  • Ruminations – 30sep14

    'My Uncle Frank in Chicago was a staunch Conservative, and voted straight Republican until the day he died.  Since then he has voted Democrat.'  (H/T to reader) George Rebane Measure S proponents have an ex parte court hearing tomorrow to change the wording on the ballot that has been known to all since last April.  These…

  • Thoughts on Marijuana and Measure S

    George Rebane Measure S to replace Nevada County’s current Ordinance 2349 specifying how medicinal marijuana (MMJ) has become our community’s latest cause celebre and also the casus belli between the pro and anti Measure S factions.  Measure S is a public initiative on the November ballot to replace the current 2349.  Both S and 2349…

  • Ruminations – 23sep14

    George Rebane The ISIS fatwa urging all Muslims in the world to ‘kill ‘em wherever you find ‘em’ is finally starting to cause some serious concerns among western leaders.  The news services are reporting frustrating communiques being issued by presidents, prime ministers, intelligence service heads, and national police forces.  The problem comes with the radicalized…

  • Marijuana Ordinance Utility/Criteria

    George Rebane In the comment stream to ‘Medical Marijuana Cultivation Initiative’ I suggested that a better marijuana ordinance for Nevada County should be developed through a more systematic process starting with laying out what are the criteria that the provisions of such an ordinance should satisfy.  A collection of such criteria are also known as…

  • Medical Marijuana Cultivation Initiative – Nevada County Ballot Measure S (updated 6sep14)

    [This November Nevada County voters will decide whether to adopt a new and revised marijuana ordinance or keep the existing one.  The marijuana cultivation issue continues to generate more heat than light.  Here is one comparative analysis that was published in the September edition of The Nugget, the monthly newsletter of Nevada County Republican Women…

  • Ah yes, the “proudly progressive” among us

    George Rebane Today’s (27aug14) Union published the bios of its new fifteen-member editorial board that has been penetrated by three, count them, three conservatives – Rachel Helm, Norm Sauer, and Stan Meckler.  From what I have seen, the remaining members steer a decidedly leftward course ranging from a few unmistakable degrees to ‘hard a’port!’ Ms…

  • NGOs, come one, come all!

    George Rebane Nevada County is the home of record to one of the largest covens of non-governmental organizations and 501c3 foundations.  Most of these organizations are devoutly leftwing and doing their best to bring forward and implement the objectives of UN’s Agenda 21 (while loudly decrying anything of the sort).  Their work product has contributed…

  • Ruminations – 9aug14 (updated)

    George Rebane IBM’s new NeuroSynaptic chip was recently announced and is making a big PR splash in the print and online media (more here and here).  The chip’s processing power is based on the parallel implementation of essentially identical ‘neuronal’ structures that mimic major sections of the brain’s neocortex.  We reported on one such promising…

  • State of Jefferson Townhall in Penn Valley (updated 4aug14)

    George Rebane RR has posted on the national movements to break bigger states into smaller ones as part of the impetus to achieve some form of America’s Great Divide (here).  These movements are birthed by the realization by large cohorts of conservatives in the several states that they are no longer represented in their states’ legislatures,…

  • SBC, in their own words

    [For some years now the Sierra Business Council (SBC) has been a center of interest and amusement in regional conservative circles.  The non-profit NGO has drawn this attention primarily through its somewhat untoward selection of its name, and the longstanding and determined defense of that moniker by its CEO Steven Frisch.  Mr Frisch has maintained…
