  • Nevada County Robotics

    George Rebane Our intrepid roboteers under the banner of Acme Robotics have advanced to the West Super Regionals to be held in Tacoma on 9-11 March.  The team of high schoolers hails mostly from NUHS and is supported by various local organizations including SESF.  I reported on their most recent competition (here) and the 28feb17…

  • The Assault on Our Polity Intensifies

    George Rebane The Alt-Left appears now to have fully commandeered the operations and direction of the Democrat Party (here).  As reported in ‘Where Now Democrats?’ where their how-to manual, based on outright lies about the Tea Party, is their new playbook being exercised across the land.  The recent shoutdowns of Congessmen McClintock (CA) and Chaffetz…

  • Scattershots – 12jan17

    George Rebane In the aggregate, Millennials lack social skills.  So conclude a number of studies as reported by NPR this morning.  This adds to the list of significant deficits that our new generation has demonstrated (also reported here, here, here, and here).  Most noteworthy are the problems that social services agencies, the military, and law…

  • A Tendentious Change in the Offing

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 11 January 2017.] In a few days we will witness the most tendentious changing of the guard our republic has had since Abe Lincoln was sworn in.  Now that’s ‘tendentious’ like in ‘having or showing a definite tendency, bias, or purpose’. …

  • Scattershots – 18dec16 (updated 21dec16)

    George Rebane Voice from behind the curtain – ‘Pay no attention to the correlation.’ [update]  A reader has pointed out that the above crime map is inaccurate and cites and article in the 16nov16 WaPo (here) that claims to present better data in the map below.  The article’s conclusion is italicized. The violent crime map shows…

  • Scattershots – 12dec16 (updated 15dec16)

    George Rebane Disagreeing with a progressive's view on an issue automatically identifies your 'hatred' of the cause, principles, values, ethics, and/or people involved. More kudos for Mr George Boardman for his excellent apologetics about the recently passed Measure B school bond issue that appears in today’s (12dec16) Union (here).  I will believe that the monies will…

  • “The times call for standing up.”

    George Rebane The recent election did nothing to unite us as Americans.  Half of us are still shocked that the election didn’t turn out as ‘everyone’ was told it would.  And as the shock wears off, the losing side is not about to take President-elect Trump and the victorious Republicans lying down.  At all levels…

  • Scattershots – 5dec16

    George Rebane Kudos to Mr George Boardman, Union columnist, for his excellent article in this morning’s paper on the pipeline brouhaha at Standing Rock.  He takes to task numerous groups of people assembling there with various agendas trying to make hay on the concerns of the Dakota and Lakota Indian tribes.  The factors are complex that…

  • Progressives Partying on a Pimple

    George Rebane ‘YES, California!’ draws more than a smile from some of us longtime prescients who witness the ongoing dissolution of the America our forebears and we have labored to build.  In these pages and on some other commentariats this has been labeled as the coming Great Divide.  There is no agreement in which of…

  • Ruminations – 22nov16 (updated 26nov16)

    "… for more is often accomplished through a witty remark than through the gravest argument."  Gracian #22 George Rebane The far Left still doesn’t understand what happened on 8 November.  But they do agree with RR’s assessment that we share few if any values and mores.  The two sides’ mantras remain diametrically opposite.  Left –…
