  • A confused op-ed by The Union publisher

    George Rebane The Union’s new publisher, Jim Hemig, gave us his understanding of today’s media landscape.  In his 18apr14 op-ed he compared “the difference between a journalist and a blogger.”  His point was that a journalist, especially if he works for The Union, has available all kinds of sources for reporting news and uses them…

  • Con-Con and Common Core

    George Rebane RR, in its long suffering and dedicated effort to continue the posting of announcements of public import, your attention is invited to the following two. Con-Con or the Constitutional Convention as called for in Article 5 has become an item of some urgency for factions widely separated in their ideology and their view…

  • CABPRO Controversy Continued

    [CABPRO is going through some considerable internal dissension between its formerly uncontested Executive Director Mr Chuck Shea and its formerly uncontested Board of Directors.  Today both parties are claiming to be in legitimate control of the organization.  Ms Melinda Monaghan, one of the formerly uncontested directors wrote a letter to the CABPRO membership and asked…

  • Republican Rumblings, Democrats’ Delight – Addended (3mar14 update)

    George Rebne [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 28 February 2014.] It is election season again, and, frankly, it is becoming so that election season has become a perennial pageant.  With the troubles of Obamacare, Benghazi, IRS political targetings, DoJ’s fast and furious selective enforcement of laws, militarizing of federal…

  • CABPRO’s 25feb14 letter to members (updated 14mar14)

    George Rebane Ms Melinda Monaghan, member of CABPRO’s board of directors, sent me a copy of the 25feb14 letter the board mailed to its membership.  As most readers are aware, CABPRO has been going through some serious internal struggles for control between its Board of Directors and Mr Chuck Shea, its recent Executive Director.  Both…

  • Tea Party Candidate Forums

    George Rebane I’m told that in the desire to denigrate, the claptrap from the local Left has again confused the issue of upcoming candidate forums sponsored by the NC Tea Party.  Here is the information on the series of candidate forums that will take place at 6:30PM in Ponderosa Hall at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.…

  • FUE on CABPRO (updated)

    Do not exhibit your sore finger; for all to strike upon, and do not complain of it, for malice always pounds where it hurts the most.  No use to get angry, for this will only add to the general amusement; evil intent goes sneaking around to uncover the infirmity, and prods about to discover where…

  • The Nevada City Boardwalk (updated 5feb14)

    [This piece by Ms Jean Gerard was printed in the 4feb14 (paywalled) Union today.  Ms Gerard was not sure that it would be published, so she sent me the piece to appear on RR as her byline.  It is posted as received.  My own remarks are addended below.] Jean Gerard We’ve heard from several folks…

  • Ruminations – 3feb2014 (updated 4feb14)

    George Rebane Just a couple of observations from the other side of the tipping point.  The collectivist grip on our lives gets tighter by the day. Local leftwingers will demonstrate against the XL Keystone pipeline reports the 3feb14 Union.  The usual suspects from the Nevada County Climate Change Coalition (NC-CCC), coordinating with CREDO, Rainforest Action…

  • Scattershots – 12jan2014 (updated 15jan14)

    George Rebane NID Rate Increase.  Our local water utility, Nevada Irrigation District, has decided to boost its water rates over 33%, or over a third in the next five years.  We are NID customers, and we protested the rate increase in writing before the hearing on the matter last Wednesday.  Niether fish nor fowl, NID…
