  • SummerFest2017

    George Rebane This year the annual Music in the Mountains SummerFest returns to the Nevada County fairgrounds.  It features the six concerts shown below assembled by MIM Artistic Director Peter Nowlen and Executive Director Mieko Hatano.  Except for the 25jun17 chamber music concert at St Joseph’s, the remainder will be performed out of doors.  Four…

  • Elections or Polls – take your pick

    George Rebane The Left predicted that yesterday's elections would be a referendum on Trump – well, it turns out they were right. Yesterday was a disaster for the Democrats, and today everyone from their media mentors to their grassroots minions are scrambling to put enough lipstick on last night’s election results to distract the distractable. …

  • Scattershots – 25may17 (updated 26may17)

    George Rebane Former President Obama willfully violated Americans’ 4th Amendment rights for years by authorizing and executing large-scale surveillance on all electronic communications by our intelligence agencies (primarily NSA). He did this in the face of protests from the FISA court from which by law he is supposed to seek authorization before conducting such ‘wiretaps’.…

  • Ruminations – 10may17 (updated 14may17)

    George Rebane Comey is fired, and as pundits on both sides are now discovering that it was for the reasons apparent to (almost) all of us on RR last July (here, here, and here for openers).  Those who still think the dismissal of this well-dressed doofus will affect ongoing FBI investigations are just whistling past…

  • Lemmings march for science? (updated 22apr17)

    George Rebane We are told that tomorrow 22 April 2017 is again Earth Day, and are advised to celebrate with all manner of activities and observances designed for people of all ages – just google ‘earth day’ and prepare to be overwhelmed.  One of the more visible activities promoted by the Left is the ‘March…

  • Ruminations – 14apr17 (updated 15apr17)

    George Rebane Judge Andrew Napolitano was right in his report about Obama’s backdoor use of foreign intelligence intercepts of Team Trump’s communications.  An astute reader (cf fish 857pm comment here) alerted us to the now emerging news also confirmed by CNN that the US does indeed trade intelligence, including communications intercepts, in this case to…

  • Ruminations – 7apr17 (updated 13apr17)

    George Rebane Hallelujah!  Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate and will now fill the ‘Scalia seat’ on SCOTUS.  This brilliant constitutional jurist is just what the country needs to slow our headlong rush to socialism, and assure us all that the high court will fulfill its constitutional role without encroaching on Congress or…

  • TechTestJunior Expands in 2017 (updated 28mar17)

  • The Wikileaks Conundrum Resolved

    George Rebane Bankable stereotypes:  Government regulators are imperious, hubristic, and unbelievably ignorant in proportion to the power they wield. Recently friends and colleagues have asked for my takes on the Wikileaks phenomenon, especially as it applies to its release of classified information and data that our government claims will compromise our national security.  The problems…
