The Power of Pickleball in Toms River, New Jersey

Big Red Car — Tue, 27 May 2025 13:59:59 +0000

Comes now the weird tale of pickleball and a second century church in Toms River, New Jersey, a city of 100,000 and 75% white and, apparently, keen on pickleball. Who knew? Buckle up, folks, it’s your old pal, the Big Red Car, and I’m about to run over the boneheaded scheme cooking in Toms River, […]

Tariffs, A Little Context And Analysis

Big Red Car — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:49:52 +0000

Since President Trump’s inauguration — is it really still less than the first 100 days — there has been much talk of tariffs. Trump has threatened them, imposed them, modified them, and removed them. New concepts — such as “reciprocal” tariffs — have flooded the space. Tariffs are in play, baby. Trump 2.0 has made […]

The NGO Grift and Hustle

Big Red Car — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:34:16 +0000

The acronym “NGO” is cast about a lot in the news, but what exactly is an NGO and what is their hustle? Great question, dear reader. What is an NGO? An NGO is a Non-government Organization which is an odd name since many of them are, in fact, funded by government block grants or perform […]

Dragon Energy

Big Red Car — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 21:52:23 +0000

We are only a couple of weeks into the Trump 2.0 administration and I can already feel the palpable improvement — meaning increase — in governing energy emanating from what was essentially a morgue during the Biden administration. Honestly, I cannot recall the Biden admin, but I turn 74 tomorrow, so that could just be […]

How Deep Does The Media Corruption Really Go?

Big Red Car — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 17:06:50 +0000

Yesterday I posted about the horrific reveleations about the conduct of the US Agency for International Development — please focus on that word “International.” Today, comes this nugget: USAID funded POLITICO — a left leaning “domestic” media property — to the tune of $8,200,000 over the last 4 years. Whoa, Big Red Car, what’s “international” […]

Who’s Been Swimming Naked?

Big Red Car — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:05:43 +0000

Donald J Trump swept into office like a bloody tsunami and now (comfortably esconced in government housing) is letting the water recede to reveal who’s been swimming naked. WTF does that mean, Big Red Car? What I mean is this Trump fellow made a lot of campaign promises and signed a lot of Executive Orders […]

Close Down FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency?

Big Red Car — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 17:45:01 +0000

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is part of the Department of Homeland Security. It began life as the spawn of a couple of Executive Orders (12127, 12148) issued by President Carter in 1979. Wait, Big Red Car, where did this FEMA bunch come from? Its history looks like this: 1. 1803, first action taken by […]

Budgeting — The Avoidable Train Wreck

Big Red Car — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 15:50:23 +0000

The morons in the US Congress just conducted the latest version of the Sky Is Falling budget crisis. It was predictable, boring, and completely avoidable. How avoidable, Big Red Car, how? Simple the Congress could just do their damn job for a change. Let me explain. First, the US Congress is the laziest, well paid […]

When Markets Speak — Electric Vehicles

Big Red Car — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 18:06:22 +0000

It makes not a whit of difference from whence floweth the power to propel my automobile. I am energy agnostic. I am happy with the internal combustion engine and I could be equally happy with the electric vehicle. So, what’s the beef, Big Red Car? Funny, dear reader. So, here’s my observation — our government, […]

Secretary of Defense Lloyd James Austin III – AWOL, MIA, incompetent?

Big Red Car — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 17:17:22 +0000

Secretary of Defense Austin had elective prostate cancer surgery in December and failed to notify his chain of command as to his status before or after the event. Thereafter, he suffered complications — more specifically, a post-operative infection — that necessitated his removal to the intensive care unit at Walter Reed Hospital for more than […]
