  • Hunker Down Diary – 26mar20 (updated 27mar20)

    George Rebane When there’s a problem, government is guilty until proven innocent. Today is HD19 for the Rebanes.  We started hunkering down on 8 March 2020, and finally risked it all this morning by showing up at our local Safeway at 7am, the advertised ‘old folks shopping time’.  Apparently the younger people had not gotten…

  • Scattershots – 22feb20 (updated 25feb20)

    George Rebane Surprise! – school costs are projected to double their budgeted income.  Well, not really.  It’s only a surprise to our progressives who either skipped or failed Econ 101.  The 22feb20 Union cites a report by WestEd that projects the coming “silent recession” in our schools (here) This was known to most of us…

  • We do have our own facts (updated 7feb20)

    "A house divided against itself cannot stand." A. Lincoln George Rebane [This is the addended and updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 February 2020.] The nationally prominent public figure and liberal Daniel Patrick Moynihan gave us the well-known shibboleth that "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." …

  • Scattershots – 9jan20

    George Rebane Progressives’ public displays of caring social involvement will abruptly end when they finally destroy the economy that enables such displays. Joining the chorus of all Democrats, Sen Tim Kaine is a POS and a lying scumbag every time he opens his mouth.  Last night on FN he lied about there being members of…

  • A Progressive’s ‘Common Ground’

    “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”  Daniel Patrick Moynihan George Rebane Sierra Business Council CEO Steven Frisch took to task my criticism of Terry McAteer’s Union column (here) in which he glossed over the real problems that California has under Democrat leadership.  Along with McAteer, Frisch also appears to be…

  • Ruminations – 8nov19 (updated 13nov19)

    George Rebane Progressives moving to suburbs and small towns after they have soiled their coastal urban areas.  Almost half of San Francisco residents now want to leave the shithole city.  These people – overwhelmingly ignorant and anti-capitalist – are like locusts and will also devastate their new homes wherever they land.  The process will not…

  • Outrageous Outages (updated 10oct19)

    George Rebane Our power here in western Nevada County went out at 315am.  We set our phone alarms and got up at 630am, and started the generator.  Turning on our local KNCO, we were advised to remain calm, safe, and that everything in the region was canceled for the day.  A PG&E lady came on…

  • Nevada County – economic disaster area

    George Rebane The more that wealth gets redistributed, the less wealth there is to redistribute. This morning’s (27aug19) lead article in The Union by reporter Cory Fisher (here) informs the reader an awful lot about our community that most of us did not know.  It turns out our county is an economic disaster area with…

  • An Illustration of Liberal Ethics, Morals, Logic, …

    George Rebane The 22aug19 Union has a prominent column by Ms Susan Rogers, a very liberal member of the newspaper’s editorial board.  There in ‘Plenty of shame to go around’ she equates the thuggish behavior of county Democrats at Representative LaMalfa’s recent town hall, with the congressman’s socio-political ideology as expressed through his legislative work. …

  • Scattershots – 12aug19 (updated 14aug19)

    George Rebane A long march to protest over-regulation in California is planned to start on 13 August in Vinton (the northern terminus of Hwy 49) and wend its way through 300 miles of rural mountain and hill country roads to end in Oakhurst on 25 August.  It will be done in daily segments which takes…
