Ten Piece Nuggets

The Texas drought (insert climate change sarcasm) caused a three-month nugget supply chain issue.  Then the rains came 72 hours ago.  Let’s get to them.

  1. Do you listen to #iheartradio?   They have more COVID scare commercials than J&J and Pfizer combined.  Last night they lit up the Empire State Building in blue to bring awareness to themselves and the coming next threat certainly in that order.  It should make you see red.
  2. Three years ago America was scared of COVID and mostly welcomed the “free” vaccination to vax the nation that wasn’t a vaccination nor free.  Three years later they’re going to cost about $100 a jab and we predict that the open arms with rolled-up sleeves will be few and far between.
  3. Speaking of commercials, surely and unfortunately you’ve seen the one touting the pharmaceutical prescription issued Jardiance?  It’s approved to lower blood sugar.  It has to be, we repeat has to be, the worst commercial ever.  It’s just an opinion, but it’s a strong one.
  4. The US Military is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing $80 million dollar F-35 stealth fighter in South Carolina.  Officials reported last evening that there was no concrete evidence of it crashing.  The pilot ejected along the way.  We should take better care of our toys.  Of course, $80 million isn’t what it used to be, just ask Ukraine.
  5. Speaking of lost, we can’t find any video of Epstein’s cell or from the White House that got a little whiter when some cocaine was left behind.  But, if you want to see Rep Lauren Boebert get chummy with her beau in a theater in the dark, we’ve got TMZ-level coverage.
  6. The Senate officially changed its rules so that Senators no longer have to dress decently to appear on the Senate floor.  Call it the Fetterman Rule.  How low can we go?  It’s yet another example of reducing standards or laws in the country.  Lower the bar low enough and everyone passes the test.  Thank you Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
  7. Hunter Biden’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against the IRS on Monday, alleging that agents have “targeted and sought to embarrass” the president’s son. Biden’s lawsuit seeks for the court to declare that the IRS “willfully, knowingly, and/or by gross negligence, unlawfully disclosed Mr. Biden’s confidential tax information.”  Hasn’t he cost America enough already?  Rules for thee, but not for me.

  8. “Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6,” former President Donald Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker during a recent sit-down interview aired yesterday.  He’s persistent.  But is he right?  If so, it sheds a different light on the dark day.  Will we ever know?
  9. Pelosi retorted yesterday as well. “There is a sickness here that has to be an intervention. That intervention has to be the election, which we have to win. That’s one of the reasons why I am running again, to fight for our democracy. Which is at stake, if he’s on the ballot.”  Seems like our democracy is always at stake.
  10. Deion Sanders and the transfer portal, not in that order, have changed the college football game.  It’s not that he’s 3-0.  It’s that he’s brought an incalculable amount of free press to a university that hasn’t been relevant in the sport for 20 years.  Last night it was 60 Minutes that cozied up.

 

Happy Monday!

 

 

 

 

The Last Shot

Novak Djokovic battled past Daniil Medvedev 6-3 7-6(5) 6-3 and into the tennis history books on Sunday, winning the U.S. Open and his record 24th major championship victory.

But the numbers don’t tell the entire story.  In fact, they tell very little of it.

When the last shot of Medvedev fell short, Djokovic fell to the ground in pure joy and reflection.

Also, when the last shot fell to the ground, the ESPN announcing duo of Fowler and McEnroe had to do their duty for a sponsor and pick the “Moderna Shot of the Day.”  They chose the last shot of the day.

The irony.

You see Djokovic was not allowed to participate in the last two US Opens, because he did not get a shot or two, or three from Moderna, nor Pfizer, nor J&J for that matter.  For him, the Open was closed.  His last shot will also be his first.

He looks fairly healthy without the jab don’t you think?  But, but, but he could spread it.

Progressive Disney owns progressive ESPN-at least for now.  It telecasts the progressive US Open.

