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 40 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Today, Jim and Greg discuss the wonderfully successful hostage rescue operation by the Israel Defense Forces, the unpunished criminal activity of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of the White House this weekend, and the disheartening phenomenon of young progressives pushing off having children until it’s too late.
First, they celebrate the IDF’s triumphant rescue of several hostages from Gaza. They criticize those whose first reaction to the news is to look for the negatives, and they examine the flaws in the Biden administration’s naive plan to establish peace in the Arab world.
Next, they point out the inconsistencies in how left and right-leaning protestors are treated when they break the law. This weekend, pro-Palestinian protestors vandalized sculptures in Lafayette Square and threw projectiles at National Park Service employees along with the Secret Service, but none of the perpetrators have been arrested.
Finally, they discuss the disturbing trend of young progressives putting off or avoiding having children in greater and greater numbers. They point out the necessity of taking on responsibility and bringing forth the next generation, and how facing the challenges of parenthood is ultimately much more rewarding than eternal adolescence.

Back in the day, I used to see women on various dating sites etc, in their mid- to late-30s and even into the 40s, where under “Children?” they put “Somday.”
I’m sorry ladies, but the decision has likely already been made.
Cat ladies have to come from somewhere …
Or on the plus side, “Kids Avoid Having Lefty Parents.”
The show “Bill Cosby: Himself” available on YouTube and elsewhere, has some great stuff on parents and grandparents.
