  • Responding to Paul D. Hauck (updated 17feb16)

    George Rebane Scientism – the misuse of science-like arguments to prop up unfounded propositions, policies, and propaganda. The 8feb16 Union published, as its lead op-ed piece, an Other Voices commentary – ‘An alternative alternate universe’ – by Mr Paul Douglas Hauck of Penn Valley.  In it Mr Hauck responds to my 16jan16 Other Voices commentary…

  • Reinette on Voting

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be. Thomas Jefferson George Rebane For those new to Nevada County our Ms Reinette Senum (pictured) needs a bit of an introduction. She is the former mayor of Nevada City and a local liberal activist who has promoted many collectivist causes hereabouts.  I have worked with…

  • ‘Pelline Protocol’ – exposed again (updated 29jan16)

    [Our friends Nancy and Eddie Garcia have been founders and leaders of several organizations favored by Nevada County conservatives, among them the NC Tea Party and the State of Jefferson movement. This week the local SoJ supporters assembled to celebrate having gathered well over 5,000 signatures to petition the Board of Supervisors to put on…

  • ‘The Affordable Plumbing Act’

    [This little dissertation was forwarded by a friend, and I post it for both its humor and explanatory power of the progressive mind.  Well, maybe it’s not all that humorous, but it does provide a change of pace hereabouts, and perhaps, just perhaps, may give rise to an awakening.  gjr] Only weeks after leaving office on…

  • Swansong from an Alternate Universe

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 13 January 2016.  An edited version of it was also published in the 16jan16 Union.] Listening to President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night was a bit surreal.  The speech was remarkable in that he clearly described the alternate…

  • Harbingers of Our Demise (updated 7jan16)

    George Rebane Reports of Muslim men assaulting western women in Europe over the recent holidays have been minimized and dismissed by the lamestream media and leftwing pundits. Their meager reporting has even been characterized as being racist since the evidence all points to Islam in the growing episodes of culture clashes in European countries, and…

  • Ruminations – 3jan16 (updated 6jan16)

    George Rebane Islamophobia is ill-defined as an unreasonable fear of global Islamism. RR has maintained for years that we are in a renewed war between civilizations – Islam vs the west (or Christianity as they see it).  The west’s Left has identified Islamophobia as a racist reaction by the western Christians.  In the last two…

  • Republican Women “wasting time”? (updated 29dec15)

    George Rebane Re Ms Annamaria Sauer’s letter in the 26dec15 Union responding to the charge that the NC Republican Women Federated are wasting their time deriving a biased, therefore worthless, audit of the newspaper’s count of publishing politically slanted op-ed content. The local hard Left has long criticized The Union as being tilted toward the…

  • California – The Progressive Paradise (updated 2jan16)

    George Rebane Lenin promised Russians a workers’ paradise, the rest is history. California’s progression toward socialism has long been acknowledged by both the Left and the Right.  The state is known globally as America’s leading laboratory of collectivist programs and practices.   Leftwing media around the world celebrate California’s ‘leadership’ in all things progressivist.  Leading publications…

  • Sandbox – 19dec15

    [Gun control. Correspondents keep sending me data on gun homicides compiled by the WHO.  For those who truly know something about ‘gun violence’ in America, these data are not new (which says a lot about our progressive counterparts).  It turns out that the US doesn’t even make the top 100 countries in the per capita…
