  • Justice Antonin Scalia, 1936 – 2016

    Our country’s loss, the magnitude of which we will soon suffer.  Thank you, and rest in peace Justice Scalia

  • Bob Crabb, Mardi Gras Grand Marshal!

    George Rebane Congratulations and kudos to our friend and community icon RL ‘Bob’ Crabb for being most appropriately selected to head up this Sunday’s Mardi Gras parade in Nevada City. He and his lovely wife Mary Ann are featured on the front page of today’s Union.  In addition to a large photograph, the print edition also…

  • Iowa Caucus – quick thoughts (updated)

    George Rebane The clear winners were Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio. Neither were projected to make much of a showing against the self-adorned leaders of their parties.  Ted Cruz’s nominal victory is going to have a tough time running a successful race on its evangelical legs.  Things became more clarified for The Donald as he…

  • AI masters Go – time to apply brakes? (updated 30jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of days ago Google’s parent Alphabet (actually its DeepMind division) announced that their AlphaGo deep-learned software system has mastered the ancient Chinese board game Go.  This is a very big deal during these pre-Singularity years and marks a milestone toward intellectual peerage with humans.  AlphaGo is not just a souped-up version of…

  • ‘Pelline Protocol’ – exposed again (updated 29jan16)

    [Our friends Nancy and Eddie Garcia have been founders and leaders of several organizations favored by Nevada County conservatives, among them the NC Tea Party and the State of Jefferson movement. This week the local SoJ supporters assembled to celebrate having gathered well over 5,000 signatures to petition the Board of Supervisors to put on…

  • Ruminations – 25jan16 (updated 29jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of quick points to which we’ll add later. Hillary in an orange jumpsuit?  That was never supposed to happen if we recall our liberal cadres here assuring us that her email imbroglio was a baseless Republican dust devil that would soon be forgotten.  At a lunch today with people who have…

  • Swansong from an Alternate Universe

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 January 2016.  An edited version of it was also published in the 16jan16 Union.] Listening to President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night was a bit surreal.  The speech was remarkable in that he clearly described the alternate…

  • Political Expediency Ressurrects Local Tragedy

    George Rebane by In service of the massive ‘gun violence’ diversion revived and orchestrated by Obama to bolster Democrats’ hopes for November, we here in Nevada County have decided to suddenly observe the 15th anniversary of a local tragedy in which an insane resident went on a rampage and killed three of our neighbors.  Keenly aware…

  • A Holy Day not a holiday

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes to all who read these pages – God’s annual promise reissued.

  • Proud grandparents brag about granddaughter

    George Rebane Well, it’s time to toot Elizabeth’s horn. Jo Ann and I attended the science and math graduation ceremony here at the Tucson campus of the University of Arizona to watch our granddaughter Elizabeth graduate with dual degrees in Neuro & Cognitive Science and Molecular & Cellular Biology (easy for me to say).  She…