The Open has signs everywhere boasting “50 years with equal pay.”  It’s nice work if you can make the same money playing at most three sets when the men play up to five.

It’s even nicer when the audience for the women’s finals is usually about 1/2 of the men’s.  It used to be called capitalism.

The women’s final was played on Saturday.  Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka.

Also, the country’s national anthem isn’t played there.  They only play a mixture of America the Beautiful and Lift Every Voice and Sing.

And there he stood accepting the trophy at Center Court without a mask nor a 6-foot social distance perimeter in sight.  That’s surprising because the last two weeks we’ve been told by the CDC and NIH experts that a new strain of the coronavirus is coming at us like a Djokovic ace.

It’s called Corona 24.b.a.firefauci.nbc.whocares.+ 2.#juststopit.enoughalready, or something close to that we heard.

The stiff in the suit who presented the trophy to the champ said, “Welcome back to New York Mr Djokovic, we’ve missed you.”

When Djokovic is pronounced the D is silent.  So it’s “joke o vic.”

Last night the joke was on them.

And, the smile was on Novak’s face.

 

 

Hot Ground, Man

It’s the back-to-school time of the year.  Pull up a chair and sit up straight at your desk as class is now starting.

Let’s start with defining tone deaf.

Al Gore’s internet defines tone deaf as having or showing an obtuse insensitivity or lack of perception particularly in matters of public sentiment, opinion, or taste. 

Sometimes examples work best to further one’s understanding.  So, let’s use President Biden’s trip to fire-ravaged Maui as a textbook example.

Mr. Prez went straight from one vacation to the next as another vacation destination, Maui, burned.  Over 100 are confirmed dead, and as of this writing over 850 are still missing.  Missing two weeks after a catastrophic event is never a good sign.

Biden shuffled off of the beach onto Air Force One and descended upon the 50th state yesterday.  Many local officials asked him to wait a bit as traffic snarls are so bad with the responders and citizens all trying to restore some sense of normalcy much less stopping it cold for his visit.  The photo op outweighed the request.

Biden stood before the assembled with charred everything in the background.  He proceeded to empathize with the devastated citizens.

He referred to an incident in 2004, when he was a senator for Delaware.   Biden described how lightning struck a pond by his Delaware home, hitting a wire, and coming up underneath his home into the heating and air conditioning ducts.

“To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat,” Biden said. “But all kidding aside, I watched the firefighters, the way they responded.”

A small kitchen fire was extinguished in 10 minutes.  And, he nearly lost his Corvette.  The horrors, all kidding aside.

This reminds us when he reminds military families who suffer the loss of a family member that his son Beau “lost his life in Iraq.”   Except he didn’t.  Every great President can relate to the common folk, even the tone-deaf ones.

But Biden continued to step in it.

Prior to his speech, he met and shook hands with a group of officials, stopping in front of a search and rescue dog. While petting the dog, he joked about the boots the canine was wearing.

“You guys catch the boots out here?” Biden appeared to ask the press watching him. He smiled and said, “That’s some hot ground, man.”

“Man.”

Why pray tell might the ground be warm?  Summer maybe.  Summer probably.  But, the memory of the savage fire heating the earth is seared in people’s memory.

But, wait.  He wasn’t done just yet.

He appeared to fall asleep in a later meeting with more victims and officials.  His handlers likely will dismiss this.  Maybe he was being reflective.  Maybe he fell asleep.  Maybe even looking like you fell asleep while being reflective isn’t a good idea coming off of weeks of vacation time.

The reactions to all of this were swift, direct, and harsh.

Fox News Radio host Jimmy Failla joked, “Biden landed in Maui and made a joke about how hot the ground was. Up next he’ll head to Pearl Harbor and order a round of Kamikazes.”

Another tweet, “can’t take him anywhere.”

At least his sleeves were rolled up on his custom dress shirt and he donned the presidential seal ballcap.  The garb gives us a sense of his willingness to go to work for the people.

