  • Measure W – MMJ Confusion and Hysteria

    George Rebane Today’s Union published a front page report (here) on the latest phase of “outrage” from the pro-grow faction in Nevada County.  According to the report, the latest to be outraged is the father of an eight-year-old boy with “intractable epilepsy” who is being helped by imbibing MMJ in some unknown form.  In any…

  • Dr Anna Haynes strikes again (updated 4mar16)

    George Rebane Dr Haynes is the formerly strident voice of Preventable Global Warming and little known owner of NC Voices, a generally useful concentrator of regional news sites, media outlets, and blogs.  She has run this site for some years and recently did a redesign of it.  On it we conservative bloggers have always been consigned…

  • Response to Jim Hemig (updated 27feb16)

    George Rebane Yesterday I responded to Union publisher Jim Hemig on his ‘January challenge’ editorial about the NCRWF’s ongoing ideology audit of the newspaper’s op/ed items.  Mr Hemig’s challenge was accepted by two respondents – a liberal lady and Jo Ann Rebane, my wife who is the NCRWF auditor.  Mr Hemig waxed philosophical about The…

  • Bob Crabb, Mardi Gras Grand Marshal!

    George Rebane Congratulations and kudos to our friend and community icon RL ‘Bob’ Crabb for being most appropriately selected to head up this Sunday’s Mardi Gras parade in Nevada City.

  • Responding to Paul D. Hauck (updated 17feb16)

    George Rebane Scientism – the misuse of science-like arguments to prop up unfounded propositions, policies, and propaganda. The 8feb16 Union published, as its lead op-ed piece, an Other Voices commentary – ‘An alternative alternate universe’ – by Mr Paul Douglas Hauck of Penn Valley.  In it Mr Hauck responds to my 16jan16 Other Voices commentary…

  • Reinette on Voting

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be. Thomas Jefferson George Rebane For those new to Nevada County our Ms Reinette Senum (pictured) needs a bit of an introduction. She is the former mayor of Nevada City and a local liberal activist who has promoted many collectivist causes hereabouts.  I have worked with…

  • ‘Pelline Protocol’ – exposed again (updated 29jan16)

    [Our friends Nancy and Eddie Garcia have been founders and leaders of several organizations favored by Nevada County conservatives, among them the NC Tea Party and the State of Jefferson movement. This week the local SoJ supporters assembled to celebrate having gathered well over 5,000 signatures to petition the Board of Supervisors to put on…

  • Ruminations – 25jan16 (updated 29jan16)

    George Rebane A couple of quick points to which we’ll add later. Hillary in an orange jumpsuit?  That was never supposed to happen if we recall our liberal cadres here assuring us that her email imbroglio was a baseless Republican dust devil that would soon be forgotten.  At a lunch today with people who have…

  • Clashing Cultures Count

    George Rebane We read George Boardman’s 'Nevada County's supervisors cede leadership to sheriff on medical marijuana' in today’s (18jan16) Union on last Tuesday’s BoS MJ prezo by Sheriff Keith Royal et al. Generally it was a good piece, we had some inevitable nits because the changing face of MJ production and consumption in CA is a…

    George Rebane Former AG Mukasey on MSNBC drew our attention to certain paragraphs of US Code, Title 18.
