Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Since our plans to hide away forever at a remote Minnesotan lake house were dashed – on account of James not having one for us – we decided instead to jump on into the mucky swamp that's swallowed up our institutions. At least we have Eli Lake (who, as you'll hear, knows everybody) to tour us through the law enforcement agencies who've undermined their standing with the public in order to get the guy who they blame for undermining the public's trust in them...
Also, the hosts chat some about the former rep from Wyoming; a Florida judge who hopes to stop Gov. DeSantis from stopping the woke; Lileks is seeing a resurgence of masking; plus, Rob had lunch with Viktor Orbán!
(And check out Eli's podcast.)

Eli Lake does not exactly cover himself with glory.
Anyone who doesn’t notice there was something very fishy about the 2020 election should have his License to Pontificate torn up.

To say the least. But then, this podcast might have no hosts. :-)

Best demographic coverage I've ever heard, was in this Best Interview Ever On Any Subject with Mark Steyn:

How did Rob describe the election, "fair and square"? Eli has a kind of elitism about himself, which is rather off-putting. The funny thing about podcasts is that people relax and let their guard down. His remark about MTG being a yoga instructor is simply misogynistic. The same with his dismissal of Kari Lake. Hmmm.

After hearing James' remarks on how people aren't coming back to the downtown offices, I read this Powerline article by John Hinderaker: Will Our Cities Come Back?
It has charts showing the percentage to which life has returned to the downtown area of various cities. I found the two charts very interesting. (Sadly, Minneapolis lags way, way behind the other mid-sized cities listed.)
