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 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This week, Robin Hood is back, and this time he’s running a Wall Street retail brokerage firm. But the whole “take from the rich, give (or more accurately, keep) for the (relatively) poor” thing is still in effect. To discuss, we’ve got WSJ columnist Gerard Baker who explains and opines on it. Then our favorite Congressional correspondent on the planet, the Washington Examiner’s Susan Ferrechio drops by to tell us why Nancy Pelosi thinks the call is coming from within the House, why impeachment is not going to fly, and how much of Biden’s agenda will get through Congress. Also, some thoughts on Ohio Senator Rob Portman decision to hang it up, and another edition of What Are You Watching?
Music from this week’s show: Eat The Rich by Aerosmith

I’d like to agree with James that immunizations will get us back to the State Fair, but I don’t think so. As long as we test, we will find cases every fall, even with a significant portion of the population vaccinated. If cases panic us, events will continue to be cancelled. My only hope is that some smart doctors will find a truly effective treatment, and it is widely used. (Since some doctors are actually looking at the biology of COVID, I do hope and pray this will happen soon.) Until then, anyone for moving to Florida?
Some of us have already Migrated.

I fear that others will be overconfident, wait too long, and end up being stuck. If only because they won’t be able to sell their current home.
We will surely find at least false positives, and that will never end.
Returned to Ricochet recently. Don’t bother looking, I was a different moniker. I am strictly a reader. However, I have to say that I was amazed to hear Peter plaintively begging to hear Susan F. tell him him that Biden really, truly, was going to try for “unity” and reach out to some of the 74 million. Just a little?

Peter and Rob gave absolute RAVE recommendations for a show on Netflix called “Lupin.” I though great, something worth watching. I have watched the opening. Meh. And at IMDB I find mostly serious, serious pans. “Unrealistic…lazy writing….plot holes…inconsistencies….” and so forth. Scores hover mostlyt between 1 and 2 with a very occasional 10. I guess conservatives really ARE out of touch with the folk.
And while “Call Your Agent” is indeed worth my time, for Rob to say it is actually funny is really a stretch.
I would really like to see the actual quotes that Rep Green actually said about space lasers, QAnon, etc. Everything I found so far(very short search) look to be paraphrasing rather than actual quotes. I think the hosts have jumped on a bandwagon without research and seem to be parroting the press – which as we all know only tell the truth…or something. I honestly don’t know what to think but based on the presses track record, I would like to see the original quotes.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

It was a really interesting discussion @peterrobinson thanks! I was able to split wood and learn something at the same time! :)
I’m a bit late listening to this but a fantastic French TV series not mentioned yet is a cops and crime series shown in the UK as Spiral, original French name “Engrenages”, which has just finished its eighth and apparently final series. It’s a very dark and tatty view of Paris, not what we normally see. French law and order, and the public sector in general, seems to be coming apart. It’s really well written with compelling characters, catch it if you can. For a British viewer, it almost makes a refreshing change to see something where crime is committed by, you know, criminals, rather than the fascist Deep State or a white supremacist conspiracy, as is the apparent default on the BBC.
