  • Scattershots – 1may22

    George Rebane ‘Workers of the world, arise and celebrate the day that brings us together to again be thankful for the blessings of collectivism that unite us in a revolution to make socialism available to all peoples everywhere.’ – or something similar.  I just thought it would be appropriate to make up that piece of…

  • Leftwing Journalism (Addended)

    George Rebane Reading this morning’s (28apr22) Union, I was both startled and disappointed when I came to the paper’s weekly Hits & Misses column (here).  Publisher Don Rogers usually places his contributions at the bottom, and there we saw – MISS (from Publisher Don Rogers): To the kind of free speech as uttered by bullies,…

  • Scattershots – 21apr22 (updated 24apr22)

    George Rebane Re Rise Gold’s opening of the Idaho-Maryland mine, Union columnist Terry McLaughlin writes an excellent summary of the cost/benefit factors in the newspapers 21apr22 edition.  I’ve been on the fence leaning toward opposition of the project.  Terry’s clear, complete, and concise column helped me resolve toward opposing the project.  It’s definitely worth a…

  • ‘Separation of church and state’

    George Rebane On this Thursday of Holy Week my bride Jo Ann, who is a member of the Union’s editorial board, had her ‘Hit’ published in the 14apr22 edition of the newspaper’s weekly Hits & Misses column.  It read – “Hit to celebrations this week of Easter and Passover.  These observances in our community help…

  • Scattershots – 25jan22 (updated 2feb22)

    George Rebane SAT tests are biased and inequitable.  That is the claim by leftwing academics over the past few years.  The evidence shown for this assertion is that black and Hispanic students don’t get the same pro rata scores with the white students.  Today the SAT people say that they’ll fix that by having different…

  • Check your PG&E bill (updated 11jan22)

    George Rebane PG&E continues to provide its customers with added dimensions of its incompetence as the power utility of northern California.  We have covered the litany of its poor performance in these pages, and now add another to the list.  The December bill arrived with a blatant and obvious overcharge for electricity not delivered.  During…

  • Scattershots – 3jan22 (updated 7jan22)

      George Rebane Eight days with no power on Hind Tit Rd.  We have received the same lame information-less message five times from PG&E, telling us that they have access to our area and are starting to assess the outage to see what must be done to restore power.  Not even a hint of any…

  • Herding CRT’s Ideological Cats

    [This commentary appeared as an Other Voices column here in the 27nov21 edition of The Union.] ‘It ain’t what you know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know that ain’t so.’  Will Rogers and others. George Rebane Herding ideological cats is a job Union editor Alan Riquelmy is tasked with as the chair…

  • Ruminations – 27oct21

    George Rebane Record storm total at Casa Rebane measured out at 12.1 inches.  According to The Union this is a regional record for western Nevada County.  We were amazed that the power stayed on while the rain fell almost horizontally.  Home fires were kept burning; we’re blessed with acreage that supplies an ‘infinite’ amount of…

  • The Union – no room for blasphemies du jour

    ‘All great truths began as blasphemies.’  GB Shaw George Rebane [This commentary was published (here) as an Other Voices column in the 30Oct21 Union.  As usual, the leftwing commenters on the newspaper's website continue to demonstrate their total ignorance of who has been censoring whom across the land.  Add that to their reading comprehension and…
