  • State of Jefferson: A long shot, but …(Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 June 2014.  As promised, here I have addended additional information and thoughts to the aired commentary.] Our Founders were right, unbridled democracy does not work as the basis for a stable government.  James Madison said it best – “Pure democracies have…

  • ‘The Battle of Bunkerville’

    [Rough and Ready resident Weldon Travis sent me his “observations, conclusions, thoughts” on what some have come to call ‘The Battle of Bunkerville’ where earlier this year rancher Cliven Bundy and supporters faced down a company of federales who had come to confiscate his cattle and end his grazing rights on what we know today…

  • ‘Nuff said

    George Rebane The Republicans were nowhere nearly as bad off as the national lamestream and the local lefties have been making out.  Yes, they did hold the funeral after the 2012 election, and even assured all that the casket had enough room for the tea parties as they lowered it with some glee eighteen months…

  • Yes, we really have become polarized

    George Rebane The Left in recent years has intensified the narrative that the Right has shrunk in numbers while becoming more extreme in its ideology.  The Left sees its own collectivist approaches to organizing society as having become the ideological lingua franca of most Americans.  As evidence of this, the growth of the country’s self-declared…

  • Ruminations – 23may14 (updated 30may14)

    George Rebane TechTest2014 examinees were feted at its annual Survivors’ Breakfast at Tofanelli’s this morning.  The pictured six top scorers – David Bernadett, Lars Montagnaro, Patric Wells, Grant Clove, Sean Anderson, Alex Vobiril – received their scholarship checks that ranged in amounts from $6,000 to $300.  Attending also were junior year students taking the test…

  • Nate Beason at NC Rotary today (updated)

    George Rebane Nevada County Supervisor Nate Beason, who represents District #1, will be the speaker at the Nevada City Rotary Club luncheon today at noon in the National Hotel.  Guests and visitors are welcome.  I don’t know exactly what Nate will be discussing, but you can be sure his talk will be interesting and relevant…

  • Ruminations – 20may14 (updated 22may14)

    George Rebane The Red Chinese and their People’s Liberation Army are hacking American corporations for designs, trade secrets, and business plans – imagine that.  Well, our AG Eric Holder did just that recently, and decided it was time to put his foot down and fight crime wherever it was found.  He actually indicted five PLA officers for…

  • Scattershots – 12may14 (updated 14may14)

    George Rebane Associated Press again puts the ‘lame’ into lamestream media in its ‘A look at all that Benghazi stands for’.  In this extended article the leftwing news organization presents its summary of the Benghazi Bamboozle, news developments that it has studiously ignored or minimized since the 2012 terrorist attack took place.  But even a…

  • The Great Escape

    George Rebane It gives little pleasure to remind us all that progressives are socio-economically ignorant, incorrigible, and unrepentant.  The great escape of companies from the once Golden State continues unabated.  From Nevada County we see the next stage departure of our formerly iconic Grass Valley Group as its remnants are merged with Miranda Technologies.  It…

  • Common Core Unexamined

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 25 April 2014.] Some years back the National Governors Association, realizing that America’s workforce was rapidly losing out in the global job markets, concluded that the country needed a new approach to K-12 education.  Its efforts to that end produced what…
