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.
Even with Rob out, we’re glad to celebrate a great week for democracy! Our guests this week are old friends of ours, Mark and Mollie Hemingway, and they’re here to take us through the irregularities of last November and why it doesn’t have to be nefarious, illegal or fraudulent to call it “Rigged!”
Maybe somebody should write a book with that title. Well, maybe somebody has. (Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections) We get into procedural foul play, institutional corruption and media malfeasance; not to mention fights over fish… They even have some hope that laying the groundwork for restoring democratic confidence might be slowly underway, and some thoughts on how to speed it up.
Our hosts also chat about a winsome week for Republicans; Peter is educated on milk discourse and James give clock changing as thorough a defense as it could hope for. Congratulations to our Braves fans!
Music from this week’s podcast: That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd

There was a great Federalist Radio Hour a few weeks ago with Mollie being interviewed by Emily Jashinsky. HEre’s the link, if you missed it at the time.

A new book by John Fund also talks about the insecurity of our elections.
John’s been writing about that for at least 15 years. Until the 2020 election, the R establishment yawned. My wife got a similar reaction from the Illinois GOP in 2006.
He was really good on Dennis Prager last week.
I’d like less nudity in next week’s podcast.

It’s okay if it is integral to the plot.

Winsome Sears self-identifies as black, not a “person of color” or other label.
This is exactly what I’m talking about.
As they’re Lutheran, both Hemingways periodically provide political analysis on the LC-MS (Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod) allied podcast Issues, Etc.:

https://issuesetc.org/?s=mark+hemingway
Unfortunately, as an LCMS Lutheran, I stopped listening to Issues, Etc. as I feel they were saying too many things that were Midwestern Political instead of spiritually focused. But it was great when they had the Hemingways on.