Of course, that occurs only when his vacation time does not interfere.

So far he’s advanced $700 per family affected.  In Hawaii that buys two pineapples and a large milkshake.

“Aloha” means hello.

But it also means goodbye.

 

 

Less Carbon, More Vax, Way More Money

“Follow the science,” we’ve been urged to do over and over.  We wonder if that should mean “follow the money,” though.

For example, yesterday, John Podesta, the senior adviser to the president for clean energy innovation and implementation, said with a straight face from the White House podium, “We have cut the carbon pollution that’s driving the climate crisis, and that’s what the Inflation Reduction Act is all about.”

One, global carbon emissions are up.  Two, how does a trillion-dollar spending bill reduce inflation?  Three, at least he admitted the reduction act is all about spending on his and Al Gore’s favorite pet projects.

Who pays for the above?  You.

As another example flash back to 2021.  Anthem/Blue Cross/Blue Shield had a COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive program.  Dr. Robert Malone obtained a copy of it and dropped it on Twitter last week.  It provides documentation of what many have believed to be going on with physicians’ and hospitals’ obsession with administering unlicensed medical products which have proven neither safe nor effective.

Anthem/BlueCross/Blue Shield was offering docs and hospitals money per administered jab to its members. For example, if 30% of the participating office’s Anthem patients got one vaccine, the doc got a $20 bonus per member.  This increased rapidly all the way up to $125/patient if 75% rolled up their sleeve. This bonus opportunity ended on 9/1/21.

But if you got a new patient to get vaxxed(it wasn’t and still isn’t a vaccine) between 9/1 and 12/1/21 you got $100/patient for 30% and $250 per lemming for 75% participation.

Remember when you were told the vax was free?  The government paid pharma for each shot, and your indebtedness (the government) went up.  Meanwhile, insurance companies were incentivizing free injections.  Who pays for insurance inevitably?  You.

And you wonder why Ivermectin was labeled horse medicine only?  No incentive, no Ivermectin.

And for the piece de resistance, how about we bury CO2?

Louisiana will receive $603 million in Department of Energy grant funding to create a direct air capture hub in Calcasieu Parish.   Huh?  Dubbed Project Cypress the direct air capture hub will attempt to pull more than 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually directly from the atmosphere and sequester it deep underground, according to the Department of Energy.

Talk about climate change.  What possibly could go wrong?

It’s not nice to fool with mother nature.  Hey, but at least it’s supposed to create  2300 jobs. Who pays for those jobs?  You.

Joe Biden has done all of this for us.  Yet, he claims to have reduced the debt by $1.7 billion, or trillion, or million, depending on his misspeak du jour, since he took office.  And, wait, there’s more. He’s done that, yet not raised taxes on anyone making under 400k annually per his campaign pledge, he says.

That’s damn near a Houdini act.  You wonder if he could make the CO2 go away all by himself.

What does, “You’ve blinded me with science,” mean?

Fall is near.  Have you been boosted recently?  It’s free.

 

 

 

 

Be Careful What You Wish For

Burmese pythons in the state of Florida are classified as an invasive species.  An invasive is an introduced species to an environment that becomes overpopulated, enabled, and harms its new environment.  An introduced species is one which has arrived there by human activity either deliberately or accidentally.

This man-made (induced) problem has disrupted the process of natural selection.  Simply stated the harmony of multiple living beings is changed.

Similarly, the government has disrupted our harmony in the last decade as well.   That which we took comfort in and lived by is no longer.

Too many white cops killed too many initially thought to be innocent (or were innocent) black citizens.   Mostly peaceful riots, looting, burning, assaults, and theft in Minneapolis, St. Louis, Seattle, Oakland, etc. led to cries to defund the police.

Progressive cities, all the while, were decriminalizing previously criminal acts.  Even if you are arrested bail has been reduced or eliminated for multiple offenses.  Put criminals back on the streets ASAP.

