Yesterday we asked why.  Then, later yesterday we found out what. That’s how DC works(if you call it that).  Remember Obamacare?  Old Nancy P. taught us that if you want to find out what’s in the bill you can read it after it’s passed.  Transparency be damned. And the “what” or “whats” in the Senate …

We know how.   Fill a backpack, pay a coyote, cross the river, and enter the US illegally.   In the game of Monopoly, pass Go, collect $200, and head for a street name that’s determined by a roll of the dice.    Illegal border crossing isn’t as dicey as Monopoly anymore and it’s way more lucrative …

Two months ago Gavin Newsom got taken to the woodshed by Ron Desantis in a FOX News Debate.   Even his staunchest supporters would agree. Two years ago Gavin Newsom and the Cali government took the old-school NCAA student-athlete no pay model to the woodshed.  Even his biggest detractors would agree. Pay-for-play from coast to coast …

It’s cold outside, but ten nuggets below will warm your innards and get the blood flowing.  Biden warned Iran and told us as much.  “Don’t.”  He paused.  “Don’t, don’t, don’t.”  They did.  Does he remember reinstating aid to them to the tune of $6 billion for “humanitarian purposes?”  Is the 160th attack on a US …

Good news.  We don’t have a crisis at the border anymore.  Bad news.   We have an open border. With each passing month unenviable records are broken time and again with hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants crossing into the USA.  What has changed to cause this record flow?  The US Government is overtly encouraging it …

Elon Musk isn’t busy enough with X, Tesla, and Space X.  Cars, tweets, and trips to Mars are on his plate. More than a few folks think he rescued free speech when he purchased Twitter, now X, and fundamentally changed the platform’s guardrails. So, yesterday, he flew across the Atlantic and was interviewed on stage …

It may be a tad cold outside, but here in the BBR think kitchen we’ve cooked up ten warm nuggets. Donald Trump on the eve of the Iowa Republican Caucus has the highest polling share data ever recorded.  He stands at 48%.  Meet The Depressed(credit to Rush L.-GOAT) on NBC shared the news yesterday. You …

While campaigning never really ends, the rhetoric for the general election this November began ramping up last week as 2023 turned to 2024. President Biden returned from 17 days worth of back-to-back vacations just long enough to remind us that “Donald Trump is a real threat to our Democracy.”  Then he retreated to Delaware for …

The first Ten Piece Nuggets serving of 2024 awaits your consumption below.  Let’s not obfuscate facts.  Claudine Gay got in hot water when she stubbornly refused before Congress to denounce antisemitic speech at Harvard.   Her plagiarism problem has been lurking in the halls of Harvard for years. While she has been removed from the office …

Yesterday’s four-hour, OT, very enjoyable Rose Bowl game and the well-into-last evening’s Sugar Bowl thriller gave most NCAA College Football fans what they want and need.  An escape. But, make no mistake about it.  The toothpaste is out of the tube and, as you know, it’s awfully hard to put it back in. Conference realignments, …
