  • George Rebane Last Friday I attended a part of what has now become institutionalized as a biennial ceremony that passes for efforts to develop business in Nevada County.  I think I have attended about five of these during the years we’ve lived here.  This one featured the elected city councils and the county’s Board of…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 September 2012.] The events of this week continue to highlight the long held conclusion that we have an amateur in the White House.  As more becomes known about the attacks on sovereign US territories in Cairo and Benghazi, we are discovering…

  • George Rebane Well, it appears that Glenn Beck is back, and in spades.  Where before he had just an hour on Fox News, he has virtually taken over Dish TV’s channel 212 programming.  His format is basically the same with some news programming added on.  I still don’t understand how many of his hour long…

  • George Rebane 9/11 was a horrific day in American history, when we were attacked by Islamic religious zealots who willingly sacrificed themselves in the service of their jihad against western civilization and its “Great Satan”, the United States. A similar surprise attack occurred on 7 December 1941 when Imperial Japan decided to disable America so…

  • George Rebane Well, the Democrats wound up their quadrennial bash with a big night of Joe Biden who kept both feet firmly on the floor and out of his mouth.  I thought his was the best speech of the night.  Timothy Cardinal Dolan did the anchor leg with a closing prayer that could easily have…

  • George Rebane The National Weather Service is buying tens of thousands of rounds of jacketed hollow point 40 caliber bullets as reported by infowars.com.  It is the latest government department to start packing heat, and joins a disconcerting number of other government units (e.g. Dept of Education) that have no obvious use for deadly force…

  • George Rebane More of same + more time = more of same. Well, if the local lefties are any indication, then there was a lot of Dems dancing in the streets last night after it cooled down a bit.  All the progressive pundits are heralding Obama’s upcoming slam dunk victory.  Might as well not spend…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 3 August 2012.] One way morally malfunctioning politicians play both sides of the street and bamboozle the voters is by passing a law, ordnance, or regulation that satisfies one faction of their supporters, and then tell the other faction punished by such…

  • George Rebane Well folks, Scranton’s bankruptcy may have been the cognitive tipping point for the nation, but because of the lamestream cover-up we can’t be certain.  Following yesterday’s announcement by San Bernardino, the Pennsylvania city is now the 12th municipality filing Chapter 9, with 27 more jurisdictions standing in line to be next.  And the…

  • George Rebane Reading this morning’s Union I couldn’t help but notice the front page piece (paywalled here) on Sierra Roots and the Common Ground Homeless Garden.  The project is the handiwork of former Nevada City mayor Reinette Senum.  Its objective is to help down and out people in the county to have “a safe place…