Multiple retailers have now even trained employees to stand down as flash mobs invade the store and clear the floor of merchandise.  Downtown San Francisco is now a retail ghost town because of it.

And, city leaders such as newly elected Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have lectured us that calling the dozens of hoodlums gathered to commit crimes a “mob” is inappropriate.  They should be called “large gatherings.”  And, pythons should be called competition, perhaps.

Bought and paid-for prosecutors and judges are refusing cases or suspending sentences.

And, the law is so compromised by the new order that it’s walking away rather than being caught in the death squeeze.

Lt. Jessica Taylor, formerly of the Seattle Police Department, retired on Aug. 1.  On local Seattle radio she lit up the city like a post George Floyd Minneapolis night.  “The toxic mix of the Seattle City Council’s absurdity, the spinelessness of the Mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor’s office, and your failed leadership has accelerated this city’s downhill slide straight to rock bottom,” she opined.  “It’s been a free fall into anarchy & chaos.”

Washington DC Councilman Trayon White, Sr. voted for lowering punishment for major crimes like armed theft and carjacking. Now he’s on TV crying that the city has become “a war zone ” and the National Guard should step in.   Feed the python, then complain about it coming too close for comfort.

There were 16 homicides in DC in just the first week of August.  But, the NAACP sent a travel advisory to black people visiting Florida.  When they say something is not about politics, know that it is always about politics.  Gin up the base.

In metro New Orleans, the total number of uniformed police fell below 900 for the first time since the 1940s.  The city budget calls for 1800.  You read that right.  Why work for peanuts in a city that needs a circus tent placed over it?

Illegal immigration will only add to a city struggling with rampant crime in a new world order.  New York proudly proclaims(or proclaimed) itself as a sanctuary city.  That lasted as long as it took for the first bus of illegals to hop out onto Fifth Ave.  Now Mayor Eric Adams says that the care needed for the influx of migrants threatens to bankrupt a $9 billion dollar budget.

Pythons are constrictors that coil around their victims and squeeze the life out of their prey.   They have no natural enemies in The Everglades.

The government has to pay python hunters a bounty to help control the problem.  It’s gotten that bad.

Slither on.

 

 

 

 

Ugly Americans

The Megan Rapinoe penalty kick that went terribly awry hadn’t yet landed in row twelve Sunday, sending the USWNT home way earlier than expected from World Cup 2023, when Twitter and other mediums fired up the disgust, disdain, and downright hate.

America loves a winner that also loves America.  America empathizes with a loser that also loves America.  America hates a loser that also hates America.

Ms. Rapinoe(we aren’t sure that she would approve of the MS) became the lightning rod in the middle of the storm that this team created.  They managed to skip/kneel/ and act disinterested during the National Anthem one too many times for one too many American.

Their gripes were plentiful and aimed at a country that gave them opportunities a plentiful.  Social injustices were just the start.  Equal pay became the cry.  And, mint dyed hair herself said that her greatest accomplishment over the last eight years with this team was “equal pay.”  Interesting answer.

People’s want for equal pay in America is tempered by doing an equal job in the capitalist arena.  When far fewer folks watch the tv pays far less to teams because advertisers and sponsors get charged less.  Usually.

Don’t believe it?  Ask any WNBA player.

And, the last straw was her overtly expressed desire for trans women to be allowed to play soccer, and for that matter all sports, with the biological kind.  American sentiment runs strongly the other way.

The kick and the team’s shortfall have now been labeled “the woke choke.”

Megan Rapinoe is on a very short list of the most controversial sports personalities of the 21st century.  She’s got a lot to say on a lot of topics.  America prefers to keep sports as an escape from the daily discourse that is far too rampant.

Some, predictably and as is their right, dribbled in her defense.

Pablo Torre, Spanish soccer player for La Liga club Girona tweeted, “Nothing says AMERICA FIRST more than rooting against *checks notes* the literal U.S national team because they *checks notes* peacefully exercised freedom of speech.”

