  • Stupid is in residence

    George Rebane Robert Summa, the new minder and regional editor of The Union, is a functional idiot.  Gold Hill California Media, the new owner of the newspaper, is on a rampage buying up small town newspapers all over the west with the aim of introducing neo-Marxism to the heretofore conservative hinterlands in laying the groundwork…

  • Peeking Into Progressive Minds

    George Rebane As most RR readers know, the Rebanes have been in local leftwing crosshairs for some years now.  Jo Ann’s prominence in Republican circles – Nevada County Republican Central Committee, President of Nevada County Republican Women Federated, … – and her long hitch on the Union’s editorial board have reserved for her a regular…

  • Scattershots – 26dec22 (update 29dec22)

    George Rebane Christmas 2022.  Jo Ann and I were again blessed to be in the bosom of our family on Christmas eve and Christmas day.  The whole affair took place at daughter Teine and Dave’s house (head of our Southern Tribe) in Alta Sierra.  Teine organized and put on dinner on the eve, Christmas brunch,…

  • Scattershots – 1dec22

    George Rebane China’s nationwide Covid lockdowns.  Does anyone have any reasonable explanation for this supremely stupid policy that will NOT avoid the inevitable nationwide pandemic, destroys the nation’s economy, and gives rise to riots that increase popular opposition to the CCP and its governments?  All pandemics will end through herd immunity – natural or vaccine…

  • Two blind mice

    George Rebane Celebrating political monopolies.  Leftwing thought leaders, syndicated Thomas Elias and local George Boardman, write with glee how California’s Democrat Party cancer continues to grow.  Having already metastasized the state, it is now starting to pick off the remnant low population rural counties in the northern part, leading with our Nevada County. (Their columns…

  • Dark Days Diary – 30sep22 (updated 1oct22)

    George Rebane Sen Joe Manchin has turned out to be another double dummy political hack and a major disappointment, succumbing to the predictable and obvious wiles of Sen Schumer.  Ol’ Joe had us all fooled during the past year as being the staunch stalwart, along with Sen Sinema (D-AZ), against the economic ruin the Dems…

  • Scattershots – 8sep22 (updated 14sep22)

    George Rebane Accuse them of your own sins.  That longstanding advice to our Left comes from both Lenin and Alinsky.  Today no one knows that the Democrats were the first election deniers, seeking to overturn the 2004 election in favor of John Kerry by not certifying Ohio’s electoral votes on the House floor on 6…

  • Scattershots – 18jul22 (updated 23jul22)

    George Rebane The Khashoggi murder continues to aspirate the pundits on both sides after Biden’s fistbump with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.  To me the whole affair is politically ridiculous and a diplomatic farce.  Khashoggi was not a US citizen, but a foreign national with a permit to live and work in America (among…

  • Right/Left Polarization is a Myth

    George Rebane This is proposition is presented by Verlan Lewis and Hyrum Lewis, professors at Harvard and BYU respectively, in their ‘The Myth of Ideological Polarization’.  They use a series of weak arguments and erroneous facts to conclude that “polarization is a myth” and the Left/Right labels are better thought of as names of tribes…

  • Nisenan Nostrums (updated 4jun22)

    George Rebane The 26may22 Union reported (here) that there is a new initiative being launched to have the Nisenan Indians reclaim some of the land that the US government screwed them out of more than a century ago.  The history and Nisenan claim is anything but simple, but this indigenous local tribe, now numbering less…
