  • 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 –…

  • Trump’s Tentative Triumph (updated 10nov16)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary to be broadcast tonight.  I am posting it early due to the heavy reader interest and related comments pertaining to yesterday’s election.] Early this morning columnist David Brooks, NYT’s futile nod to political balance, opined that Trump’s victory was made possible by Americans…

  • Scattershots – 1nov16 (updated 2nov16)

    George Rebane The destruction of America’s economy in order to demonstrate climate change ‘leadership’ hangs over our heads like the sword of Damocles.  Elsewhere in these comment streams I recently remarked, “Nothing will speed post-Americanism more than acceding to the economy busting hysterical nostrums that are supposed to counter anthropogenic global warming. That is one…

  • Boardman on new taxes and “immigration” (updated 26oct16)

    George Rebane I have to take issue with Mr George Boardman’s 17oct16 Union column – ‘We don’t need no stinking taxes for libraries, pot or cigarettes’.  First let me say that Mr Boardman and I read each other’s scribblings on a regular basis, and we enjoy wide areas of agreement and differences, the latter making…

  • The Effect of State Legalization of Marijuana (updated 30sep16)

    George Rebane The debate continues and heats on the pros and cons of states legalizing RMJ production, sales, and use.  In these pages we have covered the progress of attitudes about MMJ and RMJ in Nevada County.  The debaters often cite the experience of other states that have also gone through various forms of MJ…

  • Scattershots – 16sep16 (updated 20sep16)

    George Rebane Nevada City is my home town, a place unbelievably charming and full of character nestled with its sister city Grass Valley in the Sierra foothills.  We discovered it 25 years ago and have lived here for the last fourteen.  It is a community founded by miners, expanded by agriculture and timber, and 'modernized'…

  • Ruminations – 6sep16 (updated 10sep16)

    George Rebane Windpower works when energy markets are deregulated.  Texas continues to make news. “The roots of Texas’ renewables boom go back to 1999, when then-Gov. George W. Bush and a Republican-dominated legislature overhauled the Texas power market. The free market-oriented deregulation broke the grip of most monopoly utilities that controlled generation, transmission and retail…

  • Prop64 misses on RMJ legalization

    George Rebane It’s RMJ time again as we consider Prop64 that will appear on the November ballot and invite Californians to not only legalize the dear weed but allow adults to possess, purchase, transport, and give to another adult an ounce of marijuana, all for recreational purposes.  Moreover, Prop64 would “prohibit local governments from banning…

  • MMJ Ordinance – The Saga Continues

    George Rebane The years long debate on RR over how to deal with MJ grows in Nevada County now enters a new, and perhaps final phase.  Our latest post on this was ‘Medical Marijuana Ordinance – BoS Meeting’.   I want that post to be a preamble to the continued deliberations for NC's newly adopted MMJ…