Someone needs to tell Pablo that freedom of speech in the USA works both ways. If you don’t like red, white, and blue, red, white, and blue might not like you either.  If he would have received a Presidential Medal of Freedom as Rapinoe did, he would know that.

The penalty for missing a penalty kick is that you get sent home.  The penalty for missing a penalty kick when you have repeatedly trash-talked your home is far greater.

Rapinoe’s world stage just collapsed and not a moment too soon.

That is unless Joe Biden invites them to the White House to celebrate their 16th-place finish.

 

The Fight for our Democracy

If you’re from the left you know  President Donald Trump stirred up his ultra MAGA loonies to storm the Capitol Building on 1/6/21.  He deserves to be impeached, indicted, tried, and convicted.  No sentence is too harsh for this treasonist act.

If you’re from the right you know that the Feds and Nancy Pelosi were heavily involved in staging J6 from the jump.  She refused National Guard help offered by Trump the night prior. This is all a part of a bigger plot to discredit Trump and keep him occupied so that he may never occupy the White House again.

It’s ping pong.

Turn on your favorite news channel and they’ll repeatedly show you evidence and put on “experts” 24/7 to validate what they want you to believe and what you want to believe.

Twitter knows you better than you do.  Every time you open a tweet, retweet a tweet, copy and paste a tweet, or open a video Twitter knows you even better than it did prior.  It, too, feeds you more of what you want to see, hear, and believe.

Objective, logical, balanced, and clear discussions are gone.  Any debate really means you hate.  Disinformation is slang for “I disagree with what you are saying.”

“The fight for our democracy” is a catchphrase now applied daily every single time one side wants to hysterically rile up its base.

There is no doubt that Hunter Biden, his friends, business associates, and hookers helped him show Chinese and Ukrainian businesses the benefits to have him on their board.  Or, better yet, they could “do some business” with his company and access to the then VP was theirs for the taking.

Don’t forget 10% for the big guy.  It’s all there on his laptop the right side howls.  Joe Biden says he never met one of Hunter’s business associates.  Ever.  Pictures of the same be damned.

Ironically, he’s never met his seventh grandchild either, but we digress.

The left says in spite of testimony under oath, emails, video of Joe bragging about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired, and Hunter’s repair shop laptop, there is no real evidence to connect any of these dots.

We could go on and on.  In ping pong, you have to win by two.

Meanwhile, we have a sitting president, whom the DNC shut down any competition to his renomination, who has the highest disfavorable ratings since Jimmy Carter ordered helicopters to land in Iran.  Bidenomics anyone?

On the flip side we have a twice impeached former president, now indicted for about the fourth time for god knows what, with a rabid base that has much fervor.  But beyond that 32% of the country, how much support does he have or can he garner?

One is an old 80, the other a spry 77.  Regardless, age is just a number.

Maybe it’s high time that some new blood and open thinking enter the arena to at least freshen the dialogue and reduce the diatribe.

That actually might make the media do its job.  Doubtful, but one can hope.

Give Robert Kennedy Jr a listen.  How about Vivek Ramaswamy?

Maybe you won’t agree with all of what they have to say.

But, maybe that’s better than believing everything that you hear from the same network or Twitter feed that you put on wash, rinse, and repeat daily.

It’s your serve.

 

 

Like Father, Like Son

Coincidences?  Plenty.  Deja vu?  All over again.  Reality?  Sinking in.

Netflix is very good at docuseries.  They released a solid one in 2018 called Bobby Kennedy for President.  It has more viewers now than it did then.  It chronicles the then New York Senator Robert Kennedy’s life and philosophies prior to him running, running, the tragic ending, and its aftermath in the tumultuous mid-60s.

One-half of a century has passed.  One of his sons, Robert Kennedy Jr, was 14 then.  He’s 69 now.  Last evening he participated in a town hall setting on Fox’s Hannity show discussing his philosophies and beliefs as he is a candidate for President in 2024.

