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 for a few quick thoughts on the solar eclipse and then martinis covering the Middle East, the hidden truth inside the March jobs report, and a senator trying to push a Supreme Court justice into retirement.
First, they applaud former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for fending off the biased questions of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and repeatedly echoing his political rival, current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in saying that Israel must destroy Hamas once and for all.
Next, they shudder at the truth behind the supposedly good March jobs report – that virtually all of the jobs created last month were part-time positions. They discuss what this means and why it explains Americans’ disgust with Biden over the economy despite good unemployment numbers.
Finally, they get a kick out of Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal publicly pressuring Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire – with the not-so-subtle suggestion that she could die soon and hand a Republican president the opportunity to replace her.

soon they will be breaking out the “saved or created” jobs
Michigan also poses special problems for Biden because of his attack on the auto industry.
Aside from the idea that Blumenthal might be concerned about losing control of the Senate this year, doesn’t it also suggest that they’re concerned about Biden not winning?
