Dec 25, 2024 BR | #280 | A Festivus

There are few things I despise more than nepotism.  The best thing about America is that originally most wealth and standing had to be earned.  As our country gets fatter, dumber, and more socialist we have lost the earned part and seem to have embraced the taking over the family business.  There are many examples …

 Dec 18, 2024 BR | #278 | Lost Purchasing Power

Today I want to talk about a disappearing phenomenon before it is gone, your dollar’s purchasing power.  The dollar is the world’s reserve currency and the current arrangement was set up at Bretton Woods in 1944 as the US was set to help the rest of the world after the war.  America had all the …

In 1997, there was a wonderful neo-noir crime drama called LA Confidential.  It tells the story of three cops in the early 50s.  Colin McCormick and Padraig Cotter set the stage well in their piece on ScreenRant.com, “Directed by the late Curtis Hanson, L.A. Confidential is an adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel of the same …

Dec 4, 2024 BR | #274 | Makeover, Rebranding, what the Hell is this? Part II

Today we continue with one more post on the hodge podge stew of bullshittery that we are about to embark on.  While the task force was being announced also just over a week ago over 60 million people watched or at least logged in and tried to watch a 58 year old Mike Tyson fight …

Nov 27, 2024 BR | #272 | Bromances, Makeovers, Rebrandings, what the Hell is this?

Today we are starting a two-parter for y’all because there is just too much bullshit going on.  Don Trump’s new bff Elon Musk has certainly changed gears over the years.  I believe words matter and that people like zebras don’t change their stripes as it was interesting to read the Inverse’s piece written by Alasdair …

Nov 20, 2024 BR | #270 | What is Biden doing now?

Well, damn.  I was all set to connect the dots and reveal exactly what The great Pumpkin and Elon Musk were up to for term two, but that will have to wait a week as Old Joe Biden will not go quietly into that good night.  He will not back down from a good fight. …

Nov 13, 2024 BR | #268 | Are We Capitalists or Not?

Today I want to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart called “build your dreams.”  No, I haven’t moved to Mendocino, started my own grow your own operation a little, or resorted to seeing a shrink to discuss my election triggering.  No, build your dreams is actually what BYD stands for.  BYD …

Nov 6, 2024 BR | #266 | Nein Germany Nein

Germany has been making documented bad decisions since at least December 2022, actually it has been far longer than that.  When Chancellor Merkel came to power in 2005, the race to the bottom probably began.  This from Drieu Godefridi at the Gatestone Institute written on Friday, “Today, Germany embraces the ideologies of “green energy” and …

Oct 30, 2024 BR | #264 | My Election Day Remonstration

I apologize in advance for this word salad creation But even I am prone to election day procrastination I welcome you all and before I begin this expostulation A simple plea from me that this is not a dramatization It certainly isn’t meant to act as a formal persuasion More like a mental thoughtfulness clarification …

Oct 23, 2024 BR | #262 | Challenging Times

This past weekend Don Trump worked the fries and drive thru at a McDonald’s in swing state Pennsylvania.  It is good to see he found a job that he is qualified to do.  Now we just have to find a job Kamala is qualified to do and get them both to stay there, but I …