Senior traveled to California to support Cesar Chavez, an American labor leader and civil rights activist.  He walked the streets of very rural East Kentucky, the backwoods of Mississippi, and the streets of LA post-Watts riots.  In short, he connected with the people in the street who felt disconnected.

Those were very divided times.  His brother President John was killed in Dallas.  Malcolm X was assassinated in New York.  Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis.  America was spending a fortune in lives and dollars in a war that it could not win in the jungles of Vietnam.

Junior lamented last evening about how divided we are today, exclaiming that, while a bit more civil, we are every bit as divided today.  He went on to question why we are in a war (by proxy including plenty of $) with Russia when we need so many wrongs made right here at home.

Senior built a nationally organized grassroots campaign in a sense.  Junior is forced into a similar route as the DNC decided to shut down its nomination process to protect one Joesph Biden.

Bobby had plenty of momentum, winning the California Primary moments before walking into a hotel kitchen that he would not walk out of.  He very likely would have faced Nixon.

Robert Jr. seems like he is gaining momentum by the day.  He’s direct, studied, and wants “to tell America the truth.”  He has many beliefs that are conservative as well.  His dad had a few, too.

Both father and son were/are Democrats.  But, you sense that they decide to take stances on issues one by one through careful consideration, not just following party lines and espousing careless rhetoric.

Both decided to run against sitting presidents in their own party running for reelection.   Senior v Lyndon Baines Johnson and Junior v Biden.

In the summer of 1968, the war seemed more futile than ever. Johnson’s approval rating fell into the mid-30s, the approval for his handling of Vietnam even lower.  He was battling significant, though some undisclosed, health problems as well.

LBJ shocked the globe in 1968. He ended a Sunday night TV speech with, “Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president.”

Will Biden actually run in 2024?  His approval ratings are woeful as well.  His handling of Ukraine v Russia isn’t good either.  His health?  Most would agree that physically he’s better off than he is mentally, but that says little.  And little is what his handlers continue to try to get him to say.

The DNC, try as it might, did not close the door.  The RNC should be shown the door.

Obama in 2008 and Trump in 2016 came from almost nowhere.

History might be our best teacher.

Deja vu?

Hurricane DC

If you’re still driving around wearing a mask have we got good news for you?

The White House on Friday launched the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, half a year after Congress instructed the administration to set up a new arm in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

It is a now-permanent installment in Washington and will first be led by retired Major General Paul Friedrichs, a longtime biosecurity official. It comes roughly two months after the Covid-19 public health emergency ended and weeks after Covid-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha stepped down, reflecting an overall wind-down of the administration’s coronavirus efforts.

Just in time!

Pandemics are like hurricanes.  You know another one is coming.  Best be prepared.  You don’t know exactly where and when it will hit.  And, they both get named by the government.

There was Alpha and our favorite Delta AY.4.2 amongst many other COVID-19 variants that caused us to run to CVS for a booster or three.  Hurricanes Katrina, Ike, and Sandy needed no boosters, strong on their own accord.

Permanent installments in DC grow like hurricanes as well.  They start small, grow into an unstoppable fury, and leave a mess behind time and again.

After 9/11 the Transportation Security Administration was created.  It’s now a permanent installment as well.

As of the fiscal year 2020, the TSA operated on a budget of approximately $7.7 billion and employed over 47,000 Transportation Security Officers, Behavior Detection Officers, Transportation Security Specialists, Federal Air Marshals, and other security personnel.  The FY 2023 Budget is 34% higher at $10.3B and manned(or womanned) by 60,652 positions or 29% more fine government workers.

That’s Bidenomics!  Grow the government from the bottom up and the middle out.

Don’t you feel safer?  Remember to take off your shoes before going through the airport gauntlet, please.

You’d think that the combo of WHO, NIH, FDA, and the CDC would be able to handle the next time some Chinese bats take flight.  Or did it escape from the lab Anthony?

