  • Scattershots – 22aug15

    Liberalism is what ‘smart’ looks like to stupid people. – from a talk radio call in George Rebane Apropos to the above bagatelle, we have a letter to the 22aug15 Union from a Ms Kuczora.  The good lady intends to enlighten the “many ignorant Americans” about socialism, which in her dim lights reveals itself as…

  • Liberally Liberal Abortions Revisited (updated 16aug15)

    George Rebane In response to my 7aug15 commentary – ‘Planned (alternative to) Parenthood’ – in The Union, the newspaper’s 15aug15 edition contains two related pieces illuminating the liberal mind from the logically lame to the deliberately deceitful.  The first is a letter to the editor from “Dr Larry and Cheryl Cook” (paywalled here), and the…

  • Ruminations – 12aug15 (updated 13aug15)

    George Rebane Helped Jo Ann and friends work the Republican booth at the fairgrounds today.  We were located between the Vietnam Veterans and the State of Jefferson’s booth with the NC Tea Party beyond them.  It was kinda like old home week on Redneck Row the way we all were lined up with everyone flying…

  • Scattershots – 14jul15 (updated 15jul15)

    George Rebane Heidi Hall is running for District 1 county supervisor, so think a lot of folks in Nevada County.  She is a well-spoken woman and a trained leftwing ideologue who currently has an unopposed soapbox provided by The Union newspaper.  Her weekly column keeps her in the public eye, and allows Union readers to…

  • Ruminations – 10jul15 (updated 11jul15)

    George Rebane After carefully perusing ample evidence on the matter, I am sad to conclude as gently as I can that Board Trustee of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ms Linda Campbell is an idiot.  My non-accredited belief is based on following her previous public correspondence, and was confirmed this morning by a reading of…

  • Anticipate a Promising 4th

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 July 2015.] Today the country is under terror alert, and the FBI is setting up counter-terrorism control centers across the land as the rest of us prepare to celebrate America’s 239th birthday this weekend.  We know the world is broken, and…

  • Scattershots – 29jun15 (updated 30jun15)

    George Rebane Pot-based tourism in Nevada County is the topic of this week’s Union column by George Boardman whose comments are also often read on these pages.  This is a column full of thought provoking ideas, some obviously with tongue firmly planted in cheek.  But the gist of a TV series (‘High Country’) concerns local…

  • Scattershots – 22jun15 (updated 27jun15)

    George Rebane Economic development in Nevada County must address what many of us see as the three legs of the county’s existing economy – IT based industry, tourism, and retirees.  Absent public service employees, these are the three main cash importers.  There are initiatives in place to attract more IT companies through increased broadband availability…

  • Rich Ulery on Our Unfunded Liabilities

    [This 9jun15 email from my friend Rich Ulery is reprinted here with permission.  Mr Ulery is active in local affairs, is the former chairman of the Nevada County Republican Party, and now serves on its Executive Board.  He also chairs the Citizens Oversight Committee of NCCFD. This report is germane to reignite discussion of the county’s unfunded pension…

  • Medicaid – The Growing Morass

    [This article was published in the June 2015 issue of The Nugget of the Nevada County Republican Women Federated, and is reprinted here with permission.  Its author is the Legislative Chair and 2nd VP of that organization.] Jo Ann Rebane Medicaid today has been described as a costly medical insurance financing scheme jointly funded by federal and…
