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.
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the World Athletics Council for declaring that only biological women will be eligible for the Olympics and other elite track and field events. They also recoil at a new poll showing a sharp decline in Americans greatly valuing things like patriotism, religion, having children, and community involvement. Finally, they further expose the grifting frauds who claim to think President Trump is an existential threat to democracy itself but are doing everything they can to bury Ron DeSantis and make Trump the GOP nominee.

Who is shocked about attitudes of the US have plummeted when K-12 is constantly telling children what a horrible place this is.
Athletes who spent their childhood and early adolescent years as female would almost certainly fare poorly against those who grew up as ‘boys.’ Wouldn’t equity require Jim’s “third category” be split into two categories: athletes who were formerly female and athletes who were formerly male? And doesn’t that put us right back where we started?
Seems like the “athletes who were formerly male” are in the lower ranks and are trying to game the system so they can compete against women and maybe be 1st place instead of 80th place.
If they only compete against other lower-ranked men they might be 5th place or something, maybe even 1st place if they’re only competing against other mediocrities, but really… who’s going to give a damn?
Funny that Greg mentions “Never Trump” Republicans who were “Never Conservative” and so on, when Jim works for the magazine that coined the “Never Trump” slogan.
Did they?
The title of the 2016 National Review special issue was “Against Trump”. I know; I re-subscribed to the magazine just to get one.
Unless it’s hyperbole, “Never Trump” is obviously irrational: “I don’t care about his record in office. I don’t care who the opposing candidate is.”
It’s irrational, but that doesn’t stop them.