But, no.  It is time, or past time really, for another arm to be added to the many in DC there to serve you.

Thank goodness Biden and Kamala are urging the wealthy to pay their fair share.  As they remind us, there is still work to do.

Maybe the government is the virus, after all, it spreads just like a pandemic does.

Unfortunately, like COVID, there does not seem to be an effective vaccine to eliminate its growth.

 

 

 

It’s (Still) On.

Ok, Ok.  BBR is back.

When one of our faithful readers labels you as Buttercup, it’s time to self-reflect.

When age turns to experience and experience turns to wisdom, it’s both an opportunity and an obligation to share.  The goal from here on is to do just that but we’ll need your help.  More on that in a minute.

So, the fight goes on.  And, one of the very core reasons follows.

You’re being lied to by people in authoritative roles daily.  The goal is power and control.  When power and control are the goals the benefit is the gold.  And the approach has been incessant, yet refined over the years.  And, it is quite dangerous.

Let’s try to separate conspiracies, facts, fiction, and logic, unlike the sheep that they wish to herd.

Do you think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone shooting JFK?  Well, in accomplishing the very act, it’s likely.  How did it get to that point?  Ask the Mafia, the CIA, and the Cubans.  It’s all there to connect the dots.  Except it isn’t.  Your government, the one you pay for, refused to release the last 10% or so of the documents after burying them for 50 years and promising to do so.

America doesn’t have a tax “revenue” problem.  It has a serious spending problem.   Now thirty-two trillion in debt and counting and they label a green new deal giveaway as the Inflation Reduction Act.  Sounds good.  Except, the trillion in the giveaway actually puts more upward pressure on inflation.

And, our President thinks you’re dumb enough to think your life is somehow better because of it.  He puts his name on it and calls it Bidenomics in an effort to improve his low polling on the economy.  Maybe he’s right, not about the economy, but about the IQs walking around town.

“The rich should pay their fair share.”  And, the crowd at the Bernie rally goes wild.  The facts are that the top one percent of American earners pay 42% of the tax money collected, and the top 10% pay 74%.  Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren should be ashamed for banging the drum that she took from her teepee on this issue as well.

Jeffery Epstein committed suicide.  That’s doubtful without a lot of “help.”  It’s weird how his guards fell asleep that evening and the surveillance cameras weren’t working either.  He knew too much about too many.  Release the evidence.  We have a right to know that Bill Gates is actually even weirder than he seems and that’s saying something.  How about Slick Willie?  What an apropos nickname that is.

Where did the flu disappear to whilst we fought the invisible giant Covid for two years?  Flu shots are optional.  Covid “vaccines” damn near weren’t.  Oh, and they weren’t vaccines.  Even Fauci knows that.  And, he knows a lot more.  Dr. Rand Paul is one of the few good ones in Congress.  And, the good doc is going to expose this.  If you’ll line up for a shot without knowing its contents and side effects, surely you’ll line up to get sheared every other month.

Don’t call it the China flu or the Wuhan flu either.  That’s insensitive.  What’s insensitive is that the research that you funded escaped from a lab over there.  You just don’t need to know that.

Cocaine in the White House?  The FBI says there’s no way to figure out who carried it in and why.  No cameras, no guards.  Maybe Epstein brought it in?  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Men can be women now.  And women can be men.  Don’t argue.  It’s insensitive as well.  The current population of the World in 2023 is 8,045,311,447.  And 8,045,311,447 of them were birthed by a woman.  Zero was birthed by a man.

Ronald Reagan once eloquently said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well-fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same.”

So as mentioned, we need your help.  This forum needs to educate those around us.  Most that read(not all which is cool) BBR are of like mind.  Sitting around in a virtual circle all nodding affirmative heads won’t help too much.  That’s nice, but we need to spread the word.  Please pass it on daily to others and ask them to do the same.

Mark Twain once eloquently said, “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

Buttercup, eh?
