  • Gun Violence Community Dialogue & Town Hall Update (updated 21apr18)

    George Rebane Silly me.  And here all along I thought I knew what is a community dialogue in a town hall format.  You know, a gathering for which they make a big announcement for everyone interested to gather together, hear some speaker(s), and then everyone has a chance to be heard.  Au contraire mon ami. …

  • Gun violence town hall in Nevada City (updated 7apr18)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 April 2018.] Today the Second Amendment and gun violence are on the minds of many people.  Both subjects have widely different meanings for Americans, and the usual conversations held on these topics more often than not find people talking past each…

  • Stephen Hawking, RIP

      Dr Stephen Hawking, Physicist (1942 – 2018)

  • The Progressives’ Parkland Pawns (updated)

    George Rebane Everyone now knows how the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School became very visible gun control and confiscation advocates after the massacre at their school which also highlighted massive government failures, cowardice, and LE incompetence.  The students were able to organize themselves into several functional and mobile teams that confronted the media,…

  • Our New Cannabis Ordinance – A Civil Approach

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 February 2018.] Yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were in the packed supervisors’ chamber at the Rood Center.  The supes were there to discuss the new county cannabis ordinance and give guidance to the county staff about what they wanted to…

  • Scattershots – 12feb18 (updated 15feb18)

    George Rebane Today we celebrate the closing of the National Hotel’s escrow.  Owner Tom Coleman is a longtime Rebane family friend and poker buddy (developer of the notorious Coleman Shuffle, the Coleman Deal, and, of course, the ever-reliable Coleman Dollar bet).  Tom called yesterday to tell me to get my butt down to the hotel…

  • Scattershots – 5feb18 (updated 9feb18)

    George Rebane Lots of pot businesses coming to Nevada City.  In the 5feb18 Union our George Boardman documents (here) the lament he shares with many of the town’s locals and most certainly many other county residents.  Now I’m a longtime proponent of legalizing MJ (to avoid Einsteinian insanity), but I’m not yet smart enough to…

  • Deep State’s Rogue Roots (3feb18 update)

    George Rebane In a republic the only government oversight the people have is through their elected representatives, and that is necessarily political. The 2feb18 release of the Nunes memo underscores a serious concern that has arisen among most Americans since the Obama era national elections, and now heightened by the suspicious goings on during and…

  • Cirque du SOTUS (updated 3feb18)

    George Rebane President Trump’s State of the Union speech highlighted the roots of congressional dysfunction and confirmed that we are more polarized than ever in choosing our country’s future.  The Democrats in the audience, in their multiple counter-speeches, and subsequently in the media have demonstrated that they have no intention of either celebrating benefits enjoyed…

  • Ruminations – 23jan18 (updated 27jan18)

    George Rebane Russian concert this Friday at the Amaral Center, NC Fairgrounds.  This is an evening of fantastic music presented by Music in the Mountains that includes Rocky's immortal Piano Concerto #3.  Just had to get this out to you (more here).  And fear not, more ruminations later.  [27jan18 update]  Last night’s Russian concert was outstanding…
