Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 40 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This week’s episode, recorded with a live audience on Zoom, was off the hook a little more than usual, as Lucretia was in a grumpy mood (despite Steve changing up his whisky selection in a futile attempt at appeasement), and audience questions and comments came flying in fast and furious. Yet somehow we managed to cover a lot of territory, from an after-action report on this year’s Indigenous Peoples Day Columbus Day holiday, to some new perspectives in the “voting irregularities” of the 2020 election, to the glories of Popeye’s fried chicken, which apparently triggers the snowflakes at Yale Law School.
Stick around to the very end to take in the exit music from Tom Danks, who offers us the one of the first and best country music takes on “Let’s Go Brandon!”
Oh, and apparently is it some guy’s birthday today. Maybe this guy:

Here’s hoping for a Virginia miracle. As the Biden administration has imploded, the decision of McAuliffe’s campaign to associate Youngkin with Trump looks questionable. Virginia went R in 1993 and was one of early signs that Clinton’s leftist policies weren’t playing well with the public. The state is more D today but people see how gas prices have skyrocketed in the last nine months.
The Never Trump objection to Trump comes from caste or class identification. The NT’s think he is beneath them. They really have no other objection to him, if you get past their layers of psycological projection.
The Methodist student center at William and Mary is woke beyond belief.
I think Hedley Lamar said it best: “I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull d*kes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, sh*t-kickers and Methodists! https://y.yarn.co/356c1914-e949-4c78-9d46-156cacf88faf.mp4
BRANDON is my preferred pronoun.
Popeye’s Chicken is without a doubt the best there is. I’m especially fond of their beans and rice, made with good old fashioned bacon grease. Good Southern cooking, that.
My only problem with Popeye’s is they’re not fast food. I don’t know what it is, but they can’t seem to fill orders quickly.
