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.
Join Greg and Jim as they discuss Fauci's ugly bullying behind the Covid vaccine mandates, Mexico’s recent election of another far left leader and the potentially big implications for the U.S., and Biden’s claim that Israel’s war with Hamas is unnecessarily being prolonged to keep Netanyahu in power.
First, they unload for the second straight day on former NIH official Anthony Fauci, who was sold as a symbol of trust to the American people. They specifically target comments exposed during Monday's hearings in which Fauci is heard saying they needd to threaten people trying to get an education or a job (or keep one) that they had to get the COVID vaccination. Fauci further said when you apply that kind of pressure, people have no choice but to abandon their ideologies and beliefs.
Then, amid a swirl of breaking news, the Mexican presidential campaign and election went mostly unnoticed, until Claudia Sheinbaum was easily elected the new president. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female and Jewish president, ran on a platform of continuing former President Lopez Obrador’s policies and of expanding the government and consolidating power. The election, coming in conjunction with Biden’s proposed border control, could have big implications for the United States relations and trade with Mexico.
Finally, after supporting Israel for months, Biden turned tail and claimed that the prolonged war against Gaza is a power grab for Netanyahu and an attempt to occupy Gaza completely. Biden says that Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7th attack, and so, enough is enough. Biden claims that the war in Gaza is as bad as the American occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and is unnecessary.
