  • Debate1 Reflections (Addended)

    George Rebane President Trump did not pull off a good debate last night.  His biggest mistake was again his motor mouth – he kept interrupting Biden’s long answers in which the man had the best chance to display his faltering mental faculties.  To such welcome interruptions Biden’s response was always a cherubic smile as he…

  • Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – RIP

    George Rebane Justice Ginsburg was a great lady and a great jurist.  Her record speaks for itself.  The paeans to her accomplished career have already started, and deservedly so.  As most readers know, I did not share her social and political orientation.  Nevertheless, I can say that she was from the age when Democrats and…

  • Blackouts Transparency

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 9 September 2020.] Two weeks ago in this commentary I discussed California’s blight of 3rd-world country blackouts, and argued that the Power Shortage Blackouts were unnecessary and caused by incompetence at the highest levels of California’s state government.  The other kind…

  • Wildfire Diary – 18aug20 (updated 20aug20)

    George Rebane PG&E turned off power on Hind Tit Road and told us it was part of the 1-2 hour rolling blackouts all across the state. Our blackout has now been rolling along for 17 hours.  Moreover, it was beyond cynical that they decided to turn off power to neighborhoods hurriedly preparing to evacuate from…

  • RL Crabb misses by a mile

    “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) George Rebane Our county’s celebrated and beloved political cartoonist and prominent leftwing thought leader, RL ‘Bob’ Crabb, got a twofer in the 15aug20 Union (on the editorial board of which he sits along with…

  • Doing it to ourselves – why? (updated 12aug20)

    [The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will again vote on Item 26 this coming Tuesday.  Item 26 involves the passage of an "urgency ordinance" that will levy draconian fines on NC residents and businesses for violating any of the decrees and diktats regarding Covid-19 passed by higher up government jurisdictions, and piles on a passel…

  • Letters from the Revolution – 24jul20 (updated 26jul20)

    George Rebane No one’s interests, objectives, values, … will exactly match yours.  The best you can ever do is support those with whom you share the most in common. Kudos to our local restaurants Old Town Café, Sergio’s, and Friar Tucks for remaining open and in business despite Gov Newsom’s unconstitutional diktats and the compliantly…

  • Springtime for our Great Divide

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 17 June 2020.] Where were you and what did you do in the spring of 2020?  The world has changed much during the last three months.  When we look back, we will remember this spring as the historical milestone when Americans…

  • Riot Reflections – 5jun20 (updated 6jun20)

    George Rebane Taking a knee during our national anthem.  This has now become the woke behavior of all right-thinking people in our land where we are free to protest our government and institutions 24/7 (although not always with impunity since the 1A is ailing and in desperate straits).  Given that, remains there no sacrosanct ceremony…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 23may20

    George Rebane Competition is the only cure for incompetence. On this Memorial Day weekend today is HD77 for Jo Ann and me.  Even though we have not left the county, we have taken a number of ‘essential’ trips to the grocery, nursery, and hardware store.  We have also had a number of essential dinners with…
