food and drink and … .  Come with your family to celebrate our declaration of independence. …

  • National dumbth on parade, again (updated 1jul18)

    George Rebane Today the nation will witness ‘hundreds of thousands’ of Americans demonstrating against what is represented as “Trump’s immigration policy”.  The demonstrations are sponsored by the usual leftwing anti-American and socialist organizations, and will focus on the ‘separation of children’ aspect of US Code (including our extant immigration law) that requires the separation of…

  • Tom Coleman, RIP

    George Rebane My dear friend and one of Nevada County’s iconoclastic gentlemen and longtime community leaders Tom Coleman died last night in Reno of heart failure.  He was playing poker when he collapsed and was taken to the hospital where doctors did all they could, but were not able to save him.  Tom was the…

  • Ruminations – 22jun18 (updated 24jun18)

    George Rebane Dr Charles Krauthammer (1950-2018).  This man was an intellectual staple in our house for at least twenty years, and his most recent stint on Fox News brought him to our dinner table on an almost daily basis.  His towering intellect, expansive knowledge base, exquisite reasoning, and gentle, often self-effacing humor made him a…

  • Scattershots – 25may18 (updated 27may18)

    George Rebane Legal CCW guns continue to save lives.  The recent spate of shootings again demonstrates that only a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun – everything else is progressive blather.  A reader’s comment highlights the FBI’s recently released ‘Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2016 and…

  • Kelly Sadler’s “insult”

    George Rebane Last week, White House aide Kelly Sadler said McCain’s opposition to Gina Haspel’s nomination to be the next CIA Director didn't matter because he’s “dying anyway."  Ms Sadler’s comment was made during a private, closed door planning session in the White House concerning how now-confirmed CIA Director’s nomination was to be managed through…

  • Scattershots – 9may18 (updated)

    George Rebane When I speak of the notion that ‘the Left is evil’, I am not talking about some outlier faction representing a minuscule fraction of that population.  Invoking that notion for me requires showing that a large fraction, which includes the Left’s thought leaders and intellects, is practicing a given evil policy.  Here is…
