  • Ruminations – 20aug13 (updated 21aug13)

    George Rebane The nation’s insanity continues unabated.  According to the Chicago Fox affiliate (you maybe expected a lamestream outlet?) a group of illegal aliens are on a hunger strike protesting that they haven’t been put on the list for government subsidized organ transplants.  Instead of a quick ticket back to Mexico – they are Mexican…

  • Nevada County’s Collaborative Technology Center

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 16aug13 KVMR radio commentary, plus a couple of snapshots.] Last Tuesday I attended the opening of the Nevada County Library’s Collaborative Technology Center or CTC.  The ribbon to the new 2,000 square foot facility was cut by country librarian Jessica Hudson after a few attending dignitaries had…

  • Ruminations – 2aug13

    George Rebane The surface calm during our cool summer is beguiling and more than misleading.  Over the years RR readers have had an early heads up on a number of national and international issues affecting us that are now coming home to roost, and several of them are already here.  All of them were pooh-poohed…

  • BB4 on Climate Change (updated 26jul13)

    George Rebane Breaking Bread Edition #4 on Climate Change will be recorded this Monday at the NCTV studios.  The issues discussion program will be hosted by Eric Tombs and I will be one of Eric’s guests.  Climate change is, of course, today’s more acceptable term for global warming, specifically man-made or anthropogenic GW, specifically correctable…

  • A Cultural Experience Countered

    George Rebane Last weekend Jo Ann and I attended an international gathering in San Francisco that celebrated the historical role of a culture over the last two centuries.  This event is held every five years in a different part of the world, and its nearby venue this year made attendance convenient for us.  People from…

  • Ruminations – 20jun13 (updated 21jun13)

    George Rebane So much bad stuff is happening that it’s literally hopeless to keep track of it any more.  A few samples follow. Asylum for climate change refugees.  A correspondent sends me this heads up on the latest from the idiot senator from Hawaii.  He writes, “Sen. Brian Schatz’s bill would create a sort of…

  • Buying Ammo in Obamastan

    George Rebane Buying ammo in a proto-autocracy is quite an experience.  This morning a friend and I arrived at 630am for the annual Father’s Day ammo sale at Miwall by the Nevada County airport.  They hand out number cards to serve you in the order of your arrival; we were 201 and 202.  The place…

  • Ruminations – 26apr13 (updated)

    George Rebane Lady Margaret Thatcher’s funeral, I keep coming back to it.  The occasion was one of those rare opportunities to recognize a giant in the pantheon of modern world leaders, and nations sent their most distinguished there to honor her achievements for her country and for demonstrating to the world the art of the…

  • US Murder Rate History [Addended] (updated 27apr13)

      George Rebane In doing some research for the upcoming Breaking Bread episode on the Second Amendment, I found this clear summary of America’s murder rate.  It is compiled by the Death Penalty Information Center using FBI statistics. These numbers and the trend overwhelm the infrequent episodic mass killings that have occurred over the last…

  • Gold plummets, but then why … ?

    George Rebane Has everyone been watching the goings on in gold and other precious metals lately?  Today the price of one ounce plummeted another 9.4%, making the price drop of that barbaric relic in the last few trading days to be the biggest in thirty years.  Astute observers tell us that Big Money (central banks,…
