  •   George Rebane Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez murdered four US Marines in Chattanooga before dying in a gunfight with police.  The FBI immediately took charge of the investigation, discovered some culpatory tweets from unknown locations, and briefed the President.  Our president then assumed his long-established stance of immediate amelioration by identifying this obvious raghead as just…

  • George Rebane As you again wish America a happy birthday, take a look at this rendition of ‘God Bless America’ led by John Wayne and all the show biz greats of 1970 some of whom get a mite choked up.

  • George Rebane Another dark day in the history of our Republic.  Obamacare (aka ACA) has survived its second encounter with SCOTUS.  In spite of the clear intent of Congress to goad states to get into the healthcare business; in spite of progressives in Congress intending the secretly composed and hastily passed healthcare law to promote…

  • George Rebane Late yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were at the annual company picnic of a recent high tech start up.  It was a jolly event held in a local park with well over a hundred people in attendance – the employees brought their families and significant others, their kids were running around and bouncing…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 June 2015.] For weeks now we have been hearing about the need to renew the Patriot Act that has authorized the federal government to collect data on literally every phone call made in the United States.  No probable cause was needed. …

  • George Rebane We again gratefully contemplate the terrible price paid by those who gave their all so that America may remain the land of opportunity and the home of the free.  The words and photo from Memorial Day – 30 May 2011 still apply.

  • George Rebane Thought I’d inject a little braggadocio for some of our county’s STEM elite young people.  This morning we celebrated the winners of the TechTest2015 at the annual TechTest Survivors’ Breakfast held at Tofanelli’s in Grass Valley.  TT2015 was the ninth presentation of this grueling four-hour merit scholarship exam (which you can inspect or…

  • George Rebane This afternoon the Nevada County Supervisors heard a presentation on the State of Jefferson by the movement's local steering committee.  It was followed by public comment from both pro and con residents of our county.  I made the following statement during the public comment segment. I too want to thank you for hearing…

  • George Rebane Gov Jerry Brown demonstrated to many of us that he has entered his dotage. The man called Sen Ted Cruz “unfit for office” for no other reason than the senator’s rejecting the politicized consensus of manmade global warming to which Moonbeam added that the same scientists now blame current weather events on a roundly rejected…
