The fake noose story wound up last evening on the fake news channel CNN.   It started in garage no. 4, spread through the NASCAR community faster than cars coming out of turn no. 4, went through an FBI investigation, and crashed on Don Lemon’s show. And it seems everyone is upset.  Earlier this week in …

A funny thing happened yesterday just two days after the official start of summer.  The barely two weeks old Summer of Love, as proclaimed by Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin, suffered a setback. The city of CHOP, formerly known as CHAZ, had one too many gunshot casualties resulting in either death or hospitalization.   And, as a …

The weekend has come and gone.  But the Summer of Love rolls on.  Ten Nuggets that range from this to that await.  The Summer of Love rolls on, but the occupied zone CHOP had some rough weather roll in.  Tent city had yet another shooting overnight.  One person was dead and one injured on Saturday.  …

BBR was dark yesterday.  Did you miss us?  We missed you. We took the day off with our colleagues to reflect on the passing of two family members.  It’s tough to lose one that you are close to, much less two. Gone is an aunt, and shockingly just hours afterward, an uncle.  Sometimes the will …

Monday afternoon’s BBR staff meeting provided a look back to give us a look at what might happen going forward.  One staff member told us his story about the 2012 and 2016 elections.

Friends Well, I it appears that the old worrier indeed had something to worry about. Stocks collapsed today, perhaps on fears that the Covid-19 pandemic still is anything but in the past, or as a continuation of yesterday’s concerns over Fed Chair Powell’s less than encouraging outlook of the economy. Now, remember, we have seen a two month advance in […]

Do the events of the last few weeks leave you feeling blue?  Are you so mad that you are seeing red?  Both? NASCAR announced yesterday that they have seen enough blue and red flying around at their raceways that they have banned the display of the Confederate flag at all events going forward.  This has …

Friends Stocks finally took a little breather today, and that is probably a good thing. The market averages have gotten very extended on a technical basis, so before we set ourselves up for another more drastic downturn, it would be nice if we just cooled down a bit. The Fed is meeting today and tomorrow, but it is not expected […]

We pick up where we left off yesterday.  But with much ground to cover we choose the Ten Piece Nuggets route.  The Movement moves fast.  We’re listening, learning, and trying desperately to keep up.   Some of this, some of that, and a big serving of “huh?” is below.  We concluded our rebuttal yesterday stating that …
