Questions we had a few. Fifteen actually. That was so yesterday.
Thoughts, we have a few. Today. Five only.
But first a request. BBR management has been actively seeking council both from the medical and legal community with concerns for our loyal reader’s safety. As a result, beginning 8/1 it is our policy that we respectfully must require you to be masked when visiting this website. Advances in internet interaction have reached a point where concerns about the ability of our virtual community to spread the dreaded Covid-19 or its variants are real. Al Gore is both proud and saddened at this development. Thank you for ensuring your safety and the safety of others.
We have a few observations.
- President Barrack Obama and his foundation joined forces to promote NBA Africa. In a joint statement, the league and Obama look forward to promoting equality, wellness, social reform, and opportunity on the continent. The NBA took it a step further by awarding the Obama Foundation a minority ownership position in NBA Africa. That all sounds hunky-dory. We wonder when Obama will use the enhanced pulpit (as if he needed an enhanced one) to denounce the NBA’s romance with and of Communist China.
- Eighteen Republicans signed on for a $1.2 trillion infrastructure Senate bill sight unseen. The needed 60 votes are there. The bill actually hasn’t even been written yet. The country’s debt is $30 trillion and counting. The infrastructure bill will inevitably have as much to do with pork for representative’s pet projects as it will coast-to-coast infrastructure.
- One of our staff members is often asked what the difference between conservatives and Republicans is. The answer in part is that no true conservative would vote for the above measure for a multitude of reasons.
Leading the charge is the biggest spending RINO(Republican In Name Only) of all, Mitch McConnell. Lapdogging at his heels are Bill Cassidy, Lindsey Graham, and Mitt Romney. Conservatives should and will vote against these bloviated elephants in their next bid for reelection. Incumbents rarely lose in primaries. We are in rare times. - Since when does a vaccine need to be administered to 100% of the population for it to be effective?

noun
a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.
5. President Joe Biden used a visit to a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to roll up his sleeves and assert solidarity with the workers, telling them “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man.” He offered no evidence to support the boast. Should we call this a gaffe? Or, an outright lie? Does it matter?
In the movie The Karate Kid, did Mr. Miyagi tell Daniel Son, “wax on, wax off,” or was it “mask on, mask off?” TGIF is only 15 hours away.
