  • 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…

  • Sheriff Royal on Gun Control

    George Rebane The 26dec13 Union has a piece (here, paywalled?) about our Sheriff Keith Royal being listed among the country’s sheriffs who oppose broad attacks on Second Amendment rights.  I recently hosted an hour program on NCTV’s Breaking Bread with Sheriff Royal.  What he said on the air is consistent with what he told The…

  • Nancy Garcia responds to Gratuitous Charge

    George Rebane On 16 December 2013 a local leftwinger and RR reader Mr Joe Koyote threw out the following gratuitous charge of the kind that is not only his hallmark on these pages, but also resonates with most of the deep thinkers on our progressive flank.  He wrote – Outside money in local politics? What…

  • It Could Happen Again – Liberals Controlling Board of Supervisors

    Russ Steele [My friend Russ Steele, among his many activities, is also a climate change skeptic, blogger (The Next Grand Minimum), retired Air Force officer, and a Nevada County native.  His former blog on local affairs and national issues was NC Media Watch, which I have unsuccessfully tried to get him to ressurrect.  In the…

  • Crickets vindicate erroneous charges (addended & updated 3dec13)

    “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”Read more at http://allenbwest.com/2013/11/superb-video-reagan-vs-obama-social-economics-101/#6G7psfo6DLpBkIvb.99 “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”Read more at http://allenbwest.com/2013/11/superb-video-reagan-vs-obama-social-economics-101/#6G7psfo6DLpBkIvb.99 “Socialism…

  • See you there tonight! (updated)

    [update]  We just go back at 11pm.  What a fantastic evening of musicianship and entertainment was put on by Paul and friends for an appreciative crowd of locals that filled the Nevada Theater.  Thank you Paul.

  • BB6 is in the can – A conversation with Sheriff Keith Royal

    George Rebane Tonight we recorded the sixth edition of Breaking Bread at the NCTV studios.  BB6 may be the last program recorded at the former Grass Valley Group facility since the station is undergoing a transition which involves moving to new quarters for the new year.  I hosted the program in which we introduced a…

  • Supervisor Weston to Manage County’s Unfunded Liabilities (updated 16nov13)

    George Rebane The 14nov13 Union announced that Supervisor Hank Weston will seek a 3rd term for the county’s fourth district.  Among the reasons for his re-election Mr Weston cited his “budgetary experience” that will now be necessary to manage the county’s response to its unfunded liabilities that are coming home to roost.  In particular CalPERS…

  • Ruminations – 12nov13

    George Rebane Now the world, including the dyed-in-the-wool econut chorus, should know about the ‘greening of ethanol’, things that the rest of us (those who paid attention and knew arithmetic) have known for years.  The left leaning Associated Press no less has released a long expose – ‘The Secret Dirty Cost of Obama’s Green Power…
