  • George Rebane Predictably Barack Hussein Obama voiced his conclusions and exhortations for gun control before the Roseburg bodies had cooled, the wounded were out of surgery, and any relevant information about the shooter and the shootings had been released by the police – anything to take people’s minds off his debacles in Syria, Iraq, and…

  • George Rebane It is clear the Left’s “climate scientists” can be anyone with the politically correct attitude toward AGW.  It is a different matter for the AGW skeptics, their bona fides must include a degree in climatology for openers, else they are dismissed as not qualified to speak on the issue of anthropogenic global warming. …

  •   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 Lowell Robinson RIP.  A sad email from a friend this morning reported the passing last night of Lowell Robinson, one of the giants of our community.  Lowell was the founder of what today we know as Robinson Enterprises, a multi-faceted business that has served Nevada County for decades.  He also put his money…

  • 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…
